Chapter 11 EXTENDED

Flashback

2 years ago

About 50 minutes ago, we were dismissed from school early all happy and pumped up for an awesome Friday night with my friends and girlfriend at a bonfire, now I was inside our local Got Beer store with my best friends Yuki and Rachel and 30 other people taking shelter from whatever the hell was going on outside. To make matters worse, some big booms were going off from a distance, and a siren was wailing loudly. But now my plan is to get us out of here ASAP, and to Wilson Township, which is where Emma is living.

"Okay... okay, I'm getting freaked out now!" Rachel was all hysterical now.

"Rach-" Yuki attempted to say something to her, but Rachel went on.

"There was a woman eating a man, and- and she was gonna come for us! And Greg got his arm bitten off! ohmygodohmygodohm-"

"Shut up!" Yuki grabbed hold of Rachel's arms and looked her straight in the terrified eyes with frustrated but calm ones. "We got off the bus, and we're fine! Look! You're fine, I'm fine, Case is fine."

"So what we do we do now?" I questioned with my voice a little shaky after that face to face experience with the scary looking lady who wanted to bite my face off.

Yuki took in a deep breath. "Well... I think we should stay here." We both gave her a 'you gotta be kidding me' look. "Everyone will calm down soon enough, and somebody will come for help!"

"So you're saying we should just stay here for I dunno how long, right?" I summed up.

"You gotta better idea?!" She asked all irritated at my disagreement.

"Look outside! Lot of abandoned and crashed cars, people panicking and eating each other. You really think holding up in here is the best option?"

"Case has a point!" Rachel said calming down a little. "I don't wanna be near all that shit!"

"And going outside is safer?!" She shouted.

"I need to get to Emma's!" I yelled back.

Yuki just turned around and brought her hands to her face. "Oh my god..."

I egged on. "She's your best friend too!"

"Oh so what are you gonna do? Just RUN over to her neighborhood and see if she's okay?!" She asked. "Its about 5 miles out!"

"Which means it might be safer there!" I reasoned.

"Well unless we can get a car, we're stuck here!" She told me.

"Damn it..." I cursed.

"I can hotwire a car!" Rachel said rapidly.

We both looked at her with a hopeful expression from me and a disapproving one from Yuki

"If we can find one cou-" Rachel interrupted me.

"YES, YOU DUMBASS!" She screamed at me. "Why do you think I brought it up?!"

"It's freaking suicide!" Yuki protested. "We have a much better chance if we stay in this store!"

"But for how long?!" I shouted. "You think this place is just gonna magically make it through all this?"

"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!" Rachel shrieked. "I am going out there, and I'm gonna get a car, hot wire it, and get the fuck outta dodge! You wanna stay here? Fine!" She dashed towards the back exit with me following her.

"Goddammit!" Yuki cursed. "Wait up, you idiots!"

We all made outside to a small parking area with a three cars parked here. Rachel ran to the one closet to her, which was a red old looking Toyota truck. She tried to open the door but failed due to it being locked.

"Doors locked!" She told us. "Find something to break open the windows!"

"Hold up!" I said as I looked around the area to see if there was something that could help us break the glass. Over by the back exit of the beer store, I found a trashcan with a baseball next to it.

"Bingo!" I went over to the baseball, picked it up, and charged the truck hitting the glass with the baseball. The glass looked mostly undamaged, so I banged it again harder making a couple of cracks.

"I can't believe we're doing this..." I heard Yuki say. "We're STEALING someones truck? This is serious guys!"

"Well I don't think the cops care right now, Yuki!" Rachel fired back.

"I can't believe we're doing this..." I heard Yuki say in shock and crying a little bit at our decision to steal a truck just so we can get out of this little area of hell. I can't blame her I mean all our lives we were taught that stealing was horrible.

I gave one last strike at the glass with the ball before it shattered allowing me to open the door to let Rachel do her thing. Yuki and I sat in back locking our doors just as a precaution just waiting for the truck to start.

"Okay, we're good to go!" Rachel told us as she took control of the Toyota. "Hold on, guys!"

Rachel just floored it out of the parking lot, driving like a crazy person getting us the hell out of this chaotic part of town and to Emma's neighborhood praying that she was okay and that things were much better over there.

I don't how or why, but we made it out of there and things were much more calmer now here in this little stretch of grass with a few cars passing by and a few people out in the distance just shuffling through the grass.

"We'll be there soon, guys." Rachel called out front. "You okay back there?"

"We'll live." I replied all gloomy. "Can we hear whats on the radio?"

"Yeah, hold up." Rachel turned on the radio. It was static for a couple of seconds until we heard a broadcast.

"This emergency broadcast is being transmitted at the request of the Pennsylvania State Police. An unknown epidemic is rapidly spreading acro-" Rachel silenced it before the radio would continue.

I sighed. "It's just a repeat..."

"Hey guys..." Rachel started. "About earlier... I'm sorry I said I was going to leave you if you weren't coming... I shouldn't have said something like that."

"It's fine, bud. We got out of that mess, and we're okay." I assured her.

"No! It's not fine! You guys are my best friends and I just can't believe I just went off and was thinking about myself..."

"We were all freaked out." Yuki reminded. "Don't let it eat you up."

"Let's just get to Emma's and we'll talk about what to do next." I said.

We were silent for the rest of the road not trying to think of what happened back there...

Present Day

"Casey?" Beth's voice brought me back into reality.

Daryl and Carol left a few minutes ago leaving Beth and I to ourselves.

