Cold Veins and Hollow Hearts

my mind was slowly comeing back to me as i hear and feel my surroundings. i can hear the ground moving under me, but im not fully naked.

I am inside a vehicle. i can also feel that there is alot of space, but my head was laying on something soft, and warm. a persons shoulder? i supposse.

what happend? i slowly try to open my eyes to dim lighting to see that we are inside of a u-haul truck. i finally remember that we where picking up one of andys friends. his name was Jeremy or something. when i get a good look at what im laying on, i realise that its not a shoulder, but a chest.

i look around my body to see that i am laying on someones lap. "your up." a low groggy voice spoke, which i knew was andy. the noise so close i could feel the vocals off his neck. i look up just to make sure.

sure was, there was a tired looking andy, staring right at me with his bright blue eyes. i have always wondered why his eyes are so bright.

"what happend?" my voice straighned in order for him to hear me. I desperatly want some water. "when you went to the car, one of those things attacked you. you held him off pretty good, then i heard you scream for me. i ran threw the parking lot and tackeld the son of a bitch."

i also realised i was very tired. probably even more than i should have. i coughed as i made an "oh". "here have some water." he streached and handed me a bottle. i wonder how many we have left. i know that i brought four packs. but we have got to make it last.

so now i remember what happend. I passed out due to tiredness from keeping the enfected from chomping me neck. it took alot of strength. now im here, laying down on andys lap, wearing someones hoodie.

it smelled like mckalas perfume so i assume its her college hoodie that she got at the beginning of the school year. "why am i on your lap?" i ask, wondering why i was literally sleeping on him. "well, it would be pretty un comftorable to sleep on the cold ground of a truck, so i thought it would be more comftorable for you. i mean, ashley and micky are cuddled up to." he points accross us.

mckala was across snoring quetly on ashleys chest, like i was with andy, as i see that ashleys arms are wrapped loosley around her. honsetly, since we have met up with the guys since the apocalypse started, micky and ashley have been so close, even though its been two days. or has it been. how long have i been out? "more than a couple hours."

andy lazily answered. did i say that out loud? i guess, i was just so tired. but i knew if i fell asleep again, i would be out for a couple more hours. "oh" i whispered to myself. then i felt the truck come to a complete stop. where are we? are we still in california? how many hours? i am assuming alot, because once the uhaul open, bright light came running threw the truck as cc and jeremy came threw.

i finally looked around. i noticed that ashley was now up and jumps off the truck. as i see micky strecthingand yawning, then she gets a glance up at me. "hey, cookie." she smiles. "i thought you where never going to wake up. im so glad your okay." she said as she stood by me. i realized that me and andy had still been laying on the truck ground, me still on him. i get up and stretch. embracing my best friend.

"where are we?" i ask cc as we jumped off the back, andy behind me as micky was beside me. "im not sure what state, but we are in some woods on the edge of california im assuming. where trying to get as far away from the city as possible." cc explained as i looked at my surroundings. forest. and i looked to my left to see a nice lake.

i could assume that we where in the deep forest becuase if i look after the lake, there where hundreds of layers of trees, and forest. there where birds chirping, and everything was eerly quit, like nobody was left in the world. in a way, it was nice, but in a nother way, it was frightning. "okay everyone, i know its really hot, and we all stink, so lets all get washed up. i will start a fire, because its going to get dark in a bit." i felt my hair stick to the back of my neck as i felt the heat of the sun hit down on all of us.

we all nod and i grab some towels as i put my hair up in a messy bun, as i made my way back to the lake. as i realised all of the boys where just stripping all of there clothes to there boxers. one by one they all got in. accept for micky. she was off to the side, holding herself. i walked over and dropped the towels by her.

"are we gonna get in?" i asked her pulling my shirt off. she looks at me and giigles, as she pulls hers off as well. "what if all the boys stare at me?" she questions. "your not the only girl here, haha. and anyways, there boys of course there gonna be looking. atleast we dont have to be nude!" i laugh. she just smiles and continues stripping.

after a few cat calls and whistling we are stripped besides our bras and underwear. we slowly walk into the cool water where the boys are swimming around, and taking everthing in. i turn around to dunk the water up to my neck, to get the full effect.

