Hey guys! So as usual don't forget to review, favourite, what ever you like. I'd really appreciate any kind of feed back. XOXO
I woke up the next morning to the rise and fall of someone's chest and light snoring. I knew I had fallen asleep on the couch somewhere in between the Lion King and High School Musical. I guess I had fallen asleep on Darren as well. I sat up slowly and looked at everyone else. Lauren and Nick were tangled together on a beanbag, Brolden was sleeping against a wall with Meredith lying on his shoulder, Rosenthal was curled up in the corner mumbling in his sleep about squirrels, Joe and Beth were cuddled up on the couch and Dianna had fallen asleep with her head in Joey's lap. For some reason JoMo was asleep under the coffee table.
'Huh, weird.' I'm assuming everyone else had the sense to make their way to bed. I managed to slowly get off Darren without waking him and made my way to the kitchen. I rummaged through the cupboards and found some ingredients to make pancakes. I got started and by the time I had made two pancakes Beth and Walker had wondered in with their fingers intertwined and seeking pancakes. I glanced at Beth and gave her a look that said 'you better tell me everything missy.' She smiled and nodded. Good. After half an hour all the starkids were in the kitchen fighting over the food. I grabbed a plate and wondered into the living room where Darren was still passed out on the couch. I sighed before placing my plate on the table and kneeling down by his head.
"Darren..."I whisper. "Time to get up, I made pancakes." His eyes crack open at the word pancakes.
"Pancakes?" He asked in an adorable sleep ridden voice.
I giggled "Yeah pancakes." I say as I brush a little curl away from his eyes. He's just so cute and adorable!
"Okay" he says sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. I grab a pancake off the pile I have on my plate before I give the plate to him.
"You have this okay? I have to go get JoMo, Jim and Julia so they can have their lesson." He nods before stuffing his face. I laugh and shake my head in 'shame' as I walk off to find the others.
At about 10:30 Jim, Julia and JoMo have got the shooting thing down pat. We head inside and I find Rosenthal, Lauren, Jeff and Walker who were the people who got the hang of the guns the quickest and take them out for a quick target practice. By three o'clock everyone has had at least thirty minutes practise and I give up for the day. I walk inside with Darren again and we go back to the room I share with Dianna and Beth. I flop on my bed but Darren goes straight to my guitar that is sitting in the corner.
"Woah cool! It's a Valencia. I've never seen one of these before." He says happily.
"Yeah, my mum brought it for me for my fourteenth birthday. An old couple had it before me and they sold it to me for sixty dollars." I say proudly, my guitar is like my child, I boast about it whenever possible.
"That's awesome, do you mind?" He says as he picks it up. I give him a dismissive wave to let him know that its fine. He picks it up and strums a little before he starts to sing.
"Mmm, now I don't want to make this hard
But I don't want to make you stay
Don't wanna be the one who's got to watch you walk away
And maybe we could make it better
Start out once again
Do you even care if it works or it ends
So I'll wait for an answer" He sings. I grin, definitely not how I'd pictured the first time I would hear him sing. I join in on the chorus.
"I need another love affair to hold me down
I need somebody there to wait around
I need another love affair to hold me down
I need somebody there to wait around" He grins at me and we finish the song together.
We hear clapping and look up to see the majority of Starkid standing in the door way smiling.
"Meeting in five minutes." Nick says and everybody moans and wanders off.
Once everyone one is in the kitchen Brian stands on a chair and quiets everyone down.
"Guys, walkers have been piling up around the house since we started practicing with the guns. Nick and I think the noise is attracting them. We're going to have to leave in the next few days. That means that Katie is going to have to take the people who are struggling the most and work with them the most. That means myself, Darren, Devin and Denise are going out first thing in the morning. Today is Sunday so we should aim to leave by Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest. Problem is we don't know where we should go."
"Have any of you seen the Walking Dead?" Beth asked. I smile, one of my obsessions. I got her in to it once season one finished.
They all shake their heads, no.
"What! How have none of you seen it? It's the only reason I got this far." I say, shocked.
"We never got into the whole zombie thing." Joey says.
"I mean I think I saw one episode." Lauren says "It was alright but I didn't get what was happening."
"Well in season two they all end up staying on a farm for ages. I mean it worked until a massive hoard came in from the city. I say our best bet is a farm, get out of the city and as far away as possible." Beth says. I nod my head in agreement, it really is our best chance.
"Seems legit" Joey agrees. "Yeah, sounds good." Julia adds.
"So it's settled we aim for the country on Tuesday." I say. Everyone nods.
"Well I'm going to bed." I say as I jump up off the stool I'm sitting on. "Night guys."
