Ved had not gotten out of bed for three weeks. His brother Jay had been worried. He felt sympathy for him but knew he could not change the past. Ved turned on his side and closed his eyes so he would not have to look at the door. He would stare at it for hours at a time, waiting for Chloe to walk back in.

------------You can hear the door creak open-----

"Ved?" said a girls voice

Ved slowly opened his eyes and jumped up.

"Chloe?" He said turning around.

But it wasn't Chloe. In front of him stood the first girl in his life. Kale had gone missing once the virus took over there city. She was his best friend and girlfriend. Ved had thought the virus took her as well has his family. He jumped from his bed and backed up..

"Kale…Is that you..no…no"Ved stuttered

"Um yes…" Kale giggled.

"Ohmigod, Kale?" he replied lightly "I thought you um…had been ..um got the virus"

"Heh nope"

Ved ran up to the bewildered girl and hugged her.

"I've missed you so much" He practically screamed " Where have you been!"

Kale just smiled at Ved and gave him a kiss..
