Apocalypse Within The System [OM&M, AA, BMTH, PTV]

Eleven

I almost forgot how to spell eleven.

Blake's POV

I yawned as I woke up the next morning. The bed was cold and empty beside me, which made me frown slightly. Mike never got out of bed until he woke me up first. ...That was just another stupid thought of mine.

I heard a knocking on the window and my eyes widened as I saw all of the boys standing outside.

"Blake, you need to get out of there! Open the window!" Alan whisper-yelled as he pulled the screen out from the outside.

I opened the window, still looking completely confused. "What's wrong?" I asked as I began crawling out the window. I felt Alan's hand go on my ass as he helped me get outside. I shivered from the contact.

"Dumbass over here left the door open and the house is becoming infested," Oli said, motioning towards Ben before all of us ran to the car.

Once we were all safe in the car and Oli pulled out of the driveway, we could all finally stop holding our breaths.

"So... you were a bit protective over Blake back there," Ben said from the front seat. Somehow in the mess of us all running to the car, I ended up sitting with Alan in the backseat.

I blushed as I glanced at Alan before looking out the window. It was wrong for me to feel anything towards him. He was a coward. A disgusting excuse for a human being.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Alan mumbled.

"I call bullshit on that excuse!" Ben teased.

"You sure you're not just framing me to hide your feelings for her?" Alan countered. That was probably the most horrible comeback I've ever heard in my entire life.

"Hey, we all know she's fuckin' hot and if she wasn't so broken we would all bang her but your feelings for her are clear. Why do you act like you hate her all the time? Because you like her," Ben explained, causing Oli to chuckle.

I felt kind of uncomfortable knowing that there were a hole bunch of boys in the car that wanted to have sex with me, so I brought my knees up to my chest and leaned on the window.

"I act like I hate her because I hate her," Alan murmured.

"Yeah, ok. I'll believe that never."

The car became silent, but Alan's anger and embarrassment were clear. The anger was clearly radiating off of his body and I've never felt more attracted to him than I did at that very moment. It was stupid, I know, but goddammit he was something else.

"So, other than Alan being on his period, how is everyone else?" Oli asked, turning onto another unfamiliar road.

"Where are we going, Oli?" I asked in a silent voice.

"I've got no fucking clue."

I slowly nodded. "That's uh... nice?"

"I'm hoping we'll just drive for a really long time and then suddenly find a nice house in the middle of nowhere," Oli explained. And that was really the best logic anyone could come up with in this stupid apocalypse.

We all got out of the car to take a breather and stretch out our legs a bit. We weren't in the car for a very long time, but it still felt like forever.

"I hate living like this," Oli murmured as he lied across a picnic table we found.

"I feel you. This is like living in hell, taking a way the whole Satan bit," Ben replied, laying down beside him.

"I need to talk to you," Alan murmured through clenched teeth. He pulled me away so that we were out of an earshot from Oli and Ben.

"What's your problem, Alan?" I shot.

"You! Blake, you are my problem." He groaned in frustration. "I can't believe... it's not supposed to be this way!"

"Alan, what are you-"

Suddenly, Alan's lips pressed against mine. My eyes widened and I attempted to pull away but he pushed me against a tree, freezing me in our position.

I missed the feeling of someone's lips on mine. Plus, Alan's lips were so soft and...

Alan pulled away, taking heavy breaths. "Goddammit," he muttered.

My head felt heavy, and my heart felt more broken than ever before. I wasn't sure why I felt so broken. Maybe it was because I missed Mike and then I did this, or maybe it was because I was starting to love Alan...

"Never speak of this again," he murmured before making his way back over to the boys.

When we were back in the car, Alan was completely silent, and so was I. I was afraid that if I spoke I would say something wrong.

"I think our prayers have just been answered," Ben said as we approached some sort of log cabin.

"Holy shit, there's a car!" I yelled, getting a sudden burst of excitement. It didn't mean that there were people there, but it was an extreme possibility.

"Let's explore!" Oli enthused, stopping the car in the driveway.

We all got out of the car and started walking towards the house. I started to get extremely nervous. What if there were a whole bunch of hillbillies living here that wanted to eat us? What if-

"Matt?!" Oli yelled as the door swung open.

"Ben?!" Someone else yelled as a few people ran out of the house.

What the hell is going on?
