A/N: I apologize ahead of time for this chapter. It is meant to act like a normal journal entry and one doesn't always try to get the perfect grammar. In fact, a friend and I used word pad to write it so there will be some errors. If its annoying to read, I'm sorry.
Chapter 2

(Patrick's Journal Entry)
It's so weird, something like this happening. David and I had just been talking about a situation like this not even a month ago. I mean, being teenagers with imaginations like ours, we tend to think up these ridiculous stories or events of which would more likely never occur. But this one did. When you think up stories like these, at the moment you think it would be awesome. The ideas going through our heads excite us so much. But when it actually happens, you wish it were just a bad dream, and you could go back to that day sitting in the pool, and say to each other, let's forget about this. But you can't. Once something is started, something like this, there's no going back. We have to stand strong.
We have decided to stick to our original plan, the one that we had thought up back in that day in the pool. We would go to my grandfather's dealership, Malson Chrysler Dodge Jeep, and fortify it so that no zombie could pass through. It's just David and me for now. At the moment, after David's little battle, he was so worn out. He passed out before I could even lay him down. So after I had made sure he was locked up good, and that no more zombies could get past the doors, I went out back and started looking for supplies.
Our original plan, was to go to Malson, get all the salvageable vehicles in the back, locked in the fence, and set the vehicles we didn't need out front and use them as bombs. Also, we planned to attach batteries to the surrounding fence, to keep people from climbing over. So, while David rested, I started to put our plan into action. First, I made sure that all doors were locked securely. Seeing as how the showroom was basically all glass, so I just took what we would be able to use, and locked it in back. This basically consisted of computers, and most importantly, all the car keys. There was a glass door that lead to the service center, and i made sure to board that up. So, as of now, the front section of Malson's so safe for us to be in. Unfortunately, The fence was connected to the back section, and the front and back sections were not connected. So I thought for a little bit, trying to think of a way that i could connect them. At first, i thought about putting a line of cars on both sides of one of the service bays from both sections. But I didn't know how I'd get them that close together, and then the zombies could probably just climb underneath them. So, I snuck out to the back section, and looked around, and looked around outside in the fence. Luckily, there was some left over fence that they had not gotten rid of. It looked like enough for me to make it from one building to the next on both sides of the service bays. so i dragged it along, because it was a little to heavy for me to lift, and laid it where i planned to put it. I had to make sure to stay paranoid, and keep checking to make sure that no zombies were near. Just to be on the safe side, i had brought a nail gun with me, something that i could shoot through their brains. So I began constructing the fence. After about thirty minutes, I had the fence up. I screwed it straight into the building, so I wouldn't have to worry about the poles and all that crap. I also put a few screws along the bottom, straight into the asphalt, so that they couldn't climb underneath.
So now i had the sections connected. I went to check on David, and he was still sleeping. So I went back to the back and decided that i would hook up a battery to the fence. I realized that i couldn't hook up a battery to the fence pieces between the two buildings, because they were connected straight to the building. The building was made of metal, so the electrical current would go throughout the whole building, and possibly blow something up, and right now, we couldn't afford any resources we needed to be blown up. So, i just hooked to large batteries up to the rear fence. I made sure to test it by throwing a stick at it, and that stick shot back far. So, now that the fence was done, i decided that i would go hook up the computers i had taken from the front.
I was happy to know that Malson's had high speed Internet through satellite, so all the work we had to do on the internet would be fast. I was going to make my grandfather's office our main office, but the hallway leads right into the showroom, without an door in between, so i moved back to the service center, and started hooking them up. There were three counters in the service station. Since there were only two of us, I decided that I would hook up extra computers at only two tables. So, once i had gotten done, there were three computers at the two tables i had selected. Now, since this room was the room with the glass door, i made sure to take a few pieces of metal and reinforce that door, so as not to take any chances. I went back to the computers and starting seeing what i could do. I managed to pull up the surveillance cameras. I was checking everything out, just to be sure there were no zombies around. I went ahead and pulled up the security cameras on one of the computers at David's station as well. Next, i went on the internet and downloaded AIM, to see if anyone was on. But at the moment, there was no one. I couldn't really think of anything else to do with the computers at the moment, so i just checked the security cameras one more time, and started to make my way out front.
