Chapter 1
*Three months before the infection*
"I'm telling you guys, the end is closer than you think!" Timothy Macintosh ranted,
"Oh really? How fascinating." I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes,
"And just, when exactly is the end coming?" My friend Rosie asked,
"In three months!"
Everyone burst out laughing, "He's crazy!" Someone in the crowd shouted,
"Oh Timothy." I said and walked up to him, "I think some things you should keep to yourself... Like, thinking the world is gonna end for instance, keep that to yourself. People are going to think you're... Crazy. I'm just saying, it'll be better for everyone." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Tim adjusted his glasses, "I'm not crazy Sophia, I know my facts."
"Yeah yeah, just... Next time, get them straight."
"They are straight, I'm not crazy!" I rolled my eyes and walked away, "When you all die in the end, don't say I didn't tell you so!" He called back to us. To this day I still don't know how he predicted the apocalypse.
*Present*
Ellis sat me down on the floor of the helicopter, my chest was killing me, a lot more than my leg did, "Okay, tell me, why did you hide the food from us?" Nick asked,
I groaned, "Not. Now. Nick!"
"Yes, now. You were being selfish."
"Yeah sure, we can talk about it later."
"Nick, she's injured, just leave her alone." Ellis said.
Nick looked at Rochelle and Coach, "We're not getting into this right now Nick." Coach finalized,
Nick rolled his eyes, "Fine, whatever, but when you all die from hunger, its because of her." He walked toward the back of the chopper.
Rochelle knelt down next to me, "You hurt more than just your leg didn't you?"
"I didn't..."
"It was Bianca! She's the one who broke Sophia." Ellis said,
"Bianca?" Rochelle asked and pulled out a first aid kit from my bag,
"Yeah, but Sophia took care of her."
"Okay, take off your shirt." Rochelle said,
"What?"
"Isn't that where you're hurt?"
"Yeah... But I don't think I'm comfortable-"
"You took your shirt off in front of him didn't you?" She gestured to Ellis.
We both blushed, "Nick! You said you wouldn't say anything!" He smirked, I sighed and pulled off my shirt.
Ellis blushed a deeper red, "Oh wow." Rochelle said,
"What?" I looked down and saw a giant bruise that started under my bra and expanded to right above my stomach,
"Bianca did that?"
"Yeah, that crazy bitch stomped on me."
Rochelle wrapped it up in gauze, "I'm not sure how much that will help, but it's something."
"Thanks." Suddenly the helicopter jerked, "What was that?" I asked. A zombie came out from the front of the chopper,
"The pilot is a zombie!" Ellis exclaimed, the pilot started running at us but Nick put a bullet through his head, "Nick!" Ellis scolded,
"He was a zombie Ellis."
The chopper took a nosedive to the ground, everyone screamed as we plummeted and ended with an ear-splitting crash.
