The Wicked End
Don't Tell Me
* Caytie Perkins
"HAYLIE ", I yelled at her to get up and answer the ringing phone. Which I was NOT going to get up and do. HER job not mine.
I got lifted up to see if she was getting up. She was getting up and mumbling something under her breathe along the lines of
" It's not my phone, I'm not the one who stayed up all night helping you sort out problems" and whatever else that she said.
She was wearing the outfit that I got her for her birthday, as an earlier present. Just an ahead of time thing because I knew that, when the time came for me to actually get her something I would be broke, so I was being smart and thinking.
I watched as her facial expression changed from simple glad you called face to the WTF face in under five seconds.
"Why do we need all of that?" She asked.
I got up from bed to assist her in the problem. I quickly checked out my pj's and grinned.
She actually could save her money and get me something on my actual birthday.... but oh well. Who cares?
"What's up?" I asked.
She held her hand over the phone. "They said for us to pack thing's that mean the world to us, food clothes and water and they will pick us up soon." She whispered.
"Hold up! Why do we need to do that?" I asked frantic to know the answer.
I took the phone from Haylie and said.
"Why the hell do we need to leave our comfy beds and do all of that? Are you guys planning a kid-nap girls night out?" I asked annoyed.
"No we really didn't want to have to explain anything until we got there but... it's the apocalypse.... a zombie apocalypse to be exact and we need to get out of here as soon as possible." Alex said over the phone.
"Alright were listening." I said acting interested.
Haylie shot me a panicky look but I just held a hand up to her to let her know to go along with the little prank they were trying to pull on us.
"Yeah we wanna know when this happened." She asked lightly grinning a bit. We loved prank's in general. But especially when we got back at them.
"No I know exactly what you two are thinking but you have to believe us, we don't want to lose you guy's too." Alex said her voice almost in a whisper that could bring tears to your eyes.
"Jordyn was almost on the brink of tears a minute ago when Zoey mentioned 'What if you guys aren't alive'." Alex said adding on to the statement.
That's when then the realization hit us and dawned on us that. They wouldn't be this scared and panicked for us if this wasn't really happening.
Two word's were all we needed to say. "Mom...Dad." We said and dropped the phone running downstair's through the living room and into the kitchen.
The T.V. was on and sure enough they were broadcasting what Alex,Jordyn and Zoey,was telling us. Zombie apocalypse and widespread panic throughout the nation. Mom and Dad were sitting at the kitchen table drinking their morning coffee and watching T.V. and laughing at what they thought wasn't true. They thought it was all a joke.
"Mom, Dad, we have to leave NOW!" I commanded them.
They just laughed in my face. I can't let them do this. I was pulled away from them by Haylie and she whispered to me.
"Dude, we need to get thing's before they get here, you go pack maybe I can convince them."She said holding up a weak grin.
I didn't want to leave her. Alone with them anyway. If zombie's actually came bursting through the door's and window's there's two of them and one of her. They would throw her in front of the zombie's and take off. I know they would.
She just pushed me towards the stairs and sat in front of Mom and Dad. Gradually getting their attention.
I ran upstairs into our room grabbing all of my favorite clothes and her stuff and that barely filled one suitcase. But it was a lot of clothes. I grabbed her phone and mine, my favorite cup and her favorite stuff. Some make-up and nail polish for entertainment. Our chargers. My handy gun and we just happened to have a trench knife and a Z.E.R.O. kit that we bought on-line which actually comes in use now. Zombie.Extermination.Research.Operations. A box of twinkies and our skittle stash. A couple of bottles of Jack Daniel's that I swiped from my parent's. Ramen noodles.Monster.Mac and Cheese.Snickers and Reeses.
Now you might be wondering why we had all of that in our room. But when you get in trouble and you're not allowed to have dinner,or they make you go on a diet it's good to have back-up food. This was packed in my one suitcase and my Mustache backpack and her billabong blue ocean preservation backpack. I also packed the normal toiletries and product's and hair and body things and any extra clothes I thought I might need.
I ran back downstairs everything in hand to see Haylie in tears. The rent's gave me a questioning look because of the three bag's I had.
I rolled my eyes. "Moving out early?" Mom joked.
"No." I stated. Then in the nick of time there was a knock on the door. I opened the door quickly and let them in.
"Alright girl's have fun! Don't come home back soon!" Dad laughed at us.
My sister gave them one last pleading look. But they ignored her completely, I just grabbed her arm and as the rest of the girl's did us an Jordyn did the heavy lifting grabbing our bags. Alexis leading us to the car. We all climbed in as they handed us each a weapon. They tossed our stuff in the trunk and they got in. Zoey revved up the engine and we were off driving down the road.
