Alive Amongst The Dead [BxB] COMPLETED

Chapter Two

Levi's pov

"Where are we going?" He doesn't move, just stares ahead. "Amotel." I nod and turn towards my window.

I feel as if my mind is completely clouded.

I have so much to process yet I don't have time to do so. I can't believe I just left something like that behind me. What was I thinking?

I never asked to be apart of this. But I guess thats what my whole life has been, something I never asked to be apart of.

I look around at the dark forests outside the window and feel anxiety tighten my chest.

"What if they find us?" He shrugs and sighs.

"Its every man for themselves. I'm running from east so you're not the only one at risk here." I feel my eyes widen a bit. "You upset the east gang?" He stays silent for a moment. "I was in the east gang, then I left. You should know the consequence for leaving a gang."

I sigh and feel anxiety crawl up my spine. Does he really think I could protect myself? Im 5,3 and everyone in either his gang or mine are like 5,7 or above.

I cringe at the words 'my gang'. Its never really been something I was welcomed into. Let me explain.

Both me and Reese are... or at least were part of two different gangs. Thats the main way of survival in our town, if you're not with them then apparently you're against them. Reese was apart of the east side gang and I am- was part of the west. I don't know about Reese since... since he has barely said a word to me, but I was born into the gang. My parents were the leaders before they got killed and now my brothers are and-

God they are monsters.

I dont know much about Reece's gang since I was never allowed to visit the east side of town but i've heard storys of them. We always got told East was the worst to deal with, they're the ones that murdered cleanly and moved on without a fuss.

Something that i've recently seen first hand.

"I- i can't protect myself from my own gang." He grinds his teeth slightly and squeezes his steering wheel.

"I never asked you to follow me nor did I ask you to survive or protect yourself. Like you said, I'll take you to the next state and then we part ways. Why would I go out my way to protect you?" I feel my body slouch.

"But you can't just let them kill me!" He closes his eyes for a second and squeezes his hand into a fist.

"Why not? I have no reason to keep you around kitten. I'm only taking you to the next state over to give you a chance. I don't care what happens to you after that. Why would I stop them from killing you when theres no guarantee I won't kill you myself." I stare at him in slight disbelief.

"I- wait did you just call me kitten?" He shrugs.

"You're small and your last name is cat, what do you expect me to call you?" I tilt my head slightly.

"My name?" He shakes his head. "No, your name sounds dumb."

I go to argue but stop myself. If I argued, he'd abandon me somewhere for sure. I guess im stuck being called kitten for the next few weeks.

Great.

"Instead of dropping me at the sign, can you take me a little further in? Only like an hour. My aunt lives there, shes my only family member that doesn't want to be part of a gang or kill me."

He doesn't reply for a moment, as if that extra hour he'd have to spend with me would drive him insane, thats if he isn't already insane.

"Fine. But if it's any further than an hour away, im dropping you off." I nod slowly, hoping my memory is correct.

God what have I gotten myself into?

Reese's pov

"Wake up." He quickly jumps and rubs his eyes before looking around. "Where are we?" I climb out the car and grab my bag. "A motel, come on, im not having you fucking sleep in my car." He nods and quickly grabs his bag before climbing out.

We walk in and immediately get greeted by dull mustard walls and brown carpets.

"Room for two." The lady blinks slowly and pulls the cigarette out of her mouth. "Not available."  I glare at her and squeeze my hand tightly around my bag.

Why are people trying to piss me off today?

"Room for one then." She looks down and then back up. "Room 13, second floor. Keep it down." I snatch the key from her and make my way up, not checking to see if the kid even made it into the building.

Whats his real name again? Levi?

"Where am I gonna sleep?" I close my eyes and groan, not wanting to deal with him.

"On the floor." He sighs but doesn't argue, thankfully.

I open the door to our room and immediately get hit with a gross smell. "I might go sleep in the car-" i turn and shove him into the room.

"No, if you get killed I don't want you to get blood on my seats." His eyes widen.

I sigh and flop down onto the bed and stare at the roof.

God why am I in this mess.

Why did I even pay attention to the boy? I should have just walked away or even took his request of killing him.

Now i'm stuck with him for whats going to feel like a lifetime.

"Do they know what car you have?" I push myself up, so im leaning on my elbows.

"No, i've had it hidden on the west side for years." He nods slowly.

"Can I have a pillow to sleep on?" I sigh and throw one at him.

"It's probably got bed bugs." He throws it back at me causing me to smirk.

Sleeping with two pillows is always better than one.
