Chapter 15:
Ash's POV:
Bang Bang
Someone is banging on the door. I know for sure it couldn't be a zombie because of how it banged on the door. It had to be a human fist.
"Guys something or someone is at the door." Andy says hiding behind Liam.
"It's someone." I whisper looking over to Lea. "I got the door you get the person?" She nods.
1.....2......3....
I open the door and Lea jumps outside and onto the person. A gun is held against his head.
"Put your hands up where we can see them and you won't get shot." Trent walks forward holding a gun out. The person slowly puts his hands up as L doesn't loosen up.
"Reed?!" Max shouts. The guy, Reed, smirks as he nods his head.
"Max!" He screams jumping out of L's grasp sending her flying into the ground. Max and Reed do some sort of handshake and Trent runs over to L.
"You okay L?" Trent says sitting next to her side.
"She'll be fine." The new rude guy says. Lea gives him a glare as do I.
"Lea do you believe me now that all boys are rude?" I say as Lea and Andy laugh.
"Ash, I gave you my sweatshirt! How is that rude?!" Liam says making all of us laugh more.
"You're a boy. That's how." Andy says as Liam starts chasing her somewhere inside.
Trenton picks L up and moves toward the door. "Shall we go inside before we get attacked by Zombies?" He offers as everybody laughs moving inside and back to where we were watching Liam's favorite movie. Bex lies on the couch sleeping.
"Bex!" Reed screams running over to the couch. Slowly she wakes up looking him in the eye.
"Am I dreaming again?" She mumbles as Reed smiles.
"No this is real life." He says. Bex smiles and hugs him. "Baby I missed you." He mutters into her shoulder. Everybody seems to have a smile on their face. Even Andy and Liam who have joined us after the tickle fight they just had.
"I'm gonna leave them be. Lea do you have any idea where I could find paper and pen?" I ask and Lea looks to me nodding before running upstairs. She comes back handing me a piece of paper and a purple pen. "Thanks." I say before skipping off to my room.
I turn on the switch for the light as it flickers to life. Filling the room with its bright artificial light. Sitting on the bed I begin to write as I always do.
Hey, the letter that I am writing that will soon turn to ash. Haha, that's my name. Silly jokes. Anyway we have been having a lot of zombie attacks lately. I think we should move but it isn't possible with the small car we have. It barely fits all of us already and I am not sitting on someone's lap. It feels weird enough being here with everybody else's family and loved ones just imagine sitting on someone until you get a break. Not the best Idea. But I guess that is what I have to live with unless I drive. Which I will. Then it works. Lea sits on Trent, Andy sits on Liam, Bex can sit on Reed or Max and then the other can sit up front. It works! And less awkward! I just have to battle the weirdness of everybody knowing each other and me being the new person they picked up off the streets. I mean I might be somewhat fitting in. I just need to stop being angry at crap. Because in reality because people make stupid mistakes doesn't mean I should yell and threaten to kill them. No matter how much I hate them. Aka Trent better watch his back. Next time he messes with my food his hand will be a zombies next meal. Again, I need to calm my anger. Other than that everybody else seems to be nice besides the joking around that we all do. I'm glad that everyone seems to get along like brother and sisters. Most of them are but, ya know. It's better than hating each other's guts right? I mean some are friendlier than others. Like Trent and Lea. Dating each other. Or when I kissed Liam on the cheek that one night when he showed me the room I'm in now. I don't even know why or how I did that. It just came in the moment and I kissed him on the cheek. I blushed like a mad man and didn't sleep for most the night because I was thinking about that all night. Why did I really kiss him on the cheek? He hasn't brought it up sense so I think he may of forgot about it. I hope that is the case because I feel stupid for doing it. He doesn't like me. Even if there was a chance of him liking me he is too busy keeping all of us safe. There is no time for dating and crap. Why am I even talking about it? I guess this is the way of getting things off my chest. Then burning them so they aren't in the way. It is a cool way of keeping my sanity. Like kissing Liam's cheek wasn't. grr. It could be a friendly gesture. You see that in movies. They kiss each other's cheeks as a friendly gesture. So then why am I over thinking this? It's just like him giving me one of his sweatshirts. Friendly. I don't like him. I can't like him. I don't like him. It's a small crush that will go away. Gosh this seems like its fourth grade. Passing notes asking if you like one another then acting all weird because you are left out in the group. I just wish this whole thing will end. Then things have a shot at being normal again. And my brain has a chance of being unscrambled. Until next time. If there is one. -Ash
I hold up the piece of paper and flick the starter of the lighter. The paper quickly lights on fire and changes color because of the purple ink that was once on it. Soon enough the paper is burnt into tiny pieces. I pull them all to a pile on the desk next to the bed. Usually I would go outside and let them fly away in the wind but I'm tired. I haven't slept lately because no one seemed to care about being on guard. So, I took that as my responsibility. Even if I didn't want to, I couldn't fall asleep. Some nights I would sit on the roof. Some nights I would stay in my room. When I'm in my room I tend to get some sleep.
Sleep sounds so good right now. As so I do fall asleep.
