Hey guys, this chapter's pretty sucky in my opinion, but I just wanted to get through it so I could get to 26! lol! sorry if it's a bit crappy, I've also been a bit sicky lately so I'm not sure if that's been affecting my awesome skills or not... oh well, sorry about this mix up but last chapter's song was Going Under by Evanescence, and again, I have a poll that you guys need to take, so please take heed to that, thank you! ^^

This chapter can have whatever song you want for it really, send in some requests or comments or recommendations if you wish. ^^

Serious AN!: I know the lyrics are wrong at some points in this chapter, that is only because Roanoke is doin her own little thing, i mean, haven't any of you changed the lyrics to a song you like just a little bit? thanks for the understanding so don't pummell me for it if im a word off, that's Roanoke, not me, i chose to put it like that! thanks!


Zombieland: Cherish What's Left Over

Chapter 25: Unknown Envy

Roanoke woke up and stretched. She pulled back her sheets and carefully stood up. She slowly made her way to the bathroom and she looked in the mirror. She wasn't as pale as she was yesterday. She sighed and straightened her hair as best she could, no matter what she did, it was always a tousled green bush. Roanoke went into the hallway and she was surprised that she didn't smell pancakes and eggs like normal. Tallahassee always made pancakes and eggs. She furrowed her eyebrows and walked to the living room. 'Maybe he just isn't up yet.' she thought. She walked into the living room and everyone was watching another movie. Everyone besides Tallahassee that is.

"Morning." Roanoke grumbled, rubbing her eyes.

"Yes it is." smirked Detroit. Roanoke punched him in the arm. "Very funny."

"Yes I am." Roanoke couldn't help but giggle and she plopped down on the couch beside him. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her in closer. Wichita caught this out of the corner of her eye. "Well, what've we here?" she said humorously. "Nothing of your concern." Roanoke stated in an airy voice. "Suuure." Wichita laughed. Little Rock whistled and Roanoke snapped her head in her direction. Little Rock winked at Roanoke and she shot her a glare. Columbus snickered in his seat beside Wichita and Roanoke glared at him too. "All of you, sod off!" she laughed. Detroit gave her a peck on the head and she blushed.

"Awww." giggled Wichita. Roanoke threw a pillow at her. "Okay! I'll stop!" Wichita cried. "Jeez."

Tallahassee woke up and glanced at a clock on the wall. It read ten in the morning. He sighed and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He didn't remember going to sleep last night. Why did he get so mad last night? He didn't have anything to be mad or upset about. He rubbed his head and put his hat back on.

'You saw them makin' out, what's it to you? You don't need to make a big deal out of nothin'! Especially when you don't even know why the hell you're makin' a big deal out of it in the first place!' he yelled at himself in his head. He sighed. He really had no idea what was wrong with him. 'It's probably just a headache, I've been gettin' tons of 'em since Mister Nerd came on board.' He accidentally ran into the door frame. "Yep, it's a headache." he mumbled to himself. He went into the living room and looked around. "Morning!" Roanoke said cheerily. Tallahassee glared at her and she wondered what she did wrong.

Tallahassee spotted Detroit's arm around Roanoke's waist. He grinded his teeth and sat down beside Roanoke. She flashed him that 'what's wrong' look again. He glared at her and she frowned. She flipped him off and he stuck his tongue out at her. She made a face and returned the favor.

"Why are you guys having a face contest?" spoke Little Rock. The two gathered themselves and shared one last glare before turning back to the tv.

"Yeah! Go Reno!" Roanoke yelled, pumping her fist in the air.

"What is this anyway?" asked Tallahassee. "Final Fantasy." Everyone else said in monotone. "Yep and Reno's kickin' butt! Oh! Aw man! Not the shades!" Roanoke laughed.

After the movie, everyone ate a cheap breakfast and they were on the road again.

"So where are we?" asked Roanoke. "Uh, I want to say Delaware." said Columbus. Roanoke saw a sign that said 'Welcome to Delaware!'

"Now we are." she said simply.

"So." began Detroit. "We should keep our eyes peeled, we can't just do whatever. Sacramento's on our tail and that means, no one goes anywhere alone." Everyone nodded. "Everyone watch what they say." They nodded again. "She can't do anything if we're together. We should all sleep in the same room and someone should keep watch at all times. Until Sacramento's dead, we keep this up. Agreed?" Everyone nodded again. Roanoke sighed.

