The Zombies Over There

We Need To Talk

Jay's POV

Kenny walked in and looked at me, than to the ground. I say nothing.
"Be quiet. My sisters asleep" Noah hissed, and Kenny nodded. He walked over to me,
"I guess were staying..?" Kenny whispers.
"You'd definitely like that, wouldn't you" I growl. He sighs,
"I was— I'm sorry, Okay!" Kenny snaps.
"SHUSH!" Noah yells, slamming something.
We shut up and Noelle tosses and turns in her sleep, Kenny takes a deep breath.
"I wasn't thinking straight— she started taking off her shirt and-" he starts,
"So your blaming her?" I ask.
"Jay.." he sighs.
"You can stay all you want, I don't know if I'm staying" I say, pulling the blanket closer.
"I lov-" he starts,
"What did you need anyway? Shouldn't you be hunting or something?" I grunt.
".. I hunt every other day, I wanted to rest. I just got done sorting some stuff.." Kenny mumbles. I nod and look away,
"Can I lay with you..?" Kenny asks nervously.
I want to say yes, and cuddle him.
I want to say no, and push him.
"I-I.. Fine.." I mumble, he climbs over me and lays down. Facing the other way and curling up to sleep. I hesitate, wanting to wrap my arms around him and tell him I love and forgive him.
But I didn't.
I just close my eyes and take a deep, shaky breath. I hear the chopping of something and smell fruit. Than feel arms slowly wrap around me, I open my eyes and see Kenny, his face red and his body tensed.
"I'm so sorry.. you don't even know.. she's not like you.. not at all.." he whispers, gripping my sleeve. I rub his head softly, until he relaxes.
"It's.. not okay.. but.. thanks for the apology.." I whisper, he cuddles the side of me, fidgeting and occasionally kissing my hand.
I stare out the window, feeling the emptiness return. I take a deep breath and Noah walks over, handing me a plate with a bunch of stuff on it. Fruit, beans, chips, etc.
"Thank you!" I whisper, Noah smiles a bit and sits by Noelle, carefully waking her up.
I turn and softly kiss Kenny's forehead, he looks up at me with red eyes. I set the plate between us and begin eating, he stares.
"Eat" I whisper softly, he nods a bit and eats with me. Staring at me the whole time, when we finish, Noah takes the plate with a smile. Kenny wraps his arms around my torso and hums, I rub his head.
I hate him, but I love him.
But I love Tord—
I hate this.
"Are you still mad..?" He asks, he was acting like a 5 year old, that I had just scolded.
I sigh, "I-I don't know.." I whisper.
I could hear the whispers of the twins too.
He climbs over me, his eyes and nose red, his eyes sad and a shaky expression.
"I am so sorry— trust me, please. I hate myself and I love you" He leans down and whispers in my ear. I wrap my arms around his neck and hold him close, he does the same.
Than Marshall comes in, he looks at me and sighs very quietly.
"How're you feeling, Jay?" He asks,
"Uh.. better.. it doesn't really hurt anymore" I say slowly. He nods,
"Would you mind taking a walk with me than?" He asks. I nod and Kenny scoots away, kissing my cheek before he does.
I get up and adjust my hat, Marshall takes my hand and we leave the camper, beginning to walk the outskirts of this place.
