Apocalyptic Love

Chapter 7: The Connection

Haven

It's 4 a.m. and I'm still not asleep. What the fuck body like why won't you let me rest?!?! -sigh- might as well read some fan fiction until I get tired.....

Ugh! Why is it so quiet? why is everyone asleep? Someone entertain me! Just as I think that I hear the sound of the kitchen door opening. I know Alise's house pretty well since I've been here plenty of times in the past so it's pretty easy for me to navigate around without much light. I just barely get past the kitchen until i smash my foot against the table.

"Fuck me!" I whisper-yell, hoping the guys asleep in the living room didn't hear me.

I slowly creep the rest of the way out from the kitchen door and quietly close it.

"What are you doing out here?" A voice calls from behind me and I practically died on the spot.

"My heart just about fell out of my ass! You don't just scare people like that, damn. You could have killed me you know. I'm a very sensitive, fragile, and innocent creature." I say with my hand held over my chest.

"I'm sorry for scaring you oh fragile innocent creature." He laughed.

"You forgot sensitive." I pointed out.

"You're right. I can't forget sensitive. Your name is Haven right? I'm Collin. I don't think we were properly introduced." He smiled and held out his hand for me to shake and I took it.

"Haven obviously." I laughed nervously. He is seriously hot and I'm freaking out right now because he just took my hand and kissed it. Oh. My. God.

"Nice to meet you. So what are you doing out here?" He grinned. I swear he's only smiling like that because he can hear my heart pounding. Like bitch could it beat any louder?!?1

"I heard the door open and I was bored and awake so I figured 'let's go see who's awake' and I found you." I shrugged.

"Yeah. You found me." He said while staring intently at me.

"...um...are you okay? You're giving me this weird look." I laughed.

"I'm fine. I was just admiring your eyes. they're beautiful. Kinda like you." His stare was so serious and sincere but I couldn't help but to laugh.

"What's funny?"

"Do you say that to all the girls you meet?" I smirked.

"Nah. Only the non-zombified ones." He laughed.

Alise

I creep out from the dining room slowly and crack the kitchen door. I slightly place my ear against the door and listen at my best friend and Collin laughing together. I smirk and continue to listen to their conversation. 

"So tell me about yourself." Collin says to her. I hear some foot steps and the creak of the truck. I assume that they moved to go sit in the bed of the truck.

"uhh....I'm a potato?" Haven laughs. "What do you want to know?"

"Favorite color? Birthday? Favorite genre of music? Just the basics." Collin says. 

I leave them to talk and get to know each other. Hopefully they start dating. OOOOOO I'D BE SO HAPPY! 

I go back into my room and lay in my bed next to Kyle and just close my eyes. Maybe 20 or 30 minutes later I hear the door open and Haven quietly creeps in, grabs something and hurries back out the door.

Haven

*The next morning*

Who. The fuck. Is shaking me?  If its before 12 o'clock someone is dying.

"Haven." I hear Collin's voice whisper-yell.

"HAVEN WAKE UP.!" My eyes fly open to question why in the hell he's waking me up but before I even speak a word I see why. The entire bed of the truck was surrounded by zombies.

Just about 8 of them shoving each other and grabbing for us, completely shaking the entire truck. Collin holds me close to himself as we stared at the chaos around us. Holy shit.
