Zombie Apocalypse * h.s

Chapter Three

[Amber's POV]

"Your dad?!" Harry, Niall and Louis said.

"What?!" Zayn said. Liam's eyes widen, but he stayed silent.

"My dad. See the tannish tube-shaped birthmark above his right eyebrow?" I said, pointing at it on Niall's phone.

"I remember that mark," Harry said. "It was a little weird, honestly."

"Are you sure that's your dad?" Liam said, finally speaking up.

"Of course I'm sure. I know my-" I got cut off by the sound of someone else's voice.

"Guys, is Zayn back-" It's Paul. He stopped when he sees me. "Well, I didn't realize we had a 'visitor' today."

Louis jumped up. "Paul, this is Amber Greene." He said, dragging Paul by his wrist from the doorway and pushing him into the other empty futon.

"She was in the alley and zombies where coming so I pulled her along for her own safety." Zayn explained. Paul looked at me and I offered him a weak smile.

"Amber, how much do you know?" Paul asked.

I opened my mouth to speak but Harry jumped in. "She already knows. We told her."

"We also found out that the zombie that chased us was her dad!" Niall said.

"I guess you can't go home now Amber. Sorry about that." Paul said.

"I guess so." I said.

"Anyway, boys, and Amber, you should get ready for bed. Amber, Louis will show you to the room you'll be staying in." Paul said.

"Yes, Paul." The boys chorus.

"Good." Paul stands up and goes into the kitchen. The boys stand up and start walking to the door. I grab my bookbag and follow them.

The door led to a long hallway painted green with many doors leading to other places. Niall went into the first door on the right, Liam and Zayn wend into the second and Harry went into the first door on the left. Louis and I are left alone in the hallway alone. "You'll sleep in here." Louis said, pointing at the door next to the one Harry went in. "The bathroom's the door at the end of the hallway." Louis continued.

"Okay. Thanks." I said softly.

"No problem." Louis smiled and went into the same room Harry did.

I slowly opened the door to the room. It had white walls and no windows. I turned the light on. There's a single full size bed with an orange blanket and two pillows, one with a blue pillowcase and the other with a white and orange striped pillowcase. Next to the bed is a small table with a clock. That's all that's in there. It's a pretty small room.

I closed the door and sat on the bed with my backpack. I looked at the clock and noticed it's almost midnight. I got my basketball shorts and tank top out of my backpack and changed into them. I took pills out and swallow them with a water bottle I keep in my backpack. I debated against taking my sleeping pills before deciding not to. I got my earbuds and phone out then turned off the light. I turned my music on and took my contacts out. I lie down and try to sleep, but I wasn't very tired at 12:04. I went on Wattpad and try to read. I couldn't concentrate and see it's 1:02. I decide to take my sleeping pills then. After I take them I finally fall asleep at 1:56.

-

I woke up to my phone ringing. Still sleepy, I grabbed it off the table next to me. "Hello?" I answered, sitting up and rubbing my eyes.

"Hello." A mechanical voice said. "Amber Greene has a prescription that needs to be refilled at your local Tesco. Please pick it up at by 7pm, when the store closes." I hung up after the beep.

Crap! I had totally forgotten that my pills needed to be refilled. I grabbed the blue pillow and let out a muffled scream into it. Then I threw the pillow at the opposite wall. I lie down and turned over in a huff, trying to think of how I can pick the refill up without the guys knowing.

I looked at the clock and see it's 7:02. I groaned. Too early to be up. I yank my earbuds out and sit up anyway.

Shivering, I quickly changed back into my clothes from yesterday which are a plain red shirt and silver skinny jeans and put my black hoodie on. I grabbed one of my pill bottles, my phone and my contacts and head into the bathroom.

I knocked on the door and after no one answers, I went in. It was a regular bathroom, with a sink, toilet and shower, except that it's painted purple. Like deep, deep purple. I closed the door and went over to the sink. I'd do this in my room, but I need a mirror.

I looked at the mirror and slowly put both my contacts in. I blinked a few times and watched the world become clear. I got my pill bottle out of my pocket and took the last pill out. I hated having to take these when I got up and before bed. But I swallowed it anyway and throw the empty bottle in the trash can.

I walked out of the bathroom and out of the hallway. When I opened the door that connects the three sections to the rooms, I saw Niall curled in a ball on the mattress, sleeping and hugging a bag from Nando's. Louis, Zayn and Liam were in the kitchen. I was surprised to see Paul and Harry joking around with a guy I haven't seen before. Well, I could currently see the back of him. He had blonde hair and he was wearing a green shirt and black jeans. I slowly walked over and sit in one of the armchairs.

Harry finally noticed me and the guy turned around. When I see his chocolate brown eyes, memories I've tried to block come flooding back to me. Harry introduced to me to him. "Amber, this is Paul's cousin, Connor Sherwood. He was an intern before we were sucked into this whole mess." Harry smiled.

I locked eyes with Connor remembering the whole mess of memories that come when I see his blonde hair and brown eyes. "Yeah." I said coldly. "I know. But he never mentioned he was Paul's cousin."
I stood up, spun around and ran into the room I'm staying in, startling the boys in the kitchen and waking up Niall on the way.
