As expected, when I woke up in the morning I was terrified. I'd forgotten where I was and when I realised, I started freaking out, which woke everyone up.
"Woah, calm it lady!" Drew yawned as he sat up. "It's okay in here. See?" He seemed happier, and it was creeping me out.
"What's all this commotion?" Andy said as he rolled over in his mound of blankets.
"N-nothing," I breathed. "Just freaked myself out a bit."
"Again." Drew slyly added with a smile. He got stood up and went to the corner of the room, grabbed some fresh clothes from the trunk and started to change. I looked away, embarrassed.
"Oh, don't mind him," Andy said as he noticed how shy I was being. "He's naked pretty much all the time. When we were in college together, we'd always be down at the beach hoping to score some chicks, and his method was to wear as little as possible. The sad thing is, it worked."
I looked over at him to check him out, but then realised what I was doing and looked back.
"What's up with him? Why's he in such a good mood?" was all I could say without blushing.
"Probably had a good dream. He gets those a lot, but all I get is nightmares."
"Well maybe you should get some more sleep, you were out until late last night."
"Or early this morning," he said. "Nah, it doesn't matter. I'll survive. Now, how about some breakfast?"
After a few handfuls of cornflakes each and a rummage through the trunk of clothes, we decided to set off and get on with the day. I didn't want to go outside, not now I knew what was out there, but staying in here wasn't very appealing either. Besides, me and Andy had planned to go to my home and get Michael's guns.
"Sorry there weren't any ladies outfits," Drew said. "This is practically my lot and a few t-shirts left in the back of Andy's car. Although you never know, you might find a bra or two back in there, I wouldn't be suprised!" Andy laughed and punched him on the shoulder.
"Hey leave off man, that was one time! Anyway, we should be thinking about how we're going to manage today, not about the dirty underwear left in the back of my car." he replied.
"Well I don't know about you, but today feels like a good day," I smiled. "And once we get those guns it'll be even better."
"Yeah, it will be. And while we're out, we could probably pick some more stuff up. You know, from the local Walmart or something." Drew suggested. I was liking the new Drew, and I was hoping that his good mood would last for a long time. I didn't like having to live with a moody guy that snapped at me every five seconds, and he actually seemed pretty nice.
"We could try," Andy said. "But first we need to figure out how to get to her house. Where did you live?"
"I could direct you there as soon as we get some place familiar. I wasn't paying too much attention when I followed you guys here, but I'm sure that when we hit the road I'll remember the way." I admitted.
"Well, my car's got a GPS that could take us there. You could just follow us in your car," Andy suggested looking at Drew who seemed as if he disapproved. "..Well actually, yeah that's a waste of gas, so you come along with us. What do you think we should bring?"
"Our 'weapons' for definite, some water and food, just not the cereal. I mean it was a good idea to pick it up, but it's so dry it's gonna make us run out of water a lot faster than we want. What else did you bring?" Drew asked.
"I got some beans and soup and stuff, I guess that'd be good." I replied, thinking back to the guy at the gas station who I really wish I'd helped.
"Cans of stuff are really what we need. They'll last for ages and there's loads of them around usually, just I'm not sure about now. We could try check some stores for some though." Andy said.
"More cans than people," Drew laughed. "And yeah, I think we should try. Where did you even get all this stuff anyway?"
"There was this guy I met, at a gas station. He was all alone in the store, and when I walked in he pointed a gun at me. I was so confused as to what was going on, but he seemed pretty sure of everything happening, and he just let me take my gas and as much food as I could carry and go. I really wish I'd thanked him." I sighed.
"Well, do you think he's still there? Do you think he could help us?" Drew asked.
"We could try and find him," Andy said. "It could be good for us."
"I'd like to," I said. "And maybe he'd agree to pack up and come along with us. He had a gun and ammo, so he could help us on the way to my house in case we run into anything."
"Sounds like a plan!" Drew said excitedly. He really had perked up since yesterday.
"It's a plan." Andy smiled as he opened the hatch.
