Unholy Nightmare

As I waited for night to come, I was taking the dynamite I had brought up from the room underneath the shed and I was strapping 2 sticks to each RC car. I figured once we were hit with a large group of the flesh eaters, one of us could use these to blow some of them up. Hopefully this idea will work. I watched the guys came in as the light outside was fading and they could no longer work on the fence. You could see the sweat that had drenched their clothing and I knew they would be wanting a good shower after they had eaten. Luckily I wasn't the one who was cooking tonight. Before the world went to...well you know, Diamond was a great chef for a 5 star restaurant here in Nevada. She didn't want to lose her ability to cook well so she opt to cook in my place. I was more nervous about talking to Matt than hungry so I had went to my room to get everything set up for mine and Matt's talk. I just hope it goes good without any kind of distractions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Matt's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Diamonds cooking was so damn good. I mean Violet can cook but there's nothing like tasting the food that's been prepared by a 5 star restaurant's chef. After I had eaten, I went to my room to take a much needed shower. I swear I have never stunk as bad as I do now. I pushed the door open to my room and went inside. I grabbed some of my clothes and headed into the shower. The warm water did wonders for my aching muscles and I watched the dirt ad grime swirl down the drain. I stepped out when I was completely cleaned and dressed myself. My dirty clothes would have to be washed and I think I'll discuss that with the others in the morning about what day they want to have their clothes washed. I left the bathroom and seen a folded piece of paper laying on my pillow. I unfolded the note addressed to me and began reading.

Matt,

Please come to my room. There's something we need to talk about and this time it is important.

-Violet

I wonder what she wants to talk about? I guess I'll have to find that out once I get to her room. I left my room with the note in hand and found my way down the hall to hers. I knocked quietly and the door opened.

"Come on in Matt." she said and as I did I seen a chair pulled up next to her bed and her back pack laying on it. Was she thinking about leaving?

"What's going on Violet?" I asked in all concern.

"Do you remember the day we picked up those people and I said I needed to tell you something but then the flesh eaters came but then I said it wasn't important?"

"Yeah I remember. It's hard to forget something like that." I said chuckling but she didn't seem amused.

"What's wrong Violet? Your letter said it was important." Without saying a word she pulled a small box out of her back pack and handed it to me. I looked down and seen it was a refill for an inhaler.

"Jimmy was the first one to find out about it."

"Violet...why didn't you tell us?" I asked placing my hand on her hand.

"I didn't want anyone looking after me. I've been able to control this problem for years and I didn't want people hounding my every step just to make sure I didn't have an attack."

"That's understandable Vi but...but you know this can kill you. If one of us didn't have an inhaler while with you and you suddenly started having an attack...we would freak out and we can't lose another part of this family." I said truthfully. I remember the day Jimmy's sister had a very bad asthma attack and...and she died because she couldn't get to her inhaler.

"I know Matt and I'm sorry."

"Hey it's alright. At least you told me. I would've hated to have found out any other way." I said and dug through her bag again and brought out 3 more.

"Give these to Johnny, Zacky, and Brian but when you tell them who this is for...please make sure they know that I don't want their sympathy or pity. I want them to treat me exactly how they've been doing before they knew about my asthma. That goes for you too Matt."

"Don't worry. I'll get them alone and give these out and tell them exactly what you said." I said taking the refills from her.

"Thanks Matt...I'll see you in the morning." I nodded and she hugged me tightly. I couldn't help but embrace her back. She's been through a lot and she's still going through so much with this condition. I only hope that she doesn't have a severe attack. I don't think I could ever lose this little girl.

Did Matt just say what I think he said! Do you think Matt is having feelings as a father for this 15 year old girl?
