I'm Here
Elyza P.O.V again (This is a fun p.o.v sorry not sorry)
I look out at the ocean, wearing my Ray-Ban sun glasses as absentmindedly strum the guitar in my lap. I look over to my right to see Strand, Chris, Alicia and Travis talking about where to head to next and pointing at a map. I look over to my left and see Daniel and Ofelia talking to Madison and laughing as they do, but Daniel just smiles. 'They seem to be close, I wonder how long they have been together' I think to myself as I see a shadow come over and I look up, seeing Nick standing there. I smile and pat the chair next to me, him nodding once before sitting down "Hey, it's Elyza right?" He asks and I chuckle "No, it's James. James Bond" I joke, my accent heavy since I've kept quite for awhile now and he laughs before leaning back in his chair. I keep slowly and softly strumming the guitar as we sit in silence. It should be awkward, but it's not; I'm one who usually appreciates the silence between me and a person because it shows if I am comfortable with said person. Nick eventually breaks the silence by clearing his throat and turning to me, making me look at him out of respect and wanting to make a good impression on the family of the girl I like. He smiles before looking down at his hand then looking up at me once more, his face more serious than before "Elyza, I need you to tell me something. Do you love my sister?" He asks and my eyes flicker over to Alicia as she stands there, her hands in my leather jacket I let her borrow since hers is dirty. I hide a smirk that forms on my lips as I see her smile over at me before I turn back to her brother "Love is a strong word, especially since I'm only 19 and she's 17. But considering the world around us is crumbling apart, I would say yes, I do" I say and he nods, thinking over the information I gave him and he looks me dead in the eyes "If the world wasn't falling apart, would you love her?" He asks and I set the guitar down, looking over at Alicia once again "I know my feelings wouldn't change, and I probably would hold back on saying 'I love you' to keep her form freaking out... but I definitely would still love her" I asy and he turns completely to me, my hands crossing over my chest and I raise an eyebrow.
"You have to promise me you'll take care of her, make her happy, and make sure she doesn't get hurt. Keep an eye on her, the world may be going to shit but that doesn't mean she needs to harden up at such a young age, you know? I want her to at least get to her birthday without killing a walker, and luckily that is tomorrow. I want you to help me make every birthday special, even the ones I won't be around for. You need to take care of my sister, and never ever let anything bad happen to her, got it? Promise me" He says and I look at his eyes, taking his hands in mine and nodding "You didn't even have to tell me to do that. I would risk my life to keep her alive, she means that much to me, Nick" I say and nod "I'll make sure her birthday is special. We're still docked, how about in an hour we head out and get her some gifts?" I ask and he nods, bringing me into a hug tighter than I expected. I hug back and chuckle, letting go after a minute "Alright, Nicky. I need you to grab a weapon of your choice and a duffle bag, I'll tell Travis and them we're going out on a run." I pat his leg and stand up, walking over to the stairs and jogging up them to reach the three of them. I smile back at Alicia before wrapping an arm around her waist and kissing her temple, getting a glare from Chris before he looks back at a map. I raise an eyebrow before looking over at Travis "Nick and I are going on a run, we'll be back in about an hour or two" I say and feel Alicia's grip on my hand tighten as my hand lays on her hip "I'll come with you" She says and I look down at her "So will I" Chris jumps up and I shake my head "No, Nick and I are just going out" I say and look down at Alicia, turning her head and cupping her cheeks "Don't worry, this badass Aussie will come back to her princess" I whisper and smirk before winking and she smiles, relaxing against me before I kiss her softly, letting the kiss linger before hearing a groan. I pull away and look over at Chris stomping down the stairs "I think someone is jealous of me" I say and chuckle before kissing Alicia's forehead "Take care of Drama Queen for me while I'm gone" I say to Travis and he chuckles before the brunette shoves me "Fuck you" She says and I laugh, backing down the stairs "I know you want to, maybe later though" I say and wink, making her blush before I head over to my room and grab my knifes and a spare sweatshirt of mine, grabbing a duffle bag and going to Nick's room.
