Allison pov

"We're here."
Jordan said smiling.

I sighed and laughed lightly "finally!"

We walked up to the gate which swung open.There in the middle of the gate frame
were two women waiting to greet us.

One was short and had curly dirty blonde hair while the other was around my height, meaning average, and had very, very short brown hair.

"Jordan! Good to see you made it here alive." The shorter one said.Her voice was high pitched but steady.
"And I see you brought a friend!"
She held out her hand "Hello dear, I'm Mary."

I shook her hand "Allison."

She nodded and then pointed to the other lady " This is Olivia.Sorry she can't talk right now. "

Olivia made a face at Mary.
"Well actually she probably will never be able to talk."

Mary turned to me. "She had a little accident and it damaged her vocal cords."
I nodded.

Peanut barked at Mary
"How could I forget you!"
Mary said in a little baby voice and started rubbing peanut's belly.
" You're such a cutie pie, yes you're one of the cutest little puppies. "

Jordan coughed "We would love to come inside, you know before more zombies get here."

Mary looked up from peanut.
" Oh yes, follow me. "

Jordan turned to me and threw his arm over my shoulder " Come on, I'm tired. "

Mary briefly explained things as we walked to where we would be staying.

"That's a mini green house and that's the lunch house and that's the -"

Jordan spoke up " Mary I'm glad you want to show ally around but we really are tired. "

Mary nodded quickly " of course and here is your room for the night. "

We walked up to a small house.It's lawn had multiple kinds of flowers.

"Cute." I said quietly.

"Well goodnight Ally."

Jordan acted hurt

"Oh you to Jordan."
And with that her and Olivia walked off.
I could still hear Mary talking Olivia's ear off.

"I feel bad.She can't even tell her to stop talking."

Jordan laughed and shook his head.
"Well let's go in."

Turns out there was only one bed, which like a true gentleman, Jordan claimed.Peanut then claimed the floor beside the bed,So I got the couch.

The night came quickly.
You could barely see anything.
I could hear Jordan and peanut snore slightly.

I couldn't sleep.So I stared at the ceiling.
It's weird.How you can be so tired but when you finally get to sleep you can't.

After while I got bored of staring at the ceiling and closed my eyes.
I still couldn't sleep.

The room was completely quiet.
I could hear everything.

I could hear my breath go in and out.
I could hear my heart beat in my chest causing it to vibrate.
I could hear the voices in my head.

Why do we try?

Why does it matter?

No one cares.

Why would they care?
