Escaping The Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter Twenty

(Logan's Point Of View)

Dylan and I haven't spoken since our intense conversation about Grady. The others got back just under an hour after Dylan had fallen asleep.

While she, Howie and Milo slept the rest of us started packing up our cars, until we had all the gear we needed packed.

----------

I walk to Howie and Carter's room, and knock quietly.

"She's having a shower." The quirky voice of Howie and the shock of him being there scared the shit out of me.

I turn in the direction of his voice only to see him sitting on the floor leaning against the wall smiling brightly up at me, how can someone that small in a world like this be that happy?

"Oh, thanks kid." I say before walking in. "Carter?" 

She walks around the corner with a fluffy white towel wrapped around her and her annoying blonde hair, and her in her underwear. "Logan what are you doing I'm naked..." She says annoyed.

"Okay, one your half naked, two we are siblings whom have grown up together, three yuck, four I was seeing how you were doing and I wanted to ask you something and fiv-" I stop mid-sentence when I see a small butterfly on her left shoulder. "What the Fuck is that?" I point to it as I move closer to her. 

She looks down at what I'm pointing at confused at first and then her facial expression changes within seconds replacing it with annoyance once again. "It's a tattoo, obviously. I always knew you were kind of an idiot but I thought you were smarter than that..." She says in a condescending voice.

"Yes, Carter I know what a fucking tattoo is the question is why do you have it?" I say almost yelling, what's with everyone trying to piss me off.

"Well I got it a year ago, I was a little drunk, it's no big deal." She says rolling her eyes before she starts walking away.

"Um, one it's a massive deal, two how? You're under aged and three how come I didn't know about this?" 

"Well, one It's really not, two fake Id and three isn't it obvious, you're a snitch." She says counting her points on her fingers, I look at her with confusion, before she sighs and continues. "Logan I didn't tell you because one, I knew you would act like this, you would freak out and you would've told mum and dad. And they would've gotten mad at me and you would be judging me like right now because you're Logan and you could do nothing wrong." She yells before stomping into the bathroom and slams the door.

(Milo's Point Of View)

We once again say goodbye to the house we have slept in for the past couple days, this feeling of lose always comes back when we pack up and leave again. Having to say goodbye to this town and onto the next with full knowledge of never coming back. Every time we leave it just reminds me that I may die before ever coming back or ever seeing more of the world.

Logan and I have decided to try and teach some of the others to drive so it's not just us who are driving considering we need at least two cars and if anything happens to us we would have to leave a car behind and all the gear in it, so it would be better off, if we have some others who can kind of drive.

Teddy, Indigo, Charlie and I jump into the ford, with Teddy and I in front. In this car he was the only one who had any experience with a car, because Charlie is like 15 well only just and Indigo well, she's like a twelve year old, she has no real life experience. Teddy is it.

(Logan's Point Of View)

Carter starts up the car and bravely drives down the road acting like she isn't terrified, Dylan's sitting in the back making sure Howie doesn't make any loud sounds just to make sure Carter doesn't get spooked.

After about half an hour Carter finally starts to calm down and she seems to be getting better at it so I take this as my chance to glance back at Dylan, and as I stare at her face staring out the window, I start to wonder what she could be thinking about.

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

(Dylan's Point Of View)

Have you ever stared at something for so long only to be hoping that what you're staring at is just your imagination and everything around you is fake and you are really in an insane asylum or even dead and thinking about what it's like or something? I don't know I just feel like crying again, what is wrong with me I stopped crying a year after Grady died I promised myself I would be brave for him but I guess I am failing everyone, because how can I be brave if I can't even stop crying? How can I survive if I can barely speak without thinking of everyone whose dead, how shitty is that all these people are dead and unrightfully so and I'm here complaining about me being alive when I should be embracing it but then again how can I embrace something I don't even understand?

How can I still be alive?

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

(Carter's Point Of View)

How can brothers be so stupid and still expect that sisters will respect them, when they treat you like shit and then go back and say you should respect me because I am older and more mature... Bull-crap! It's all fucking Bull-crap.

Like look at peter pan and he never wanted to grow up and he wanted everyone to respect that but refused the idea of growing up therefor he was left by Wendy and everyone else. That just proves you can't always put your pride first, sometimes you have to put someone first and of course why would Logan put me first, his little sister, his only family left...
