We awoke startled, both me and Phil, as we heard the door downstairs bang. Dan ran into our room "guys?"
"is it an infected?" I asked
"HELP!" my question was answered shortly as a familiar voice sounded from behind the downstairs door
"its PJ" Phil said, suddenly jumping up from the bed and running downstairs. Me and Dan looked at eachother before running after Phil
"Dan get something to get these boards off" Dan left and ran into a different room
"PJ" I said "keep it down, we dont want to attract the infected here, we'll get you in here soon"
"ok" Another voice sounded from outside
"Chris?" Phil said through the door
"here" Dan said rushing in holding a metal object. All three of us got to work getting the boards off. We heard moans of infected sounding from a distance, but they were getting closer. I saw the first infected person through a gap in the window.
"guys, Hurry!" I said as we contiued to rip off boards, only one board remained. We ripped it off and PJ and Chris tumbled inside, Phil began to beat back the infected as me and Dan forced the door to shut. It took us a while to get all the boards back on and to stop the infected getting into the apartment.
It was finallly done and we all let out a deep breath. The infected were still outside but they had to give up eventually, I hoped.

"you could've warned us" Dan said directing his attention to PJ and Chris
"Phone lines are down, we were lucky to even get here"
"ye, well we're lucky no one got bit!" Dan seemed angry as he spat out his words "you brought them right to us"
"guys, we've got to survive together" I reasoned "they're your friends, just be grateful they're here at all" my voice cracked at the end, thinking about the friends I'd left behind.
"I'm sorry" Dan voice was quiet "I didnt think of that"
I wanted to retort something like 'no one ever does' but instead I ran to my room and lay face down on my bed as tears poured out of my eyes. A few minutes later I heard the door open, the bed sunk under someones weight. I thought it would be Dan, coming to apologise, but when I looked up I saw those bright blue eyes and Phils cute smile did you just say his smile was cute?
"you ok?" he asked softly, and right then I knew I had to tell him the truth... about the bite.
