Zombie Buddies (Nash Grier and Cameron Dallas)

chapter 16

Heather's POV

Nash and I were caught in a thunderstorm but I insisted we keep going. eventually those things were on either side of us. We hopped into an open car and sat there in awkward silence.

"Why do you care so much if Cameron is out here?" he asked me.

"Cuz he is my best friend! Im surprised you're being this resistant." I sighed.

"maybe Im just scared." he mumbled.

"Of what?" I asked.

"Of losing you to him. he is better looking and funnier and smarter." he said quietly. I touched his arm.

"none of that is true, you wont lose me as long as you aren't an ass anymore," I told him seriously.

"I dont want to ever lose you....I think I may love you too, and Im scared of that as well. Love ruins so many people, I dont want it to ruin us."

"it wont if we dont let it," I tried smiling. He smiled weakly then kissed me, and in that moment everything seemed alright. Like my family wasn't broken, like my scars weren't ever there, like Cameron was safe, and like the world wasn't over run by the living dead. but that one short kiss still couldn't change the fact of reality. He laid his head on my chest and fell asleep. I held him there while the dead walked outside the car. I sighed and closed my eyes too.