"nice tattoo." i heard andy mumble behind me. i just remembered that i had an indian dream catcher on the back of my neck. "thanks." i turn to smile up to him ,to see that he has a goofy grin on his face, but a hint of sadness in his eyes. "got any more?" i nodd, i also show him my other ones. first i showed him my three stars on my hip, then i showed him my little anchor on my ankle, and the one that was most important to me. the name chris under neath my left breast, where my heart would be.

"whos chris?" andy asked as i realised thatmy eyes began to water. "he was my little brother.." i say bluntly, wiping away the tear that amost thretened my somewhat tan cheek. "what happened to him?" he asked me quetly, once he realised that my mood has changed from relaxed, to uncomftorable.

"m-me and my family where in a car accident.. he-he was in the um.. passenger seat.." i spoke out, my voice full of tears as they threatened to spill out of my eyes.

suck it up kelley! dont cry like a little child in front of him, he will think your a baby! i told myself not to cry but that just made me want to cry anymore. "oh my god im so sorry, i- i didnt know.." he mumbled with sympathy. "its alright.. you didnt know." i felt my lips tremble as i felt more tears spill out of my eyes.

before i knew it i was pulled into strong arms, and i was letting the tears spill out as i sobbed quietly in andys chest. a few minute later me and andy where just quetly drifting in the water togethor, i was still thinnking about my episode. and i realised that andy has been very supportive with me.

he is just to kind, and he is the bestest friend i could ever had. i can actualy trust him, i have never told any body about chris besides micky. as everybody finally soaked in the cool water. we got out and dried off. hours later we where sitting on the edge of the truck, all of us staring into the fire that cc made a couple hours ago.

you could tell that it was a comftorable silence. there where yawns here and there, and about another hour later, everybody was behind me, sleeping in the back of the truck. i guess its been a long day for all of them, i was passed out for most of it, so i wouldent know. well not everybody was sleeping. andy was the only one still up besides me, and cc, but he went to go use the bathroom. andys arm was drapped lazily over my tiny frame as i layed my head tiredly on his shoulder.

both of us clealry lost in thought, then i felt andy shrugging reaching for something. then i look over to see that he has a pack of cigarettes, and one slipped in between his lips. he looked over to me and offered me one. my dumbass took it and held it in my hand as he light his and took a drag. he handed me the lighter. then i realised i had no idea what i was doing. "uhh. ive never smoked before..' i quetly mumbled, trying not to wake the others

. "oh..uhm." andy quetly thought what he was going to do. "well, you put it in your mouth, then you light the end, at first lightly breath it in, and let it flow out. its easy." he demonstrated with his. after i lit mine, i put it to my lips and sucked, like andy told me, and then i blew out the minty smoke. to be honest i really liked it.

"thanks." i mumble.
"yeah no problem." he told me.

i felt the need to thank him for everthing, to let him know that i really do see how he is treating me. he is so amazingly sweet, and kind..and really hot.. what the hell am i saying?

"no..thank you.. for everthing." i told him. "for caring about me, and for being so kind.." i mumble. the next thing i knew andy broght my chin up, so i was looking directly into his still light eyes. "i really like you kelley..alot." he told me. i felt my cheeks grow really warm, as i took his hand that was holding my chind, and i wrappd it around my own.

"and.. i think im falling for you.." he spoke, his low voice vibrating in the air as i feel his eyes burn threw mine. so i did all i could think of doing. i closed my eyes, as he did himself, and i brought my lips, slowly, up to his, as our lips molded togehtor. his plump lips meeting mine, as his cool lip ring grazed over my bottom lips, as our lips moved in sync.

i felt so much passion, and care in that one little kiss as i felt andys hand graze my cheek, as our lips loose each others, and our foreheads meet, my eyes finally open to see his light blue eyes looking at me with comfort. the dim fire light dancing off andys wavy hair. then i realised the most important thing that could change our relationship..

I just kissed Andy.
