Chapter 7

Beck's P.O.V

-5 weeks later-

We both ran upstairs, racing each other to the top, pushing each other out the way. I pushed through the door, stepping to the top step.

"I win!" I cheered, taking the small coin of chocolate we had found in one of my uncles drawers and slowly taking the packaging off "I get to eat the chocolate, fair and square"

"Fine" Jessica sulked, her bottom lip popped out and her eye lashes fluttered

"No way...You're not doing that again, I worked very hard for this piece of chocolate" I laughed and with a swipe, she punched my arm, making the chocolate fall out of my hand and into hers

"Finders keepers" She grinned and then stuffed the whole chocolate into her mouth. I just stood there, mouth wide open.

"So, you forgot to tell me you were a ninja..." I chuckled and she raised her hands to the side, kicking the air as high as she could

"Oh really? I would have thought you knew that already" She teased and was about to say something else but Andre and Robbie came up the stairs, holding guns for all of us. We went into the basement a few nights ago and found a whole load of guns and bullets, were pretty stacked up.

"So, no other countries are coming to help us?" Andre asked Robbie

"Nope, they don't want to get involved, they're too scared we'll use nuclear force, so they don't want to take any risks, they've shut down all airports in the whole of the US, no one is getting in or out of this country" Robbie explained and all of us sighed

"What about this country? Are they still telling everyone to go to the shelters?" Jessica asked and we all circled Robbie, he mostly kept up with the news of what was going on

"Yep, the people who control the radio are from the government so they're not going to tell the truth. I also heard that there is a lot of other people like us, people that wont come to the shelters, they're calling us the run away groups, saying that we're going out and killing people and if were spotted to just shoot us on sight...we can't leave this place"

All of us gulped, we were a part of the 'run-aways' the one's who had been warned, we were the one's alive. Robbie sat in the middle on a desk, with a sheet of paper and his radio, jotting down any information he could hear, Andre patrolled the north and the east of the farm and me and Jessica looked over the south and the west, but mostly joked around and punched each other, seeing who could make the biggest bruise. From downstairs, I could hear Tori and Jade laughing, Tori had only started smiling a couple of days ago, when Jade slipped on some fruit juice, from there on Tori had been smiling frequently and everyone realized how much they missed her old self and who would think Jade was the one who brought it out of her!

Downstairs, he could hear another laughter, It was Cat's this time. She was really taking a shining to looking after the girls and gave them everything they needed, she had her own schedule to keep to and had set numerous games for the girls to play every day. We take turns to go down and play with them ourselves, helping Cat out and having a while with them. Overall, living in the house wasn't as hard as it could have been, we have a good system and we're making the most out of a bad situation, that's what Cat says we are doing anyway.

Caught up in my thoughts, It took by surprise when I felt a sharp jab to the side of my leg, I looked around and Jess had karate kicked my leg, I pulled it up and the mark was red and throbbing.

"Yes! That's got to be the biggest so far, if you don't get me back by tomorrow, I win and you have to...Do my shift, while I sit back and watch, fair?" She smirked

"Fine, but If I win, I get to sit back and watch?" I held out my hand and she shook it, winking at me as she did.

-8:00 pm-

"TEA'S UP" Jade shouted from downstairs and everyone ran as fast as they could, hurtling towards the dinner table, Cat had just put the girls down to sleep, so she was already at the table, napkin folded around her neck.

"What's the menu tonight?" Robbie smiled, taking a seat next to Cat.

"Tomato soup from last night...or tomato soup from two weeks ago?" Tori giggled, handing out small plates of tomato soup, luckily my uncle has a lot of canned goods in, and from the food that was stocked up in my RV, we had food to last for a while

"Soup from last night, it is!" Jade smirked, handing out the soup.

Once we had all ate, we retreated to our bedrooms, Me and Jade shared a bed, Cat and Andre and Robbie all sleep in the same room in different beds, Jessica sleeps in her own room with Louise, Darcy and Matilda share a room and Tori sleeps on her own, due to her frequent night terrors.

"Hey babe, how was your day?" I slid in the bed next to Jade, wrapping my arms around her

"It was fine" She sharply replied, moving my arms away, and sliding to the far end of the bed

"Jade? What the fuck?" I said, pulling her arm so she was facing me

"I'm tired Beck, I've actually been doing some work today while you play with your new girlfriend"

"Are you being serious?! Jessica, is my friend, a very good friend and I can talk to her all I like, please stop being such a jealous bitch!" I spat, and she sharply let go of my hand and left the room, running into someone else's room. I think I went too far...No, I definitely went too far. I lay, for about half an hour, just looking at the ceiling until I feel a body slide into the bed next to me, Jade's decide to come retreating back. I smirk as I turn around, only to see long blonde hair and deep blue eyes staring back at me, I lie still, unsure what's going on until she places her lips on mine. And I know I should stop...But I cant.


Sorry for all the Bade shippers, It's not happening:( Soorrrryyyyy!

Question of the chapter: So now Beck is out of the way, who do we want Jade to fall in love with?
