“Did you forget the part where I could totally kick your ass even if you did put up a fight?” She asked, still smiling. “I think I’d be the one in the position to save you. You can be my damsel in distress. Minus the whole Happily Ever After ending.”
He snorted, “Who said I wanted you to be my Happily Ever After anyway?”
“Stop.” She said blatantly, nonchalantly rolling her eyes. “Just think of this as a fresh start. The world pressed restart for you so you can be better. Meet new people, make new friends, find a new family.” Nola gave him a warm smile. “Even if I think you’re kinda shit,” she said in a joking manner, nudging his arm. “You can consider me a friend or whatever?”
“Just for me? How nice.” He cracked a smile, “Fine, but don’t expect me to go saving your life or something.”
“I didn’t expect it, no. Why do you wanna die?”
“Just tired, I guess. Tired of everything. There’s not much point to living. No real friends, no family. Kinda fucked my life over pretty early on. Been looking for a way out since. Real big sob story, I guess, but like we said, whatever.”
“Are you fucking with me right now?”
“Well, there’s this annoying human instinct for survival that I can’t seem to override yet. What? You’re the one who said you were surprised no one offed me yet. Didn’t think that included myself too?”
“Is this your thing?” She asked, her eyebrows knitting together tightly. “Do you want me to hurt you, are you into that sorta thing?”
“No, I’m just sick of being here. Living in general, I guess. But I can’t do anything about it myself, for some reason, so I’m waiting for someone else to do it instead.”
Nola took a few steps towards him, closing the gap between them. “They have a right mind to, the way you treat people. Hell, I’m surprised someone hasn’t gutted your ass already.”
He sighed heavily, “Yeah, me too.”
He looked down at her as she approached, with all seriousness in his eyes. “If you wanna have a go, be my guest. I won’t stop you.”
“Then go, don’t let me stop you.” She stated simply, gesturing her arm out in the direction they were heading. “Convenience store, used to be a gas station, on the left. Get your damn cigarettes.”
“You really think if you showed up your parents would deny you? Are you really that fucking stupid?”
Alec glanced in the direction she pointed, then back at Nola. “Great, thanks.”
He shrugged, “Yeah, I am that fucking stupid. They probably think I’m dead anyway, way before shit hit the fan.”
As he repeated her words, Nola stopped and crossed her arms tightly over her chest. “You don’t have to be a dick about it, Alec. I didn’t want your pity, I know it sucks, okay? It sucks that I have nobody, that my family is gone, yeah, but I can’t change what’s happened so I’m not going to dwell on it.” She spoke with an attitude. “You can think whatever you want about your family, you can still have hope that they’re still alive. You can go back to your home any time you want but some people don’t have that luxury. So excuse me for thinking it’s whatever./”
“Hey, I was being dead serious there. You’re right, everything is whatever. I couldn’t give two fucks about my friends, or my family, or you for that matter, if I’m being quite honest. You know, all I want is a goddamn cigarette. I tried being sympathetic but you didn’t want that.”
“And no, I can’t just go home whenever I want too. I got kicked out of that shithole a long time ago.”
Nola looked Alec up and down for a moment before nodding her head slowly. “Yeah, I’m sure you do.”
“I’m not bothered, I could care less if you were dating someone.” She looked away, rolling her eyes. “I just figured it would suck knowing that the likelihood of that person still being alive was very, very slim.”
“I suppose, yeah, but you know, it’s ‘whatever’, right? Just like my friends are whatever. Most of my family back home are whatever. We’re all gonna die soon anyway, one way or another. ”
“Yeah, it must suck not having appropriate clothes and shit when this all went down. I bet you packed loads to tank tops and shorts.” Nola looked at Alec and then looked back down, forcing a small laugh. “W-why would it bother me if you had a girlfriend? Or have, whatever.”
“I look great in tank tops and shorts, I’ll have you know.”
“Well you’re the one who looks bothered to me. And no, I don’t. Never could keep one for too long. They all got fed up with me after a while.”
“Los Angeles, I’ve been there.” She said as she continued walking again. “We, only technically. I was, like, a couple hours old when I was there so I don’t remember anything.”
“So, who else were you with? Friends, relatives, …girlfriend?”
“Never have myself. We just thought, ‘hey, beaches right?’ and set off without really thinking about it. Maybe we should’ve but no one could really predict this, right? I was only with a few mates. They’re long gone now. Probably.” He couldn’t help smiling, “Would it bother you if I did have a girlfriend?”
“It’s whatever, y’know? Everyone dies eventually.”
“A roadtrip. In Wyoming.” She stopped walking, a questioning look on her face. “Seriously?”
“Yeah but- “ He sighed, “Yeah, okay, it’s whatever.”
“Nah, we were just passing through. We started in Toronto, and were heading to Los Angeles. I don’t even know why we were heading there, to be honest. ”
Nola sighed heavily, rolling her eyes. “I lost my parents early on, I watched them die. And after I lost my brother, I just started walking. I didn’t know where I was going, I didn’t know how long I had been walking. I just walked. That’s how I ended up here.”
“So, you gonna tell me why you’re here, pretty boy?”
Nice one, Alec, nice one. He didnt respond immediately, and when he finally did his voice was a lot quieter. “Oh, well, um, I’m sorry then. I won’t make you talk about it anymore, if you don’t want to.”
“I, uh, I was on a roadtrip. Nothing special.”
“Remind me not to accept shit from you, I don’t wanna unknowingly get stoned.”
“By walking.” She said was a cocky grin.
“Oh, very clever. Here’s me being nice and friendly, and here you are, acting all... Come on, it’s the fucking apocalypse, what’s the point in acting all secretive?”
Choose three survivors you could possibly survive with and why you would pick them. (out of everyone, even if he hasn't met them yet)
Well, Nola seems like the kind of girl that could kick the shit out of anyone if they tried anything, so if I could only manage to get on her good side, she’d be a safe bet.
Mina wouldn’t last five seconds on her own, so out of pity’s sake I’d have to drag her along with me too.
And Alice is just nice. There aren’t enough people who are just nice.
When did you start using drugs?
It’s kind of like snowball effect, you know? You start lighting up blunts with your mates for a bit of fun and then next thing you know you’re running cocaine for your local dealer just for a hit.
But I stayed away from the really dangerous stuff, for the most part. Kind of. Well I tried, at least. That gotta count for something, right?
What is your biggest weakness?
Oh come on, that’s not fair. I could give you a whole list full of them.
Um, I guess I’m probably a bit too laid-back. It gets me into a lot of trouble, to say the least.
Yeah, let’s go with that.