I knock and he comes out, nodding at me and we head off of the boat, going over to a motorcycle and getting on "Is this yours?" He asks and I shake my head, sighing slightly "No, I found her parked in a drive way, I use to have one but I obviously don't anymore so I'm borrowing this one" I say and pat the seat behind me before starting the engine, Nick situation himself behind me and carefully putting his hands on my waist as I sit in front of him. "I'm not as fragile as you think" I say and laugh before feeling him grab me before I start riding down the road, swerving away from a few walkers. I drive down the road for about ten minutes before arriving at a mall, parking the bike near the entrance and getting off, putting a lock on the wheel and taking the keys. Nick raises an eyebrow and I raise one back "It's the end of the world, do you really think there aren't scavengers around here?" I say and he shrugs, nodding before I take my knife out and open the mall door, quietly heading inside as Nick clutches a hammer. I turn to him and press a finger to my mouth before turning back and heading into a random clothing store, looking around before standing up and heading over to grab a few flannels "What's her size?" I ask and turn to Nick, seeing him looking at shorts and jeans for her "She's a medium" He says over his shoulder before I grab all the medium flannels I can before heading over and grabbing her a sweatshirt for her, getting another leather jacket for me. I smirk as I pick up some lingerie and quickly stuffing it into my bag before Nick can see. We head over to another store and I grab a bunch of pencils and pens and a sketch pad before we go to another store "This is what she will like" He says and heads over to a candle section "Her favorite is vanilla, but she loves all" He says and starts dumping a bunch of candles into his bag. I smile and shake my head before going to the place across the hall and grabbing some more food, heaving my bag over my shoulder. I look over at Nick and he puts a few more things in his bag before we head to the door.
"Fuck" I mumble and pull my gun from over my shoulder "You see that store there? Grab a bat, then act intimidating" I hiss before kicking the door open and pointing the gun at a man trying to steal my bike "Get the fuck away or you're getting a bullet in the skull" I say, my voice hard and Nick stands next to me, bat over his shoulder as he glares at the guy,
"Sure, girl. Like you would shoot me and attract all the attention of all the walkers in a five mile radius" He says and continues cutting through the chain I put there. I growl and hand Nick my gun before taking the bat from him "No, but I would break your knee caps and leave you for the walkers" I growl and hit the mans shoulder, making him holler out in pain. He backs up and I keep walking towards him with the bat "Alright, bitch. Calm down, I'm going" He says and runs off, clutching his shoulder. I grit my teeth before looking back at Nick, walking over to him and evening my breathing before taking the fun and putting the strap across my body "Not gonna lie, that was badass" I smile and unchain the bike, leaving it there and starting up the cycle once more as Nick holds my waist. I drive off and head back to the boat.
After about ten minutes again we are back at the peer, getting off the bike and I keep the keys, just incase. We walk up to the boat and I stop Nick, handing him some medications "I grabbed a bunch of medical supplies, but Alicia told me about your... problem. You better fucking save these because I'm not giving you more and I'm the only one who knows where the rest are" I say and point a finger, glaring at him before he raises his hands in defense "Alright, I'll ration them" He says and I smile, nudging him before heading up the stairs "Here, I'll take these" I say and take the duffle bags to my room, putting them in the closet before hearing a knock at my door. I make sure everything is hidden before I open the door "Hey, gorgeous" I say and chuckle as Alicia pushes her way into the room, I close the door and turn to her only to see her push me against the door "Someone's feisty" I tease and smirk before she presses her lips against mine hungrily. I kiss back with the same amount of passion and lust as my hands run over her hips, moving down to her bum and squeezing before hearing her let out a gasp. I chuckle and move my lips to her neck, kissing and nipping and sucking trying to find that one spot. I suck right below her jawline near her ear and she puts all her weight on me, letting out a low moan. I shudder at the sound admitted from her and I flip us around, pinning her against the door before feeling her hands working up my shirt and I stop her "Whoa there, princess" I whisper and pull back, looking at her swollen lips from the kiss and I smile as my eyes trail up to her dark green ones "We have time, alright? Tomorrow we're going to be in the middle of the ocean, relax. I'll make sure it happens soon" I whisper and kiss her deeply but not as rushed as before. I pull my jacket off her and walk over to the bed, looking outside to see it has gotten dark.
"We should sleep, tomorrow is a big day" I say, and she gives me a confused look before I smile and push her down onto the bed, pulling off my jeans and main shirt to leave me in my boy shorts and my tank top. I crawl into bed and set my bra down on my clothes and Alicia soon follows my movements and lays there in her stained, dirt covered shirt and her clean panties "Go over to the dresser, you can borrow my shirt" I say and fix the blanket so she can get under once she changes shirts. Her back is to me and I notice a small infinity tattoo on her neck and I smile, looking at the tattoo that goes down her back before watching it get covered with a shirt "That's a gorgeous tattoo, how long have you had it?" I ask and she turns to me, getting under the covers and curling up against me "About a year, don't tell my mom, she'll flip" She smile and giggles and I chuckle, pulling her against me as my eyes suddenly become heavy along with hers from the looks of it.
"Sleep, Alicia. I'll see you in the morning" I whisper and kiss her forehead, closing my eyes as I yawn and feel myself quickly falling asleep.
"Goodnight, Elyza.... I love you" She whispers and I swear my heart skips a beat before I smile, pulling her as close as possible "I love you too" I whisper and lay there, listening to her breathing evening.
I hear a faint voice in the back of my head whisper something and I yawn "Reshop, Heda" I mumble, letting the voice push out the words and I soon follow the heavenly sleep taking over my body.
