Forever Dead (On Hold)

Chapter Forty Six

Alan's P.O.V

It was clear that I may not make it, the gun fire was nonstop and it was attracting unwanted attention for both of us, we were just caught in the cross fire, we didn't want to be anywhere in between this but unfortunately we had to be. I took a deep breath as I pulled myself over a wall into a small area surrounded by shops, there was two people led next to each other, asleep, by what looked like a burnt out fire. I stumbled forwards just a step and was relieved at what I saw but disheartened at the same time. Kat and Ed were asleep together. To be honest it was just a matter of time before they fessed up and admitted they liked each other, once again leaving me out of the picture. I should just get over it, we are history, there was never a chance for me. I continued to look at the sleeping couple whilst Ryan was oblivious to what was going on.

"What the fuck are you doing Alan?" His voice was hushed but there was aggression in his voice. I didn't bother looking round or answering, he would see what I was looking at instantly, it was luck there wasn't any blood stains on the ground otherwise we both would have gotten the wrong idea. He took a step closer and instantly saw the shape of the two sleeping figures side by side. "If you are staring at corpses that look like your friends then I won't hesitate to hit you regardless of if you're injured" However I wasn't staring at corpses, they were living, breathing people who were taking a quick nap.

Ryan didn't get the whole picture since we both heard the sound of a door opening and a girl around my age stepped out half asleep. If I was an idiot I would probably mistake her for a really hot Zombie just by the way she was walking but it was still early. Both of us tried to stay silent so not to make the girl wary of our whereabouts, even if we were in plain sight. However neither of us was good at this since Ryan kicked a bucket and I held back my screams of pain. Her eyes widened in shock at the sight of us, instantly she was screaming for help. What are we a problem for a sixteen year old girl? I mean we aren't armed and I'm wounded, how easy could that get? "Who are you?" She screamed, backing up against the wall to a building despite the fact we hadn't moved since being noticed.

"Uh..." Was all I could reply, how did I know I could trust her? This could all be a trap and that in fact both Kat and Ed have been shot just we couldn't see it. That's until I noticed Kat stirring in her sleep, thankfully she was awakening.

"Oh my god Kat thank god" We both replied simultaneously, I looked up from Kat to the girl. She was stunning but wasn't my type by any means, too slutty.

"What the fuck? You absolute dicks, I was trying to get some sleep after fuck knows how long this started and yet you wake me up. Pricks" I lightly chuckled to myself as I watched Kat stand up, completely ignoring the sleeping body next to her. "Fuck you Alan" She chimed then turned to Juliet to lecture her on not waking her up at this time of the morning if there is an intruder that isn't going to attack.

"Kat is everything alright?" Ryan asked, walking over to his sister and giving her a tight hug despite or goal.

"Yeah, where is everyone else?" It was a good question which only my quiet pained screams could answer. This seemed to wake Ed up, surprising how he slept through the screaming. "Oh my god, Alan what happened to you?" She called, kneeling beside me since I had knelt in pain.

"I got shot trying to save your brother" I answered truthfully, no point lying right now.

"Wait, you're shot?" Ed mused from behind Kat. I nodded my head, trying to not take my eyes off of the floor. "How long?" I shrugged my shoulders, it had felt like hours but judging by Kat's mood it couldn't be any later than nine. "You need help, is there a pharmacy nearby or something?" He asked, being more frantic than I had been throughout this entire experience. I rolled my eyes at him, still clutching my side to keep as much blood as possible in my body. There are no blood fusions in apocalypses.

Kat's P.O.V

For once I had really hoped to get a good night sleep, how much is it ask just to sleep for more than an hour? It took me so long to fall asleep and now that I have it, I am being deprived. But the I am thankful, I know that Alan is alive, well kinda and so is my brother but it is so weird seeing them together, helping each other. It is shocking.

"There should be one around the corner" I called from the group now bickering about god knows what. However because of this, no one heard me. I sighed heavily, blowing a stray hair out of my face and began to wave my arms frantically in their direction hoping that they would sense that I was actually there. This didn't work either, just my luck. I tried clearing my throat, and even resulted in raising my voice; still didn't work. "Fine I'll go alone" I muttered to myself, backing away from the group and running in the direction of my destination, all alone, defenceless. I am so bright aren't I.

Author's Note:

Hello people, it has been a while. To those who actually read this I am sorry for the late update i do have an explanation:

1) I am too lazy and 2) I have been writing another story that is going to stay secret until it is uploaded :)

Anyway, I've noticed that my friends are moaning about how many chapters there are in my story so I though that I may repost this but make the chapters longer so there won't be as many and the update times will be a lot longer because I am so lazy. But I really want to know what you think of the idea, if you don't like it then I won't and vice versa.

Have a great Easter Guys

See Ya

Kat Xx
