Zombie Apocalypse (GXG) *ON-GOING*

[== 25 ==]

Chapter 25: Bond

Nika's POV

"Hey, the cars warmed up now, we grabbed some tarpaulins and a blanket also." Leo said, appearing from the front door. The guys were outside preparing the car we will use to go as well as raid a mall, but I don't know what the tarpaulins and blanket are for.

"What's with the tarpaulins and blanket?" I asked, sitting in the middle of the Stewart sisters in the lounge.

"We, the guys, thought that maybe we should give your sister a proper burial. Allen said he knows a good place to bury your sister and he thinks you and Audric would like it." He explained, I looked at him with teary eyes. How thoughtful they were to think of that, my sister's body will finally be in a good place.

"She would've been proud to have you as a sister." Leo said, smiling a bit at me.

I smiled back, knowing my sister is probably proud of who I became now. I stood up and prepared my bag with my previous guns, I took a deep breath and steadied my composure. The two sisters followed, Leo and Jake are staying while the rest of us are going to go out.

Leo held the door for us with a small but charming smile, as soon as I went out I saw the boys and the car already prepared. I went close to them while they were checking if there were zombies close to the gate.

"Ready?" Audric asked, I silently nodded.

All of us climbed on a Nissan truck, I sat on the back seat with Asher and Chelsea while Allen was driving and Ashley was in the passengers seat. Audric decided to sit at the trunk of the car. Leo and Jake both had their guns on the ready while holding the gate for us to go through, after some seconds the car started to move.

There were only atleast 6 zombies in the street we were at, I looked back to the gate and saw Jake and Leo waving at us, and not to mention their slight glare to each other. I kinda ship them though, the more you hate the more you love 🤷🏻‍♀️. As the ride goes on Ashley switched station to station on the radio but we were only met by static. Until one channel was clear.

"Radio Station 91.30 Emergency Broadcasting, this is the commander-in-chief speaking this is recorded in May 24, 2023, there will be a supply drop all around cities every 12 hours. Every box will contain 1 liter of mineral water, 6 packs of crackers, and some ready-to-eat canned goods. It might contain a pocket knife you could use to survive, this can help to maintain your health in a good state,"  The voice said through the radio, this was recorded 3 days ago. I can't believe it's been a month since all this shit happened. we all looked at the radio waiting for what the commander-in-chief was going to say next.

"The barracks in Fidgy Mountain Falls has been overrun, the available places you can go will be at Pallid Hast, Hart Valley, Yashin Madive and Walter West. These places are guarded 24/7, if there's still survivors hearing this, we will be waiting for you. May God be with you all." A click was heard after his recorded speech and the static sound came back.

I let out a sigh and sank down in my seat, I closed my eyes shut wanting to wake up from this terrible dream. I just want to open my eyes and see everything is back to normal. I opened my eyes and was met by destroyed buildings, lifeless bodies laying down in the sidewalk, and flesh eating zombies hoping for a human to come out of their shell.

"Can I know what's going on in your mind? You look like you're getting swallowed by nothingness." Chelsea whispered, not wanting the others to hear. I let out a small sigh and gave her a small smile.

"I just want everything to go back to normal. Back when I was still with my sister, laughing and not caring about anything. If I could go back in time, I would've done it the moment when everything had gone wrong." I looked out the window wanting to tear the thoughts out my mind. I felt Chelsea hold my hand and lightly squeezed it.

"Every beginning always has an ending," Chelsea said. "It'll be alright, we'll stick through thick or thin."

With just 15 words, she made the thoughts fade away. I smiled at her as a sign of thank you, she smiled back at me knowing she did a great job at lifting my mood up.

"I didn't know you great at words." I said letting out a small laugh. She looked at me coyly and smirked.

"It's not the only thing I'm great at." She winked at me, I giggled and shook my head.

"Girls, I'm still here. Don't make me feel left out." Asher pouted after hearing Chelsea flirting with me. All of us laughed at his remark, Chelsea stuck her tongue out at Asher and clung onto me like a leech.

"Nika will never flirt with you, she likes me more." Chelsea said coyly at Asher. Asher crossed his arms below his chest, readying his statement to Chelsea.

"What if I want you to flirt with me?" Asher shot at Chelsea, If I was Chelsea I would've been blushing as fuck. But Chelsea being Chelsea, she raised her eyebrow at him.

"Why would I? I like girls and you're not flirtable, you're not a boyfriend material also." Chelsea shot back, we 'ooh'ed' at them finding the situation fun and entertaining.

"Says the girl who hasn't been in a relationship, ever." Asher exclaimed with a smirked, I wonder where he got that information from, probably Ashley, seeing that she is profusely laughing now. Chelsea let go of me and smacked Asher on the arm, Asher just laughed while Chelsea repeatedly smacked his arm.

"And you're weak too." Asher said, trying to piss Chelsea off. Chelsea let out a grunt and clung onto me again.

"I don't care atleast Nika is with me," Chelsea said while she put her chin on my shoulder. "Right baby?"

"She's not your baby." Ashley said to Chelsea, I felt Chelsea smirk.

"She's not your baby either." She replied with so much confidence. The guys laughed at them while I just shook my head with a small smile on my face.

It felt good to just bond together, without caring about zombies biting our heads off. I never felt this type of fun ever since this apocalypse happened, it felt good. Bonding with friends is one of the best moments you could have.

A/N: I'm really sorry it's been a while since I've updated, online class is a real bitch. Imagine having 10 major papers due at the same time, and I'm still in highschool and the teachers act like I'm already in college. But on the bright side, I have motivation to write so I'll be updating again soon. Have a nice day/night!
