At the End of the World  // Bo one-shot // pt 1?

Idea: How about one where it’s a zombie apocalypse situation and you and Bo fight till you find safety.

Submitter: The lovely bil-boburnham-baggins

Rating: PG because zombies and a kiss or 2

By the end of the week, there wasn’t much left to save. Our home was ravaged from looters who did anything they could to survive, even if that meant to come onto someone else’s property and take what’s rightfully not theirs.

I packed a small bag with the last bit of food we had, a change of clothes, and a framed photo that sat on our piano; the first picture Bo and I ever took together. In the photo, he’s giving me a piggy back ride through the park and I learned down shoving my phone in front of his face and snapped a shot. We’re both laughing. We’re both happy.

We’re both not running for our lives, praying to God they don’t catch us this one time.

I looked over at Bo, his eyes barely open. With one arm wrapped around his side, I reached my other to his lap, taking his free hand in mine. The only thing we have left now is each other, and somehow it still felt like it was enough.

The sun began to rise over the mountainside, and he opened his eyes, glancing back over at me. We made it through another night.

“Did you sleep at all?” He asked, standing up and stretching his arms over his head. I barely had the energy to speak, let alone to stand up to join him. I shook my head, looking out to have my eyes meet the back to the Hollywood sign. I knew we couldn’t stay here forever. Eventually they would leave the city and come to higher ground. It was just a matter of time.

Bo looked down at me, seeing as I hadn’t said a word, and reached out his hand for me to take. I grabbed it and he pulled me up, engulfing me in a hug. If I closed my eyes, I could almost pretend we were back in our living room, instead of 750 feet high up on a mountainside.

“It’s going to be okay, Y/N. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

I nodded, tightening my grip around his stomach, and wondered why his heart sped up when he said that.

We parted and I grabbed a granola bar from my bag, tearing it in half and giving him a piece. We probably wouldn’t eat again until sundown so we savored every bite.

“We need to find an actual place to stay,” Bo said, staring out into the sunrise, “but not in the city.”

I agreed; I knew there wasn’t any way he and I could survive up here anymore than a week. We needed shelter and food and we had almost none of both.

“We should start now,” I said, wiping my hands off on my jeans. “I could go for an actual bed right now.”

Bo smirked at me, and nodded. I grabbed my bag and he took my hand, and we ventured back down the trail. We avoided any main roads, and only traveled during the daylight.

A few hours passed, and ahead of us was a motel that looked to be deserted.

The sign for the motel was off, but each room appeared to be vacant. Bo went up to one of the doors, resting his ear on the outside to hear any movements. I did this on several others, and we both came up empty.

He began to kick violently on one of the doors, and after three tries it burst open. I started to walk through the doorway before he moved his arm out in front of me, preventing me from entering the room.

“Let me check it out real quick.” He whispered, cutting in front of me. I was left there alone outside with no protection from an attack; I wasn’t too sure if Bo had thought his plan through or not.

Moments later he returned, giving me a single nod in approval.

I sat my bag down on the floor and fell back onto the mattress with a small thud. I would never take a mattress for granted ever again.

Bo moved the dresser in front of the door to prevent any break-ins, and later joined me on the bed. I curled up next to him, resting my head on the nook of his shoulder, and closed my eyes. I wasn’t sure if sleep would come to me tonight, or maybe even ever again. I wasn’t sure if my family was still alive, or even my friends, and it wasn’t something I liked to think about, but if I closed my eyes, I could pretend everything was back to normal.

I missed lying in the backyard by the pool, reading

“Y/N,” Bo said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I lifted my head up and was met by his lips pressing softly against mine. I wanted to live in this moment forever. “I love you, and I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“I love you too,” I said back, resting my head in the crevice of his neck. I wanted to stay like this forever. We could wait in this room until all of the zombies had died off, or until scientists created a vaccine that turned everyone back to normal. I could pray for a better day, but I knew deep down this was how life was going to be from here on out.

A deafening blow came from the window; heavy fists slamming against the pane increasingly. Bo and I shot up, staring in horror as the creatures eyes met ours.

“No, no, no…” I muttered, tears rolling down my cheeks. Bo grabbed my hand and bag, pulling me into the bathroom.  I turned back for one second to see the glass explode and the creatures enter the room. Bo locked the door behind us, and noticed above us was a small window.

“We have to.” He said, reaching up to unlatch it.

“We can’t; they’re out there!” I choked on my tears, looking back at the bathroom door.

“They’ll eventually get in—we have to go!” Bo tore off my bag and threw it out the window, looking back down at me. “It’s going to be okay, I promise.”

He kissed me once more and picked me up, helping me slide through the small crevice. He was right behind me, barely managing to fit through the hole.

“Whatever you do, don’t let go.” Bo said his voice drenched with terror. He grabbed my hand and booked it to the forest.

The screams of the creatures faded out, and we were left with silence. I didn’t know where we would sleep tonight, or if we would even make it to dawn, all I knew is that we could run forever.
