Life in the apocalypse (On hold)

Chapter 1

'LIZZY'
'WE HAVE TO GO'
'BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHE-'
'THERES NOTHING WE CAN DO NOW COME ON'
I grab my brothers hand and run into the forest. Our camp just got attacked by those stupid monsters. We call them walkers. They're everywhere. But don't get bit or else you turn into them. Me and my brother keep running for a while until we're deep in the forest. We sit down by a tree, heavily breathing with sweat dripping down our foreheads. Our group is now separated. Some dead. We was once a group of 10 now 7. That we know of. More of us could be gone I don't know. I just knew I had to get Jackson out of there. He's my younger brother who I'm sworn to protect. He's just a kid wrapped up in all of this shit. I pull out a water bottle from my bag that's 3/4 full 'thanks god' I think as I take a drink. I hand the bottle to Jackson and he started guzzling the water.
'Hey dont drink too fast that's the only bottle we have. Don't want to waste it'
Jackson nods in agreement and slows down. He pulls the bottle away and looks up at me,
'Do you think mum and dad made it out?' His voice was quiet, almost a whimper. I can tell he's scared. If I'm honest I'm scared too but we have to be brave in this world. I look straight ahead, not daring to look him in the eyes,
'I don't know buddy...I hope so' I knew if I looked in his eyes I'd see the sadness and heartbreak at the thought of our parents being munched on like a feast.
'We can't stay here jacky. We need to go look around see if anyone else made it out' I stand up and dust off some of the dirt from my jeans and stick a hand out to help my brother up and he copies my actions. He does that a lot. He says I'm his role model and he wants to be brave like me. Little does he know he's braver than me. This situation is terrifying and he's handling it like a pro. I'm proud. Anyway I put the water bottle back in my bag and hold my brothers hand as we walk around the forest. We look for at least an hour and no luck finding anyone.
'Jacky it's going to get dark soon we need to go find a place to stay'
'But what about mum, dad and everyone else? What about them? What if they're-
I kneel down and pull my brother into a hug.
'I don't know bud. They'll be fine though I'm sure of it. We just need to find a safe place to stay for now okay? Well look again tomorrow'
I pull away and wipe away a few of Jackson's tears and he nods in agreement. We walk towards the highway. One side is full of abandoned cars the other completely empty. We walk down the empty side towards the centre of Atlanta. Hopefully there's a house or something that will be safe enough for tonight.
