Chapter 5 - Arguments

We were all woken abruptly by loud noises coming from downstairs. I quickly turned to my left, Michael wasn't there. Neither was Philip or the Doctor.

"TIFF!" I screamed.

"KIRSTY!" She screamed back. We woke Lucy up with all our screaming.

"Where are they? WHERE IS MICHAEL?"

"What do you mean? Where is the Doctor?"

"Downstairs. They got up earlier for a chat." Lucy said, looking very sleepy. I doubted she would get up now, she normally sleeps in for ages. Me and Tiff crept downstairs, deciding it was best if they didn't really want us to hear what they were saying. I picked out Michaels voice immediately.

"Well what if she gets hurt?" I heard him say.

"And what if Tiff gets hurt?" I guessed that was Philip.

"They are both stronger than that! Give them credit! Just because they are girls does not mean that they are incapable of taking down a few zombies." The Doctor argued.

"If Kirsty gets hurt, I won't be able to live with the thought! There's a patrol coming around in half an hour, I want her on that van!"

Tiff jumped around the corner, surprising them all.

"Why is Kirsty getting on a van?" She asked, not revealing my hiding spot.

"Nice." The Doctor Sighed, "There's a patrol coming around soon, looking for survivors so they can take them to an institute in the city centre. Anybody picked up will be safe, but tested on."

"Then why is Kirsty going?"

"You're both going. Lucy too" Philip said.

"We're not!"

"Look, Philip doesn't want you hurt and I'm doing what's best for Kirsty. If things get too difficult for us here, we will get picked up too. Lucy's going because it wouldn't fair for a girl to stay here and you two to be sent off." Michael explained, I could detect a slight hint of plead in his voice, like he was begging Tiff to agree with him. I couldn't take anymore, I made myself known.

"I'll go. If you let Tiff and Lucy stay." I finalised.

"No, you won't, none of you are going!" The Doctor yelled.

"Yes she is!" Michael argued back, I never seen him argue with somebody before.

"I'll go. Only if Tiff and Lucy stay here to help you." I said with a stern tone. The Doctor had to give in and within minutes, I was stood on the roadside with Michael.

"Look, I know you probably hate me right now but I want you to be safe." He said to me, not looking into my eyes.

"I don't hate you. I Love You." I replied. He didn't have a chance to reply because a huge white Van was spotted on the next street. He just kissed my cheek and ran back into the building. Never looking back.

In the morning

I could take the burning sun

I could be the only warning

But I'm not the only one

Somebody was phoning me.

"Hello?" I said.

"I'll miss you, if I don't see you again." Tiff said. In the background, I could hear 4 other voices saying their goodbyes.

"BYEEEE! I LOVE YOU ALL!" I shouted down the phone before hanging up and facing the surprises that were in store for me now.
