The real zombie apocalypse was not like the movies. At least it did not start out the same way. In the movies things happen fast and people catch on fast. Here in L.A. they said it was just a virus, that they would find a cure. So far that has not happened and it has been eleven months. I have been keeping track by writing in a journal every day. It is this only thing that keeps me sane. I have literally spent the last eleven months with my mother, step-father, brother and step-brother 24/7. Well just about 24/7.
Shortly after we realized what was happening to the world we left land to be on a boat. My brother met this weird guy when he was detoxing and he invited my family and I to stay with him on his boat because he thought it was safer to be on the water then to be on land with the walkers. He was right for the most part but we did run into trouble on the water. There was a group of people that tried to take our boat away from us. That was the first time that I shot a gun. I honestly did not think that I had it in me but I guess when it is life or death people will surprise themselves. That was also the first time that I saw someone die and turn into a walker. I guess everyone is infected. There is no way that we can come back from this.
The boat took some heavy damage during the fight but luckily we all made it out alive. Victor was pissed that his supper expensive boat was ruined. Travis said that he would do everything that he could to fix the boat but we needed to dock in order for him to fix the boat. So we went to land, we had no other choice. When we docked we tried to stay by the shore because the plan was always to go back to the water. The water is safer than staying on land, there are no walkers on the water. Well just under the water sometimes but they cannot climb on to the boat.
About a week after we docked I saw a person, a person who was alive and not a walker. She was beautiful. She moved so majestically the way that she used the trees and her surroundings to avoid the walkers. I knew I had to meet her. I have been watching her for about two weeks and I'm starting to feel like a creep. Today is the day though, today I am going to sneak away and meet her. I hope that she is not dangerous. Maybe I should ask Nick or Chris to go with me? They are my brothers though and might try to stop me and if they don't try to stop me they will make fun of me for having a 'crush' on this random girl. I don't even know if I like girls. I know that I like guys but can I be attracted to both? Or maybe it is just her? Is she just special?
I don't know but I do know that I should not go alone. I am going to ask Nick. He might understand better than Chris. Nothing against Chris it's just I grew up with Nick and he has been though a lot, I think that he will judge me less for stocking and crushing on this random blonde girl.
"Hey Nick." I'm trying to as calm as possible but I am so scared what if he says no and go tells my mom I could never meet my mystery blond.
"What's up?" He says as he lifts his head up to look at me. He was reading some old magazine that he took when we were searching through a Walgreens for food.
"Can I talk to you in private?" I say quietly and making sure that no one else heard me. He nods his head and we walk to my room on the boat. I close the door behind us. Still making sure no one can hear me "Nick I know that this is going to sound crazy but we are not alone. There is the girl that I have seen every other day. She always comes alone. I want…. I want to go meet her. Nick you got to see the way that she moves, so effortlessly." I think Nick might be speechless or maybe just is trying to understand what I am saying. "I want to go meet her, today. I'm asking you to come with me."
Nick runs his hand through his hair and lets out a soft sigh. "Well I'm not letting you do this alone. You are going to get yourself killed, and you are not leaving me alone with them."
I hug him I don't really know why but I am just so excited that I finally get to meet this gorgeous blond women. Now we need a plan away to sneak out without anyone noticing. This could be tricky but Nick doesn't look worried at all. He walks out of my room and I follow close behind. We are heading towards were we keep the guns. We will need protection. He grabs a handgun and sticks it in the back of his pants and I do the same. Now the tricky part we get off the boat without anyone noticing all we have to do is make it about a hundred feet and we will be under the cover of the trees. We can do this…..
