Silent Majority (A Zombie Apocalypse Story) *book two of: Prodigy Suicide*

Chapter 30 - 6/8

I stare at Tristan in shock.

Jane was living here alive at least 24 hours ago. But is she living alone?

My question is answered when I hear the sound of a car pull up outside. Tristan and I both run over to the window to see a truck in park. But not just any truck.

Henry's truck.

"That bastard!" I yell. I begin to open the window to shoot at him but Tristan pulls me back.

"What are you doing Kendall?" He growls as he holds me back.

"He tried to kill me! He left me to die! Now I leave him to die!" I scream as I kick against Tristan. This is when I realise I've gone insane.

"Kendall! This is not you! Stop it!" Tristan argues back as he holds me down. I suddenly stop with my squirming, and realise who i am.

One thing after another, I am slowly going insane. From heart break, to invasion, to death, to CAIGE, and now to Henry. It's finally breaking out of me and I need to release this anger.

But this is not Kendall.

Kendall would not realise her anger like this. I would not hurt my friends or cause them suffering. Because right now I'm doing that to Tristan.

"Sorry." I say, as he lets go of me.

"It's fine." He says, but I can tell it's not.

In this moment, I feel really bad for Tristan. It only hit me now how unrespectful I've been to him and how much he's actually done for me.

I don't say anything, and just hug him. He gently wraps his arms around my waist as I hold him tightly. I rest my head on his chest and close my eyes as he places his head on top of mine.

I don't want to let go. He is someone so important to me and to think I was planning on leaving him this morning is ridiculous. I don't know what I've been doing lately. My hormones must be going mental or something but I'm not even on my period.

Tristan lets go of the hug and we brace ourselves as we realise we have to confront Henry now.

I hear his boots stomp into the lounge below and his voice roars out below.

"WHO IS IN HERE!" Tristan and I glance at each other, and then I realise that Oliver, Sean and Ruby are still downstairs.

I quickly tip toe out the room and stand at the top of the stairs. I peek my head around the corner and glance down to see Henry standing there with his gun firmly held in his hands.

I could shoot him now, or he could shoot me. Honestly if Tristan weren't here, Henry would be flat down dead on the ground.

"Upstairs." I speak, and his head zips up to me. He blasts his gun and I zips past my head and blasts the wooden wall.

"We have no harm intended!" Tristan yells out, and no more gunshots are heard.

"Come out then!" Henry yells, and Tristan steps out first. I watch Tristan stand there, staring at Henry. I'm still hiding behind the wall, cautious whether to step out or not.

"Your friend too." Henry growls. I feel my breath hitch as I realise this could be my final moments alive as Henry will most likely shoot me dead.

With a shaky breath, I step out and stare straight into Henry's eyes.

Usually, if I stare at someone if have pure sass and confidence displayed on my face. But for once, I actually look guilty and frightened. It feels weird to be on the opposite end.
