Zombie: Romantic me

Chapter 1

The apocalypse had been around for 3 years or so. People were turning against each other, food was running low, families torn apart, and friends turned into enemies. The world was mad and the human race was decreasing fast. Some people traveled in groups of about 20+ people. That's usually where the most people got killed. Some would kill each other in their sleep and eat them and some would just "lose" them. Very few groups (like mine) were small and included about 5 people. Most people's families and closest friends had died in the apocalypse. I was one that had no one and my group took me in. They were my family now and I loved them for that. I told them my story and they told me theirs. We stayed together and got through hard times, but we remained alive. Our group included 2 girls and 3 boys. Thomas was the oldest, about 20 years old. Conner and I were 18. Logan and Bri were 16. I had a small crush on Conner as did Bri to Logan, but in the apocalypse you can never be more than friends. For all you know they could die at any moment. I did cherish the moment I got with Conner alone. I was closest to Bri and second closest to Conner of course. I went to Thomas usually for advice and Bri to talk about Conner. With Conner though I just shared everything. I didn't know Logan very well but I respected his braveness. Bri always told me that Conner probably liked me back, but I didn't want to chance it, they were all I had. Thomas usually put me and Conner together to set up camp while the rest got wood and food. I sensed Thomas knew I liked Conner because we were usually paired together. We only had one tent if we couldn't find a empty house. Thomas drew the line there though. Thomas would put all of our belongings in the middle to split the boys and girls. So many times I had woken up on the wrong side right next to Conner. Sometimes I wondered if it was actually an accident. Sometimes when we would search houses he would find jewelry and he would give it to me as a gift. The thought made me get goose bumps. He was too nice! I hadn't just known him for those 3 years. He lived a few houses away my whole life, but we never really talked. All I knew was in this moment I had never felt closer to Conner.