"Well, on that happy note." she popped the White Stripes cd into the player and put in on as high as it would go. A catchy beat began to play and she readied herself for the lyrics. "I'm gonna fight 'em all! The seven nation army couldn't hold me back! They're gonna rip it off!" Little Rock and Wichita started singing along and Detroit was humming. "And I'm talkin' to myself at night because I can't forget! Back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette! And the message comin' from my eyes said leave it alone!" they then all started humming the drum lines. "Don't wanna hear about it! Every single one's gotta story to tell! Everyone knows about it! From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell! And if I catch ya comin' back my way, I'm gonna serve it to you!" They continued singing and Roanoke began to yell rather than sing her favorite part. "And I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' right before the lore!" she sang. When the song was over, Roanoke ejected the cd and put another one in.

"You only wanted to hear one song?" asked Detroit.

"Yeah, why?"

"Eh, just asking." Roanoke put in the Evanescence, Fallen cd and smiled greatly. "This is the best band ever! Just listen, Little Rock!" she exclaimed. "No one will tell you what I've done for you, fifty-thousand tears I've cried. Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you and you still won't hear me. Goin' under!" Roanoke bobbed her head "I'm goin' under! Falling forever! Got to break through! Going under!"

Suddenly, a shot rang out and a bullet went through one window of the car and out the other. "Tallahassee stopped the van and Roanoke paused the player. "Who the hell just shot my Caddy!" Tallahassee yelled. "That thing missed me by an inch and you're worried about your stupid car?" Wichita yelled.

"Looks like sissy decided to pay us a visit. Great." said Detroit, looking gloomily out the window. Everyone looked out the left side of the Caddy to find Sacramento standing there with a pistol in her hand. She walked to the van and sneered at Roanoke.

"Y'know, you make some really bad decisions, Roanoke." she said in a venomous voice.

"What are you talking about?" Roanoke hissed.

"You didn't stay true to our deal. Therefore, someone will pay." she said as if she were talking about the weather. She pulled a blade out of her pocket and threw it at Columbus. It sunk into his bicep and he yelled. Wichita's face was contorted with rage and shock. Roanoke, Tallahassee, and Detroit were already out the car and they sprinted towards Sacramento. Sacramento fired a bullet and it missed Tallahassee by a foot.

"Stop! It's not worth it! We're just gonna get shot!" shouted Roanoke, tackling Tallahassee and Detroit to the ground. Sacramento scoffed.

"Why can't you be this smart all the time, Roanoke?"

"Why can't you shut up?" Roanoke sneered. Sacramento tisked and ignored Roanoke.

"Little brother... traitor! Then again.. you always were the golden angel." she hissed with distasted.

"You brought this upon yourself, sissy, you never were bad until you wanted to be the center of attention. The only feeling anyone should have for you now is pity." Detroit spat.

"Don't give me those puppy eyes and think that I'll melt like everyone else did! I'm the cool one now, so hah! Who's turning their heads in your direction now, huh? You're weak! You always were." Sacramento seemed to be off in her own little world where she was queen. The three were looking at her like she was crazy, and Tallahassee spoke his mind.

"You are one screwed up crack head, y'know that?" Roanoke stifled a laugh. Sacramento kicked him in the face and glanced over to the van. Wichita and Little Rock were trying to get the knife out of Columbus' arm. She smirked. "I'll take my leave for now, but defy me next time, Roanoke, and it'll be worse. After all, you gotta remember... you're my little messenger." She bent down and pecked Roanoke on the forehead before running off into the woods.

Roanoke sat there with an eye twitch. A disgusted look on her face. Tallahassee and Detroit blinked.

"Yeah, she seriously has some problems." Detroit shrugged. "Last time I checked, she wasn't a les... although, last time I checked was a few months ago... so... I really don't know with her. Sorry about that."

"She is on some serious drugs, dude." said Tallahassee. "Tell me about it." Roanoke got up and rubbed her forehead. "Agh! Now I have to boil my face!" she shrieked. "Here, I'll help you." Detroit smirked as he got up. He wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered some stuff in her ear and she laughed. Tallahassee glared after them. 'What has been up with me lately?' he thought.
