A/N: OKAY THIS CHAPTER IS REAL SHORT. I KNOW, I KNOW BUT IT'S JUST TO
EXPLAIN THINGS A LITTLE. TO END THEIR TRAGEDY. THIS ISN'T THE END JUST
YET. ANYWAY, THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS.
Max, Jondy, Alec, Logan and OC stood in front of Fogle Towers. They were saying good bye to Zack and Brin.
Zane had already gone back home. To his dogs of course.
Now Zack and Brin were going. They had stayed a little longer due to Zack's weakened condition and to check up on Jondy. They were going back on the road again, stopping on some cities along the way to check on the others.
"You two stay out of trouble." Zack said trying to sound stern to Max and Jondy who just grinned at him and pulled him into a tight hug. He thought it was a bad idea having them in the same city. They were the most reckless out of all of them, even when they were younger.
"We love you Zack." Max said hugging him tightly.
"Yeah." Jondy piped in. She was still a little weak from the bullet wound on her back, making her limp when she walked. Doctor Carr said she'd be fine in a month if not less.
"You take care of him, Brinny." Jondy said turning to their sister.
"I will." Brin promised, giving them her usual small smile.
"Kick his ass if he doesn't listen." Max said with a grin. "Or you can call one of us to do it for you." She added and Zack gave her an amused frown.
"Call us okay." Jondy said, looking at Zack, waiting for him to promise her.
"We'll call." Zack said. Jondy smiled and hugged him again.
Zack turned to Logan and Alec who were watching the exchanged of thank yous and I love yous.
"You two better take care of my sisters." He said giving them a stern determined look that made a chill run down Logan's spine. "I can always hunt you down and bust your asses if you don't. Make one of them cry and you're dead." He said.
Logan looked terrified. Even Alec was a little scared. This was Zack- serious, tough big brother who would kick anyone's ass if they hurt his family, especially his little sisters.
"We promise, man." Alec said coolly. "They can kick our asses anytime, anyway." He added with a chuckle before shaking Zack's hand.
"Thanks for everything." Logan said.
"Yeah." OC added. "We owe you. Big time." She smiled. OC had gotten used to Zack. She actually liked the dude despite his usual stony and moody attitude.
Max sighed as she watched them. She was beyond grateful to Zack for helping them out. Always there. And Brinny and Zane too. She wouldn't have made it through this without them.
She sure was going to miss them.
She was actually getting used to seeing them everyday. Zack with his stern determined look, Brin with her small smile a quiet ways, reflecting Jondy's the almost the same attitude and Zane always being funny, always eating something that came from Jondy's fridge.
But they were all going now. Zane had gone earlier. Max and Jondy weren't the only ones that needed their big brother. Max wanted them to stay, just a little longer. Jondy had even suggested it to Zack. But of course he refused, even when Brin seemed to like the idea.
"I need to check on the others." He had said. It was true. They were being kind of selfish for wanting him all to themselves. It was only because they loved him so much.
They stood there and watched Zack and Brin hop on the jeep they'd stolen. Jondy and OC waved frantically. Max just crossed her arms, leaned against Alec and sighed. She already missed them.
Max hoped that someday they'd be all back together again but not because they have to save someone. She just wanted it to be a reunion. A nice family reunion like the ones people used to have before the pulse.
Max could only hope.