"Yeah?"

"You okay? You kinda zoned out?"

"Oh yeah. Yeah I'm fine. Sorry about that."

She gave me a smile. "Eh its fine."

I returned the smile. "So how's Zach?"

She shrugged. "He's good. We just started dating a month ago, but it's nothing serious."

"I understand." I grinned.

She nodded. "He's fun to hang out with."

"That's always good." I said. "He your first guy I take it?"

Beth frowned and shook her head. "No... Before all this... I was dating another boy named Jimmy. We only went out for three months... then Walkers got to him..."

She looked visibly devastated at the thought. I felt like an asshole bringing up a painful memory.

"I'm so sorry, Beth..." Was all I could say.

All of a sudden I felt her arms snake around me and she pulled me in for a hug. I was a bit startled by this, but I found it comforting, so I closed my eyes and hugged her back. We both pulled away smiling at each other.

"Thanks, Casey." Beth said sweetly.

"Anytime, Beth." I replied smiling.

We continued our awkward conversation with some questions and answers and mostly silence, which Beth constantly giggling because of the awkward silence. Looking at Beth was making my heart beat really fast. She keeps her blond hair in a ponytail, her skin is all porcelain smooth looking skin, aqua green eyes and a pretty soft southern accent that gives me butterflies. I never felt like this towards another girl before but I liked it.

Snap out of it, Romeo!

"Hey look!" She said pointing at the front entrance of the prison with a big grin on her face. "The gates opening! Michonnes Back!"

Yuki's POV

A brown metal get opened up letting us in. I looked at this place in awe. I never thought this would be possible! Ever! When I was with my old group we did stay in a place for a bit, but that was before... My friends got separated from us. After that things just went to hell. There were heated arguments, low supplies, and other things that just forced me to leave. That was a month ago. And here I am with the best deal I had ever gotten in my life! I just wish my friends were here...

Michonne got off Midnight, her horse, as well as I, and we were greeted by two men. One was a old man probably in his late sixties to early seventies, with a long beard that made look kinda badass, and the other was a a younger man in his mid to late thirties all sweaty looking probably due to him working in the fields all day.

The younger man and Michonne gave each other a friendly hug. "What did you get for him this time?" He asked in a bit of a raspy voice.

Who was he?

Michonne unloaded a bag from Midnight and wrapped it around her. "Sweets, sweets, and more sweets." She replied grinning.

"You know he's gonna get a sweet tooth if this keeps going on." The man joked.

"Well if he does, not my problem." She laughed.

"I guess not." The man laughed back.

Michonne turned her attention to me. "This is Yuki. Found her on my way back, thought she could stay."

"Well she's welcome to if she wants." He said happily. "Names Rick. Other man is Hershel."

I gave them a friendly nod. "Yuki. Nice to meet you."

It was Hershel's turn to speak. "We had another newcomer yesterday. He was on his own for six months I think it was."

Rick nodded turning his attention to Michonne. "His name's Casey. He and Carl have gotten pretty well in a short amount of time."

My eyes widened.

Did he just say Casey?!

"Casey?" I asked all eccentric. "Rodriguez? Casey Rodriguez?"

Rick looked back at me and nodded surprised that I knew him. I can't believe it! Case is alive!

"You know him?" Rick asked.

I nodded rapidly. "Where is he?"

"Hey guys!" An all too familiar voice came to my ears. I looked up at the hill to see two teenagers walking down towards us. One was a girl with blond hair and sleeveless shirt and the other was a boy with unkempt dark brown hair, slightly tan skin, a Hard Rock T-shirt and a familiar face. He stopped when he lay sights on me and just stood there shocked but quickly said, "Yuki!"

The girl next to him gave him a quizzical look. "You know her?"

I rushed towards my best friend, ramming into him hugging him tightly. "Oh my god..." I hiccuped. "Case..."

He let out a shaky chuckle. "Good to see you too, bud."

"Oh god... I thought you were... When we got split and the swarm... I thought..."

"Hey! It's okay. I'm here." He assured me hugging me tighter.

A small smile appeared on my face. "You're crazy dude..."

There were so many great days in my life, birthdays, Christmas break, the summer party, but right now this moment was at the top of my list. Casey was alive and kicking and we were both in a functioning community. I dunno what I did to have this once in a life time luck, but whatever it was thank god for it. Things are going right for once in this hellish zombie apocalypse.

No Ones POV

Rick, Michonne, and Hershel had huge grins on their faces seeing it was a fantastic feeling seeing two friends reunite after many months. Even Beth was happy to witness it as well.

After what seemed like a eternity of a nice reunion, both Yuki and Casey pulled away with big smiles on their faces.

"Where's Emma?" Yuki asked him beaming with hope and excitement.

Just then Casey's expression turned from all happy to sad just like that when Yuki asked where Emma was. He shook his head sadly looking down at the ground.

Yuki's face was now filled with worry and shock. "Case..? Where i-?" Tears were now forming in her eyes. "She dead?"

Casey didn't respond to her answer because he didn't need to. The silence was enough to let Yuki know that a childhood friend of hers is dead. She let out silent but violent sobs as Casey pulled her in for another hug of comfort over their tragic loss, while everyone else stayed silent in a way of respect and sympathy.

Just then this happy and cheerful reunion has turned into a moment of mourning.

End of Chapter 11. Yuki and Casey finally reunite after six months. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and thanks so much for reading it. You guys are awesome!
