Zombie Apocalypse * h.s

Chapter Eight

[Niall's POV]

My shoulder hurts! I mentally complained as we walk down about 60 stairs. Paul opened a door and we walked into our new "home."

There was a living room in front of us, and a kitchen to the left. To the right of the kitchen there was an open door leading to a dark hallway. Our bags were in the right corner of the living room.

Paul les us to the hallway and flipped on a light. "The bathroom is the last door right ahead." He said, pointing, and then started assigning us rooms.

Harry and Louis got the first room on the left, then Liam, then Zayn. On the right, Amber got the first room, and I got the one next to her. I watch Paul go into the last room on the right before I step into my room and fall asleep quickly. I'm exhausted. 

[Third Person POV]

"I... I'm sorry Amber." Connor told her, and he stops breathing.

"Connor? Connor!" Amber screamed. But he was dead. There wasn't anything she could do.

Suddenly Amber was at the site of Alex's death again. There Alex was, standing in the middle of the street, paralyzed with fear. Amber screamed at her to move because the truck was getting closer and closer. "ALEX!" she screamed, but the truck was so close, then-

There was a bright flash, and suddenly Amber was in a hospital room. She looked over at the bed and saw her mother. She was hooked up to hundreds of tubes and IVs, looking just like she did right before she died.

Amber realized she was dying. She rushed over to her side. "Mom? Mom, please don't die! Don't leave me!" Amber begged. Slowly she placed her hand over Amber's, which was clutching the bed rail.

"Amber, I... I love you. Stay strong." She said slowly. Then her heart monitor flat lined, and doctors and nurses rush in. Someone shoved Amber aside, and another person dragged her out. "No! MOM! NO!" Amber screamed.

There was another bright flash, and now she's outside, near a mailbox. Amber heard someone scream, "Liam, look out!" It's Amber's voice.

Suddenly Liam is there, with a gun, shooting at the zombies. Then Amber's father fell to the ground, and Amber watched him take his last few, painful breaths.

"Wake up, Amber!!" A voice told Amber, and her eyes fly open as she sat up. It's Harry; he was the one who woke Amber up. Behind him, there was Louis, Liam and Niall. Niall's right arm was resting gently in his sling. "You were sobbing and screaming in your sleep." Harry said gently. "Do you want to talk about it?" Amber looked over at the three boys, and they all left without a word.

Amber looked up at Harry, and once he saw the tears in her eyes, he sat next to Amber on her bed. "What happened?" Harry asked, with genuine concern in his voice.

"C-Connor. Is he d-dead?" Amber asked, her voice shaky.

Harry sighed. "Yes, love. He's dead." Amber closed her eyes and tried not to cry, but it doesn't work. The tears start falling.

Harry pulled Amber into a hug. "It'll be okay." Harry told her, but she continued weeping. Amber said something, but Harry can barely hear it.

"W-why does everyone I l-love die?"

When Harry figures out what she said, it made his heart drop.

She still loved Connor? Harry wondered.
