A Shooters Crush

Chapter 2

The sunlight shining from my curtains is what awoke me the next morning, that and Shawn's constant pounding on my door.
"I'm up," I yelled as I stood from the make shift bed, which was really just a bunch of blankets and pillows on top of a matress. My room was quite comfy, it had my bed, a dresser we haulded in and fabric decorating the walls. I striped my over sized t-shirt off leaving me in my underwear. I put on my usual cloths; black leggings, grey tank top, an olive green coat, black gloves, and my choker. I had just finished putting my boots on when a knock came.
"Come in," I said standing up to meet Vic "morning," he said ruffling my already messy bed head.
"Good morning," I said trying to fix my hair, "so who all's going on this run? Just me and you," I asked as we walked towards the dining area,
"No George is coming and that 10k guy," Vic said as we walked in.
Good mornings were exchanged along with food, Otto put a hand on my shoulder, "how ya doing kid," he asked to where no one but us could hear,"I'll be fine, you guys worry to much," I said. Sam came over and joined us, "y'all know what today is don't you," he asked as we nodded.
"Has anyone seen Oliver," I asked, but that was answered when he came out of his room, holding a whiskey bottle.
"Shadow! Come here" He yelled as I stood up and followed him out of sight.
"You know what today is don't you," he asked as I could smell the alcohol on his breath, I nodded my head. He threw the bottle as it shattered by my head making me flinch, he grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled back making me whimper in pain.
"Your the reason he's dead, if only it had been you," he said as he threw me to the floor and walked off. I let a few tears slip down my cheeks when I heard foot steps,"Shadow," 10k asked as I stood up,"I'm fine," I mumbled, "tell George and Vic I'm ready when they are," I said walking to my room.
***********************
I walked out the compound and towards the truck were Vic, George, and 10k were waiting. "Ready," they asked as I nodded and climbed in the truck with the others. The drive to the little town was gonna be a good thirty minutes, I felt eyes on me as I turn catching 10k staring. "Can I help you," I asked as he blushed and looked away after being caught. " you um didn't bring your gun," he said, "I only use that for big things, this is just a run into town so I only brought my hand guns and bat," I told him as we felt the car come to a stop. Vic and George dropped us right outside of the run down town, if we find a good haul I send up a flare and if not we go back to the truck.
*********************
10k and I had been walking through the town for a good while, we had found a good amount of stuff and I was just about ready to send off a flare. "I haven't seen an Z's around here that's strange," I heard 10k mumble as we approach one of the last buildings we had to check. I opened the door with caution as one z came running towards me, 10k took it down with his sling shot. "Thanks," I said as more z's started to come towards us, "quick this way," I said grabbing his arm and running towards a small run down shack. As we reached the door I had enough time to shoot off a flare before we slammed the door shut and put our bodies against it as they tried to get in.
"That was close, are you ok" he asked as I nodded my head, " we might be in here for a while" I said getting comfy against the door. 10k sat next to me as the zombies continued to pound on the door, "why 10 thousand" I asked "its the number of zombies I'm gonna kill" he tells me, "from um what we heard this morning your dad is pretty ruff with you," he tells me. "He's not my dad" I mumbled, he gives me a confused look, "Oliver he's not my dad biologically, I guess since will be here till Vic and George get us I could tell you my story," I say as I turned my head towards him, and took a deep breath.
