the door closed with a heavy slam as all three of us huffed our lungs out, trying to grasp air flow once again. a group of limpers chased us all the way to my house and we barely escaped. i locked the door and we all slowly took steps back, covering our mouths so they couldn't hear us. after waiting a while they became distracted and slowly walked away and towards different sounds. i sighed and made my way to the kitchen, where I grabbed a giant grocery bag and let johnny raid my cupboards. skye and I marched to my room where I slowly started to pack appropriate clothing items for the journey. I took down my hung up pictures of my family and I and slowly brought them to my chest, squeezing my eyes shut. I couldn't hold back my tears, i loved my family so much. it hurt so bad. i gently brought the picture to my lips and kissed it, my breath wavering around as skye pulled me into a hug. "are you okay Boston...?" She asked becoming nervous.
"yes, yes I'm okay" I started to wipe my eyes "it's just a lot at once, but everything will be okay." i threw her my best fake smile and she gently smiled back. we walked downstairs to my dads gun cabinets which were mainly empty but then I saw a note on the inside of they first cabinet door.
boston
the last cabinet is unlocked and has two handguns in it, instructions are in the right bottom hand corner. bullets are on the top shelf take all of them. we love you dearly. see you soon love. we left the van behind, we took the truck. if you can find any friends to drive, if not take what you learned from Jordan.
- dad mom jordan
i couldn't help but smile bitterly at the note, and tuck it in the back pocket of my jeans. i walked towards the cabinet and cleared it out quickly, I grabbed most of my dads over sized shirts from upstairs to wear and took my blankets. I tossed johnny the keys, knowing he can drive four wheelers and side by sides. it started to become dark and more of those things were roaming the streets, we quickly unlocked the van and put all our belongings in. the plan was, skye and i sit in the back for a bit then skye sits in the front after a while to keep johnny awake and then I sit in the front so skye can get some sleep. messy but that's what was happening. we all got in and johnny started the car, making limpers walk our direction. "GO!" skye yelled out making johnny quickly pull out of the driveway and speed off.
"someone pull up a gps!" johnny spoke nervously.
"I got it" sky replied, putting google maps on. luckily you guys had a phone charger in the car.
"everyone text you parents telling them we have left and to text us if they need to, we have chargers." I add on. "I'm putting on music" I then mumble.
we listen to happy songs as we pass by limpers eating people, i close my eyes and skye completely turns around.
"alright Boston, try and get some sleep while skye entertains me." johnny spoke, I nodded and skye unbuckled her seat belt and crawled into the front seat. the sky was becoming a dark blue and was almost black. i sighed gently and fell asleep to my soft playlist of music.
"skye I have something to tell you..." i woke up to johnnys words but stayed silent, wanting to hear this, I slowly shift my gaze to the window which makes me realize the sky is now black. "What is it John?" She yawned.
"before we wake Boston up I just wanted you to know that...that i think I like you..." he spoke.
"gee thanks, i like you too. nice to know my best friend like me." She laughs obviously.
my eyes widen and I grin from ear to ear.
"no...I like you more than a friend...i know this is a bad time and all but it just had me thinking...we would be good together...what do you think" he asked, I could see the lump in his throat as he anxiously awaited her response.
"I-" i quickly cut skye off.
"OH MY GOD SAY YES YOU LITERALLY YOLD ME THE OTHER WEEL YOU LIKED HIM!" I scream making them both jump.
"BOSTON!" they yell in unison.
"sorry." i grin "finish your love session later kids, your turn to sleep skye." i giggle making her lightly hit me in the arm and crawl back into my seat as I crawl into hers.
"don't dream of johnny too much skye" i wink making her face turn beat red and johnny grin.
this is interesting...
