Young and Beautiful Demons

Chapter 6

Liz's POV

After a few weeks of wondering around endlessly we found a pretty safe place. It was a medium size cabin that was built in front of a beautiful lake. It seems so peaceful at times, then I remember that we are in the middle of the fucking zombie apocalypse. We often fished in the lake. It was kinda awkward when we ran in to each other.

I walked over to the stump where we cut fire wood. Today was my turn.

"Hey" I hear a familiar voice behind me.

"What do you want?" I ask throwing the ax down.

"Just to say hi." Nick says softly.

"Well you know, you could have said that like, I don't know, 2 weeks ago?" I spit.

"You know how it's been, boys against girls." he says nervously.

"Yeah trust me I know." I sigh.

"Look, Liz, I'm sorry." He says after a long pause.

"Don't be, it wasn't your fault, its Ray's and Skylar's." I sit down on the log.

"I think we need to lock them in a room and have them either make up or beat the shit out of each other." He jokes, but I could tell that he was half serious.

"Maybe that is the best option. Or we could just shoot them both in the fucking head" I mumble.

"Yeah." He runs his fingers through his hair.

There's a long awkward silence. After about five minutes of just sitting there I stand up and walk over to Ray.

"What the fuck is wrong with you and Skylar? You two are best friends, or were. You had one stupid fight over Alyssa for gods sakes, and now you hate each other?" I say once I get over to him. He turns around with a shocked expression on his face. I bet he wasn't expecting me to bitch him out.

"What am I suppose to go do?" He spits out at me.

"Um, fucking apologize?" I state. I was tired of us being so torn apart.

"Fine." He sighs.

"Wait, what?" I wasn't expecting him to agree with me.

"I'll go apologize. I'm kind of sick of all of this fighting too." He gets up.

"Oh, Okay." I laugh nervously.

~Later that day~

"Dinner time!" I yell. It wasn't much, being as we are running out of canned food. I set the table with some plates and forks that was left in the cupboards. I place down the bowl of peaches and the plate of fish. I sigh. I hated eating fish every night.

I hear foot steps behind me and collapse on the ground under the weight of Alyssa jumping on my back.

"It smells like fish." She cringes. She hates fish too. She brushes her brown hair out of her face.

"No shit? That's what we have been having for the last couple of weeks." Nick says. After Ray apologized to everyone, we clicked back together.

"Shut up Idiot." She laughs.

Everyone sits down at the table, everyone except for-

"Where's Justin?" Skylar interrupts my thoughts.

"I'm coming!" We hear from down the hallways. Justin comes running down the hallway and slips on the rug and falls on his ass. We burst out in laughter.

"That was the funniest shit I've seen all fucking month!" Ray laughs.

Justin comes and sits at the table. We all eat and talk.
