Bite me

"Can we please stop?" Zayo mumbled and held her feet to her. We had been driving for a few hours now and hadn't bothered to stop once.

If I was being honest, my stomach was feeling sick and I really had to freaking pee. 

"Yeah I'll take this exit right here..." I mumbled softly and glanced at the rusty sign saying "EXIT TO TENNESSEE"

"Have we really been driving for that long?" Zayo growls under her breath. I shrugged, I guess we had been in the car for a while now. As I took the exit something smashed under our tires making a sickening sound. My stomach already queasy with hunger didn't take lightly to it. Zayo groaned and mumbled a bit.

I didn't catch all of it but what I did hear was, "gonna be...sick." so I quickly stopped the car to the side and let her walk off to puke.

While I was hoping she would go further, she stayed near the car and everything she had came out. Clearly she hadn't eaten a while and my heart ached. She neglected her body the entire time.

"Come on stinky, lets go find a place to freshen up." I said holding my nose as she came back into the car.

She blushed and punched me, it didn't hurt but I winced anyways. Honestly, I had it coming to me. I rubbed the area she punched and smirked, "you do that I'll leave you here with the mutants!" I called out attempting to look serious.

She gave me the biggest look of disgust and laughed. After a minute or so I joined in.

Within 10 minutes tears were rolling down my face as I held my stomach. I hadn't laughed like this in a really long time. I'm not sure we were laughing about the joke of me leaving here anymore.

I think we just needed it after how hectic our life has been.

I sighed and looked at her, she looked back and we smiled. Even though things have gone to shit we found each other and I was thankful.

Our laughter subsided slowly and I started the car again.

"I think an old stop is a mile away." I said rolling down the window.

"You sure?" She asked as she cleaned off our knives. I looked over and sighed in relief, thank God the idiot remembered to wear gloves!

I told her I remembered seeing a sign as we drove into Tennessee.

She nodded and looked out the window, waiting to spot it.

"There!!!" She screamed at me and sure enough, there it was.

I chuckled at her, sometimes she could act like a real kid. Her body figure only helped with that assumption. She always had a petite figure but was fairly tall.

She'd always get jealous of my figure. But it was nothing great, I had an average teenage body figure. Maybe a little more developed but just the same.

Her eyes were big and green, they reminded me of jewels sometimes. Her nose was small but her lips were big. I don't see how she had complained so much.

I shook my thoughts away and stopped behind the store.

"Locked and loaded?" I asked her as she grabbed her guns.

I grabbed a outsole and she cooked her gun and held it up.

"You know it." She said and posed like a bad ass.

It made us both laugh and I shook my head. "Hey if you see deodorant and/or a brush get it." She whispered as we quietly tiptoed to the back door.

I looked confused at her and she shrugged, "okay just cause the world's ending doesn't mean our hygiene has to!"

I snorted, only Zayo would insist on a thing like this.

I held my finger to my lips and then pointed.

I held the door handle and quietly turned it. Wsiting, nothing had came yet. So with a click I opened the rusty metal do and with a scream of resistance it opened.

I winced at the sound and frozen in place. My grip so hard on my knife that my knuckles were white.

I sighed and relaxed slightly, "All cle-" I began but was cut off when something attacked me from behind.

I not only smelled the stench but I felt it trying to tear at me and I looked at Zayo.

She aimed her gun, cocked it and as I screamed flipping the mutant over my back to my front she shot it in the face.

I gagged, now I had mutant blood all over my fucking jacket!

"You might has well shot me, I smell like shit..." I muttered as she walked past me into the convenient store.

She shrugged her shoulders still holding up her gun. I put my knives away and grabbed my pistol.

"Well now I gotta get cheap ass clothes and hopefully find something for my jacket." I yelled as she went through the door.

We were in the back, where all the crap people storaged? Yeah that's it.

She walked from behind the cash register first but I quickly followed.

It was fairly small, the place seemed to be trash even before the virus struck.

Still we went around the perimeter, her on the right, me on the left.

"All clear!" I called out but their was only silence.

My heart began to flutter and anxiously waited for her to respond.

All I got were 2 gunshots going off and and a scream.

Quickly I ran from the isles to the hall with the bathroom and held up my pistol.

What I expected to see was my best friend either dead or attacked.

What I got was a girl against her back with her gun held tightly at the ground.

A spider.
She wasted to bullets.
Scared me to death.
Because of a fucking spider.

She looks over and stands up straight, pushing herself off the wall.

"It's all clear on this side!" She said dusting herself off and smiling.

This Lil shit was proud that she shot the spider.

I shook my head, "Are you actually crazy? WHY DID YOU USE YOUR GUN?!" I cried out with my hands in the air.

She looked at me as if I should have known, "Cause I could have died." Zayo said passing me as if it was a matter of fact.

I threw my hands up and sighed giving up.

Of course, how did I never not know? Clearly, mutants are in every fucking corner trying to eat our asses but the fucking spider had it coming.

If she wasn't my best friend I'd probably shoot the girl. But she is and I love her.

Holding back a smile I shake my head and get out of the bathroom hallway to an Isle with the number 5 over it.

"Zayo!" I call out to her and she looks up from 2 isles over.

I toss her something and she looks down. She smiles and laughs, it's her favorite smelling deodorant.
