The Zombies Over There

The Nightmares

Jay's POV
10:00 Pm Monday December 2nd

We had spent the day here, and planned the stay the night here. Everyone was getting beds ready. We had 'agreed' to sleep in two different areas for 'safety'. Sam with Lewis and Tord with me. I didn't want to sleep with him, I wanted to sleep with Lewis. But I didn't have a choice. I hugged Lewis and Sam and than headed to the back room to sleep with Tord. I put my bag down and laid down, putting my head on my bag.
"That looks uncomfortable" Tord says, closing the door.
"It doesn't need to be closed.." I mumble,
"What?" He asks, looking down at me.
"Nothing" I say. He lays down next to me, his head rested against his bag. We lay there for a bit in silence.
"You can rest your head on my chest" Tord says suddenly, I give him a weird look.
"Your bag for a pillow isn't comfortable, I'm just saying maybe you'd be more comfortable with me" he shrugs. I hesitatingly scoot closer and place my head on his chest, he was wearing a red hoodie which had been under his coat. He took his coat off earlier. I pull the blanket over us and close my eyes, trying to sleep. Not even two minutes later, he puts his hand on my head. I flinch slightly and he rubs my head.
I felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Where did the dogs go?" I ask suddenly,
"Huh?" Tord mumbles.
"Oh! Uh.. they ran toward one of the stores" he says anxiously. I nod. I stare at the high window, it was too high to see if 'Zombies' we're outside. Which only made me more uncomfortable. Tords chest wasn't much better, it was hard to get comfortable. But eventually I got tired, I closed my eyes and found relaxation. He continued to rub my head but it was fine, I drifted into sleep.

2:00 Am Tuesday December 3rd

I sat up fast, my breathing hard. I had had a nightmare. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, glancing at Tord. He was still sound asleep, I get up and quietly open the door, grabbing my axe and heading over to the front door. I glance out the foggy window, I didn't see anyone. Good. I walk over to where Sam and Lewis we're staying, the front desk area. I glance at them- they were cuddled together. I sigh a bit, Was I jealous? How could I be- I didn't even like Lewis. I slowly walk away and adjust my hat, it was dark but my eyes had adjusted. I walk over to the bathrooms, opening the girls bathroom door slowly.
No one.
I walk in and check all the stales, nothing. I walk over to the mirror and stare at myself. My hair was all tucked into my hat, making it look like I had very very short hair that just happens to fit under a hat. Dirt was all over my face, along with mud. I had dark bags under my eyes and my lips were practically blue from the cold. I sigh again, watching the smoke leave my mouth. I pull my hat up and smile a bit at my hair, well, the mess of hair. I slide my hand through it and fix it as best I can. My ears, which had been covered by my hat, were dark red from the cold. So was my nose. I pull the hat back over my face and leave the bathrooms, dragging the axe with me. As soon as I leave though, I bump into something. I immediately swing my axe,
"Hey! Calm down!" Tord whisper-yells. I look at him and groan,
"What're you doing?!" I whisper.
"I could ask you the same thing!" He says. His eyes were watery.
"You alright..?" I ask hesitantly, he sighs and hugs me. Confused, I hug back. He puts his head in my shoulder and I rub his back,
"Nightmare?.." I whisper, he nods. I felt bad, I had horrible nightmares a lot as well. It wasn't fun- especially when they get to you.
"I had one too.." I sigh.
