Trapped

Chapter 5

Violet POV

The first thing that hits me when I wake up is a shooting pain through my back. I open my eyes and take note of my surroundings before coming to the conclusion that I'm on the carpeted floor in my bedroom. For a second, I'm confused as to why I'm not in my bed. For just that one solitary moment in time I completely forget that my family, friends, and anyone I have ever known is disappeared.

As quickly as it came though, it vanished, and I'm smashed with reality which is loneliness. Except, I'm not entirely alone.

I sit up from the floor and quickly look over to my bed for Conner. I insisted last night that he could have the bed considering that it was my house and felt more awkward making him sleep on the floor. I was going to sleep in my parents bed but it was just too weird given the circumstances. Well that, and as soon as I saw their picture on their nightstand I practically lost it. I miss them too much already. Or maybe its not that I miss them already, but I'm scared for where they might be. 

Squinting through the bright new morning sun's rays, I notice that Conner is missing from the sheets. He was definitely there though, considering the blankets were un-made in a messy pile.

"Conner?" I yell from my spot on the floor. Moments later, he emerges from the hallway with a glass of water. I try not to look at his bare chest, and, like last night, I focus on his feet or eyes. Anything in between has off limits ever since he took off his shirt.

"uh-yeah, I was just thirsty." He said to me and plopped down on the edge of the bed, taking another sip. I nodded in response.

"Anyway, nice house you got here" He said while motioning towards the four walls of my bedroom.

Here's something I would have never thought would happen; Conner Smatt, the school's jr. high stay-back, sitting in my bed, without a shirt, complementing my home. Honestly what the hell is going on.

"Thanks, although its kind of creepy right now..." I respond, shuddering

"How so?"

"Its just kind of empty. I mean, I know that obviously you and I are in it right now but its just creepy knowing that there isn't anyone else, anywhere. " A shiver ran through me as I spoke the words from my mind.

"How do you think it was for me when you were still sleeping? It felt like I was the last man on earth or something." He said while placing his glass on my bedside table. I laughed at the irony of what he just said.

"Hey you know, you just might be." It wasn't honestly funny, in fact it was terrifying, but still it was ironic so I tried to lighten the mood.

I looked over to him and he was really trying to be annoyed at me but he finally gave in with a smirk,

"Nice effort Shoemaker"

It was around noon time now. Conner and I had just finished a breakfast which I had so perfectly made for us. He recommended just "eating something from another abandoned food joint" but I insisted on making the food myself. 

"So, whats the plan for today?" He asked while I put the plates in the dishwasher. Just because there are no parents doesn't mean we can start to make messes.

"Your guess is just as good as mine." I shrugged. How was I supposed to have any sort of plan? Im just as clueless as he is on this situation and its taking everything inside of me not to have a mental breakdown from it all. "Anyway, you are older then me, shouldn't you be the one taking charge?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow, walking over to the couches where he was sitting.

He gave me a smirk, "Oh, so you want me to take charge huh?" He finished with a wink at the end. I picked up a pillow and chucked it at him,

"I meant, you should be the one to come up with ideas not me." he laughed,
