Romance in an Ending World

Chapter 5: Lazy Escape

ASHLEY

"Here drink this." He handed me a purple looking tube.

"What? No! I just met you, and your giving me stuff to drink? No way! It could be pot, or something. What is this?!" I screeched at him.

"Why do you ask so many questions?" he said annoyed. "It will help you get strength, from your injuries. And it will help you stand up, and actually walk." He paused and took of the top of the tube.

"Now drink it." he said firmly.

I grabbed the bottle, gripped my nose, put it in my mouth and swallowed. I nearly gaged, all of it out. It was disgusting!!! It tasted worse than cherry medicine!

I threw the bottle to the ground, gasping for water. "What is that?!" I demanded from him.

"It was black berry medicine. Here, this will help with the after taste." He handed me a water bottle, he had next to him.

I literally could of drank that whole bottle, if it wasn't for the door. I froze when the front door came crashing down, and walkers just fled in. Sean instantly reacted, and closed the backdoor where we were in.

He started messing around with his backpack, and pulled out 5 bullets, a hand gun, and car keys.

I start to panic and became a little nervous, and light headed, but he notices. So he stands up and reaches out his hand for me and says, "Come on trust me. We don't have much time. Please I can help."

I hesitate for a moment, but the harsh knocks on the door wake me up. So I grab his hand, and he pulls me up. I instantly fall back down on the bed.

"That black berry stuff isn't working so well." I told him.

"Ya, I actually don't know what it is or what it does. So there might be some side affects. It was some stuff I found in my car, that was in the first aid kit." He said frantically.

"Excuse me!" I yelled disgusted.

"Ya, I thought it would help. But it obviously didn't." he yelled back, over the growing moans and banging.

"Ya, obviously!" I sent back.

We heard the wooden door start to grow weak, and crack.

"That door isn't going to hold much longer. I have my black truck, in the back of this place waiting for us. If you go through that door, it will be on the left. Hopefully non of these things got to it." He paused.

"Here." He tossed me his keys, with Mickey Mouse all over the key long keychain. "There should be a couple grenades, under the passenger seat. Go get them and bring them back here. While I'll try and hold them back." He yelled, while putting his backpack back on.

I looked at the keys and back at him. "Wait I can't walk remember." I reminded him.

"Oh ya... Great. Well I guess we are just going to have to wing it then." He confirmed back.

Right when he said that, the door came down and walkers slowly started to fill the room.

He started shooting when he said, "Put on your backpack and get anything else you have with you!"

I did as he said, but paused and looked at my picture. "What are you doing!?" He asked worried.

"Oh. Sorry." I calmly said back. I slipped my backpack on, and was ready for what ever he had planned. I had a hand gun with 2 bullets ready to shoot, just incase Sean needed backup. It didn't seem like he did though. He was pretty good actually, like he's done this before.

"Weird." I whispered to my self.

Sean heard, and stared at me for a second, "What?"

"Oh, I'm ready." I quickly recovered.

"Alright then, close your eyes." He said.

Of course I didn't listen, and I saw the whole thing fall into place.

He stopped shooting and ran to me. Grabbing me harshly by the waist, and pulling me over onto his shoulder, I screamed, "AAAHHH!!"

"It's ok. Gosh! Just cover me!" He commanded. As he ran to the door, while not so easily shooting the walkers chasing after us.

So I did as he said, and only shot 2, because of the number of bullets I had. I know stupid right!

He ran through the door in the back, and rushed to his truck.

"Really? 2?" I said annoyed.

"Sorry. I thought that Mr. tuff guy could handle it him self!" I argued.

I could hear him laugh, when he opened the door of the passenger seat and roughly set me in.

"Ow!" I alarmed him.

"Sorry. I'm in the middle of saving our butts here!" He argued back.

Right when he was done with me, he reached under my seat and grabbed a grenade. Not to mention he ripped off the top with his teeth, and threw it at the flood of walkers coming at us. Which was really hot!! Wait did I just think that? No, stupid!

I hit myself on the head, with my wrist.

But that was a really stupid move. It just made the pain worse.

"Ow." I softly said.

I was slightly pushed forward, when the restaurant blew up and went into flames. He ran around the truck, and got into the drivers seat. "Will you please stop hurting your self?" He said annoyed.

"Sorry." I told him.

He smiled at me, and chuckled while starting the car.

"Hold on, because I'm a hot driver." He winked.

I rolled my eyes playfully at him, and laughed. Forgetting that the world was ending, and the bar was in flames behind us.
