As It Seems
"How much longer are we going to keep driving?" Karma whined. Amy chuckled at the impatience of her best friend. " Soon Karma... I just don't want to stop in the middle of nowhere. Tell you what, we stop at the next gas station we find. We're going to be needing it soon anyways." Amy informed. Karma groaned as she leaned back into her seat. The group had been driving all night long and they were running low on gas. It was already daylight and were somewhere in north Oklahoma.
"Shane says we should stop here." Liam said over the radio. Amy looked at Karma who nodded in agreement and huffed out a breath of air. "Okay, fine! We'll stop here... But only for a little bit!" Amy said as she pulled over. They stopped at a small market in the middle of nowhere. Karma fist pumped in victory when Amy parked the car and jumped out in excitement. "Finally! Oh my god, my legs were beginning to cramp up!" She exclaimed as everyone else started to get out of their cars and stretch. Amy sighed as she leaned on the car and stretched her arms up in the air, letting out a tired yawn. "Fuck's sake man..." She groaned. She rose an eyebrow at Karma when she heard the other girl giggle. "Mind sharing what's so funny?" Amy mumbled through another yawn. She looked at Karma with a tired smile as the smaller girl walked in front of her and hugged her waist and leaned on her chest. Amy's smile grew bigger as she returned the hug. "I'm really sorry about your mom Amy..." Karma whispered. Amy sighed and pulled Karma closer to her. "I'm sorry about your parents Karma..." Amy whispered back.
From a distance, Shane and Lauren were watching the two girls, while Bruce, Colombus, and Liam went to check the market for anything they might need. "Those two really do love each other..." Lauren commented with a sigh as she thought of what might be of her boyfriend, Tommy. Shane smiled sadly and nodded. "If only Karma really did love Amy that way..." He mumbled, not realizing what he had just said. Lauren snapped her head at him and quirked an eyebrow. "What do you mean if Karma loved Amy that way? They're best friends. Of course Karma loves her." She said. Shane shook his and looked at Lauren this time. "Amy loves Karma in a more than a best friend kind of way, Lauren. Karma doesn't, know does she know how Amy really feels." Shane clarified.
Lauren was taken a back by this new found information. Before she could ask anything else though, her dad and the other two had finally come back. "What did you guys get?" Shane asked. Liam sighed while Columbus scratched at his head. "There were a few bodies here and there. We just grabbed some drinks. It looks like people were here already because most of the food was gone." Bruce explained. Amy walked over to them with Karma holding her arm. This didn't go unnoticed by Liam though and when Karma saw him, she quickly let go of Amy. The blonde frowned at her best friend but didn't say anything. Now wasn't the time. "Okay, so how much further till we get to your cousin?" Amy asked in a bored tone. Liam sighed again and shrugged. "I don't know. A few hours at most... if we don't stop that is." He said. "Alright the-" She stopped talking when she heard a groan. The group all looked at each other and then looked around the area as they heard more groans. "Amy..." Karma whimpered, clutching at Amy's arm again. Amy scowled and hushed Karma as she reached down her holster and pulled out the handgun.
She looked around and saw behind the market a few zombies coming out. "Fuck! We need to leave now!" She shout whispered to the group and crouched down. Liam looked to where Amy was looking and his eyes widened when he saw five zombies walking. Panicking a bit, he stumbled and bumped into a car. "Shit!" He said a little too loudly. "Shut up Liam!" Lauren snapped. Amy mentally face palmed herself at their loudness as the zombies finally realized they were there. She stood back up and pulled Karma with her. "No use in sneaking to the cars! Lets go!" She yelled to her friends. They all started running to their cars when they heard guns being fired. Amy glanced back and saw two boys, possibly a bit older than her, shoot the five zombies down. The group stopped and stared at the two guys in fear. "Are you guys okay?" The shorter guy said.
Not finding her voice, Amy only nodded. She took a step forward and pulled Karma and Lauren behind her when the taller of the two guys started walking to them. "I wouldn't get closer." Amy said, pulling her gun out. The tall guy looked surprised and put his hands up a bit. "We don't want any trouble. We were just going to stop for some gas when we saw you guys running from those zombies." He explained. Liam then took a step forward and looked at them in relief. "So they are zombies right?" He asked. The two strangers looked at each other before nodding. "We were in California when it started four days ago. It didn't really come out till three days ago thoug-"
"Sam, shut up. They don't care. We need somewhere to be before night falls. Brittany is probably there already... and Quinn..." The shorter guy said. Sam smiled apologetically and nodded. "Right. Sorry." He said sheepishly. Amy quirked an eyebrow but didn't make a move. "So this started four days ago and it's only you two?" Amy asked questioningly. Sam sighed as he looked back to his friend. "Come on Puck... they don't seem bad." Sam said. Puck finally sighed and put his gun away. "There were three others... friends of ours. We lost one of our friends to those fucking bastards and we were separated from our other two friends." Puck explained. "They're probably gone too..." He added bitterly. Sam turned around to face him with a glare. "Finn and Mercedes are okay!" He yelled.
Before Puck could argue with Sam though, Liam spoke up again. "Finn? Is his last name Hudson by any chance?" He asked hesitantly. The two other boys stopped and turned to look at Liam surprised. "Yeah... Finn Hudson. How do you know him?" Puck asked, narrowing his eyes. Liam smiled and gave them a chuckle. "That's my cousin! We were going to meet up with him and his friends in Kansas!" He exclaims. He looks at Shane and Amy and nods at them. Amy relaxes and puts her gun back in its holster. "Well looks like we'll be sticking together for a while then." Amy said. "I'm Amy. These are Karma, Liam, Lauren, Shane, Bruce, and Columbus." She says casually. Sam and Puck look at her warily before figuring she's safe to approach. "I'm Puckerman, but you guys can call me Puck. This is Sam." Puck says as he shakes Amy's hand.
