Romance in an Ending World

Chapter 8: The Plan

ASHLEY

I see Sean look at me with confusion, as I slide the bullets into place. "What?" I asked.

"How will you shoot them from the inside? You can't open your window, they'll grab you and you'll get bit." He says confused.

,

"Well," I say slipping the last bullet into place and unlocking the shot gun, "I thought you knew you had a sun roof." I say feeling like a know it all, rubbing it in his face.

"Oh." He said feeling stupid.

I grab a hold of the handle above the door, and Sean swerves backwards. When the walkers slam into us harder making it harder to move through.

"I can't turn around!!!" he yells worried and scared, "They're to strong!!"

"It's okay..." I say shaky, trying to settle his ease.

"What do you mean?? We're trapped!!!!!" he says with no hope.

"Don't worry. Can you drive backwards? And fast?" I ask.

"Ya, why?" he questions.

The walkers start banging the doors, and almost shattering the glass. They're clawing at the doors, and biting the air around the car. Trying to get in.

We both looked at each other worried, but I know we can make it. Sean slams the wheel and bangs his head against it. I know that hurt, he hit hard.

He starts to let down a tears slowly shaking, making some of his pants wet. That's when I know I have to do something fast.

"Sean look at me." I say serious trying to make him calm down. "I don't know what you have went through, but we have to make it through this. We can't quit now. You will not die. You will keep going, not shedding a tear more." I lecture him, trying to sound buff.

He looks at me with a little light of hope. Sniffing up, he wipes the small tears away trying to look normal again. "What's your plan??" he asks.

"Now, you are going to be a man, and drive this car all the way out of this mess. Even if you must do it backwards." I tell him strongly.

I see a little doubt in his eyes but I, ignore it. The growls outside grew louder, and shakes him up.

"O-okay, but what about you?" he wonders.

"Me? Well, I'm going to go use this guy up on your sun roof." I wink at him, slipping my headphones in.

My phone still works, so I listen to my snowboarding track, and tug open the sun roof.
