Chapter Five: Day Two
I awoke the next dayby Steven's voice on the intercom again with a sore back and the stench of blood that was still on my clothes.
"Rise and Shine losers it's another terrible day" Steven shouted in the intercom.
Matt covered himself with the blanket and went back to sleep. I got up, hearing my back cracking from sleeping on the floor and walked out of the electronics to find the nearest bathroom. I walked down the aisle to the lay way department and came across with the dead zombie that use to be Mr. Newman. He was lying across the floor with blood around his head and the pair of scissor, my brother use, still in his head. I ignored it and went to the bathroom.
As I exit the bathroom the intercom came on again playing the song "It's the end of the world" by R.E.M.
"Dammit Steven, It's seven in the morning shut that thing off!" Richard yelled in the intercom.
"Hey, I'm in control of the intercom" Steven said
They started fighting and forgot to turn off the stupid thing.
"Guys, the intercom still on" Jason said
I heard a punch "dammit, my eye" Richard said "you have to hit me in my black eye"
"For god sake" Jason said "I'll turn it off"
Everything went quiet and I saw my brother dragging himself out of the electronics.
"Morning Eric" I said as he walked past me
"I'm going to kill those idiots" he said "where's the nearest bathroom"
"In the lay way department" I said
As I waited for Matt to wake up, I looked around the clothes area to find something to wear. Sky and Jenny were sleeping in the dressing room.
(So note to myself, stay away form room number 3 and 5) I thought
I went to the boys clothes, everything in the girls sections were too bright and colorful for my taste. While looking at clothes I saw Jason heading toward the small McDonald.
"Hey Jason" I said
"Hey, have you seen Sky and Jenny" he asked
"There sleeping in the girl's dressing room"
"Thanks" he said, heading to the dressing room. "Morning Matt"
I turned around to see Matt dragging himself over to me. He was still half asleep but he smiled at me "good morning" he said
"Morning, it looks like you need some new clothes too" I said
Matt's shirt was nearly torn up and was covered in blood. "Find anything black" he asked
"Here this" I tossed him a black shirt in his face.
"You want us to make you what!" we heard Sky shouting
"I was wondering if you can make me some eggs McMuffins" Jason said
A pillow was thrown in his face then followed by a shoe as Sky walked out of the dressing room.
"We are trapped in a store with dead people outside these walls and all you can worry about is your stupid stomach"
"Well you know how to make them" Jason said
"Look at the window Jason" Sky shouted pointing at the window
The windows at the small mcDonald were crowded by the dead who were still trying to get it. "I am not going to cook anything with those things looking at me" Sky said "in fact I'm not going to cook anything at all"
Jenny walked out, stared at the zombies then started to shake "where are my pills" she said
"Don't worry we'll find something to cover up the windows" Jason said
"I'm still not making you those fucking McMuffins" Sky said
I sighed and went on looking for something to wear.
It was almost noon and Matt and I were on the roof eating a bowl a cereal. I figure that when it comes to surviving there is no such thing as stealing food for the store. Despite the hot weather I was wearing a black shirt that had a skull on it with black pants. We were sitting at the edge of the roof with our legs dangling over, watching the zombies.
"So do you think my parents are dead" Matt said then taking a bite of his coco puffs.
"They probably are" I said as eating my fruity pebbles
"Oh, what a shame" he said
I shook my head, I guess it hard to miss someone who was abusive. Matt just stayed quiet, watching the dead looking up at us. "You're lucky" he said
"Why would you say that, my parents are dead also, I knew that when they didn't return home" I said
"You have your brother and you crush" he said
"But you're not alone, you have me" I said
Matt smiled but the comfort ended when a body wrapped in a blue sheet tossed just above our head and dropping to the floor where the dead were surrounding it.
"Stupid old man" we heard and turned to our right to see Richard and Steven standing at the edge. "We told him not to go outside"Richard finished.
Matt nearly choked on his cereal when he saw the black eye my brother gave him. I held back my laugher then look out at the dead body "rest in peace Mr. Newman"
"Hey where did you get the cereal" Steven asked "in fact how can you eat while staring at those things"
"Where else stupid, Wal-Mart" I said "we got the bowl, milk, and cereal"
"We found a toaster but didn't know where to plug it up" Matt said
"And we're two disturbed kids so this doesn't really bother us"
"Never mine, forget the cereal, I'll just ask that Sky girl for some hash browns" Steven said walking away.
