Escaping The Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter Eighteen

(Indigo's Point Of View)

Breakfast was insanely awkward, Howie, Charlie, Teddy and Milo knew nothing of Dylan and Logan's thing this morning which Carter and I clearly heard because the kitchen is right under the room they slept in and you can hear right though it was like the floor was made of sheet.

When Logan came down he was silence and still hasn't said a single word all day, Milo noticed something was up between Logan and Dylan but he didn't mention it, he just took charge.

"Okay Yesterday Logan and I thought it would be a good idea to go traveling through the woods to try and find an alone cabin we can stay in but we will need supplies so Carter, Indigo, Teddy, Charlie and I are going to go out into the town the find some shops and find some camping gear we might need and other stuff like that including food. Dylan, Logan and Howie will search this house and see if there is any medicine or anything like that which we might need. Okay?" Milo says and pretty much everyone nods in agreement and you can just tell Milo's up to something leaving Logan and Dylan behind.

--------------------

(Logan's Point Of View)

As they leave out the front door and leave us alone with Howie searching upstairs and Dylan and I down stairs.

I start watching her, hoping she won't notice, every time she looks up I look away but when I look back I can see a sliver of annoyance in the back of her eyes.

"OKAY, What are you staring at?" She asks with anger fuming in her eyes, and I can tell she's just snapped. "YOU have been watching me this whole time and I've had enough. First you won't let me go and now you can't keep your eyes off me you know how creepy that is. Plus if you haven't noticed it's the fucking Zombie Apocalypse, there is no room for creeps anymore." She screams finally taking a deep breath.

"Well I'm sorry that I can't keep my eyes off you, and for some reason you help me sleep, and of course I know it's the Apocalypse why do you think I can't sleep and also it's not my fault I fucking love you." I yell back, before realizing what has just slipped out.

'Shit what the fuck did I just say.' I think almost saying out loud straight after saying the words I promised I wouldn't say out loud.

As I look up to meet her eyes all she seems to be doing is staring back at me, and just as I'm about to say something she bolts. Running straight up stairs.

(Dylan's Point Of View)

How can he say that to me, especially now. I have been pining after him for so many years to finally accepting this new world has no room for love and he wouldn't love me anyway, but now after about five years he finally takes an interest in me. Well Fuck Him.

After I slam the door I slid down it and sit on amazingly cold floor and just try to forget for a moment where I am and wish I could talk to Jayden about this.

(Carter's Point Of View)

We split into two very small groups, Teddy, Charlie and Indigo go off in the opposite direction of Milo and I, in search of supplies.

"So what do you think's going on with Dylan and Logan?" Milo asks out of nowhere.

"Hmm, maybe they had an awkward moment this morning and Logan is thinking he has feelings for Dylan. But that's just a theory." I say trying to fill him in without making it too obvious, I was in the car when Logan figured out he was in love with her, everyone thought I was asleep but I was just waking up when they started to talk about that and I know Logan wouldn't admit it to me. I have a few secrets that Logan doesn't know about and if he did he would kill me.

-----------------

(Dylan's Point Of View)

Sitting with Howie in complete shock at how amazing he is at 'Spit' the card game. Howie walked in on me after a little while, with me sitting in a ball of me self-loathing, and he could just tell something was off. So he just sat down and started dealing out the cards for 'Spit', I was quit shocked at how great he is at it and he's like what 5 and he is probably a lot smarter than a lot of kids twice his age, because somehow he's still alive while we keep passing dead kids.

At first I think it's probably a bad idea to leave an angry Logan to do all the work but fuck him, I need time to process everything, because as of late I have only just started letting my emotions seep back in and out. Everything is just washing over me giving me random flushes of emotion, from the sadness of Jayden's death to actually having fun with Howie.

Howie has pretty much won every single game we've played and I am refusing to lose to so I will keep playing until I bet him fair and square (without cheating like before...) which I'm happy he's up for playing a couple more rounds and he still hasn't had enough of me, I'll tell you something this kid is really growing on me.

(Logan's Point Of View)

After about five hours give or take one by one the others slowly arrive, I have already gotten everything I could find out and left it all in the living room ready to be packed into our cars, it was the only thing I could do to distract myself from thinking about Dylan and how she clearly rejected me. And I just can't help thinking how stupid it is of me to actually have feelings for someone when I should be trying to keep Carter and myself alive which is hard enough I don't need anyone else to have to keep alive but then again, how can I stop these feelings?
