Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter Two: That morning. Part 2

Jade had been to my house once, but never inside it. We had been alright friends, not the best of, but the kind where you talk and everything, but hardly ever hang out.

I decided to take her on a tour around the house. I started upstairs, walked into the master bedroom and announced,

"This is my room. Mum gave it to me when it was my birthday this year."

"Wow! I'd kill for a master bedroom." Jade said.

I showed her the bathroom, living room, and the kitchen. The main rooms used in the house.

We all went to the storage closet, pulled out a couple of mattresses and hauled them upstairs to my room. I pulled off a couple of blankets off my bed and gave them to Jade.

"Here, you can use these. I have way too many"

"Thanks!"

I glanced at the time, 11:04.

I started to wonder where Mum was.

At that moment my brother had opened his door, rubbing his eyes.

"Wow, early much?" I remarked.

He sneered at me and carried on his walk to the kitchen, followed by a,

"What did you do in here?"

I let out a gasp as I remembered the bowls I had dropped.

"I - I fell!"

I made my way into the kitchen and was astounded at the amount of broken china everywhere.

"Mum's going to kill you, you know that right?" Lance, my brother, said.

"Shut up. It was an accident."

I got out the brush and shovel, and swept up the remains of the bowl. I emptied it into the bin, before making my way back into the lounge.

"I feel like V" I suddenly said, "Anyone keen to go to the shop?"

"Sure!" Jade and Charlotte said at the same time.

Just as we were about to get up, Jade clapped a hand to her mouth.

"Jade? Are you okay?" Charlotte said.

"I'm fine." She replied.

She stood up, followed by a horrible retching sound, and ran to the bathroom.

Me and Charlotte exchanged glances and ran after her.

"Let it out. Come on, let it all out. You'll feel better soon." I said, whilst patting her back.

"Oh god, I feel horrible."

I handed her a paper towel and a breath mint.

"Here."

"Thanks. You're a really great friend."

Charlotte stepped into the bathroom.

"So, I guess this means no going to the shop?"