Richard looked at me "don't think I'm going to let this black-eye bother me, when your brother is not around, your still the fat girl to me" he said walking off
"Ooh I'm so scared" I said sarcastically "I don't know what's worst Richard's wrath or the fact that we're trap in a store to escape form zombies"
Matt laughed then sipped the last bit of milk from his bowl. "Hey, do you smell eggs" he asked
I sniffed the air "no, all I smell is blood and rotten flesh"
Matt laughed "it's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine"
"What the hell are you singing" I asked
"The song by R.E.M, I can't get it out of my head but it's pretty funny when you sing it"
"Why is that?"
"Well, it's the end of the world and I feel fine with it" Matt said
"You're not afraid to die" I had to ask
"After what I've been through the past fifteen years, no" he said
"So positive on the negative things" I said "oh well"
"Come on Bianca, sing with me" Matt said
"I don't even know the whole, in fact how does anyone know that song" I said
"It's the end of the world as we know it-" he sang
"It's the end of the world as we know it" I sang along
"And I feel fine" we said together then laughed
We stayed silence for a while and boy I never realize how far you can see up here on the room. I looked around the town and it wasn't the same anymore. I saw a few buildings on fire, zombies walking over to where we are as if they know that we were here alive.
"Hey look Bianca I can see the base from here" Matt pointed
I looked over at the base, it was only about two miles from here and I can see the zombies crowding around the gate.
"Who knows maybe your parents made it to The Base" Matt said
I doubt it "maybe, ready to go inside this heat is unbearable" I asked
We walked off to a door that led us downstairs and into the large storage room. We exit the room and walked over to the small McDonald's where everybody was at.
"There's your McMuffins that will be five dollars" Sky said to Jason.
"Five dollars! Come on, with all that happening everything should be free" Jason said
While Jason and Sky were fighting, Jenny was sitting at the far ends of the tables, still seems alittle traumatize form the whole thing. Marc was sitting down with his leg up on the chair eating pancakes. Eric was trying to hammer blankets on the roof of the ceiling so it could hide the windows.
"Eric, what are doing" I asked
"I'm covering up the windows, it's hard to walk around with those dead things staring at us" he said
"Clever isn't it" Marc said
"Clever, yes, but it's going to take awhile since you can't walk right and Bianca's friend is too busy eating those McMuffins" Eric said
"I said I'll help when I'm done and again my name is Jason" he said
"Hey do you guys want anything to eat I'm still cooking breakfast stuff or do you want some nuggets" Sky asked
"No I just ate" I said
"Me too" Matt said
"What about you Jenny" Sky asked
Jenny shook her head and remain quiet.
"Bianca can you go find those other two guys you know" Eric said
"Richard and Steven" I asked
"Yeah, tell them to get their butt over here and help me" he said
"Fine" I said "come on Matt"
I was hoping to sit down and relax, the heat gave me a headache and I didn't even want to look for those two. We looked around for about twenty minutes and found them in the garden section.
"Richard, what are you doing" I asked
"We're bored so we thought why don't we gathered up pointy objects and throw them at the zombies" he said holding up a pair of gardening shears.
"Since your BROTHER took away our guns" Steven said
"Well it's not like Wal-mart doesn't carry any rifles here OW-" Matt said till I stomped on his foot to shut up.
"Oh yeah we forgot about those" Richard said dropping the shears
"And we got the keys to every lock in this store" Steven grinned
"Thanks man" Richard said smacking Matt on his back then taking off with Steven following him.
"What an idiot, I don't know why Bianca would let a fifteen-year-old hang out with her" I over heard Steven saying to Richard and they laughed
"Nice going Matt"
"What? I don't think they're too mad to pull guns on us not after what your brother did" he said
"Well to be on the safe side, we need to get those keys from them or tell my brother" I said
I just hope they don't get any others ideas with those keys because like Richard said they open every lock in the store even those that are keeping the dead out . . .
Chapter Six: The Bus: Jenny is losing her mind and a bus full of people are heading over to the Wal-Mart store.
