A/N- lordseanington here! First off I would like to say that I am a newish fanfic writer. Please comment or give feedback. I could really use it. Thank you! A big thank you to rosariaszelza, who proofed my work.

It was a hot summer's day in Phoenix, Arizona.

"Jack!" he heard someone yell from outside of his room. He just rolled over and ignored the person calling. His mother walked in and said,

"Jack, you know you can't sleep all day, you have Jennifer's birthday party to go to."

He instantly flew out of bed. 'Oh shit, I forgot the part!' he thought to himself. A few minutes later a 16 year old boy walked out of his room with a pair of grey shorts, a purple T-Shirt, and a major case bed head.

"So your finally up, Jack. It's nearly 11:00", his mother nagged.

Jack rubbed his eyes and said, "Sorry mom, I was up late last night".

"Playing video games I bet", she said irritated.

Jack just ignored the comment and got ready for the party. He combed his messy hair, took a shower, and was soon driving off to the part. Arriving at the party at 12:10, he walked up to the small house and knocked on the door. Jenifer's mother opened the door and let him inside. There he found people of all ages socializing together.

He walked up to a small group of people and said with a smile, "Happy Birthday Jennifer."

A blond 15 year old girl replied jokingly, "Fashionably late as always."

He gave a light chuckle and soon they were lost in conversation as the party continued.

As they talked, Jack thought to himself, 'I'm finally going to ask Jenifer out tonight!' They had known each other since pre-school and Jack has always had a crush on her. He just hoped she felt the same way. Suddenly out of no where Jack's best friend, Mike, popped in and said, "Hi, nice party you have here Jenifer."

"Thank you," she replied. After talking for a few minutes, Mike turned back towards Jack.

"Jack, can you help me pull something out of my car for me", Mike asked.

Not waiting for a response, Mike dragged Jack out onto the front lawn.

"So are you gonna to ask Jenifer out tonight?", Mike asked with a grin and wink.

"That's what you pulled me out for!" he yelled, furious.

Jack had known Mike for a while and they were good friends, but he was still pissed off that he was pulled away from Jenifer for something stupid like this. He probably would've minded less if he did actually need help with something,

Sighing, knowing the anger wouldn't change Mike's mood, he said, "Yeah, I plan on asking her out."

He then left Mike in favor of returning to the party, were he had an amazing time. He had a lot of funny with Jennifer, and at 8:00 he walked up to Jenifer and asked,

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, what's up", she responded. He quickly pulled away from every one else and looked at her nervously.

"I was just wondering if you might want to-" he was suddenly cut off when a car came crashing through the wooden fence on the side of the yard. Quickly reacting, he pushed Jenifer out of the way and jumped out of the way himself. The car hit the tree with a thud as everybody was scrambling away from the vehicle.

Getting up, Jack looked around frantically. "Jennifer, are you okay?!"

Disoriented, she said, "What the fuck just happened."

They looked over at the car and a man wearing paramedics uniform stumbled out of it, with large gashes across him and a shard of glass sticking out of his left arm. He was discombobulated and fell to the floor. Everybody started crowding around, and a few began panicking. A large puddle of blood formed under him while he was bleeding profusely. Both of Jenifer's parents ran up after they heard the screams and scouted out the situation. Instantly someone pulled out a cell phone.

"I'm getting a busy signal", they yelled, growling in frustration.

"Try 911 then!" Jack screamed.

"I did! It's not working!"

Quickly Jenifer's father ran up with a first aid kit. He checked the mans pulse and grimly said, "He's gone"

Jack sat next to Jenifer trying to comfort her. She was hyperventilating but Jack finally got her to calm down.

"Don't worry, your safe now", he soothed as he hugged her.

All of a sudden they all heard more car crashes coming from the streets around them. Everyone else began to panic again but Jack kept a cool façade. Jack picked up Jenifer bridal style and ran inside of the house.,

"Everyone just get inside! There might be a riot," he yelled at the others. Everyone quickly followed him inside and all doors and windows were locked. They flicked on the news channel to find a warning message already playing.

'This can't be right?' he thought in alarm. "Apparently a large group of homicidal cannibals have attacked the downtown area of Phoenix."

They began showing video of what was going on. Jack took one look and knew exactly what was going on. He had played too many video games and watched too many movies not to know what they were. He started to break down in horror while the rest were watching the ravenous monsters ripping large hunks of flesh off unsuspecting victims. Jack finally snapped. "TURN THE FUCKING TV OFF!" he cried out.

The T.V. was quickly shut off as silence took over. There was suddenly a banging at the door. Jack realizing his situation put his hand in his pocket grasping a butterfly knife. Suddenly the door was ripped clean through by one of the bloodthirsty monsters. It was covered in blood and had soulless eyes. It screeched the moment it noticed the large group of people and charged at them. It came running at Jack, but he quickly pulled the knife out of his pocket and stabbed it. He looked past the thing and cursed.

A large horde was rushing towards the door. He quickly backed off, grabbed Jenifer's hand, and ran out through the back door. Everyone else stood there, trying to process what had just occurred. Finally one of the boys had noticed the oncoming hoard, but it was already too late. Jack and Jenifer were gone and the rest had nothing to protect themselves with. The hoard quickly swooped in began to attack everyone. They were zombie chow.

"What's going on", Jenifer wailed as they continued to run.

Jack looked back at his friends hopelessly but continued to run. There was only one explanation for all of this. "Zombies."
