Broken Day ||Daybreak|| (Josh Wheeler x Reader)

Convenience Store Run

I'm my own tribe, one man show, I don't need anyone or anything. The apocalypse was the best thing that ever happened to me. That is until the other nukes went off. My entire world crumbled. Kinda like Ms.Crumble did in class one day. My shelter collapsed on me, my supplies were lost, and among all, I lost my best friend. Nia was my best friend. She was a small pup, a golden retriever. She was safe from the first explosion because she stayed in my parents basement with me. When the newest bomb hit, down goes my walls and roof. I watched my pup begin to mutate. She collapsed onto the ground and began to convulse, her size expanding greatly, eyes popping up all over her body. I fought to escape the ruble only to get attacked by my own best friend. I had to kill her.

And that brings us to the present, I'm searching for shelter currently. I believe there is a convenience store a few blocks away and I intend to take it. What is my tribe called you may ask? Dawn Rising. In this apocalypse I began to go by Dawn, my real name being (y/n). To keep jerks from my school from specifically hunting down the weird quiet kid, I changed everything about myself. My hair went from (h/c) to black and red tips. I wear amber eyes contacts whereas my eyes are naturally (e/c). I am an apocalyptic loner, I have rules for survival.

1) don't trust anyone
2) never get attached
3) stay in as small of groups as possible
4) safety first
5) verify kill
6) don't believe a word anyone else says
7) the last and most important one: DO NOT FALL IN LOVE

There aren't many, but they keep me living. I continued skateboarding down the deteriorating road, my back pack slung over my left shoulder. I found the store and went in. It was mostly looted but there was still supplies. "Just enough for one week of refuge. Fuck." I turned my head quickly, ducking down low as a giant truck drove by blaring loud ass music, ghoulies hoarding behind it. "Fuck these kids man, I seriously had it made. Don't believe me, here's a flashback...."
