Sorry it took to long. Lots of stuff came up and had to be taken care of. Glad to be back.
Alex's Pov
It was morning already. The night felt like five seconds. Everyone else fell asleep shortly after we broke into the place. I stayed up all night watching the infected wonder around mindlessly. Staying up didn't bother me. I was like the infected outside I don't need sleep anymore, or I can go on for days without it. The same infected from the other day are still around; they really don't do much unless there's a noise of humans around.
I heard movement coming from outside the window we came through last night. Out of curiosity I got up to check it out, I feel like Matt right now, I never get curious. I got to the window to see an infected trying to get in. We put the wood board back up last night but it seems that the zombie broke it. I heard someone get up. I turned to see who it was and I saw Zack holding a gun aimed towards me. "Duck or move out of the way." He said. I obeyed and ducked, he shot at the zombie that was trying to get in. Wyatt woke up from the gun blast. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Zack and I, he gasped. "What are you doing?" He said franticly. Before either of us can say anything he ran over to Matt and shook him awake. "What!" Matt said when he was violently shaken by Wyatt. "Zack is trying to kill Alex!" Zack and I busted out laughing, "You got it wrong kid. There was an infected trying to get it." Zack pointed to the window so Wyatt can see for himself. The infected was lying there twitching. "Maybe you should shoot it one more time." Matt said. Zack aimed the gun and shot it through the head and it stopped twitching. Matt walked up to Zack and took the gun from him. "I'll be taking that." He said. "Calm down. I wasn't going to hurt anyone with it, I just killed the zombie. I guess you can't trust me either." Zack said. "How can I trust you if you can't even trust us? How does that work?" Matt asked. He had a point. I stood up. "Are your guys still going on about trust? We all should trust each other if we want to survive and get to New Jersey!" That felt good to finally get out. "Wow Alex, I've never seen you this angry before. Well except for-" Matt paused "Never mind." He finished. I don't think he wanted to remind me of what happened when he got shot. I didn't want to remember but now that it was brought up, I had the urge to kill again.
It was awkward while we were getting ready to leave, nobody spoke. After a while someone finally broke the silence. "So uh, does anyone know were we are?" Zack asked, "I do." Matt replied. "I saw a sign that said 'Welcome to Virginia!' I looked at the map and New Jersey is two states away." He finished. "Wow that was fast." I said. I was surprised Zack didn't say anything about the fabled cure that we are after. I think he learned to keep his mouth shut. "Almost there." I heard Wyatt whisper. "Well we should get going." I said. I really wasn't looking forward to walking out in the daylight all day. The sun is still uncomfortable for me; I promised my friends I wouldn't claw out my eyes, if the cure is real then I don't want to be blind for the remainder of my life. I wonder if the boys are up to switch the shift to night travel. I'll ask when we get to our next safe place. "Come guys, we are burning daylight." Zack said motioning every one outside.
"Gah! Ow!" Matt said as he climbed out. I looked over to see him pull his hood over his eyes. "That was unexpected." He said. Wyatt tugged on Matt's sleeve. "Are you okay big brother?" He asked Matt. Big brother? When did he start calling him that? "Yeah I'm fine, the sun just burned my eyes a bit, no big deal." Matt said while rubbing his eyes "Well we better find that cure fast if the sun is starting to bother you. Oh before we go on, do we even have a plan on how we are getting into C.E.D.A without getting shot on site?" Zack asked. Matt looked up at Zack, "Yeah I thought of one while we were looking for Alex." Matt said. 'Okay then, let's hear it." Zack said, I have a bad feeling about this, I know that Zack is going to say something and it will start another fight between these two. "Well since I look the most human out of all of us I will go in and look for my dad, once I find him I'll explain our situation to him and we will come and get you guys." Matt explained. This is where the fighting will begin. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Zack asked. And it begins! "Who knows they might line us up against the wall and kill us?" Zack said. "I know we will get treated. My dad works there; he couldn't kill his own son." Matt looked at me. "He wouldn't." The tone of his voice changed, he sounded more serious. Zack sighed. I know he's going to say something to piss off Matt. "I probably shouldn't say this but." Oh look I was right! "How do you even know that your dad is still alive? Or even in the same place?" Matt glared at Zack. "Even if he's alive he might not be the same. This world we live in now has driven people insane. I've seen it happen before." Zack finished his little story. I finally got mad enough to want to smack him. I walked up to him and raised my hand. "What are you doing?" Zack asked. I smacked Zack across the face then backed away from him. I couldn't really see his eyes because his hood covered his eyes, but I could tell he was shocked. "What?" That was all Zack was able to choke out. "I'm sorry, I had to." I said. "Let's go." I walked away leaving everyone. I didn't care if they followed or not. Well I cared if Wyatt followed he doesn't annoy me. "Wait Alex!" I heard behind me. I looked to see the little Witch running towards me. "I'm coming with you. I'm not sure how much of their arguing I can take without ripping them apart." I laughed "We'll just leave them for a bit, maybe they will learn how to get along." I said. Wyatt nodded and we walked around a little bit, hoping they will be alright and not kill each other…
A/N: I know long time no update.. But I got viruses, grounded, school work, and all that fun stuff. I got my math grade up and I'm not failing anything! Okay so I split this into two chapters. One reason. I got lazy and the virus killed some of my files and sadly H&H got terminated so I had to retype it.. Matt's part will be up tomorrow night. (t's spring break and I sort of have a life now) I'm already writing it.
