Save Me (ON HOLD)

Chapter 10

Thinking about You

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me and Angie strut down the road towards the mall. On our way we meet a couple of guys.... Walkers per say.

She was right they love us. We make sexy poses and they fall into a trance. They see us and start gurgling and walking towards us with their hands out in front of them wanting to touch us.

We giggle and stab them in the head with a knife causing them to fall at our feet as we skip away.

"We must look like homicidal maniacs." I think out loud and we both laugh while arm in arm skipping into the big empty parking lot.

Once we get to the entrance we stop skipping and walk through the doors. "Stay alert and always have your weapons at reach. You never know who else wanted to visit the mall." She explains as we walk into a clothing store.

"Yes. I needed some new clothes." I said ecstatically.

"Same here. After this we should hit a shoe store."

"Definitely." I say smiling. Feeling like a normal girl again. Besides the murder of dead people that just occurred less then 30 minutes ago.

We part ways, scavenging for new clothes that fit our style. I picked up some jeans and leggings. I also picked up some graphic tees and many various tops. Angie found a rack of halter tops and forced some in my hands.

I was just about to find a bag when I saw this really cute leather jacket. This is perfect. I found my size and quickly grabbed it. I stuffed all my new clothes into a big plastic bag and waited by the door for Angie. "Hurryy." I wined wanting to get some new combat boots. Mine are worn down and are chewed on by walkers. Those boots saved my life countless times.

Angie finally finished and we sped off to the next store. I grabbed some converses and combat boots. Black of course. And grabbed some socks. I was in need of more socks. Angie seemed to have the same idea. When I finished I grabbed Angie at the shoulders and looked her sternly in the face. "We need to go to a beauty supply store. I'm in need of more hair products." She smiled in response and we practically ran to the store.

Inside we split up. I grabbed my needed hair supplies containing oils and combs and brushes. I also got a flat iron. Maybe I'll straighten my hair later. I grabbed some make up because i was loving this new look and secretly took to cases of pads. It was a nightmare living in the woods on my monthly. I shivered and went to find Angie.

I saw a shadow behind one of the make up isles. Of course I went around. "Hey Angie. Where to next?" I ask.  A look of shock spread across my face as I was attacked by a walker. This walker was exceptionally ugly. When it was alive it was a women who was in love with fashion. Now it's an ugly beast covered in old smudged makeup and really long pointy nails.

I fell back struggling to keep it away from my neck. I gathered all my strength and pushed it to the ground. My hand was wandering over to my knife. I patted my foot.

Shit.

I wore my converses instead of my boots so there was no knife. I didn't have time to reach for my sword because it was already back and on top of me. It clawed at my face causing a warm trickle down my left cheek. I screamed in pain.

The walker moved even faster now. Drunk from the sight of my blood. It was pretty strong. I thought about pushing and running when a knife went right through its head and the life was sucked out of its eyes. I push it off of  me and get my stuff together. "Thanks." I said while walking out of the store already in the process of erasing the previous event from my memory. We walked down the hallway for a few minutes. "Where are we going now?" I asked taking note that the way out was in the other direction.

"You'll see." She said.

We turned and stood right in front of an apple store. She walked in and grabbed a box out of the room of boxes. She opened it and did something on the computer. She handed me the phone. "Here. Don't lose this. We all have a phone and this is how we will communicate to each other and the governor." She took out her phone and started doing something.

"Does he send this stuff in?" I ask.

She nodded. "I just programmed the contacts into your phone and gave them your number too." She responded as she got up to look for a new phone case. I did the same. I found a purple one that said keep calm. As soon as I put the case on my phone started to buzz.

Aundrey: Hey ;)

Me: ew hi xD

Channing: hey kitty

Me: I'm not a baby cat

Channing: Are you an old cat?

Me: no ..

Channing: okay then kitty :D

Channing is always calling me kitty. And I can tell Angie gets jealous. But I only see Channing as my brother.

We walk back home without and disturbances from dead people. Angie constantly talks about her texts with Channing. I'm only half listening. 

Carter: We need to talk

My heart stops. What do we need to talk about. If it was any other guy i'd be fine but I'm always nervous with Carter.

When we get to the house I go straight to my room. I jump and hold my heart when I see carter sitting on my bed. Waiting for me.

"Gosh Carter." I say.

As i walk towards him he stands up. He looks partly scared and sad.

"What?" I ask.

He touches my cheek and I flinch. He looks at me. "Why do you always get hurt?" He asks concerned.

I shrug. We sit on the bed. "What's your choice?" He asks without looking at me.

"I want to stay." I say.

He looks at me. "Why?"

"Why not?"

He smiles. I look at him and he stares at me. He's so beautiful. He's tempting me with his big eyes. It takes all the power that I have not to touch him. Without noticing we lean in.

His lips brush my and my hand touches his face. His lips are so warm. I felt fireworks.

He pulled away. A look of shock on his face. He mumbled sorry and practically ran away.

I laid back on my bed. My hands trembling as I touched my lips. Heat rose up to my cheeks.

I got into the covers and pulled it over my face.

I kissed Carter Reynolds.
