Us against the world?

Your POV: Dan and I have been married for a year now and things are going really well, our anniversary is coming up, but unfortunately he will be on tour at the time so we decided to have our dinner and celebrate it tonight, some random date, I'm really excited though! Dan said he's got something special planned. Speaking of which I need to go shopping for some clothes to wear, he said not to dress too fancy, but I still want to buy an outfit, I feel like tonight will be important. Since it's kinda boring going shopping alone I decide to phone my good friend, Allie.

*ring*

*sorry the number you are calling is currently unavailable, would you like to leave a message?*

I don't leave a message, there's not really any need to do so. Though it is a little weird that Allie didn't answer as she said that she would be free today....eh I brush it off with a shrug and start to call some other people.

Shockingly they're also all busy, oh well looks like I'll be going alone.

Walking out of our apartment I see Mrs Caddie, she lives in the apartment across from Dan and I, she's very nice although very chatty.

Hello Mrs Caddie, nice weather isn't it? I start with a smile. "Urgghtrrr" she replies, or something of that sort. That's weird, I think to myself. I hope she's ok. But honestly I'm a little happy, I don't really have time for a long chat, so walking quickly past I head to my car.

Hopping in and turning the radio up. ".....residents are warned to stay inside and if you have symptoms please contact you local doctor this......" Blah blah mumble, changing the station. I've heard enough of these things to know they're never anywhere near as bad as people say, it's probably just a flu going around, not something that's going to stop me from shopping anyway.

A few more songs start and finish before I arrive, nothing particularly exciting except for a Haim song, which I know if Dan were here he'd have been singing along to. Wow I love Dan so much, I know it's cheesy but I feel like when I'm with him everything will be ok and my worries don't matter anymore.

Parking my car I notice that the car park seems almost deserted, weird! I walk into the shops and head for my favourite stores, again noticing that there isn't many people at all, I've seen one man who gave me a strange vibe and that's it. I can't seem to find the right clothes, everything just isn't quite what I'm looking for.

After going to all my favourite shops and not being able to find anything I decide I'll just have to make do with something I've already got at home, plus I can't see any sales people. This day is seriously starting to get weird, honestly I'm a bit nervous.

As I'm heading to me car I can hear shouting, I'm sure it's just people arguing, something I don't want to get involved with!

Before I can reach the car my phone starts ringing, ah it's probably Allie explaining why she didn't answer her phone.

Hey, All-oh hi Woody!

Wait what?! Can you talk a little slower?

You've got to be kidding!!

Ok well umm just find somewhere safe for now

I'll try to pick you up

Woody are you there???

Woody????

I hang up with shaking hands. That was in fact Woody calling to tell me that there's a zombie apocalypse happening right now. I know I can't believe it either, this just sounds like something out of a horror book. Still not fully believing what Woody said, he's probably just kidding with me after all...but it would explain some of the weird stuff that's been happening...no longer sure what's really going on I drive home, feeling rather spooked.

Only when I reach Dan and I's house do I first worry about Mrs Caddie, is she ok?? But then it dawns on me that if this is true then she might have already 'turned,' after all she's always up for a chat, and she made that weird grunt at me. Shit what if she's waiting for me?!? I'm on the verge of panicking but try to calm down, I'm easier to catch if I can't defend myself. With that terrifying thought in my head my mind switches to something else; Dan. Is he ok?? He should be home by now, so if, no don't think like that, he will be ok! I chide myself. He will be waiting for me. I'm getting more and more nervous with every step I take. Thankfully I haven't run into Mrs Caddie yet, maybe she's at home scared? Or she's out looking for victims. That doesn't help me feel better and I increase my pace, hoping against hoping that Dan is ok, I don't know what I'll do if he's not. Reaching the door I'm almost too scared to open it, summoning all my courage I twist and handle and walk inside, but what will I find?......

Dan's POV: ahhggg! I moan, hearing the alarm going off. It's way earlier than I like to get up, but we're working on our next album. Since the success of Bad Blood and All This Bad Blood, which I still can't believe, but there's been a strong pressure to release another album. A couple of weeks ago we premiered a track called 'Bad_News' I don't really know why I added the '_' but it seems to have stuck, oops! Anyway, the reaction from our fans was amazing! Most of them are pretty keen on it, though it is a bit different from our usual style. The songs I've written and recorded so far are more like the style from All This Bad Blood, hopefully they'll be something for everyone.

(Y/N) is still asleep and she looks so peaceful, I just can't bring myself to wake her up. So, placing a kiss on her forehead I walk out the door and towards my car. I'm wearing my signature outfit, only my hair looks like a little more of a mess than usual.

Surprisingly the old lady who lives across from us isn't out. Hurrying so as not to be late I hop into the car, strangely the radio is on, I don't normally listen to it. "........stay at home and lock your doors"......I change it onto stereo, ignoring whatever the lady was saying, after all it's never important, right? Damn I must have left the Haim CD in (Y/N)'s car, speaking of (Y/N) our anniversary is coming up, sadly I'll be on tour when it falls, so we decided to celebrate it tonight. I've planned out a date, I hope she enjoys it. I think things are going really well between us at the moment. I'm so much happier when I'm with her.

Arriving at the studio I notice that it seems to be closed, weird! Maybe my watch is fast and it's not opening time yet, I think. I'm starting to get a strange feeling, like something's not quite right, surely I'm just being my usual pessimistic self, right? Since no one else is here I must be early so instead of standing outside bored, I make the short drive to the nearest park, maybe I can work on some songs too.

Getting there I notice how deserted it is, there's almost no one in what is a normally very busy place. The only people in sight is a group on teenagers, who seem to be acting weird, some new trend I'm sure.

For some reason I can't get into the right mood for writing songs, the words just aren't there, but not wanting to give up just yet I continue trying and eventually manage to write something half decent, humming a possible tune for it under my breath I notice that the group of teenagers are gradually getting closer and closer, to be completely frank I'm starting to get a little freaked out.

Getting up I grab my notebook and pen, walking to my car. I originally planned to slowly walk but they're picking up the pace and so I do the same, getting more and more nervous by the second. I finally reach my car, and not a moment too soon as I see them reach me just as I slam the door, thank god I'm safe! I don't know what's going on but I know it's not good.

Before I can quite drive away, one of the teenagers, though I'm not sure that's what I'd call it, presses it's face against my mirror, and I swear that I as long as I live I'll never forget the look in it's eyes, something that can only be described as evil. If I wasn't scared before now I'm terrified. I don't know if I'm going to survive.

*AN* So this is part one of a two or three part set, it's a zombie apocalypse AU kind of thing. Hope you guys enjoy it! I'll be posting the next part in roughly two days :) xx Bella