Amy only nods at the boy and shakes Sam's hand afterward. "You guys got separated from your other friends, you said? How?" Amy asked. Puck rubs the back of his neck and frowns. "We were at a checkpoint when some of the people suddenly turned. Everything went pretty crazy afterwards. One of them jumped on our friend Mike and tore him to shreds. Finn and Mercedes jumped into a truck. We didn't reach it behind cause a few zombies were in our way..." He says. Amy nods with a sympathetic look on her face. "I'm sure they're fine. Just don't give up hope on them." She tells him. Puck smiles at her and nods.
"So you guys got a car?" Karma asks, stepping from behind Amy. Puck sighed and nodded. "Yeah, we were able to get a car. I think it would be better if we all ride together than in separate cars though if we're going to be together. That way we don't lose you guys or separate from each other." He said. Karma looked at Amy questioningly while the blonde thought. She wasn't sure if she should trust them; they didn't know anything about the two guys except that they're friends of Liam's cousin, but it seemed like a good idea. She looked to Karma and Lauren to see both girls looking at her. She smiled at them and turned to Puck with a nod. "What type of car do you have? Will it fit all of us, cause I prefer to not be squished in a small car with so many people." She said.
Puck chuckled while Sam smiled at her. "We have a monster." was all Sam said before Puck ran around the market. A few minutes later he showed up again with a fairly large SUV that would be more than enough for the large group. "You guys can put your stuff in the back and hop in." Puck said. The Texas group waited for Amy, who nodded at them, before going to the cars and grabbing the stuff they needed. Amy stopped at Lauren's car and sighed. She didn't want the boys to see how many weapons they had. She didn't trust them yet. She turned around to see Karma and Liam whispering about something and frowned. Even as the world is going down to shit, Karma seemed to be interested in Liam. "Fuck it..." She muttered out before pulling the bags out full of guns and other weapons. Puck saw her with the two heavy bags and helped her out with Lauren's help. As he got closer, he noticed that what she had in the bag were weapons. His eyes widened but before he could say anything, he calmed himself as he saw how hesitant Amy was to hand him on of the bags. "Sam and I won't touch them without your permission. I get that you don't trust us, but believe me. We can be trusted." Puck said.
Amy smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. She was glad he understood her discomfort. "Thanks." She said, handing him the heavier bag while Lauren helped her carry the other. "I know about you and Karma... you deserve better." Lauren said quietly. Amy looked at her confused before finally understanding what she meant. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. She cleared her throat and sighed. "I want Karma... she's the only one I want though." Amy said. Lauren snorted and rolled her eyes at the taller blonde.
"She's not the only girl out there... maybe you'll meet someone better than her. Someone who deserves your love." Lauren said. Amy was a bit surprised to hear this from Lauren of all people. They're relationship was mainly based on a hate not so much love type of relationship where they really only drove each other crazy. Seeing this caring and nice Lauren was nice though. Amy decided to respond with a soft sigh and smile. "Thanks for that Lauren." She said. She took the bag from Lauren and put it in the back of the car. "We're all set to go!" Amy said.
"I think we should take at least another car though. Just in case." She said. Puck thought for a minute before nodding. "Sure. That makes sense." He said. She nodded and grabbed Lauren's keys and went to the car. "Wait, if Amy's in another car, I want to be with her." She heard Karma say as she hopped out of the SUV. Amy couldn't help but smirk when she saw the disappointed look on Liam's face. "Okay. Let's go then." Puck said, not really caring who was going on the other car. Amy and Karma quickly got into Lauren's car and drove behind Puck. "So why didn't you stay with Liam? I wouldn't have minded driving alone." Amy said. She saw Karma smile and look at her. "Because you're my best friend and I love you very much. Besides, Liam is kinda mad right now since he really thinks we're together again. I mean, I told him we 'broke up' after the failed threesome." Karma said. Amy frowned at that and sighed. "Well we're not even really dating. It's not like it matters anymore though. We were just faking it." Amy said. Karma sighed and leaned on the window.
"I know but Liam would be so mad if I told him that. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to publicly break up in front of all of them so he can see I'm single and he can then ask me out to be his girlfriend for real." Karma said like if it were nothing. Amy sighed and rolled her eyes at her best friend. She could be too much sometimes. "Well, let's just hope things don't get too crazy for now." Amy said, not knowing what would be ahead of them or who they would be encountering.
I had to cut this short cause I gotta go, but I'm already working on the next chapter! Like the new people we brought in? Lol. So Sorry for the wait. I know I said I was going to reply last week but I forgot I had to give Zumba class and had to be there early. Friday I procrastinated and decided to RP all day. Lol. And yall know already I can't update in the weekends. For those who are interested in roleplaying though, I made a Faking It Forum! :) Tell me your thoughts on this chapter? I know not much happened here but I promise you, next chapter we'll have more action.
To one of the guests, I'm 20. Lol. Yes, Im a grown ass chick, but when youre living under your parents' roof still, you gotta follow their rules. And I can't exactly move out cause I don't have a job yet.
Greyeyedsammy: Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the rest of this story as I keep working on it. And if you've seen Zombieland, you'll know who Tallahassee and Columbus are. :)
One of the other guests: I'm sorry but I really had to laugh at your review. I didn't mean for that to come out as sexist and as much as I enjoy a bad ass Santana and Quinn, I can't have all characters be automatic bad asses. I like to make them grow into the person I think and feel they'll be later on through the story. Whether you wanna keep reading or not, be my guest, but I assure you, Santana and Quinn will be growing so much more than what they seem right now. The story hasn't even started yet. Lol.
