She's back again; I turn my gaze to see that she's sleeping in the chair next to me. Julie. My eyes are still tired; I must have been sleeping a lot lately. My body still aches though. I look at my chest to see the large bandage by my collar bone. Hesitantly I lift the bandage slightly too see a gunshot wound. A gunshot wound? I must be missing something very important if I've been shot at. It looks like its healing so I decide to try and sit up. The agony is worth it to finally be able to see everything in the room. I can hear to muffle footsteps from beyond the curtain and the sounds of alarms and gunshots as well. This is starting to sound more and more like a war zone.

I look over at her again, is it possible that she looks even more beautiful now? I'm trying to remember her but still nothing? I think back to the dream I just had, where is my sister? The dream felt so real, but why isn't she here, does she know I'm in the hospital?

"Well…look who's…finally awake." I'm startled by the sudden sound but look up to see a terrifying looking man. He grins, and I study his face. Bald head, I recognize this feature. "M."

He looks surprised and walks over, "So I hear you…forgot. But not…me? I'm flattered."

I can't help but laugh, it's true, out of all the people I should be recognizing it's this guy. Even if it is just his face or more specifically his bald head, it's something at least.

"What…happened?" I ask M, thinking that maybe I can get a different story from him. He looks at me a moment and just says "Let Julie…tell you. It's a lot."

I sigh; the fact that the only person I know won't tell me anything doesn't make me feel much better. M and I sit there silently for a while, somehow comfortable with the silence. "Hungry" I tell him. He bursts out laughing and walks out, I'm hoping to get me a bite to eat.

His laughter is loud and slightly scary and manages to wake Julie sitting in the chair, who immediately draws her eyes towards mine again.

I was dreaming about him, of our time in the plane, listening to records and just relaxing. He looked at me like I was an absolute marvel.

I woke up to find his eyes, the blueness still surprised me but it was still him. He looked at me that same way, like I was an absolute marvel. I was about to go closer to him, when I remembered our last conversation. He doesn't know who I am, there's no point in trying to talk to him about it.

"Hi Julie." His words shock me, but I have to keep my cool. He smiles and I nearly melt. "Hi" is all I can think to say, I know he must be confused but I can't even think of what to say to him.

"Can…we start over? Hi, I'm Robby, I like Eggos, Bruce Springsteen and… I'm not very interesting." He grins and I laugh, he really isn't that different from his 'zombie counterpart' "Hi, I'm Julie" He looks at me urging me to continue what I was saying "aaand I like coffee, cameras and my life is slightly more interesting." He looks confused, but I assume that he just hasn't pieced together the zombie apocalypse thing.

"Can I ask something Julie?" I nod in approval. "Did a zombie apocalypse…happen or are my…dreams really that weird?"

Not quite what I had expected, I have no idea where he got that idea from, he hasn't left this bed, I highly doubt M or Nora said anything about it.

"Well, there is." His expression looks slightly shocked but not overly surprised. "Do you remember anything about it?"

"I was with… my family." He struggles and tries to clear his throat. "I think I tried to help my…sister get away. But that's all."

That sounds like something R would do, risk his life to save his sister. He continues "What happened after that, did you find me?" I look closely at his eyes seeing the tears begin to build up.

"R, uh Robby. I have to tell you something." His eyes focus. "You weren't entirely… like this. When we met."

He shakes his head "I… I don't." I sigh and continue, "You were one of them, R." I glance up at him and see that his expression has gone from sad and confused to absolutely terrified. This is the most expression I've ever seen on his face, and clearly he's not to use to the emotion either.

What she's saying is insane. The actual fact that a zombie apocalypse is possible, is insane enough. Where is my family, if this zombie thing is real are they alive? Is anyone alive? Everyone has seemed so calm. My head feels like its spinning, I'm not entirely sure I should stay here. If whats shes saying is true that means I'm dead. I'm dead? How am I thinking? I look at my hands, they don't look dead.

"R, please calm down." I must be throwing a fit, I am trying to calm down but to find out your dead is a lot to take in. "R, please." She sounds desperate to get my attention, she jumps up and grabs my face, looking into my eyes. My view darts around as I try to avoid her gaze, she suddenly wraps her arms around me and holds me tight. "This time, I'll keep you safe, okay?"
