It's the year 20XX and I'm right now decided whether we should go back or leave. "We'll go back but we can't bring Kai," I mumbled and the others nodded agreeing with me. "It's safer for Kai to be them than us. If anything were to happen to us, they can raise him." I added, looking at where Kai sleeping.
"Should we leave now?" Vic asked and I thought for a moment. It was dark out and most likely not a safe time but who knows what's going on back there. "We should leave now, It maybe dangerous but our friends are in a worse danger," Joel said as if he read my mind. "Pack up guys. If we're alive, we'll come back for Kai." I stood up and went to my backpack.
"Vic, could you write a note so they know where we're heading? Also tell them, if we survive we'll come back for Kai." Vic wrote a note just like I requested, it said how we were going back and how we planned to help fight the monster. Victoria handed me the note and I placed it right next to Kai. I gave him a quick kiss and was ready to leave.
"Let's go," we quickly left the building and started running towards our place. After a bit, we spotted a group of zombies and hid. "They're not leaving anytime soon so let's just stay here until morning," Vic said and we agreed, we set our sleeping bags up and laid down but none of us could sleep. "Why are you guys going back?" Joel asked out of the blue and I just sadly smiled.
"I don't want our friends to die by themselves if there's a chance we could help them. Plus Val made a promise to me and he needs to be alive to keep it," I gave them my reason and I closed my eyes, not really sleeping just resting them. "What about you, Vi?" Joel asked and Vic sounded like she was thinking.
"I guess you guys already knew that I liked Alex but that just faded. I never really gave it a thought but I think Ro likes me and I think I like her too but she's my best friend and I don't know how she actually feels. She's always been by my side, protecting me and making me laugh when I was sad."
"I want to tell her how I feel before any of us die," Vic finished, I smiled and told her what Rosh really thinks. "Rosh actually like you, I think it's love but I'm not sure." I blurted out the truth and it was just silent for a few minutes. "Joe, you asked us why we're going back. What about you?"
"When we left, Ri looked so heartbroken and disappointed. I don't know why but that makes my chest hurt. When I close my eyes, all I can see is her beautiful face. Do you guys remember months back we separated and had to get to this town?" I nodded and I think Vic did too.
"I got hurt protecting her and she keep whining about it so I had to shut her up somehow. I didn't know what to do so I kissed her. I was so embarrassed so I just pretended to fall asleep right after. Everytime she brought it up, I just tried to get away from the conversation but now I wish I didn't. I want to go back for her," He smiled to himself like he had a flashback of what happened.
"Then we're all going back for the ones we love," I joked and the others laughed with me. "Hey looks like the zombies aren't there. We should get going," Vic pointed out and I sat up immediately, scaring the shit out of Joel. "Dude!" He yelled and I just laughed apologizing while getting ready to leave.
"Wait I hear footsteps!" Vic whisper yelled and we all stood as silently as possible to attract any unwanted attention. We heard the footsteps get near us so I did the most idiotic thing someone could do, I sprinted out of my hiding spot to where we needed to get. Vic and Joel actually followed behind me and we kept running not even daring to turn around.
"If we die, I just want to say I love you guys." I screamed and kept my pace up. "If we survive this, I promise to never prank you both ever again." Joel cried, if we weren't running for our lives I would have ended laughing on the ground. "Papa," a tiny voice cried out, I stopped and turned around to see the idiots and Kai.
"For fucks sake," I cursed under my breath and stormed up to them. "What were you guys thinking following us?" I asked while I took a sobbing little Kai into my arms. Kai cried into my shoulder and I just glared at the idiots for an explanation. "We thought its brave what you guys are doing so we decided to tag along."
"Why is Kai also here?" I asked as I rocked the little guy. "We all wanted to come and we couldn't just leave him there alone," Emily explained, I groaned in annoyance. "Emily, take Kai and hide back where you guys were. If we don't return in a week and then leave this place."
Emily looked hesitant but she took Kai who cried again once he was out of my arms. "Baby, papa promises he'll come get you, okay? Go with Emily, okay?" I gave him a little kiss and combed back his hair. Emily said her goodbyes to her friends and started running from where we were at. I'm going to miss my little boy.
