Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse
Chapter one: The day before it all began.
"Get him! Get him! KILL HIM!"
I pressed the buttons on the controller like mad. I had a 113 kill streak. Charlotte, my best friend, was cheering me on. Somewhere in the kitchen I heard my mother yell "OI! Keep it down!"
"But its Modern Warfare 2 mum! I'm winning!" I replied
Charlotte just laid there giggling at me. She always thinks it's funny when I get in trouble. I gave her a playful shove.
"Just play Dead Island." She says.
"Just one more!" I say.
"PLAY DEAD ISLAND I SAID"
"WHY?"
"WHAT IF THERE WAS A REAL ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE WHAT WOULD YOU DO? WE NEED TO BE READY MAN!"
"ZOMBIE APOCALYPSES ARE A MYTH! THEY'RE NOT REAL! JEEZ"
"BUT W-"
"OI! WHAT DID I SAY?"
We had done it. Mum didn't even have to say anything. I got up, grumpily walked over to the Xbox360, and pushed the OFF button. I thumped back on the sofa. Charlotte was rolling on the floor in uncontrollable laughter. When she had finally stopped, she said "Now what?"
My brother walked in, tapped the X-box360 button, put the disk for Left for Dead on, and sat down.
I was furious.
"Really..?" I said.
"No-ones using It." he replies.
/knock knock/
"That'll be Jordan!" I jump up.
Me and Charlotte ran past the kitchen, mum yelled "And where do you think you're going?"
We ignored her, we opened the door, and sure enough there stood Jordan.
I opened my mouth to say something but mum walked over to where we all stood "And who is this?"
I stuttered." u-uuh. M-Mum this is Jordan. Jordan this is mom."
I attempt to run off into the lounge but mum grabs my shoulder. "Hey, you still haven't told me who Jordan is." she says
Charlotte murmured "Awkward"
I racked my brains trying to find something to say.
Jordan (to my rescue) says with a straight face "She's my wife."
Charlotte and I start cracking up.
Mom walks off shaking her head.
I basically drag Jordan inside, and then we all run upstairs to my room.
"Did you bring it?" Charlotte said to Jordan
"Sure did" He replies.
He opens his bag and pulls out an xbox360. I plug it into my TV in my room; we all jump onto the bed, connect the controllers and put on Call of Duty, Black ops. We were going to play multiplayer Zombies and take turns.
We're all pretty good at it, and kick ass at killing zombies. We had a bet; first one to die loses the bet. $5 each game.
"BRING IT ON" Charlotte yells as it's my turn to face her. She died in a heartbeat.
"I wasn't ready!" That was her excuse. But she hands over 5 bucks.
"Thank you!"
Now I was facing Jordan. He beats me easily. But I demanded a rematch. Now that I knew what I was up against, I could beat him. We decided it was fair to call off the bets, because in the end, I did ask for a rematch.
"Holy shit it's eight already." Charlotte said suddenly.
"I got to go. Dad's going to kill me." Jordan says, as he hugs me goodbye. He packs up the Xbox and leaves in a hurry.
"I'm tired" Charlotte says
"Hah same"
We had been up all night the night before; Charlotte had been at my house for 3 nights now. And tonight was her last night she was allowed. We needed sleep. So we decided to crash.
I don't know when Charlotte fell asleep; all I know was that I was studying the back of my eyelids for 12 hours.
