Life Sucks

Underground

I awoke to the loud voice of my best friend. I can't believe we made it a year in this s**t. I didn't want to wake up. I wanted to sleep longer, I am just so tired.

"Jessie!! wake up! there is a hoard of walkers and chin-spliters heading towards the camp." Tara ordered

"Okay okay I'm up now." I was concerned about the hoards. we haven't been able to excpe them. they just show up randomly. we got to move now if we're going to make it out of this supermarket. There was only 4 of us that was hard enough.

.

"okay guys let's find a way to the park," I pointed on the map "that's about 3 blocks..." I sighed

.

It's okay we got this Jess!" max said

I smiled at him he was only 17 years old. The kid already lost everything. He was a scruffy hair boy with brown eyes he stood maybe like 5"7. he wasn't tall but he is smart. he makes all the hand bomb and brain splitters, to off the dead with, hes the kindest on the team.

.

"Thanks Max." I smiled "do we have enough bombs to make it those 3 blocks?"

.

"Well I have to make about 10 to 25 if we want to be safe." he says proudly

.

"Okay. Hey Sam, How are we on food and water!?" I shout to her in the back

.

"We got enough for about 2 weeks!" she shouts back damn I thought we had more then that... Sam is probably the prettiest girl I've seen in forever. She's got strawberry blonde hair that comes down to her waist with crystal lightning eyes that can look through you. She's actually a little taller than Max. She's the reason we are able to keep food and we don't pig out. She's a great listener and never fails to remember everyone birthday. She is the 'mom' of the group. Making sure everyone is eating correctly, washing the clothes, making sure everyone hydrated.

.

"Okay well pack it up and prepare the horses to carry out the food and water." I ordered I look to my best friend. Her glowing eyes now dim. The smile and jokes she use to pull all the time is now gone. Shes been looking for her mother. Just like how I'm looking for my little sister. I hope she's okay. We need to make it to the park at least in the next 5 hours. We should find a tornado shelter there. it's underground and I'm pretty sure it's abandoned.

.

"Hey Jess...." Tara starts "you think we'll ever see our family again?"

.

"I..." sigh "I don't know lovely but I'm sure we will find them they are smart and strong. I know they will make it." I smiled warmly at her. I miss how it use to be. with no worries in the world. I'd be in collage and probably have a boyfriend by now. I miss my normal life.

.

"This is everything we can carry on the horses. I also have extra in everyone's backpack also two bottles of water for each of us." Sam says as she puts the backpacks down "There's also two pairs of socks for each of us left so we need to find more of those. Don't need anyone dying of foot rot." she laughs and we all laugh with her. It's good to keep your spirits high. otherwise you'll go crazy trying to stay sane. Well we got 4 hours until the horad reaches us so we better get moving.

.

"Alright you guys. you know the drill. Sam and Max on the horses. It's me and you, Tara, let's bust these walkers heads open!!"
