I guess the way we met wasen't odd even if our relationship was. My life didn't go exactly how i planned it. I didn't plan on getting pregnant at 16 I also didnt plan on the world ending. So 6 months pregnant and here I was hiding behind a abandoned car holding my breath as 2 skitters walked down the road cheacking to see if there was anyone alive. I squeezed my eyes closed thinking about my life which had sucked even before the alein apocalypse about my baby that was never gonna see its first birthday or take its first breath. I started to shake as the skitters moved closer it was right on top of me. Suddenly there was a spray of bullets and I heard the skitter scream then fall. I open my eyes as I heard someone give out a loud yell of triumph. He was about 5'7 with shoulder lenth brown hair,He was wearing biker boots blue jeans and a leather jacket. He stood in the middle of the street shotting wildly at the skitters. His eyes fell on 'me Come on run dammit" I shot to my feet grabbing my bag and ran twords him as fast as I could. Barreling past him I turned down a alley not cheaking to see if he followed me or not,I turned left and pushed faster as the familer white and gray truck came into veiw. I hurriedly opened the door and hoisted myself into the seat fumbling for the keys I turned the key and it clicked before rumbling to life. I saw the guy who saved me turn the corner running tworeds me and my hand grabbed the gear ready to put it in drive and haul ass out of there. But he had saved my life. Sighing I leaned over and threw open the passenger door."Come on hurry". He jumped into the truck and I was speding off before he had even shut his door. There were 2 skitters behind us and he opened the back window quickly picking them off with the M4 in his hand before leaning back agaisnt the seat and closing his eyes. I focused on the road trying to stop shaking that had been close to close I took a deep breath threw my nose. and galnced over at him "Your crazy" I stated looking between him and the road. He lifted his head to look at me and I noticed how increadbly hot he was."Your Pregnant".

I rolled my eyes and he glanced around. "Turn left up here". "And why should I do that". He raised his eyebrow "cause I know a place we can stay it's to close to dark to try to make it out of the city so unless you have a better idea" I sighed he was right we would never make it out of the city. I listend to his directions and soon we pulled up to a old falling down house in the middle of nowhere there was a old tire swing hanging from a tree and a rundown playset in the front yard. I cut the engine and we sat in silence. "How did you know this was here"
he didn't look at me as he opened the door and hopped out "It was my house" He slammed the door and started for the house. I grabbed my bag and hurried after him. I walked in and he shut and locked the door behind me. He walked up the stairs and I stood akwarly at the bottom not sure what to do. He glanced down at me"you coming or what". I moved my bag to the other shoulder and followed him. He walked to the third door and opened it to reveal a bedroom it was plain and only contained a mattress on the floor and a dresser walking to the other side of the room he open the door to reveal a small bathroom. He smiled at me "Lady First" I rolled my eyes and walked past him into the bathroom setting my bag on the floor I turned around to face him. Whats your name",John Pope he popped the ps. "Well nice ta meet ya im Nova Lee Cobain but you can call me Lee everyone does. Well im not everyone sweetheart and imma call you NovaLee and with that he shut the door and walked away.

I stood there for a minute listening to the sound of his footsteps going down the stairs before peeling of my dirty clouthes and stepping into the shower. It was cold but I haden't showered in god knose how long and it was just what I needed. Getting out and rapping a towel I had found under the sink around me I stared at myself in the mirror my long blond hair was frizzy and I was skinny than I had ever been even with the baby weight my skin was pale and there was purple bags around my eyes I looked like a corpse. Sighing I got dressed in a old tshirt groaning when I found of my pj pants didn't fit anymore. I walked into the bedroom and rumaged threw the drawers untill I found some old flannel pants slipping them on I went to shut the drawer but something blocked it I picked it up turned it over in my hands it was a photo album the cheap ones you get at gas stations. I glanced at the door listening to John move around down stairs 1 peek wouldn't hurt.

I opened it and was meet with a picture of John a baby only a few hours old wrapped in a pink blanket cradled in his arms he was smiling down at it. Next was a picture of a little girl with brown hair and no teeth smiling as she sat on the tire swing then 1 of John and the little girl she was sitting on his shoulders.

I went to turn the page when Johns footsteps sounded on the stairs. I shut the book and put it back slamming the drawer and turning around just as the door opened and he walked in. He stopped in the doorway to stare at me"are those my pants" I nodded "mine don't fit anymore"
He shurgged and handed me can of beans,a spoon,and a bottle of water all of which I devoured in minutes. He stood in silence as I chugged the last of the water and wiped my mouth. "Thanks"he nodded"ok princess you can have the bed ill sleep on the couch we leave first thing tomorrow. He turned to leave but I grabbed his arm. "can you stay in here its just"I took a deep breath."I don't want to be alone"
He glanced at me before nodding. I layed down on the bed facing the wall and I felt the bed move as he sat down to pull off his boots and layed down next to me. I sighed feeling the familer heat of another body laying next to mine. "Goodnight John" "Night NovaLee" and with that for the first time since the invasion I feel asleep feeling completly safe.
