Hiding the Cracks

Cooper's POV

Oh shit there are so many zombies! fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!! I felt a tap on my shoulder and I truned around and saw Liz standing there. I look back at my screen and damn it I died. "What?" I snapped at her. Damn that was mean but I was working on that game for 2 hours. "Well damn excuse me if I wanted to be nice and make my bro a sandwich!" she yelled back at me. Sandwich what? She hasn't made me a sandwich in years. Now I feel bad. "Sorry. I was in the middle of a game and I died." "You're such a nerd." "Actually I'm a computer nerd. There's a difference" I defended. She laughed! Oh my god she actually laughed. I felt myself smile and felt accomplished for making my baby sis laugh. She hands me my sandwich and walks out. Mmmmm PB & J!! I haven't had one of these in years. I just sit there staring at my computer realizing what happened. My sister laughed genuinely for the first time since her friend Denise died. I actually smiled for the first time, that wasn't because of games, since James. Man I miss him so much. He would've been 24 by now. It still pisses me off! That I couldn't do anything to save him. I just sat there watching from the Rec room window. I wish Luke hadn't locked me in there. I didn't even get to say goodbye!

*flashback*

We were playing hide and seek and I was hiding under the deck when I heard some people yelling at each other. I try to look up through the cracks but they're to tiny to see clearly through. I decide to get out from the deck. It's probably Luke and James fighting over who got caught. I get to the top and there is a man holding James. I try to see his face but he is wearing a mask. Luke sees me and he quickly grabs me and locks me in the Rec room. Luckily for me there is a window looking into the deck. I watch as Luke and this man yell at each other. Luke looks over at me and closes the outside curtain making it so I can't see. What is going on? Where is Liz? Is she okay? These were just some of the questions I had as I was trying to piece together what is happening. After a couple minutes of being lost in thought I am broken out of them by a gunshot. I frantically run over to the door and windows trying to get out of this suffocating room. I stand at the window in defeat and I scream, "JAMES!!!" I scream his name over and over but I get no reply. I roll myself in a ball and cry my heart out. After what felt like hours the door to the rec room finally opens and my sister walks in. I run out of the room and onto the deck. I see blood covering the deck but no body. I look around and try to find Luke or James, but neither are in my sight. I crumble to the floor and cry some more. Who's blood is it? Please let it be that awful man's! Where is Luke and James?

*End of Flashback*

I'm brought out of my flashback by the feeling of water dripping onto my bare chest. I look up expecting to see a leak but then realize that it is my own tears. I quickly wipe off my tears as my sister once again enters my room. "Mom and dad want us to go to the living room" She says with her usual face with no emotion. I let out a loud grunt. "Fiiiiiiinnnneeee..." I say in a very annoyed tone. She lowly giggles as she leaves the room. I crack a small smile knowing that I made her at least smile twice in one day. That's a new record! I slip on a shirt and walk into the living room. I plop down next to Liz and wait for my parents. They finally walk in and Liz quickly says, "What do you want?" Clearly not wanting to be in the same room as them. They look at each other for a couple of minutes then my dad finally spoke up. "We've got some news.." I give him a questioning look and Liz shifts her weight so she is leaning forward as if she couldn't hear him. My mom then says, "We're moving to England!" My mouth gapes open in shock trying to process what my parents just said. Liz stands up and starts going off on my parents.
After her little rant is over she storms off into her room and slams the door. My parents look to me for approval and I stare at them blankly and walk to my room closing my door loudly but not slamming it. I then drown myself into video games and crackers like usual.
