One thing I hate and that is a love triangle. Another thing I hate is a love parallelogram. Now that during a zombie apocalypse in a huge heavy duty RV, is ridiculous. I'm eighteen year old Luna Hayten. I've been driving in this RV with my friend, Lizzi and her twenty year old boyfriend Steve. Now we have been in this thing with weapons and food for a couple of months if you count the stops we made to restock. As we were trying to find a prison to live in during this we encountered eight survivors. The one I like is a country boy who is twenty three and he has his eyes set on someone else. She loves someone else and he loves her back but what Ellis can't realize is that I like him and Zoey doesn't love him back. Before the eight survivors came along I was a mellow, optimistic, stubborn, opinionated person. After they came here I became more depressed because the guy I liked didn't like me back. I mean I think I'm pretty. I have long wavy black hair, with bright green eyes I'm average built with curves in the right places with a height of 5'5. The only thing was why was I in the friend zone? I would stay up with him when it was his shift. We had shifts of when people would drive and rest because we had no time for resting whatsoever. Ellis usually worked nights and I stayed up with him and went to sleep not by him though since he went to sleep near Zoey. I sometimes would cry myself to sleep at night since he didn't notice me like a girlfriend.

It was another night and I was hanging out with Ellis while he was driving."Whatcha drawing Lu?" Ellis asked. It was his nickname for me. "A couple." I told him. "What couple?" He asked. "A random couple." I told him. I somewhat lied to Ellis about the random couple. It was Ellis and I cuddling. I wanted to us to be together so bad. "So have any awesome dreams?" I asked him continuing the conversation. "Yeah I dreamed of Zoey and I cuddling and having a good time." He told me. "That sounds fun." I told him. Oh why couldn't he see that Francis and Zoey are together. Why? It just killed me but I put on my 'happy' smile. "How bout you?" He asked me. 'Yes' "No." I told him. I yawned and he looked at me. "You gonna make it tonight?" He asked me. "I won't bail out on you. I took a nap this afternoon and if I bail out it was a waste of a nap." I told him.

"Alrighty." He told me.

We sat in silence until Nick came up. Ellis stopped as he got out of the drivers seat and I got up and followed him to where mostly everyone was sleeping. I grabbed my pillow and blanket and smiled at Ellis. "Night Lu." He told me. "Night Ellis." I told him. I went to the couch where I slept because I couldn't bare seeing Ellis sleep next to Zoey. I fell asleep. "Luna run!" My mother said as she was fending for herself. That was when Steve pulled up in the RV.

"MOM! DAD! TIM!" I called as Lizzi dragged me away from them. "We love you Luna." My dad yelled. "Live for us dear." My mom said. I struggled with Lizzi to go back but I was pulled into the RV crying as I watched my family die.

I woke up screaming. I saw Louis run to my side and tears started coming down my face. "Luna what happened?" He asked me concerned. "It-It happened again." I told him. "They wanted you to live Luna. You have to stay strong okay?" He asked. I simply nodded. "Will ya keep it down some of us are trying to sleep!" Nick yelled. I whipped away my tears and cleaned up my bed and threw it on Nick. Nick and I were always fighting with each other. We never got along. He teased me for my crush and I hated him because of that. Sometimes he was so annoying. Ugh! I grabbed a green sundress from my clothing pile and changed into it in the bathroom. I grabbed my dirty clothes and I put them back in my clothes pile. I grabbed my sketch book and started to finish Ellis and I on the table near the windows. When I looked up I saw Ellis come from the bedroom and he went to sit next to me. I quickly went to working on the sketch of a kitten. Louis sat across from me and smiled. 'Shut up Louis.' I mouthed. He shrugged innocently. Louis was my buddy and one of the survivors I was really close to. I went to him for advice about anything because he was older and I trusted him. I looked over at Ellis and smiled. "You look nice today Lu." He told me. "Thanks Ellis." I told him. I blushed from his compliment. My heart was pounding because I was so nervous around him."So whatcha drawing Lu?" He asked. "A kitten." I told him. "You draw animals too?" He asked me. "Yes I like to switch it up from time to time. Drawing the same thing all the time gets boring. You want it?" I asked him as I held up the half finished kitten."If that's okay." He told him. "It's fine. At least I can give my drawings to someone who wants them." I told him. "Why did no one wanted your drawings?" He asked me.

"It's a long story." I told him. The thought of my parents always wanting my artwork came up and I held back the tears."Okay." He told me. He was so respectful towards me another think why I liked him. I continued to draw until Louis left for his shift. I went to the back of the book where I had various poems and short stories. I took out a regular pencil and started to write a new story about a girl who looses her family in a terrible fire and she sets out to get revenge. Ellis sat silently besides me and watched me write. "You sure like to write too Lu." He told me. "Yep." I told him. Hopefully being on this journey with Ellis nothing awkward would happen but I spoke too late.
