End Of Everything (Book 1)

12: All Of Me

*Claire's Pov*

*the next day in the courtyard*

Everyone is on edge over the situation. Some want to fight and others want to just give Dylan to them. Try to take our chances with whatever they have planned. I walk over to Troy and Jenny who's sitting at a table, and who also decided to skip morning training.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked with a stern tone in my voice.

"We are still worn out from last nights training. And besides we already know how to use a gun." Troy answered. I seen how both of them handled a gun, they need to be training more than anyone else especially Jenny.

"Alright, you guys are gonna be on the frontlines then. You already know what you're doing, I just hope you guys know how to protect yourselves in close combat. But I'm sure you both know how to do that." I said sarcastically and begin to walk away.

"Wait!" Jenny calls out to me. I stop as she runs stopping in front of me. "W-We're sorry we won't do it again promise." She whispered. I sigh.

"Then you guys head to the training grounds now, class is about to start. This is your last warning, you guys get lazy you die. And that's if your against humans and growlers. Just because you're behind walls doesn't mean you start getting lazy, that's how you lose your life, or worse someone else." She nods in response.

She heads back to Troy telling him what I said. He starts complaining and throws a tantrum. I leave them to work it out. I walk over to Johnny, who was doing push ups with a small class of 8. He's shirtless showing off his toned 6 pack, wearing some grey sweatpants, and white socks. He tells the group to "keep at it" as he spots me.

"Hey there handsome." I grinned when he approached me with his sweaty body.

"Hello my lady." He winked.

"How's class going?"

"It's going good, just doing some basic workouts then jog around the courtyard, back into the wrestling room. These guys are putting in some pretty good work."

"Good, we need more like them. Some of them been behind walls for way to long." I sighed.

"You're right, people start to slack off when they think that they're safe enough to do so."

"All we can do is keep at it and fight like hell. I wish we can just live our lives together and not have to worry about this." His eyes widen. His face begins to form an awkward grin. "You okay babe? You look like your gonna shit your pants."

"What? N..No I'm fine babe trust me. I..I got to get back to my class. Later tonight after you're training session is done meet me on the roof yeah?"

"Um okay, I will." He smiles and pressing his lips on to mine. Our lips part from each other. He places his forehead up against mine.

"I love you."

"I love you too weirdo." He chuckles and gives me one last kiss on my forehead, heading back to his class. I wonder what he has planed.

I start making my way down to the training grounds and to my surprise, Troy and Jenny beat me there. Jenny had a grin on her face while Troy looks like he was dragged here. "Alright class, today's lesson is on close combat. Pick a partner and lets get to work."

*Class ends*

"Alright guys, remember tomorrow morning we start jogging around the whole school! And don't be late and that goes for everybody!!" I told the class as they all leave the wrestling room. I go to hit the showers so I can finally see what my weird awesome boyfriend has planned.

After my shower, I decided to wear ripped blue jeans, with a black nirvana t-shirt, with some white and black Nike shoes. I made my way up to the roof and as I'm on my way, I notice not a single soul was seen or heard in the halls except for me. This is weird it's not even curfew yet, where is everyone? I pass the nurses office and dial back to see if Olivia's inside. I open the door and no one was inside. I start to run towards the stairs and then up them to the roof. I burst through the door and before I knew it.

"SURPRISE!!"

I jumped, putting my hand on my chest as everyone scared the shit out of me. There's tables set up with food on it, desk from classrooms in neat rows, and a few torches lit. I look over to see Olivia, Dylan, and Simon by the food laughing at my reaction. My smile gets bigger when I see Johnny. He's wearing black jeans, with a blue plain shirt. He walks over to me with a big grin on his face. Everyone around us goes silent.

"Babe don't get me wrong I love it, but like w-what is this for?" I asked him. He takes me by the hand.

"Claire, you've been there for me at my worst and my best times. Not only as the best girlfriend in the world but even before as a friend. You touch my heart in ways nobody could ever do so. I appreciate and care about you more than you could ever possibly imagine baby. Even before growlers came, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Our love is one of a kind, you're my soulmate baby. And I don't want to go on much longer without it being offical." He gets down on one knee and tears start to come down my face. "Claire Diana Augustine, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"

"Y-Yes... yes... a billion times yes!!" I smiled with tears coming down hard. His smile widen as he wraps his arms around my waist, lifting me up, and spins me around. He puts me down and my lips land on his. We passionately kiss as everyone cheers. Our lips seperate from each other.

"Lets get it started." Johnny smiled.

"Wait, this is the wedding too?" I questioned.

"Exactly baby." He winked. I chuckle. I nod my head, and wiped off some tears. Johnny grins and heads to the front where all the chairs are facing. Dylan is right next to him, and Olivia is across from them. Simon's back in the middle of him holding a medical book. Everyone begins to take there seats as Sam rushes over to me with flowers. He hands them to me and holds out his arm.

"Shall we?" I put my arm around his and with a huge grin on my face.

"We shall." We made our way down the aisle, and smile as I look over to see Nicole and Jenny crying and giving me a thumbs up. We finally get to Johnny, Sam lets go of my arm and I give him a hug. We pull away from each other and he gives me a wink as he heads to his seat. I take Johnny's hands and smile. Simon grins.

"You can all be seated dudes." Simon told everyone.

"Wait, you can actually marry us?" I raised a brow to Simon.

"By the state of Maryland and the internet, I can officiate any wedding I want dudes." We laughed. Simon continued.

"Do you Claire Diana Augustine, take Johnathan Henry Ambrose to be your lawfully wedded husband, through sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer and all that stuff dude?"

"I do." I answered while smiling with tears in my eyes.

"Now do you Johnny, take Claire to be your lawfully wedded wife, through sickness and in health and everything else I said or I'm suppose to say dude?"

"I do." Johnny answered smiling.

"Um... what am I forgetting uh.. oh yeah, the rings dudes." Simon said. Dylan laughs and pulls out a ring from his pocket and hands it to Johnny. Johnny puts the ring on my finger as my eyes start to water. Olivia taps my shoulder.

"Here ya go babes." She smiled handing me a ring. I give her a quick hug and thanked her. I slide the ring on Johnny's finger with a smile on my face.

"Dude and dudette, I know pronounce you husband and wife, dude kiss the bride." Simon finished while breaking down into tears. Without hesitation our lips connect and fireworks start go off in my body. I assumed people are cheering as I here nothing, but my heart beating out of my chest with excitement. Our lips seperate and I place my head on his chest and smile. This is the best day of my life.
