I seriously don't know how long we have been driving. It feels like forever and I worry about our gas running out. I quickly glance over to mom's side to take a peek at the gas meter to see that the arrow is almost on E. I sigh and sit back in my seat. My mom noticed my worriedness about the gas because she decided to say something about it.
"We're going to have to ditch our car soon. That or try to find a gas station or something."
I nearly chuckled at my mom's blindness.
"Mom, it's been four months since the outbreak happened. I'm pretty sure that all the gas stations in town are empty." I explained.
She sighed and nodded."I know but I was trying to think positive."
Great. Now I've practically burst my mom's bubble and now I feel more terrible than I did before."Sorry..." I muttered.
I pull down the car's sun visor and look at myself through the tiny mirror on the back. I'm a seventeen year old boy with jet black hair and green eyes. My hair was sorta swept in the emo style where most of my hair covers my eyes. I guess if you wanna call that. I'm not emo or at least I don't think I am? I mean yeah I like dark colors but I try not to dress in dark colors all the time. I was sorta pale but not to the point where I look like a ghost. I have muscles but not a six pack. I believe that you don't need a six pack in order to look good. Anyways, I probably look a little small to some people. I don't really care. I'm also 5'7. I guess i'm pretty short too? Now my mom, even though she was only 38 and practically skinny, she looked good for her age with her dark brown hair and brown eyes. I mostly get my looks from my dad since he had black hair and green eyes. My mom has always told me that I looked so much like my dad. I can't really tell but I guess we DO look alike.
I sigh as I flip the car's sun visor back up and sit back in my seat. That's when I heard my mom curse. I glanced over to her, wondering what was wrong.
"We're on E. I'll try to drive a little further but eventually, the car would stop moving altogether."
I shake my head."Nah. Let's just stop and get out and try to go on foot."
She nodded then pulled over onto the side of the road. We were really far away from the towns and cities now and I guess you can say we're in the country now. I don't really like the country but I suppose it's better than being in the towns and cities during the apocalypse. I hopped out of the car with my mom and we started to grab out bags. I closed the back door then started to walk away from the car with my mom. I wasn't sure how long we'll be walking or if there were any survivors around.
How long as it been how since we've walked? I glanced at my watch and frown. It's been an hour and a half already and still nobody. That's when I noticed a couple zombies coming our way. We started to run away from them. We kept ourselfs distant from the zombies. It was then I saw secured house up ahead that was surrounded by a wall and had a gate in the front. I smiled then picked up the pace till we reached the house. That was when a couple guys jumped out and started to kill the zombies that have been towing up.
"Thank you so mu-" My mom started but got caught off by one of the guys.
"Get inside." One of the men said so we nodded and headed towards the gate. We opened it up and went inside. That's when I saw about ten other survivors. I started to walk towards the leader or who I assumed was the leader when one of the guys held their gun up to me and told me to stop moving. I stopped walking and held my hands up.
"Who are you? Friend or foe?" The chick leader asked.
