Darren's arms lay comfortably around his girlfriend as they fast asleep on the cold ground. The back of his mind told him her had to get up and it wasn't alright, but a more prominent part of him kept telling him that he was just in a bad hotel again and that when he woke up everything would be back to normal and he'd just spend a nice day with Julia out in a park.

Unfortunately for Darren a rude jab at his side and he woke up with Joey towering over him. "Time to wake up," he said and handed Darren an axe. "We move today, if you forgot," Joey added at the confused look on his face. Darren nodded silently and removed his arms from around Julia. They'd move in groups, and Darren wouldn't be with her this time around.

Darren bent down and kissed her, "Stay safe," he whispered before standing up and taking the axe from Joey. "I'm ready," he said with a nod.

The first team wait by the door getting ready to venture out, Joe checked his watch which he was completely grateful was still working, it was Noon exactly. He nodded silently over to Britney who opened the door and loaded her gun, walking out first, her knowing where it was they were actually going. Darren was the last to leave the building, he didn't want to leave Julia all there by herself.

Parts Darren hated himself for visiting his friends on the Holiday and getting caught in this mess, but another knew that if he stayed he'd never be able to forgive himself if something had happened to Julia. Joey pulled him from building and off they went. Joe, Lauren, Britney, Joey, and Darren off to set up camp at the new spot.

Walking out in to the sun was always a challenge, from staying inside the building most of the week. He looked around the broken city. The group of five froze hearing the groans in the distance. Lauren, Joe, and Britney each loading their guns preparing for what was to come, and Joey and Darren wielding their weapons.

They continued carefully not having seen anything yet, but watching all around them carefully. They ventured on for a few more minutes and suddenly they heard the unmistakable yell of Jaime coming from the distance back at the old safe house.

"Jaime," Joey said softly then froze, before running back off towards the building they left.

"Joey wait!" Lauren tried calling after him.

"We have to help them!" Joey yelled running.

"Fuck," Lauren said and shook her head then ran after him the 3 others following behind.

Gunshot after gunshot, they heard as the came closer. The groans and loans getting louder as the rapidly approached. Joey arrived and skidded in to the building ready to attacks and saw the other five guarding the door making sure it wouldn't open for the zombies. Many we're already dead on the ground, and Joey could see the fresh blood spots on his friends.

Lauren and the rest of everyone fills in a moment later taking note of what was going on. "We'll grab as much as we can, then you guys run," She said over to the group who nodded in response.

It went in a flash Darren Joey Britney Joe and Lauren overloaded with stuff and started off again a minute later and the rest of the group sprinted back and followed them. They managed to find a safe area for the moment being where they began sorting out what their plan was.

"We obviously have to stick together," Brian argued. Traveling in large groups was good and bad. Good for more help but it was more likely someone would be lost again.

"But well attract more attention," Lauren hissed back.

"It doesn't matter we'll be able to fight off more in a group!"

An argument soon broke out with people taking sides, and one again Jaime was there to shut them all up. "Guys! Shut up do you hear that?" She had to yell across the group.

The group went dead silent, but the it wasn't silence all over. Groans and moans from all over surrounded them. Lauren sneak out of the building and spotted the zombies extremely close from her side of the door, "we need to go now." She said with great urgency as she moved out of the small building with everyone. Before they could make it too far it was too late.

Joe was the first to shoot getting on in the head as he hid behind a hear by car shooting at as many zombies as he could. Joe was notorious in the group for being able to get them in the head knocking them down and killing them.

Jaime was caught in the middle of a group and was working on knocking the majority of them down as Joey smashed their heads with the sledgehammer. They were going down one bye one, and the number was significantly getting lower.

Four remained at the moment and Joe and Lauren were busy shooting at them. Jaime was busy trying her same tactic when suddenly felt a hand grab her wrist and pull her in. She felt the teeth sink against her skin and suddenly two blast came. One hit her attacker and the other had gone right in to her stomach.

Two bodies collapsed, and silence once more came. Joey had rushed to the girl's side muttering to himself and applying pressure to her wound trying to stop the excessive bleeding.

Julia grabbed the medical kit they had and opened it up trying to find something to wrap the wound with but finding nothing. Joey pulled his shirt off and tried using that to help but it was no use.

"Joey... " Jaime said and grabbed his arm stopping him.

"Jaime please, I-I can't let you die too," he said trying not to cry but failing. Joey looked down in to her eyes he could see them once filled with life now losing it. "Please-" he pleaded again. "I can't lose you, I love you Jaime." He had said it.

Finally said it. After all those years of waiting and never bucking up the nerve, he said it. He said it too late. Too late before she could answer.

Joey held her lifeless body to her close and started to cry again.

"Joey..." We have to keep moving-" Darren finally said tugging Joey.

"We can't just leave her we need to bury her like everyone else." Joey said standing up holding her in his arms. "Which one of you shot her?" He asked suddenly looking at everyone holding a gun.

Lauren wiped her eyes and bit her lip,"I-I think it was me," she said trying to keep it together. "It was an accident Joey, I swear I didn't mean to!" She said unable to keep it in much longer.

Joe pulled Lauren in to a hug as she continued to cry, and as Joey just stood there silently. He nodded then started walking again, the silence taking over once more.
