Twenty one Days Later

The beginning (Jamie/Jay)

Jamie's P.O.V

"Jamie! You're late for work again!" I hear Alex call from down stairs but it doesn't fully register because I'm still half asleep.

"What was that?!" I reply getting up and walking to the top of the stairs. She sighs and walks to the bottom of the stairs. "I said, YOU ARE late for work, again." she says rolling her eyes.

"Shit! Not again!" I yell bolting back to my room to pull on my clothes and grab my phone and keys. "Jay, I need to get to work, I'll talk to you later!" She calls as I hear her try not to laugh when I fall over my own feet. Jumping back up I run into the bathroom mid speach. "Yeah, alright, You better bring your boyfriend back tonight! I still haven't met him!" I run the tap and shove my head under the water as I hear Alex murmur something and giggle after the thought passes before I hear the front door slam shut. Shoving my tooth brush into my mouth I pull my phone out to look at the time.  Shit! Five minutes until I need to get the train!

I pull on my shirt and spit out the last of the toothpaste before running down the stairs. I open the front door and as I'm running I nearly trip on the stairs of the apartment building as I sprint towards the subway station praying, that for once, the subway was a little late.

I grab the green 235 to the centre of the city running out of the underground to begin the long trudge to the main office to find Michael, my superior. 

15 minute time skip brought to you, once again, by my laziness XD

"Jamie! Where the hell have you been!" I hear Michael's voice echo across the office.

"Sorry, sir I had to help my sister with her car, it broke down." I say lying God what Alex wouldn't do for a car of her own, I think about the time when she was told she could have one if she actually became a paramedic. Everyone back in Los Angeles doubted her, everyone except me. We moved to London so we could both train having found a small apartment on a road named Prince street. We go out to visit mum and dad in a couple of days, Oh shit no we don't! It's tomorrow!

"I thought your sister didn't have a car." Michael says. Oh shit!  "Yeah she didn't but she saved up and got one." I say sweat starting to run down my palms as I swipe them on my trousers. "If you say so, rookie" Jeez the people here think that just because I'm new to the job it means I'm fucking stupid!

"Okay, today you'll be working with nitric acid so go and gear up."
(Okay I probably should have made this clearer at the start but anyway I'm telling you now, Jamie is a chemical engineer well trainee but shush)
"Okay sure thing, sir." I say turning on my heels glad to get rid of him, yet I still feel his gaze lingering on me as I walk. Shrugging it off as I walk I get my gear to protect my face and hands before I head into the main factory, pulling the goggles over my eyes as I begin to look for Adam the guy who specialises in nitric acid.

"Jamie!" I hear Adam's voice call to my left, I turn my head to see him waving me to join him. I hesitantly walk towards him knowing that the nitric acid department is to the right of the structure.

"Hey, w-we need to go..." Adam wheezes like he's just run a marathon.

"What?" I question "I only just got-" He cuts my sentence short when he starts coughing and gives me the rest off the information he tried to give before his coughing fit. "The tanks in the lower factory exploded... The alarms didn't go off for some reason though, I was down there when it happened and inhaled some of the acid that went flying all over the room... I can't... breathe" He collapses at my feet. "Oi, Adam, dude get the hell up!" I yell grabbing his shoulders and shaking them vigorously. He begins to foam at the mouth, I drop him out of fear... Right before he looks back up at me, his skin turning an unhealthy green colour and his irises turning a light green colour too.

I turn and begin to run ripping the mask and gloves off as I run for the stairs, what was once upon a time Adam lets out an inhumane growl and sprints towards me, gnashing its jaw as it runs. I grab the banister and swing my legs and the rest of my body over it, grabbing a screw driver off the desk at the top as a hand grabs my shoulder. I swing at 'Adam' and stab it in the stomach, causing blood to spray all over me but the thing doesn't even seem to notice. I yank the screw driver out and re-aim for the head, this time when the screw driver penetrates the skull it causes the eyes to roll to the back of the head, it stops moving entirely. I drop the screw driver out of fear and flee to the next flight of stairs that will take me home, I certainly won't be coming back here tomorrow. I'll pack my things and Alex and I will fly out to meet our parents, I think she said her new boyfriend was coming with us. I never though I'd think this and I'll never say it aloud but I'm actually glad he's coming. 

I crash through the doors of the main office covered in blood, the place is completely abandoned. I walk silently along the desecrated corridors, the company had never properly taken care of the building. I shove my key in to the lock of my locker and strip out of my shirt and grab my hoodie out and wrap it around my shoulders. I head back the way I came, my breathing now calm.

I exit the building and walk towards the underground. I grab the first subway that pulls up to my platform, completely oblivious to my surroundings, I get off at my stop and leave the place subconsciously walking towards our apartment. When I get there I see a man, about Alex's age, standing at our front door dressed in a police officers uniform.

"C-can I help you?" I ask speaking for the first time since the event.

"Are you Jamie Link?" He asks smiling at me.

"Y-yes, W-who are you?" I ask now unsure. Have I done something wrong recently?

"Mr. Link I'm Alex's boyfriend, Andy Quill. I'm looking for Alex, when does she get back from work?" Andy asks his smile dropping when he sees my fear stricken eyes. "Are you alright, Jamie?" He asks, I shake my head and nod. "Yes, yes I'm fine just had a long day is all, um Alex should be home by about midday." I reply smiling at him. "Do you want to come in?" I ask opening the front door and stepping inside. "Yes please." He says stepping inside and taking off his shoes. We walk towards the living room and sit down and start talking as minutes turn to hours.

Four hour time skip, sponsored by laziness XD

Alex crashes though the door sobbing making me and Andy jump to our feet. "Alex!" we call in unison and sprint up the stairs, at the top I see Alex has fallen into Andy's arms and is now sobbing. I join the hug and let her sob for a while.

"Alex what's wrong?" asks Andy stroking her hair. "R-Ronnie t-tried to r-r-rape me!" She sobs out nuzzling her head into Andy's shoulder.
