As they walked away she turned to wave, I just turned because I didn't want to have to say goodbye. It was one of the toughest things that I ever had to do. I head her yell "I don't want to leave him like this, he'll die alone."

"That's what he wants or he would of stayed with us." Turtle said

"No, he's too damn thick headed."

"But he would just end up turning and killing us."

"No he wouldn't he was just trying to do what he always does."

"And what's that?"

"Trying to protect me!"

"Why would he do that?"

"I don't know. He's always doing that no matter what."

"Ok well lets go back and ask him."

They all turned to go back and see me and through the arguing they didn't notice that I been fighting a dog. It had almost bitten me I was trying to draw my gun, but it was stuck! "What the fuck!" I spurted out without hesitation, "Well I'm going to die anyways so I might as well go out with a bang." I said as I pulled out the grenade launcher and pulled the trigger and hit the thing in the chest and blew it to peaces. The people came running up to me lying on the ground. "So what's up?" I asked jokingly.

"Not funny R.J." Alexia said

"And why not?"

"Because, you could of died."

"Like I said I'm not afraid to die. I could of held it off if I was dead." I said with a smirk

"Still not funny."

"Ok fine I will just become emotionless once again."

"I didn't say that I just want you to take this serious, more than you are."

"Ok fine I'll try to take this more serious, even if it seems funny to me."

"Why does it seem funny?"

"Because it is, I mean that I could be dead but I'm not."

"So you find this funny, that's one fucked up since of humor."

"Ok well.you always called me a jerk."

"Don't be a dickhead."

"Fine I wont."

"Don't be like that either."

"What do you want me to be like?"

"The kind, young man that you use to be."

"Why all that happened was I got hurt, because I was too damn nice!"

"Well don't be all that nice!"

"Look, I'm sorry for yelling, it's just this is getting to me."

"Yeah same here it's just this has become a giant annoyance."

"I agree with you, it has."

"Well lets get going, we still have awhile till we get to the hospital."

"Lets head to the high school for tonight, we all need some sleep so I'll stand first guard once again."

"Sounds like a plan." Turtle said

The high school was about 1 mile from where we were. We had to walk to the high school because the car was trashed thanks to nemesis. We walked down endless side streets. We found some empty shells one the ground. * 9mm auto * the only gun that used these rounds was the MP5A5. We looked around then heard some footsteps. We all drew our guns and got read to fire at anything that moved and was dead. "Freeze assholes!" a loud booming voice said

"Why must we freeze?"

"This is the U.S.M.C.'S General Curt Wilson and we are here to help."

"Oh well we are all alive, except for me I got cut by a licker."

"We found the vaccine in the hospital."

"Do you have any with you?" I said with hopes.

"Yes, very little, but it should work."

"Thank god!"

"We will inject you with it."

"Ok fine just hurry up, I'm a U.S.M.C. also."

"Really what rank."

"Captain Killsalot."

"Oh you're the legendary Cap. Killsalot?"

"Yes I am, Legendary?"

"You took out that whole squad by yourself!"

"Yeah but right after that they had me removed from battle situations."

"Why?" He said as he put the needle in my arm.

"They said that I was completely unstable to be in war conflicts."

"Oh ok. They said that you where insane."

"Basically."

"That must suck."

"Hell yeah." And he removed the needle from my arm.

"Now you will become sleepy and you will be safe here."

"Ok" I soon fell asleep and had a dream that I hadn't had since I was a teen. I had gone over my friend's house and I walked into the garage and he was just hanging there, I walked up slowly and kept repeating, "This can be real, this cant be real." And I touched him and turned him around. He turned into bones and hit the floor he reassembled turning into Alexia who had cut her wrist. I begin to cry in the dream and in reality. I felt a gentle nudge that had awoken me to see Alexia just standing there crying. "What's the matter?"

"You where yelling something about me dying."

"It was just a bad nightmare."

"About what."

"Nothing it will never come true."

"What was it?"

"Nothing."

As we laid there motionless we began to kiss gently, we embraced as I smiled looking into her brown eyes, which looked so beautiful in the moon light. The time was right for me to ask her the question that had plagued me since we had gotten here but I didn't know how.
