Chapter 15

2 Weeks later....

VIC'S POV

I don't know how long it's been since Hayley's death, I lost track of time after the second week of the apocalypse, but I think it's been at least a week or two. The whole groups been down, no ones said much. We've walked miles and miles, stopped at a few gas stations for the night, collected supplies and left. It's a routine now. We haven't had the luck of finding a car or any type of transport yet.

We're walking in silence again. The sun is too hot, but everyones scared to say something. I don't know why. It just doesn't feel right. I kept a close eye on my brother at all times now, making sure he was okay and wasn't doing anything stupid.

I think to be honest, we were all in shock mode. We knew at least someone would die on the way, but it still came as a shock. 

I was walking next to Mike and Kellin. I grabbed Mikes hand and squeezed it as I saw his eyes fill up with tears for the fifth time today. He gave me a sad smile. 

'She told me not to be upset, but its harder said than done.' He whispered. I was kinda surprised. I'm pretty sure he hadn't said anything since she died. Well...to me anyway. Him and Tony were pretty close at the moment. It was nice of Tony. He always knew how to make people smile, especially my brother. He was there for him a lot, and I couldn't thank him enough.

I looked up at my brother. 'I know..' I whispered.

'I'm trying so hard.' He whined, a tear sliding down his face. I gripped his hand tighter.

'It's okay to be sad. We all fall down sometimes, and maybe we don't get up straight away. But that's okay. She told you not to be sad, but if she was in your shoes, she would be sad too right? It's okay to be sad, being sad is an emotion, which can't be helped. I'd rather you were sad than pretended you were happy and plastered a fake smile over your face every day and suffered in silence with everyone thinking you were coping well. Just know that i'm always here for you, I know you'll get through this soon. You're strong. Just take your time, find things that make you happy, even if they're small. Okay?' I said. I kinda shocked myself with what I just said. It was strange hearing that from myself. Maybe I was getting better.

'You and Tony make me happy.' He whispered with a small smile. 

I smiled to my brother. 'There we are then.' 

We went over to the shade to sit down. Gabe told us he'd run ahead to see if anything was near. I swear that guy never gets worn out.

I rested my head on Kellin's lap. I looked over to Tony and Mike who were sitting next to each other again. Mike had a small smile on his face. Wait....did he just? He just laughed! I haven't seen him laugh in ages. I felt my heart flutter as I saw my brother slowly getting back to how he was.

'It's nice to see your brother smiling again.' Kellin said.

 'I ship it.' He said with a mischievous smirk on his face.

I frowned, 'Ship what?' I asked, confused.

He smiled broadly. 'Mike and Tony.'

I chuckled slightly and shook my head. 'He's not even gay.' I laughed

Kellin's eyes widened and he nodded towards my brother.

'Are you sure about that..?' 

I turned around to see Tony leaning in, looking down and Mikes lips.

'I don't know.....' I whispered.

Tony kissed Mike softly, and to my surprise he kissed back.

I was so confused. I didn't know my brother was gay.. He was going out with Hayley...

Mike pulled away quickly, making Tony's cheeks go a light shade of Pink.

Tony looked away, slightly embarrassed. 'S-sorry.. I- I just, I just h-had to tell you..o-or show you that I r-really liked you..' He stuttered.

Mike looked sad. 

'I-it's just too soon after Hayley..' He whispered.

Tony nodded. 'I understand, I really do..but if I die today, which could happen anyway to be honest, I wanted to die knowing that you knew I have feelings for you, life's too short to miss out.' He said.

I could see the clogs turning in Mikes head.

'You have a point.' He whispered and leant in, kissing him once more.

I smirked. 

'Perrentes.' Kellin said.

I looked at him, still smirking. 'Ship name?' I asked Kellin, who nodded.

'It's pretty good.' I laughed.

'I think I ship them too.' I whispered, my smile going wider by the second.

'Oh no, I don't ship them. I luxury cruise this shit.' Kellin laughed.

I laughed loudly, and let out a massive snort. Oops...

Kellin just laughed harder, clutching his sides. 

I haven't laughed this much in ages.

I looked over to Mike who had finally finished sucking Tonys face off.

I got up and walked over, plonking myself down next to them. 

'Soooooo....' I said, still laughing slightly.

Mikes face went slightly red.

'I-it just happened.' He whispered. I smiled and nudged his side. 

'Didn't know you placed for my team if ya know what I mean.' I laughed. Mike smiled and shook his head. 'Neither did I to be honest.'

I turned around to see Gabe running back, a massive smile on his face.

'I've just seen the best thing ever!' He exclaimed.

'Ha, better then Perrentes?' I asked, letting out a small giggle. I looked over to Kellin who was cackling, in  a kinda creepy sinister way actually..

'What?!' Mike and Tony said in unison.

'Nothing, carry On Gabe.' I smirked.

Gabe, looking confused as hell, carried on nevertheless.

'Okay, so..I've found a gas station a-'

'Woo!' I said, cutting him off. I don't know why I said it, I was just in one of those annoying moods.

He frowned at me and carried on.

'So, Not only have I found a gas station...Ithasacampervaninittoo!' He said, excitedly.

'Woah, I didn't hear a word of that.' Kellin said.

'Okay....The gas station....has.a.camper.van ANDITSFULLONGAS!' He yelled happily.

'A camper van!' I practically screamed.

'Full on gas?!' Jaime yelled.

Gabe nodded frantically and motioned for us to follow him.

Finally, I had one thing I hadn't had in a while...

Hope..
