Hey everyone! So second to last chapter of my first finished story! WOO. I don't know if I am quite ready to part with this story but I gotta do what I gotta do. I'l probably upload it tomorrow or later tonight.. (: But since this story is ending, you should definitely go check out my One Tree Hill story. In my opinion it is way better written then this one. Why? Maybe because those chapters are longer? I don't know but definitely go read that if you're up to it, if not definitely go check out gurl3677's stories! they were amazing and what inspired me to kind of start writing my own.(: ANYWAY HAPPY READING!
Please Review!(:

Jenna was sitting with Glenn in his room. They were playing cards, the most normal thing she could remember doing since this happened. She loved it. It felt like a Sunday night, just got out of the shower and chilling with a friend before the dreaded day everybody hated... Monday.
As Glenn put down an eight of hearts he looked up at her. "You okay?" Glenn asked her concerned.
Jenna shrugged. "Okay as you can be in this place."
Glenn nodded not saying anything looking as she put a ten of spades down. "Yeah, it feels to good to be true."
Jenna punched him in the arm, her blue eyes wide her mouth opened slightly. "Ow!"
"Don't say that!" She yelled at him then lowered her voice. "You'll jinx us" Jenna told him with a laugh.
Glenn just shook his head and put down a jack and slapped it quickly seconds before her. He put his hands up victoriously. "Ha! I win!" He said as a huge smile cam onto his face. A genuine she hadn't seen on him.
Jenna smiled slightly and shook her head. She almost felt guilty that she was here safe and playing cards with Glenn, not worrying about anything about the moment...except Merle. She felt so bad that her and Daryl had just left after finding the notes.
"You worried about Merle?" Glenn asked as he took the cards and add them to his pile.
She shrugged. "I know he can take care of himself. It's just I'm scared for him. I have no idea where he went or is, or who he is with, or if he's safe." Jenna told him looking down at her pile of cards.
Glenn noticed she looked down and he put his pile of cards down before putting his hands over her's. "I'm sure Merle Dixon is kicking ass out there. He's probably having a blast going out there and killing things without any consequences of his actions." He told her chuckling lightly at the end.
Jenna smiled nodding looking up at Glenn. He really was sweet, and kind. He always did whatever people asked of him, without complaint. She loved that. He was like a hero, only without being buff. But she could tell that before all this he had a big heart and a lot of love he could give.
Suddenly Glenn tensed. "What?" Jenna asked worriedly.
"The air..." Glenn trailed off sitting up.
Jenna froze and held her breath for a second and listened for something. But she heard nothing. Then the lights went out and Jenna immediately went closer to Glenn and wrapped her arms around his arms. "What's going on?"
"I don't know." He told her truthfully, but then he looked under the door and saw a light coming from the hallway. "C'mon." He led her to the door and opened it. The light swept into the room and Glenn pointed to her sneakers while he put his on. He put on his backpack while she got her duffel bags.
"Ready?" He asked her, when she nodded, he took her hand and led her out the room and when e went to go to the elevator she shook her head.
"No, I have to see if Breanna and Daryl are okay." Jenna told him letting go of his hand putting up her blonde hair as she walked down the narrow hallway to go to the room.
She saw the opened the door and saw Daryl holding the tiny red-head. "Bre." He whispered into her ear. Bre looked up at him and then saw Jenna and she smiled and went over to her and hugged her.
"Bre we need to get to the elevator okay? We need to get out of here, and I need you to be strong right now, okay?" Jenna told her gently but urgently. They needed to get out of here to see what is going on.
Breanna nodded and looked at Jenna and then saw Glenn standing behind her breathing slightly heavily. "C'mon Andrea, T-Dog, and Jacqui are waiting by the elevator. We need to get up there."
Jenna nodded and walked over to him taking his hand in hers and walking closely to him down the hallway. While Daryl had his crossbow in his right hand and his left hand on Bre's lower back guiding her.
As they got closer to the elevator they saw everyone and Breanna got excited about seeing Jacqui and ran over to her leaving Daryl to mutter a curse before walking quickly to catch up to Breanna where Jacqui was hugging the tiny girl to her.
"Ready?" T-Dog asked as he pressed the button. Everybody nodded being quiet waiting for the elevator to come. When it dinged they all stepped on and Daryl kept stealing glances over at Breanna who was standing near Jacqui.
It came up and they immediately saw the chaos they had been missing out on. Rick and Shane were yelling at Jenner and Lori was holding Carl to her while Dale stood by Rick and Shane trying to calm them down.
"Open this door now before I shoot you in the Goddamn head!" Shane bellowed at Jenner who standing in front of computer staring hard at the screen.
"Why!? There's no hope! I open those doors and they are all coming in! I will not die in my own place because of a bunch of cannibals!" Jenner yelled at Shane.
"Call them what they really are! Walkers, fucking zombies man!" Shane yelled.
"You're wrong about their being no hope." Rick said. "Even if you don't believe there isn't let us have that chance. It's your choice to stay here."
Breanna left Jacqui's side and walked over to Daryl and tugged on his arm for him to lower his head a bit and she went on her tip toes. "What are they talking about?" She asked him.
Daryl shrugged. "I don't know, but I'm sure as hell gonna find out."
Daryl walked over to the trio and yelled, "What the fuck is going on?"
Shane looked angrily over at the redneck then pointed to Jenner. "Ask the fucking scientist here!"
Daryl simply looked over to Jenner. "Well?"
Jenner answered him. "The system is dropping all non-essential use of power. It is designed to keep the computers running until the last possible moment. We just approached the half hour mark." He told them.
"What the fuck does that mean?" Daryl barked at him, looking up at the clock.
"HITS." Jenner said.
Daryl looked confused before realization came onto his face. "This fuckin place is gonna blow! And you keepin us in here?"
Jenner shrugged. "I'm giving you guys mercy. You won't have to come back as one of those things."
Daryl punched him, and that's when Shane and Rick came back by him and restricted him. "Open the fuckin door, ya prick!"
Shane shook his head snickering. "Think this is the only time I'll agree with ya Dixon."
Daryl didn't register Shane spoke to him he broke free from their grip and went over by the doors and started kicking it. "Open the fucking door!"
Rick looked over at Jenner, pleading with him. "Give us a chance." He said again, his haunted eyes looked at him.
Jenner pressed the button and the doors began to open. He'd let these people have their chance, they'd blow it. Ironic, he thought. But when he saw all of them scurry out except for two he realized these two were smart and when the old man cam back in the blonde fought with him before finally giving in and leaving.
He looked over to Jacqui and smiled slightly, and she offered one in return. As that was the last sight he saw before the CDC exploded.
