Teens & the end of the world Chapter 9


“Nope... nope... nope...” Lewis sighed with his head rested on his hand, “why doesn’t he have anyone useful, the stupid prick” he said scrolling down the contacts on the screen, from Ray to Reuben until he saw Ritchie, a short, skinny, ginger headed kid that they hung around with from time to time, not a lot because he spent most of his time making videos on the internet, they were quite popular across a lot of websites, he even got an offer to meet a very popular internet phenomenon and make a video with him, that was the reason he stopped hanging around with Lewis and the others.  He pressed the dial button on Ritchie’s number, he waited and waited, but no answer “pick up you ignorant twat” he sighed, but he reached the voicemail, he hung up and slowly put the phone into his pocket, but before he could drop the phone it started ringing, the song ‘9 to 5’ sung by Dolly Parton started playing, “the gay Tosser” Lewis said to himself with a smile on his face, the phone read ‘Ritchie’ he quickly answered it before he missed it , “hello?” he said desperately, “Rob?” a high pitched voice replied, his voice was that distinctive he knew it was him, “no, it’s Lewis, where are you?, what’s going on?” he asked, “I’m at my house, Liam’s with me” Liam was a stocky kid, with light black hair that hung over his forehead, “well... the...vaccination.... wiped...” is all Lewis could hear of what Ritchie was saying, “hold on a sec..” Lewis interrupted him, “Will you shut the fuck up!?” he shouted down at the large group of zombified people groaning loudly, “ugh” he sighed, “Ritchie I need your help, I’m stuck up a tree surrounded by these...  well... zombies if you will, the tree I’m up is at the bottom of the road leading up to the school, there’s hundreds of them come quickly!” Lewis hung up the phone, he couldn’t hear what Ritchie had said. He waited, and waited until all of a sudden he could hear a chain rattle, he looked up through the branches to see the main road, he saw Liam on a small black BMX bike, blowing a novelty whistle loudly, the ‘zombies’ all turned their attentions to him as he rode by, they all started leaving the tree and ran after him, from a corner another BMX came skidding past the near garden fence and riding it was Ritchie with his thin, black jacket and grey joggers, he jumped off the bike “get on quick” he shouted to Lewis watching the hundreds of ‘zombies’ chase after Liam, he jumped down and fell to his side, “ouch, you son of a....” but before he could finish from around the fence’s corner came Liam peddling for his life, waving his arm encouraging them to hurry up, Lewis stood up and got on the Ritchie’s bike and started peddling with Ritchie running behind, eventually jumping on the stunt pegs on the back tyre. Lewis peddled furiously, “Where are you going?” said Ritchie, “to Herbie’s” he replied, “why the hell are you taking us there for?” he asked looking back at Liam who was right behind, “that’s where the others are” he told him as he passed the toppled over bus, “other’s? You mean there’s more people” Ritchie asked excitedly, “well, Rob, Connor and Herbie?” he replied, Ritchie suddenly lost all excitement in his voice “oh, great” he sighed. They reached Herbie’s metal fencing, Lewis, Ritchie and Liam got off the bikes and Lewis threw the BMX over the fence into his garden, “watch it!” Ritchie shouted, “That cost money you know!” he continued, “Have you completely forgotten what has happened? I’ve just been in a tree for at least an hour and a half, and you’re worried about your bike? Liam would you hold me back because I’m afraid, that I might kill him” Ritchie dived through the torn hole in the fence, Liam then passed over his BMX to Ritchie, Lewis and Liam clambered through the hole, they banged on Herbie’s back door but there was no answer, so Lewis asked Liam to give him a lift into the kitchen window, as he jumped over the sink full of water, he landed on the floor and slipped on the smashed plates, “OW, bastard thing!” he murmured, he stood up and wiped himself down and had a look around, he saw that the front door was slightly open, he slowly walked down the small hallway, holding the railing of the stairs on the right. As he reached the end of the rail he slowly reached for the handle and closed the door, as he did so from the stairs came a pillow case and was forced down on top of his head, suddenly there was aloud scream of anger, and as Lewis was trapped under the pillow case, he felt a sudden blow to the stomach with a hard object and as he bent over to hold his stomach he was hit again on the back of the shoulder, he screamed in immense pain.
