Left behind

Opening

It's been just over five weeks since the first infected was seen wandering the streets of Britain , biting everything, well everyone it could see, it's been four weeks since the government fist started to try and find a vaccine for whatever this shit is that's making people turn into one of them monsters, it's been three weeks since the country and the rest of the world started to fight against these... these things that are trying to eat everyone they could see , it's been two weeks since all communication had stopped except from one radio station, a pirate station trying to tell people that we can fight against these things and that the government needs to realise that the only way to do this is to let people fight for themselves instead of sending young men who are untrained in defending the country from these things, one week since I last saw someone and six days since I saw my family.

**5 weeks earlier**

"Breaking news!! A man has been shot dead in London today, after running down the street biting, yes I did say biting, everyone who he passed. Government officials have said this man has been in a local hospital after being bitten by another man who suffered the same illness. 13 people have been reported to have been bitten and are currently going through tests but there were also 3 deaths. Could this be a zombie invasion or just a case of rabies, who know"

What a thick shit, this guy can't be serious, can he? First of all, it's not called a zombie invasion; it's called an apocalypse, dumb ass, secondly if it was rabies the government would have issued the coroner's report of the man who was biting everyone by now and finally if it was, could you imagine if it was, an apocalypse not an outbreak of rabies obviously, it would be so fucking cool, no school, no chores and all that playing of the Walking Dead and the Last of Us would finally come to use, who said kids don't learn anything from video games but also all them violent films, I know how to kill someone with just a pencil and plus I know how to kill a zombie but also I've learnt there are about 4 types of zombies; walkers, runners, clickers and my favourites 'big mamas'.
Thinking about the Last of Us, maybe I could sneak about 20 minutes in before school then if anything happens I'm ready to take on any son of a bitch zombie that tries to bite me! Oh if only it would actually happen.

"Marley-Rose Bennett, get down here now otherwise you're gonna be late for school which is gonna make me late for my big meeting."
"It's 8:15am, I start school at 8:55am and it takes about 20 minutes in the car on a bad day with loads of traffic so please tell me how I'm gonna be late? if anything I'll walk it's just round the corner mum"
"Okay, how 'bout if you come down now, I'll pick you up at lunch and we'll go shopping and have Nandos, just me and you like old times hun"
So yeah as you can tell I ran down the stairs missing the bottom step completely twisting my ankle and cutting my hand open in the process, oh I am a smart little cookie.
Mum always knew how to bribe me when it comes to going to school, I rarely went but had to this year considering it was my GCSE year and mum wanted me to get the best grades possible for me to peruse my dreams, well her dreams of me becoming a teacher. Plus I really wanted Nandos.

For a long time it was just me and mum then she got pregnant by this guy who she ended up marrying three years after she gave birth to my brother, the funny thing is she found out she was pregnant with my sister the day after the wedding which explained why her dress didn't exactly fit perfectly.
I never met my real dad, he died two weeks before I was born while he was deployed on some mission but I know he's still around, I don't know how but he's always with me where ever I go. Mum always says that I look a lot like him, that I have he's eyes and his smile but also his disgusting sense of humour which I'm not ashamed off.
Anyway my mums new husband and I haven't exactly got on over the last 13 years he's been around, I'm 16 by the way, so yeah we've never been able to agree on anything and there were constantly arguments going on around the house and today was like every other day.

Anyway I hopped into the kitchen holding my hand trying to stop the bleeding, mum saw that I was limping and sat me next to my little brother, she threw me over a towel to clean the blood up a little, there wasn't as much as I thought there was. My mum was sorting Danny and Ellie out for us to leave, my brother and sister if you didn't work that out and Simon, mums husband, was just closing the day as I walked into the room probably gotta go to the school early, oh yeah did I forget to mention he was the head teacher of my school which made it ten times worst if I ever got in trouble because he would punish me at school but also at home so I never got to do anything, I wasn't a naughty kid I was just misunderstood you see, I was bullied from about year 3 and once I got into high school I started to fight back when someone tried to pick on me so I was always in the heads office being told off for fighting.

"I'm glad your finally down here, are you ready to leave now?"
