Duck Drama

Chapter 44- Zehra

I wake up in Dewey's arms. His face looks so calm, like nothing ever bothers him. He's so peaceful, too.

I wonder what were to happen if I kissed him right here...

No.

I can't risk it.

I don't want to make a bigger commitment if we aren't even ready to keep it. I don't want to get my heart broken... Kissing is like... you're ACTUALLY dating, and that person is holding your heart made of glass. I just... I don't want Dewey to drop it...

I turn my head to the side and see an alarm clock... which shows the date- WHAT?!

Wow... what am amazing birthday I had! I got to clean up, I got raped, my sister couldn't be found, and my friend was killed.

Wasn't that a fun day? 

I turn back and look at Dewey. How the sun makes him look brighter, how sleeping has helped him regain his inner Dewey, and just how cute he is.

"I feel you watching me..." Dewey mumbles.

I feel my cheeks grow hot. HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO!!!

Dewey opens a blue eye to look at me. He must see my blush because he smiles. 

"Stop." I say. 

He looks confused, so I explain, "Stop being so cute so I don't have to stare!" 

Dewey caresses my cheek and his face inches closer to mine. "Oh? You think I'm cute?" 

I bring my face close, too. "Yes..." 

He chuckles and rubs our noses together. "I think you're cute."

I hum and close my eyes, but I see something I never want to see again.

... I- I thought she left...

Is she back?

An image of Emma flashed through my mind. But not the little Emma who came to my house. She's older... she's matured... she's scarier... 

"Zehra?" Dewey pulls away. "Babe?" 

AHUGKLGIUCYFIFUVHKGCUIUGVGCVKJBNHOUGI- "BABE"?! WHAT- Nooooo...! Bigger commitment...

"You okay?"

I nod my head and give him a fake smile. It's really not that hard... it's just sad how I'm so used to doing it.

"I'm fine..!" I lie. 

Dewey raises an eyebrow and throws his leg on my side, getting on top of me.

"D- Dewey?! Wh- What are you doing?!" I freak out.

WHY WOULDN'T I?! DEWEY'S MAKING IT LOOK LIKE HE'S GOING TO FUCK ME-

"Nothing~" Dewey sings. "Just coaxing the truth outta ya..." 

He gently places his lower half against mine. My heart starts pounding and I feel as though my whole body is red, and not just my face. Dewey grabs my wrist and places my arms on top of head. I start breathing rapidly. 

T- This is too much, too soon. 

Liam "enjoying himself" pop up in my mind. I use all my strength to NOT cry... but it's hard. How did Athena deal with it? She probably moved on from it and can kiss her boyfriend.

I can't. Not without freaking out and getting scared.

Heh... what a wimp, right?

"Now..." Dewey says, looking at my lips. "What's wrong? Why are you-" Dewey whispers in my ear. "-lying to me?"

He comes back up and looks at me, studying my expression... which I made look "happy".

"I- I um..." I choke. Dewey touches my lower lip, and leans in for a kiss- NOPE! 

I swiftly turn my head away, shutting my eyes. 

I take a shaky breath and try to speak after long silence. "I'm sor-" 

"How much longer?" Dewey demands. His angry voice has a hint of embarrassment. 

"I- I don't know..." I reply.

"Zehra." He gets off me, and helps me sit up. "I want to embrace you properly, but I can't do that if I can't kiss you! I want to be the guy who can kiss his girlfriend whenever, and wherever he wants, because he can. But I can't. And that's... not going to work with me." 

'I'm sorry...-'

"Call me when you're ready." Dewey leaves the room, not even looking at me.

I need to find Athena. Now. I need her help to move on, and... I just want my sister back.

LOUIE POV

Zombies.

Great.

"Why did it have to be zombies?!" I yell as Emma and I tried to barricade the door.

I could hear the zombie grunt, moan, and scratch at the door in front of us as it tried to push its way inside.

"Stop being such a baby!" Emma shouted back.

I freeze at that and slowly turn to stare at the crazy girl.

This girl- who practically started screaming at the sight of a bat - Was telling me to stop being a baby?

At a sight of a freaking flesh eating zombie?!

I watch as Emma slowly slid her backpack off and crouched down. She kept her eyes locked in the door as the zombie on the other side started to slamming itself against it, trying to get at us.

She untied her bag and dug inside. I tensed when she slowly started to pull put something, thinking it might be a gun, but no, it was just 

"A grenade?!" I shriek in panic. "You planning on blowing us up?!"

"Just shut up, will ya?!" Emma snarled, as she used her teeth to pull the pin from the grenade.

I jump back as she pull her arm back and aimed the grenade at the door.

"You sure you aren't related to GlomGold?" I ask, calming down just a bit when I realize what she was planning to do.

Emma looked at me sharply just as the zombie pried opend part of the door, leaving just enough gap to reach out for us, but not quite.

"Hell no." She snapped them jerked her head back to the zombie and tossed the grenade at it.

She then whirled around quickly and used her forearm to jam it at my throat before slamming us to the ground, practically choking me just as the grenade went off and blasted the whole half of the wall, including, the zombie.
