Could you do a one shot for after the all survive ending where Lawrence's parents are actually alive in the safe zone and they start being controlling over him again and the mc sees it one day and tells them off and just encourages him to break free and follow his dreams?
Lawrence x Fem. Reader ~ Follow Your Dreams
Kicking a pebble across the street, I huffed, tugging on the backpack straps that wrapped around my shoulders. Today was surprisingly warm out, causing everyone to sweat as they all wore hoodies or jackets. Today is the day we’re all heading to the safe zone. Lawrence was in front of the group, holding out a map as Harry helped with directions.
Clearing my throat, I felt my saliva slowly slide down my dry esophagus, causing me to shiver in discomfort. Sighing, I raked my fingers through my hair before picking up my pace to keep up with the group.
“Are we almost there, Lawrence?” Eugene whined, digging through his backpack for his water bottle. Glancing over at the brown-haired male, he shook his head, pushing his glasses back up.
“No, but we should be there within an hour.” Sighing, my eyes wandered over to Ethan, to which I gave him a tiny smile when we obtained eye contact. Fiddling with my thumbs once more, I flinched when a water bottle appeared in my vision.
“Here, it seems like your throat is dry… besides, you could use it more than me,” Eugene utters under his breath, rubbing the back of his neck. Giving him a smile, I carefully took the water bottle out of his hand, muttering a thank you before drinking the remaining liquid.
Welcoming the, somewhat, warm water down my throat, I trembled in delight, feeling more energized and attentive. Pulling off one strap of my backpack, I swiftly shoved the empty bottle inside before carrying on with the group.
Sighing through my nose, I observed the empty houses around us. Many houses had their windows shattered and their doors wide open, allowing anyone to enter. Lawrence thought it would be a good idea to travel through a neighborhood, but I have an unsettling feeling about it. Everyone was silent, afraid to talk so we don’t attract unwanted attention.
“We’re almost there,” Lawrence whispers, glancing over his shoulder to make eye contact with the group.
“Can we just take a break!? My feet are killing me!” Scarlett whined, leaning up against Jay as they walked behind me. Rolling my eyes at the annoying female, I winced at how loud her question was. Scanning the area around us, I didn’t notice any sudden movement, but you can never be so sure.
As I continued to look around, I ran into a firm chest, causing me to stumble backwards. Before I could fall to the ground, Zion quickly helped me regain my posture.
Glancing up, I noticed Lawrence stopped walking and was sending daggers at Scarlett. His hands were on his hips and his foot was quietly tapping the pavement of the road.
“I’m sorry, do you want to get to the safe zone before dark? If so, please just keep your mouth shut and continue walking. Like I say, we’re almost there.”
Lawrence held eye contact with Scarlett as he turned back around, letting how a sigh before talking to Harry again.
Everyone was silent from the sudden outburst, afraid we were going to get yelled at if we even uttered a word.
We continued to walk for about ten minutes before I noticed a large building up ahead.
“Guys! The safe zone!” I pointed, bouncing on my tippytoes. Before I could let out any more happy sounds, Eugene covered my mouth, glaring at me as he lifted his finger to his lips.
“Be quiet, we still don’t know if there’s any zombies around!” He whispers, taking his hand away from my mouth and ruffling my hair.
Clenching my teeth, I gave him an apologetic smile before sticking by Ethan’s side. Even though we haven’t talked much, we had an instant connection when we meet and became friends.
“Halt! Have any of you been bitten or came in
contact with the infected?” Jumping from the sudden voice, I gazed up to see two tall soldiers standing in front of us, their guns at their side.
“No, we’re safe. I even checked them before we left to go here.” Lawrence stated, glancing around at the group.
“You may have checked them, but we would also like to check them just in case. Before we do that, you may go inside and go find a spot you all would like to camp at.”
Moving to the side, the soldiers started to talk through a walkie talkie before the large gate in front of us opened.
Turning to face us, Lawrence all gave us a smile before leading us into the building. “We did it you guys!” Eugene cheers, giving my arm a tight hug before punching Zion’s arm, causing the taller male to growl down at him.
“Finally! A bed!” Scarlett sighed, plopping down onto an air mattress before falling asleep. Jay just sighed before laying down next to her, getting some shut eye as well.
As everyone was getting situated on their air beds, I began to take off my jacket before I heard two voices coming over to us. Raising a brow, I glanced over my shoulder to see two older people making their way to Lawrence.
“His parents? At least he found them.” I started to think about my mother, hoping to find her somewhere in this large building.
Before I could turn back around to finish what I was doing, I overheard their conversation.
“Lawrence! Look at you, you’ve really let yourself go! And you even made friends? Wow, at least you were doing something during the apocalypse.” His father pinches the bridge of his nose, letting out a disappointing sigh.
“I agree with your father, like man, you need a haircut and some clean clothes! You smell! How did your group stay with you this entire time?” The female plugs her nose, waving the air in front of her.
Not believing my eyes, I stepped into their conversation, not caring if I seem rude.
“Excuse me! Hi, I’m (Y/n) and I’m friends with Lawrence. Not to be rude or anything but we all survived because of Lawrence leadership and how devoted he was to get us somewhere safe. And it’s the apocalypse! Of course he’s going to smell because the water didn’t run where we were staying! Not only that, who thinks about their hair while you’re trying to fight for survival?”
I questioned, wrapping my arms around Lawrence and giving him a gentle hug. Before Lawrence could utter a word, his parents stepped in, giving me a death glare.
“Listen here, we are his parents and he will listen to what we say! We raised him to care for himself and not some nosy little thing like you!” His mother spat at me, leaning dangerously close to my face.
“Yeah! He was supposed to go to college and become a lawyer, but now look at him! He wasted his time fighting for you guys and you could have gotten him killed! This is your fault!” His father stabbed a finger at my chest, causing me to stumble backwards a little, but thankfully I was still holding onto Lawrence’s arm.
“Hey! He’s a grown man and can do whatever he wants! He doesn’t need to pushing him around and controlling what he can do and can not! That’s not your choice anymore! So just leave him alone!” I growled, catching the attention of nearby soldiers.
His parents noticed the soldiers watching them, ready to take them away if need be.
“Don’t think this is over with you little brat.” His mother snarled, flipping her hair before walking away next to his father.
“Damn, those are your parents? I’m sorry. Remember what I said, you can do whatever your little heart wants to. Break free and follow your dreams. You’re the reason we are all alive and safe. Thank you, Lawrence.” I smiled up at the taller male, noticing tears streaming down his cheeks.
“Thank you, that’s the nicest thing someone has ever told me. And thank you for also helping me against my parents.” Kneeling down to my height, he wraps his arms around me before giving me a tight hug.
“I’ll always be right by your side, Lawrence. Forever and always.”
