I stayed by Anthony's side until he finally woke up. Laser brought him some water, which he drank slowly.

"Anthony…"I said.

"You shot me, "He said simply.

"I'm sorry," I said.

He looked at Laser.

"You're alive," He said.

"Yeah," Laser said, "Good to see you, buddy."

I left the room. I didn't think Anthony or Laser would want to see the person who tried to kill them.

Laser's POV

"David," Someone said.

I looked up to see Joven standing in the doorway.

"Hey Joven," I said.

He ran and hugged me.

"Wh…what happened to Anthony?"

"Ian shot him."

"What?!"

"He didn't mean to," Anthony said, "Just ran out of here, probably feels like shit."

"How do you feel," Joven asked.

"Extremely nauseas," I said, "And dizzy. And hungry. But…pretty good."

"That's good."

"Joven, I heard what you said," I told him, "And Wes will be okay. I'm sure of it."

He shook his head.

"Maybe."

He looked away with sadness and regret.

"You're thinking about Sohinki, aren't you?"

He nodded.

"You HAD to do it, Joshua,"I assured him, "If you didn't, both of us would be dead."

"I'm not so sure of that," Joven answered.

He wiped his tears. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"I can't do this anymore, David," He cried.

Joven was sobbing now. I put my arms around him and hugged him.

Joven's POV

Anthony followed me out of the room, for some reason.

"What do you want," I asked.

He sighed.

"Don't do it, Joven."

"Don't do what?"

"You KNOW what," He insisted, "We need you."

"You don't need me," I said harshly, "No one NEEDS me. Do…do you know what I've done?!"

"You HAD to."

"Dammit! Stop telling me that!"

"You lost two friends."

"One," I corrected.

"Huh?"

"Forget it," I said, "Just…never mind."

"No," He said, "Tell me."

I sighed heavily.

"Wes and I," I started, "We weren't… JUST friends."

He stared blankly at me, and I feared his judgement.

"You guys were together," He inquired.

"Two months," I said, "Then the zombies started. It was like a clear sign from the universe: Wes and I shouldn't be together."

The Next Day…

The four of us set off toward the Smosh office. With any luck, maybe…just maybe, Wes would be there. He'd be safe, alive and we would hug and say how much we missed each other and how worried we were. No…even if he WAS alive, he'd never forgive me for leaving him. He…

Ian's POV

…hates me. Anthony hates me. I could understand that though. I almost killed him, I shot him for god's sake. I wasn't…

Anthony's POV

…talking to anyone that morning. The four of us avoided eye contact with each other as much as possible. When we set out, the zombies avoided us. Joven thought it was because of Laser, but I'm pretty sure it was because of me. I smelled like them. I felt sick, even worse than yesterday. My side hurt from the gunshot and the zombie virus was draining my energy and willpower. I could understand why Laser asked me to kill him. It hurts…it just…hurts. Laser knew this, and he lagged behind to help me along.

"Getting through the zombies was easier than I thought," Joven said, "We should be there by noon."

Laser's eyes brightened.

"Noon," He asked expectantly.

"Yeah," Joven replied, "Maybe one or two."

A huge grin crossed Laser's face. He'd heard that his wife…

Laser's POV

…is alive. I was shocked when I heard that. Before, I had no idea where she was, and that scared the shit out of me. Of course, it was only a rumor but still. If there was even the slimmest chance, I would journey across the world to see her again.

"Anthony," I said.

"Huh?"

"Do you think she's okay?"

"Yeah," He said, "Yeah, I do."

"Thanks Anthony," I said.

"Don't lose hope," He said.

12:30 P.M.

Joven's POV

The doors and windows of the office were barricaded shut. Mari let us in when she saw us through a hole in a barricaded window. I didn't want to talk to her; it would mean telling her that I'd killed Sohinki.

"Is Matt okay?" She asked, pleading that I'd say yes.

"Mari, I don't know how to tell you this…"

"Is he…dead?"

I nodded regretfully. She shuddered and walked away. I didn't say another word. They don't need me. They don't want me. No one does. I went to an empty room, grabbed some paper and started writing.

Laser's POV

Joven ran off. That's when I saw HER.

"David?" She asked.

I ran to hug her and squeezed her tightly, and she squeezed back. We kissed.

"I thought…I…I…"

"You have such a way with words," She joked.

I admired her witty humor; one of her many lovable qualities. I knew I was crying, and looked like a total sap, but I saw she was crying too. I touched her face.

"I couldn't imagine never seeing you again," I told her.

She took my hand.

"David…I took a test yesterday," She said.

"I hate tests," I joked.

"You're such a goofball," She teased, and I blushed a little, "A pregnancy test."

I raised an eyebrow.

"And…" I inquired.

"I passed," She said simply.

Anthony's POV

I was going to my office when Ian stopped me.

"Are you okay, Anthony," He asked.

The pain in my side returned with that question.

"A little sore," I said, "But yeah."

He nodded, his eyes darting away from me.

"Are YOU okay, Ian?"

He thought for a second, then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, okay," He said, "I am. I didn't mean to hurt you. That's all I can say. And if you still hate me…"

"Hate you," I scoffed, "No, I don't hate you. I'll admit, I was a little shocked, but it was an accident. You're my best friend, brother-from-another-mother. I love you, man."

"Eww," He joked.

I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"Just get over here and hug me, you ugly troll," I joked back.

He hugged me and lifted me up for a second.

"Put me down," I groaned.

He let me go.

Joven's POV

I folded the note and set it on the computer desk. What I saw when I turned around nearly made me scream. And I would have, if the air hadn't been sucked out of my lungs. I was finally able to catch my breath, however.

"S…Sohiki?"