I had to get the good vehicles out back, inside the fence. I had the keys to the Dodge Rams in my pocket. I made my way into the showroom, being extremely quiet. I was looking around, but i didn't see any movement. Since i had the batteries attached to the fence, i couldn't just open it with my bare hands. So what I decided to do was to pull a few vehicles around in front of the gate. Then i would go detach the batteries, open the gate, pull those trucks in, and then close the gate behind me and reattach the batteries.
So, I went out front, checked to see if there were any zombies within sight. I didn't see any, so I began heading towards the trucks. I pulled out the first key, it the unlock button to see which truck it went to. It went to a 4 door, black, Dodge Ram 1500 RT, with a Hemi and hood scoops. Thank goodness it was also four-wheel drive, which always comes in handy, as you will see later on. So, I looked around once again, did not see any zombies, so i got in the truck, started it, but did not turn the lights on so as not to draw any special attention towards me, and pulled it in front of the fence. I got out and locked it. When i hit the lock button, the horn sounded, and I froze. All I could do was look around to check for movement. But after a few minutes, I still saw no movement, and started walking back to the front. The next truck i pulled back was pretty much the same as the first one, except that it was red. I thought that i would go ahead and pull another one around, and once i had three, i would start again. The next truck was also the same as the others, it was just silver. So, i had that one in front of the fence, and locked it. I walked over and unhooked the batteries. Then I walked over and unlocked the fence. I figured, all i need to do is get the trucks inside, and then i can worry about arranging them later. I opened the fence. I started walking towards the first truck, and thought I heard something. I looked around, and saw nothing, so i got in and moved the black truck inside the fence. I parked it and locked it, just so no looters would come along and try to steal it. I walked back over, got in the red truck, and pulled it in beside the black one. Finally, i walked over got in the silver truck, and pulled it in. When i had them all parked and locked up, i walked over to the fence, and locked it. Then, i walked over, and started to attach the batteries. Right when i had the first one hooked up, I heard these popping noises, and turned around to see all these sparks of light. When the sparks of light stopped, and i looked closer, there were about fifty zombies grouped down towards the back of the fence. They started to walk towards the building. So i quickly attached the second battery, and ran through the second building, opened the service bay, and closed it when i got out, through the fenced-in section i made, and into the first building. I closed the doors behind me and locked all of them. I made it to the desk with the computers and started watching the security cameras, just to see that it was way more than fifty of them. All of a sudden, a hand was placed on my shoulder, and i screamed so loudly that it probably attracted about 100 more zombies. Thank god it was only David, who had finally awoken from his slumber.
He said that he had dreamed about writing a journal. It must have been a boring dream. He said that even then, if we died, people would know about what happened. I figured what the hell. And here you have it. My first entry.
The zombies seem to be piling up in the front. The gates that hold them are locked but if any more come, I don't know if we will be able to hold them. We don't have many supplies. We have enough drinks to last us but we cant live on M&M's and mountain dew forever. Sooner or later we are going to have to leave this place to look for food.
I am worried about my family. I want to go searching for them. David doesn't really seem to care about his. After he had to kill his grandfather, he seems to be…gray. As though he has no emotion. He normally just sits outside, looking at the zombies as they try to break down the gate. I'm wondering if he is starting to go crazy or something. David never did really get along with his mother; she kept him on a short leash. But still, he should show some concern, shouldn't he?
I am going to ask him later to come with me to go get supplies. I think we can make it out of the gate if we just unlock it quickly and then run them over. But we wont be able to lock it back without having to fight all those zombies. We might have to just hope and prey it is all right when we get back. I am going to ask him now. If I do not write in this journal again, it means I did not make it back. I only hope there will be someone left…

A/N: Again I apologize for the way this chapter is written but I wanted it as close to a normal entry as I could. I'm sorry if it was annoying to read, hell, it was annoying to write.
