Chapter 4 .

The sunlight peeked through the window and I fluttered my eyes open.

I pulled the covers away and sat up. I let out a big yawn and stretched my arms out.

I looked at the window then at Jennifer. She was snoring lightly and was still asleep.

'I don't want to wake her, so I gotta be quiet..' I thought to myself.

I quietly got off the bed and got my T-shirt from the floor.

I put it on and then tiptoed out of the room. The door creaked loudly as I tried to open it slowly.

'Damn it..' I whispered as I squeezed out the door.

I sighed and yawned again.

Boy, I was tired..

I walked to the kitchen and sat at the table. I put my head down and moaned.

I sat at the table for a few minuets, then I finally got the energy to drag myself up and make something for Jen and I to eat.

I slumped to the fridge; not really expecting to find something inside, but I still checked.

To my surprise there wasn't anything in there.

I closed the fridge and squatted down to pick up my duffel bag.

I hauled it on the table and searched it for something decent to eat.

I packed lots of canned food but nothing breakfasty for us to eat.

I sighed as I look through all the cans of food I brought.

Beans.. Corn.. Chicken Noodle.. Alphabet soup.. Tuna.. and some Ravioli.

I took out the Chicken noodle soup can and opened the lid.

I poured it into one of my moms bowls and set on the table.

I plugged in the microwave and it beeped to life.

'Wow It works.!' I said excitedly

I smiled to myself as I got the Bowl from the table and I stuck it in the Microwave.

I punched in 1 minute for the soup to heat up.

I waited impatiently for the soup to be done as my stomach grumbled.

I looked down at my feet when something tapped my arm.

I jumped a little bit and I turned around. I saw a familiar light brown haired girl with chocolate brown eyes

'Oh.! You scared me Jennifer.!' I breathed out.

Jennifer smiled 'What are you making.?'

'Chicken noodle, do you want some.?'

'Sure.!' she said as she sat on the table and rubbed her eyes.

'Did you sleep well Jen.?' I said as the smell started getting to my nose making me hungrier.

'Yeah.! I had a good dream.' Jen said.

'I see..' I said as the Microwave beeped.

I opened the Microwave as I got the hot soup out, getting also two spoons as well.

I got another bowl from the cabinet and split the soup into equal amounts for both of us.

'I didn't know you liked chicken noodle.' Jen said as I set the bowl in front of her.

'It may be the zombie apocalypse, but I always love my chicken noodle soup.' I smiled.

Jen smiled as she started eating her soup 'Yum, It's been a while since I had chicken noodle.!'

'Me too..' I said

'So what's our plan, are we going to find your friends or are we staying here.?' Jen asked with a full mouth.

'We have to find them..' I said as I thought of Marzia and Cry.

I stared blankly at the floor, thinking of what to do.

'Well Marzia and Cry shouldn't be very far from us. Maybe they headed into the city.' I stated.

'Okay we should go there then.!' Jen agreed.

'Okay, we check the city and if they're not there, Cry has some relatives in the countryside. We can stop there second.'

'I'm done.' Jen said as I looked at her bowl. It was empty.

'Wow your fast' I chuckled
'Okay it's settled then.'

Jen pushed her chair back and jumped off her chair.

'I'm going to get ready.' she said as she walked away from the kitchen.

I watched go and I stared at my soup.
I finished it up and put the empty bowl in the sink.

I headed to the living room and crashed on the couch.

I closed my eyes and rested for a bit until Jen poped out and nudged me.

'You ready Felix.?' she said.

'Yes.' I said as I sprang up and rubbed my eyes. 'Lets go.'

We headed out the front door and the sun blasted us with heat

'Whooo, it's hot today.' Jen exclaimed.

'Yeah.' I said already sweating.

We walked to my car and got in. I started the car and it roared to life.

Jen clutched her backpack tightly and put her seatbelt on.

I nodded and I backed up my moms house and we headed to the city.

'Are we there yet.?' Jen complained.

'Ugh, almost..' I groaned.

'I'm so tired I want to get out of this car already, Felix, when getting there.?' Jen whined.

'I don't know Jen, stop asking.' I snapped in a harsh tone.

Jen expression changed 'Oh, I'm sorry if I'm annoying I didn't mean to make you mad.' she frowned.

I sighed 'Its okay Jen, I just need a little quiet, we're almost there okay.?'

'Okay..' Jen said.

She looked out the window at the bright sky keeping quiet.

She suddenly gasped out loud and got jumpy. 'Felix.! Felix.! I see something.! I think it's an R.V and there's people there look.!' she jumped.

I slowed the car down and reached to see over at Jen's side. I did indeed see an R.V and people there.

'Maybe they know where your friends are Felix.! Lets ask them.!' she said.

'I don't know Jen.. what if they're dangerous.?' 'I don't want anything to happen to us..' I said

'Oh common it won't hurt to ask, if they don't know we can just leave and bam nothing ever happend.' she said. 'Pleaaaase.?' she smiled really big.

'Okay fine.' I sighed.

'Yay.! New people.' Jen smiled.

I backed the car and headed towards the area those people were in.

We got closer and closer until the people stopped what they were doing and caught notice.

They kept staring at us not sure what to do.

I stopped the car and breathed in and out.

'I hope nothing happens.' I said as I headed out.
