Zombie Apocalypse with teens

Chapter 5

  As I slowly wake up from my night of sleep, I really don't expect much from it. My body is too tired from putting up the wooden posts, and I kept having nightmares about the world outside.

  I don't want to wake anyone, so I slowly creep into the kitchen, without making a sound. Turns out I wasn't the only one awake.

  "Morning Clare," says Troy, as he drinks his coffee and a biscuit we got from this 7-11. "Morning Troy, I didn't know you drank coffee?" I say as I brew myself my own cup.

  "There's a lot you don't know about me, the fact I am mysterious, and very hot" he replies. He's overconfident in himself, and it's annoying. "Geez, never took you for anything more than a trash can," I reply.

  "That wasn't nice" he replies to my smirk.

  "I'm not nice? Not leaving you in a van-" But I am cut short, by the ear piercing scream of something outside. I quickly go and grab the closest weapon, and Troy is at my heels. 

  "Help! Help! They're coming! Help me please, I do not come armed! I just need to hide while they go! Please!" shouts the woman from outside the fence. I think slowly, and I know I don't have much time. I'm not letting her in, but I will help her kill them off.

  As I tell Troy to hop over, I am quickly faced with the fact that, I hate climbing, much less these brick walls. 

  "Clare, come on, I'll catch you! Hurry please, they are less than 5 minutes away and I can't exactly kill a zombie while your in my arms!" Troy exclaims.

  I quickly process my choices. I don't have any. I close my eyes and climb, imagining its natural to me. Here goes nothing, and I jump off into Troy's arms.

  He caught me.

  We don't have time to talk about the moment, while I am going to be back to back with him, the woman adds in to us, and we start killing zombies at every angle. Unfortunately, I forgot to tie a shoelace.

  I scream and kick and thrash around trying to rid myself of the zombie holding on to my shoelace, crushing my foot with the pressure, and slowly grabbing my shoe itself.

  "Troy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I scream for help, but to no avail. I need to face the fact I am going to die right now, and there's nothing I can do about it.

  He appeared out of nowhere, with zombies on his heels, thrashing their arms, waiting for him to stop, he throws himself on top of me, and kills the zombie at my shoe. I am still shocked, but i get up and follow suit. I kill zombies left and right, until there are no more, and we notice the woman is gone. Disappeared. But not for long.

  We hear a groan from behind and we notice the woman was never planning on surviving, it was all an act. I don't have a good feeling about this.

  "Troy, what you did out there-" but he doesn't let me finish, he quickly responds, "Clare, I have liked you for years now, and I never could show you that, because I was scared. But now I had the chance, and I wasn't going to let it pass me by, I like you Clare, and in the midst of this disaster, I want to go out with you, do you accept?"

  It takes me a second of wide opened mouth shock to process what he just said.

  "Yes, I do" I reply.

  He grins and hugs me, a sense of security passes over me. But there's no safety out here, we need to get inside.

  "Troy, I don't wanna let go, but can we please move inside, I don't like being out." I say.

  We go inside, and we are hand in hand. The others are asleep, so we prepare some actual breakfast for everyone. 

 The others slowly wake up one by one, and we serve the scrambled eggs and bacon we got, before they went bad. I am still in shock by what happened this morning, does he like me? Does he want something more? Well obviously he likes me, or not? I am really bad at this love stuff.

  Rose is the first one to finish, because she was the first to get breakfast, so she walks over to me.

  "Well your in quite a daze Clare" says Rose.

  "It's nothing, just well, you know, this morning..." and I tell her about everything that happened.

  "Oh my gosh, he likesssss you!!!!!!!" says Rose.

  "Shhhhh, I don't want him to hear, and well, maybe he does, I don't know" I reply.

  She can be such a pain sometimes.

  I grab a sword from under my bed, that I discovered yesterday. Sometimes, the sleepless nights do you well. I go outside, and practice slashing in the air. I hear something, a very faint moan, but it's enough to startle me.

  I go closer to one of my loose posts, and I take away the wood. I look through and see a nightmare I would never want to see. Thousands of zombies.

  I run into the warehouse/house, and I scream, "Thousands of zombies approaching in less than 10 minutes, hurry and pack up your belongings, meet you guys out in 5 minutes, take your weapons, clothes, water, and food incase we get split up!"

  Everyone rushes to their rooms, and I follow too. I grab the closest duffel bags, and I pack everything, soap, canned food, water, etc. I feel like it's too much, but in this situation, more the better.

  We all get out, and with seconds to spare. The zombies start approaching the fence, and they start pushing in. I was glad we got out of there in time, I don't know how much longer we could have taken.
