Zombie Apocalypse/Mashton

part three

Ashton's pov

It's now the next morning, I've been up for hours now. Bored senseless out of my mind until eventually Michael woke up, he  sat up and rubbed his eyes "morning" I said as I spoke up "morning Ash" "sleep good?" "yeah, got a little chilly though. did you?" I shrugged "yeah it was okay" "would have been better in my own bed" "I guess..but better than nothing" "that is true, it was cosy and all I guess" "oH" was all I said, being my awkward self "well I better see if it's clear outside" "be careful" I said with worried eyes "I will be, don't worry" he said with a reassuring smile and peaked himself outside and looked around "yeah we're good, I got the bat" "then lets go" "shall we leave the stuff here?" he asked, I gave yet again another shrug, not really used to all this talking "I dunno, I guess" "we won't be that long, we're gonna have to walk across the mountains back home to stay safe" "so, can we go now?" "I suppose so" he said with his head still sticking out of the tent which resulted in his butt in my face, I must admit, I wasn't complaining.

Michael climbed out of the tent and I followed "remember we need to eat, I've got some fruit which we can have for breakfast" he said as he put his coat on "I'd rather go find my mum right now" "Ashton you haven't eaten in a day, can you at least eat an apple while we're walking across the mountain" I sighed "fine." "trust me bruh, you need food for energy and health in this situation" "bruh?" I asked confused "yeah. B...ruhhhh!" "I'm not a bruh" "I call everyone bruh, don't worry" "um..okay" I said still confused "why are you so insecure about everything?"  "what? I'm not?" "you just seem like.." he sighed before continuing "nah forget it" "no no, tell me. I seem like what?" "just..kinda awkward around me when you don't need to be." "I've always been like that" I said in a defensive tone "you can come out of your shell around me, I just want you to know that" "I know..it's just hard..I guess" "I'm here for you though, around me you can just be you" he said and walked along the mountain" I watched his with admire before following and walking beside him. He spoke up after a minute or so "are you..intimidated by me?" I looked at him shocked by his question "what? no. Don't be silly" he said nothing but a sigh, not seeming to believe me.

A few hours later of walking in complete silence we had finally made it too our little area "damn, we're lucky that we live outside the town" "yup" "We'll go to your place first, it's nearer" no response from me as usual and I just walked to my house with Michael by my side. My stomach was churning and the horrible thought that she wouldn't be there.

It hasn't been much longer before we had reached my house and me rushing inside with Michael close behind and was the first to speak up about the mess and by mess I mean blood dripping off the walls and trickling on the floor, everything had seemed to be smashed and the atmosphere was so tense you could here a pin drop, heck it was enough to make me hear my own rapid heartbeat "shit..what happened here?" "what the fuck.." was all I could say with my eyes almost bursting out it's sockets "Jesus Christ..I've never seen anything like this before" was the last thing I heard before running upstairs and looking in all of the rooms "mum?!" I kept shouting over and over, hoping and praying to god she was here. But I couldn't find her, I looked in all the rooms downstairs and still no luck. Which made my heart sinking and fear rushing through my blood.

Footsteps were heard from behind me but too heavy to  be my mother's "Ash are you okay?" "s-she's not here Michael!" I said not even bothered to turn and face him "she's what??" "she's not here!" "oH god no, have you checked everywhere?" "of course I have Michael!" "holy shit.." Michael said shocked and ran his fingers through his thin hair "s-she's gone..s-she's fucking gone" I said with tears brimming in my eyes but too shocked for them to fall "my god no, she can't be dead because she is a strong women. Maybe she just left and went to a safe den?" "she doesn't know a thing about stuff like this, if she did she would leave a note or something" I mumbled, my gaze on the floor "Jesus Christ...Ashton I'm so sorry.." "can we just go to yours now?" I whispered and felt my body being embraced with Michael's arms "I'm sorry buddy, If my parents are okay you can live with me" don't get me wrong, it's a sweet gesture but it's the last thing I wanted to hear, I hugged back tightly, just wanting my mum to be okay "it's going to be okay." however much I wanted to believe that my mind set wouldn't let me "she's gone, wherever she is, she's gone, it's not okay" "you don't know if she is 100% dead, you still have me. Cmon lets go" still not believing him yet I nodded and left the house with Michael close by my side.
