Chapter 4
Sonny's POV
I kept running. Further and further away. I finally stopped running. I caught my breath back. I was stood in the pitch black with no car or anything. And cannibalistic monsters who eat you are everywhere. I started to cry. Hot babyish tears dribbled down my cheeks. ''Chad?...Where are you?'' I moaned. All i wanted was for Chad to hug me and tell me everything was going to be fine. But it wasent... The world was never going to be the same again. Neither was my life. I stepped on a branch. It made me jump in fright. I got out my phone and tried Tawn's phone. No answer. I was stranded in the middle of god knows where. To stop myself from freaking out i stuck my earphones in my ears and clicked on a random song on my phone. A sweet smooth song came on. Then i recognised it. Chad played it when we had that secret prom. I remembered the sweet glint in his eye. Suddenly i heard a noise. I whipped my earphones out of my ears and began to run. The noise was following me. It sounded like...breathing. I continued to run. My breathing got faster and faster untill...I tripped. I went flying down hill. I must of ran into the woods without realising. I continued to roll down the hill. Then i stopped. I stood up automaticly looking round. The noise had gone.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked where i was. I was on a small riverbank. It seemed familiar. I followed the river slowly. Memories flooded my mind:
*Start of memory*
''Chad! Stop it!'' I laughed. Chad continued splashing me repeatedly. My cast couldent stop laughing. It was a warm Summer's day. The sun was shining and we had come here for a lovley picnic and swim. Me and Chad had meant to go on our own. To celebrate out two month anniversary dating. But my cast had begged and begged. So finally i gave up. Me and Chad were waistdeep in the river splashing eachother. Tawni and Zora were sunbathing. Nico and Grady were multi tasking. Stuffing food in their mouths and building a tire swing at the same time. ''Hey Sonny!...watch this!'' Chad shouted. He got on the riverbank and grinned at me. ''Bet i can do a cannonball!'' He boasted. I laughed and stood up. ''Oh yeah!'' I said folding my arms. He smiled. ''Yeah!'' He said.
Then he held his nose and cannonballed into the warm lake soaking Tawni and Zora. ''Chad!'' They both moaned. I laughed. ''Show off!'' I shouted.
*End of Memory*
I blinked and stared at the water. It was green and slimy. I continued to follow the river untill i came to a narrow road. I looked ahead for zombies. Then i spotted a car. Yes it was a car! It was at the side of the road next to the lake. Someone had abandoned it. Most likely dead now. I bit my lip and looked for the keys. I needed those keys.
