Don’t drink all the beer, it’s mine.
"So.. zombies huh?" Luca asks, slightly muffled from the food in his mouth. "Yeah man, i- i don't really know, i mean don't you think the news would say something if it was? I can't be the only one who's seen these.. things." JJ says, voice shaky, desperately trying to wrap his head around whatever the fuck is happening "I mean we could go investigate" Lucas suggest shrugging his shoulders. "And what? Get our faces eaten off? I'm not skilled with any weapon and I highly doubt you are either, we'd DIE" JJ says defensively, i mean c'mon was Lucas not listening to anything he said earlier? "C'mon man it was just a suggestion, can't blame me for being curious, and I AM skilled with weapons actually." Lucas responds, sounding strangely calm despite the situation "Shit really? What weapons" JJ asks "Basic guns mostly, my dad had a few and a dude will get curious, i also played baseball for a few years so i'm sure i could knock off a zombie head or two" Lucas replies with a slight laugh, JJ doesn't really feel the need to respond, he just nods his head 'at least i wandered into the house of a dude who knows how to use guns' he thinks to himself, grateful he might have some chance at surviving
"Alright since you're staying here now I guess? I can show you around and find a room for you." Lucas says to JJ, standing up so he can show him around "This is my room, you can stay here if you want I don't mind sharing, This is my dads room, you could stay here too if you rather have a space to yourself, and down the hall to the left is the bathroom, you've seen the kitchen and living room already" Lucas says finishing the tour of the small house. "I guess i'll just take your dads room.." JJ says, nervously going to set his bag on the bed. "Cool, if you need me i'll be in my room trying to sleep, I don't really have any rules just don't drink all the beer it's mine, and obviously don't let any damn zombies in, wake me up if you need anything" Lucas says walking into his bedroom and shutting the door most of the way behind him, leaving it cracked so he can hear if anything happens.
"AUGHH JJ GET IT OFF" JJ jumps from his sleep, not recognizing his new surroundings at first. "Fuck.. it was just a nightmare" he whispers to himself, sitting up from his, well Lucas' dads bed in a cold sweat, his face sticky from tears 'was i crying in my sleep?' he thinks to himself as he wipes his face. He lays back down trying to get back to sleep, the only thing he can hear is his sister's screams, the only thing he sees when he closes his eyes is his sister.. Blood gushing from her half eaten face, his brother desperately trying to stop the bleeding, the zombie laying on the floor, skin from his sister's face still in its mouth.
*knock knock knock* JJ jumps again 'god please not another one of those things' he thinks to himself, reaching off the bed and grabbing the axe he placed beside him before he went to sleep. He stared at the door of his room for what felt like hours.. No more knocking. He layed back down, still holding the axe, trying to relax and ease his mind a little. *knock knock knock* He jumps up again, this time off the bed.
He runs into Lucas' room as fast and quietly as he can "AH FUCK" Lucas jumps awake when JJ opens the door to his room "Hey man, whats going on?" Lucas asks, voice deep and you can tell he'd been sleeping "I hear something.. Knocking." JJ says, grabbing his axe so hard his knuckles are white. "Fuck okay" Lucas says sitting up and going towards his dresser, pulling out a small pistol from underneath some clothes. He walks towards the living room and looks out the window "I don't see anything man, maybe you're paranoid from earlier?" Lucas asks JJ with a hint of concern in his voice, opening the curtain and gesturing to JJ to look out the window for himself. *knock knock knock* They both jump and look at each other with wide eyes, Lucas walks over to the source of the knocking, the front door.
"Do I open it?" he asks JJ, hands slightly shaky "I don't know?! I guess? It doesn't seem like it's gonna stop, if it's a zombie we kill it and get it over with" JJ says quietly, not wanting whatever it is to hear him. Lucas slowly unlocks the front door, opening it with his gun wielded in front of him. "Dude.. it's a bird" Lucas says as quietly as he can, laughing as he talks. JJ moves from behind him to see it, turning on his phone flashlight to get a better look. It's a small black bird.. A crow. JJ immediately tears up remembering the words his brother told him "look for the crows kid, that'll be me." Looking closer he sees it has something in its beak.. JJ picks it up and it's a small green rock, he quickly puts it in his pocket and reaches out slowly to pet the crow only for it to fly away. He watches as the bird.. his brother flies out of sight.
