Graces POV
I already told my brother several times that I was fine that I didn't need to go to the hospital but here I am sitting in a literal wheel chair because I fainted after I got home from my run.
I told trent several times that it was just because I was dehydrated but he insisted that I was about to die and shoved me in the car and drove me to the hospital.
"So are you gonna tell me I was right or just sit there and pout?" I asked him laughing.
"I was scared I was gonna lose you g don't be an ass" he said grabbing me another bottle of water from the vending machine outside the hospital.
"I know and I'm sorry but you gotta admit it was a little bit funny" I said shoving him playfully.
"Let's just get home and get some rest" he said walking to the car.
"What's happening though like why was the hospital packed we turned a 10 minute check up into a 4 hour one." I asked.
"Something is happening on the news and stuff we can find out when we get home." He opens my door and I get in and shut my door. He walks around the car and jumps in and drives us home.
On the way there we jam out to Billie and some Harry when suddenly the radio starts beeping the emergency alert sound for a good 10 seconds.
"GO HOME. STAY HOME. ONLY GO OUT FOR ESSENTIALS. THE VIRUS IS SPREADING. GO HOME. STAY HOME. GO OUT FOR ESSENTIALS. BE SAFE."
It was silent or a minute.
"Trent I'm scared" I whisper.
"What do they mean virus what's happening" he says.
"Trent I ate the last box of Roman we need to go the store then go home and stay there" I say pointing to a Walmart.
"Okay we make this fast get in get out and don't touch anything" Trent says pulling into a parking spot.
"It's packed in there" I say grabbing his jacket.
"We will be fine let's grab a basket and get a few things I don't have a lot of money right now we gotta be thoughtful with what we get okay." Trent says.
He works at a restaurant down from our apartment while I go to school and work at subway with my best friend Avery.
"Trent I have been saving up the last few months with each of my checks so I can pay for it" I tell him as he grabs one of the last buggies. I grab a wipe and wipe it down.
"Let's get some ravioli I freaking love that shit" I say going to the cans.
Trent grabs things and put them in the cart while I look for ravioli but there ain't any left they got a few cans of spaghetti but that isn't the same as ravioli and there is no changing my mind.
"Who ever bought all the ravioli your moms a hoe" I say to the packed isle I am in. Trent shakes his head and walks away.
They better ATLEAST have the blue and pink monsters I like.
"We need to get a lot of water g grab a pack and put it on the bottom" I do as he asks and looks for the monsters.
"THANK YOU JESUS" I scream and grab the last four packs of them. I could live off of these if I had to.
"G I don't know what's gonna happen in the next few months let's go look at the camping supplies okay" I just nod a-little panicked that he thinks this is gonna all go south in just a few months. I follow after him down the fishing isle. He grabs a collapsible fishing rod and a pack of different hooks. He walks down alittle and grabs a small tool kit.
"T you know I don't know how to fish right?" I ask him.
"You might have to learn g" he shrugs looking around.
He stops and started at a pack of throwing knifes and two large machetes he grabs a bunch of throwing knifes and four of the machetes with holders.
"Trent are you going insane?" I ask grabbing the stuff and start putting them back.
"No grace I am not something bad is gonna happen I can feel it just... just trust me okay." He puts the stuff back in the cart and grabs 2 big book bags that come with sleeping bags and he put a whole tent in the cart.
"TRENT this is gonna be so much money we don't have that kinda money to spend I'm making less than you bro"
I say looking at him like he is crazy.
"G I'm telling you to trust me. Okay. Just trust me and if I'm wrong we can return all of it and get our money back" he says grabbing different kinds of weapons.
"Fine I'm only agreeing cause we can return it okay" Trent turns around and smiles.
"We can't get a gun because neither of us have a fun license but dad use to have a bunch up in the locked gun case." I just nod at him clearly he is losing his mind and I'm just gonna pretend that's it's perfectly fine that we are getting more weapons than food.
We get to the register looking like complete crazy's and I'm so embarrassed I just give my card to Trent and go to the car.
*incoming call from aves❤️*
"Avery I'm so glad you called Trent is going insane!!" I say laughing.
"Grace my parents are making me pack all my stuff up and are packing the truck up I don't know what's happening or were we are going I'm scared." Avery says over the phone I take a pause maybe Trent was onto something.
"Trent is coming to the car right now I'll call you back when I get home okay bye I love you aves" I say hanging up.
I get out the car and help my brother put all the stuff in the car. He pushes the cart to one of the holders and comes back with a bag.
"Look what I got me with your card" he says holding up a drink. I roll my eyes I'm scared to even look at my bank account at this point.
"We are going home now while I was waiting in line I looked up what everybody was doing and they are putting wood planks on the windows so when we get home and get everything in the house go to your room and get your bed frame taken apart okay imma do the same" is it just me or does he actually sound insane at this point.
"You know what I will cause after this is over you will be buying me a new bed frame" i say. He backs the car up into our designated parking spot. I grab some bags and in lock the door I put the stuff on our kitchen table. And go to my room and start taking apart my bed frame.
Once I'm finished I go into trents room right across from me and see he has a huge stack of wood from everything he owns.
He grabs our nil gun from under the sink and punts wood over every window and leaves just enough space so we can see out them. I go back to my room and lay down on my mattress that is now laying on the ground. Frick I forgot to call Avery back.
I pull my phone out and dial her number but it won't go through. I go find Trent to ask if he paid the phone bill.
"Yeah I payed it 4 days ago why?" He asks grabbing his phone. He tries to call me but it doesn't go through so I try to call him. Of course it doesn't work so we go sit down on the couch and turn on our tv it takes a minute to focus and not be so blurry and we change it to the news. It's showing videos of people attacking other people. People shooting other people. And worst of all people eating other people.
"Trent what is going on." I say looking from him to the tv.
"The dead are rising." He says looking at our supplies scattered around the kitchen.
"We need to pack our bags just Incase we need to run for it" he says I just get up and follow him he hands me the two packs of throwing knifes and a machete.
"Strap the throwing knifes on both your legs go practice your gonna need it" he says he gets to evening up all our stuff and putting it in our bags. I walk up stairs and draw a target and pin it to my wall. I start practicing for hours.
