"HUH" Noah gasped for air as his eyes jolted open in a split second. "Ugh. Bad dream, I guess." He said to looked around the room for about three seconds, then it hit him hard.
Olivia was missing. Noah got up, put on some jeans, and ran throughout the lounge. "OLIVIA! WHERE ARE YOU?!" He yelled out loud. He ran past a trophy case, then stopped. He turned to it, and peered through the glass.
A baseball bat was lying inside of the case. He grabbed a soda from the drink machine, and he bashed the case wide open, grabbing the baseball bat and continuing his search for Olivia.
She was nowhere to be found. By this time, Noah was going ballistic. Why would she just run out of the lounge like that? It just didn't make sense to Noah, no matter how he tried to look at it.
He opened the door of the lounge, and walked out. He peered through the hallway, and started walking slowly, his bat gripped tightly in his fists, ready to attack if needed.
Surprisingly, the hallway was dead quiet. There was a lot of blood on the ground, but no bodies. "What the hell is going on?" He asked himself, as if he knew the answer.
"Mmmph" He turned around quickly. The sound of a muffle came from the classroom he was standing next to. "What the hell was that?" He asked once again. He peered through the window of the door.
On the other side, there was a figure strapped to a chair. He could tell it was obviously a girl, by her bust size and body figure. She had a burlap sack over her head, so he couldn't tell who she was.
He then saw a boy around his age walk up to her. "Shut the fuck up, bitch! Do you want them to find us? They'll kill us!" The man said violently. Noah could tell that this guy meant business.
Noah gripped his baseball bat, and shoved the door open as hard as he could. He busted into the room in an instant, and charged the boy, who was thrown off-guard in shock.
Noah slammed into his stomach as hard as he could. The boy fell down in a short burst of agony. Noah got back up, and looked at the boy. It was Parker Cuevas, a kid that hated Noah.
"JUST WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Parker screamed, as if he was an innocent bystander. "You kidnapped that girl and tied her up. Do you think you can just do that to people and get away with it?" Noah demanded.
"THIS IS NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS, NOAH. YOU ALWAYS BUDGE IN! THAT'S WHY I HATE YOU!" Parker yelled. Noah walked next to him, gripped his bat, and slammed it onto Parker's kneecaps.
Parker yelped in agonizing pain as Noah did it three more times. "Listen here, you little shit. You have no power in this situation. I could end your pathetic life right now, and nobody would care or miss you. You WILL talk to me with respect, or else I'll bust your head open like a goddamn watermelon." Noah said calmly.
Parker looked at Noah nervously. "O-Okay! I'm sorry!" He said. "Who's the girl, and why do you have her?" Noah questioned. "Sh-She just, just, I- I just wanted to have some fun." Parker said, trying to explain himself. "Your fun has run out."
Noah grabbed the top of the burlap sack, and pulled it off. It was Olivia. She was okay, and she was relieved to see him. He was about to untie her when Parker stabbed him in the shoulder with a pencil.
"Rhaa!" Noah squealed as he fell down. Parker, still limping, looked at Noah with fierceness. "Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?" Parker demanded.
"Just some bitch." Noah said. He kicked Parker in his bad kneecap, making Parker fall to the ground once again. Noah jumped up, picked up the bat, and bashed it on Parker's genitals repeatedly.
Parker was finished. He was coughing up blood, and was in so much pain that he had passed out for a couple of seconds, before returning to reality and crying.
Noah gripped the bat in his hand, raised it high above his head, and swung it as hard as he could. It crashed on Parker's head, effectively killing him.
Noah ripped the pencil out of his shoulder with force. The wound didn't seem to be as bad as it felt. He ran to Olivia's aid, as she was watching what just happened in fear.
"Are you okay?" Noah asked, unbinding her wrists. "I-I'm fine. Thank you. He grabbed me whilst we were sleeping in the lounge. I had no time to yell for help." She explained.
"Well, you're safe now. Let's get out of here." Noah said. As they were walking away, they heard a small noise. "Come on. Let's keep moving!" Noah said. "We aren't safe here."
He pulled Olivia along. They ran through the hall, passing the empty classrooms with blood all over the scene. "Come on. Let's see if there are any cars that we can take." Noah said. "Yeah." Olivia agreed.
They ran to the front office, where they peered through the window. The roads were surprisingly quiet, but there were cars and items scattered all over the place. There were crashed vehicles, and corpses on the pavement with blood splattered everywhere.
A tear dropped down Olivia's face, as she saw what had happened to her town. She turned to Noah, and hugged him as hard as she could. "I know. It's going to be alright." He said.
They opened the front doors of the school, and walked out. There was a parking lot directly in front of them. "Let's go see if we can get our hands on a car." Noah said. "Yeah." Olivia agreed.
They walked to the parking lot, where they saw a car that looked intact. "That one. I know how to hot wire cars. My cousin showed me before. We should take it." Noah said. He walked up to it and attempted to open the door.
It was locked. "Fuck." He said out loud. He looked on the ground for an object to bust the window open. There he saw it. It was a thick rock. He grabbed it, and threw it at the window, effectively shattering it.
He walked up to the window, and reached his hand in. He unlocked the car door. "Hop in." He said to Olivia. "O-Ok." She replied, still confused about the day before and still in shock.
She got in the passenger seat, and Noah hot wired the car. It started without having any issues. He reversed out of the parking lot, and got onto the highway. There were cars everywhere. "I sure hope we don't hit one of these." He said.
"Hey Noah..." Olivia started. "Yeah?" He asked. "Are you scared with what's been going on? I just hope my family's okay." Olivia said. "I'm sure your family is just fine. And no, I'm not worried. Because I know that we'll be okay, and the government will sort this out." He said.
"Yeah. Where are we going?" Olivia asked "Just to my parents' house. My mom just went shopping, so we have tons of food to wait this thing out." Noah replied joyfully.
Olivia smiled. In the worst of situations, Noah always seemed to look at the upside of things, and he was never serious about the situation. He made things a lot better than what they actually were.
As they were crossing a bridge, they heard something in the back of the car. "It's probably just some suitcases or something. After all, we did go to a private school." Noah said as Olivia got worried. "Yeah. You're right." Olivia then shut her eyes, and drifted off.
Noah looked to his left. He noticed the clear crystal water under the bridge, and thought of how he and his family used to go to the beach on nice summer days to relax and go swimming.
As he was looking through the glass, he noticed something in the reflection of the mirror. "RHAA!" The walker in the back of the car leaped right behind Olivia's seat before she could even fully react what had yelled.
It grabbed Olivia in an instant. With Noah not reacting fast enough, it groped Olivia's face from behind her seat, and ripped a huge chunk right out of her neck. Olivia's eyes were wide open, with tears running down her face as blood rushed out of her.
"OLIVIA!" Noah yelled as loud as he could. He grabbed the walker, forcefully busted the window of the backseat car open with it's head, and kicked it out of the car. As he turned back to Olivia to see if she was okay, his eyes got huge.
In an instant, the car swerved off of the bridge. The last thing Noah saw before falling unconscious was Olivia's corpse flying out of the windshield, and the car plummeting into the ocean.
