Zed's POV
"Addison? Are you ok?" Eliza asks around me. I turn to see Addison on her feet looking forward blankly. No response. Suddenly, she starts to tip.
"Whoa, whoa! Addy!" I exclaim, hurrying to catch her.
"Wh-what...?" She blinks, hands resting against my chest, the uniform she was holding forgotten on the ground.
"Hey, take it easy." I tell her softly. She looks up at me with so much confusion in her eyes. "What were you trying to do?"
"I, um, was going to change." She says, like she had to think about it. I turn to Eliza and Bonzo.
"We'll catch up with you guys later ok? I'll call you on the Z-bands." I tell them.
"You sure you'll be ok?" Eliza asks. Bonzo nods looking very worried. I look down at Addison leaning against my chest then back to my friends.
"Yeah I think I'm gonna take her home to rest." I tell them. Both agree.
"I'll go tell Principal Lee that she's sick and you're taking her home." Eliza says as the two zombies walk out the door, but stops and peeks back in. "Come to my house after school and we'll talk more!" She yells, giving me her 'I mean it' look before closing the door behind her. I know what she means and it takes me back to what she had just started to tell me before Addy fainted. My brows knit together in concern as my brain tries process what she just told me.

Eliza grabbed my shoulder to turn me around. "Zed, you just marked her! This is serious!" She whisper yells at me.
"What are you talking about? I bit her, yes, but she's fine now." I respond trying to brush it off like Addy had. But Eliza grabs my shirt to keep me from turning away from her.
"You don't get it!" I'm surprised by how worked up she still is, more than even I am. "You two were doing the dirty in there when you were full zombie. Yeah, we could hear bits and pieces." She added for good measure, as if I wasn't embarrassed enough by her statement. "You didn't just bite her, Zed, you marked her." My brows furrowed in confusion.
"What are you talking about? Marked?" I question for some clarity on the term she keeps using. Eliza pats the messenger bag on her hip.
"I was doing some research after Addison went in for you. Apparently, before the Z-bands, zombies would mark their mates with a bite to post claim on them. It's a very animalistic approach, but that's how they acted without the electric pulses of the Z-bands." She explained quickly and quietly. Not wanting to upset Addison further at the moment.
"B-but how? I don't even know why I turned full zombie! My Z-band has been working fine." I questioned. Eliza shrugged to say she's not sure either but cranes her neck to look behind me.
"Addison? Are you ok?"
XxX Back to present XxX
I shake my head. I can't focus on all that now.
"Come on, let me help you change." I say, holding onto her as I walk her to a fresh bed. I sit her down and hand her the half empty bottle of orange juice to finish. She gulps it down as I get her uniform ready to change.
I lay out the two pieces and turn back to her. "Ready?" I ask, walking in front of her and grabbing the bottom of her shirt. She nods her head and starts to lift her arms, wincing when she reaches too high too fast. "Let's take it slow ok?" I instruct, her eyes look unfocused.
'She must have lost more blood than we thought.' I think to myself. She acknowledges me and slowly lifts her arms as I lift her shirt over her head and down her arms. I toss the tarnished garment aside then having her lift her hips so I can slide to skirt and shredded panties off her legs, tossing them with the other piece.
I turn back to see her laying down in only her bra. I gulp. She looks up at me, her hand lifting towards me, beckoning me. I don't make her wait. I'll give her anything she wants. My hand slides into hers and she pulls me down to her.
She tugs my hand until I am laying with her on the bed. I lay on my side, on her good side, and wrap an arm around her waist. She cups my face in both hands and pulls me down for a kiss, a passionate, heated kiss. I can't shake this feeling that I have to show her how much I love her. I know she knows, but I need to show her.
The scare we had today shook me to the core, I realize now that life is even more precious than I thought before. She could have been ripped away just like that. My heart constricts in my chest. I can't imagine my life without Addison in it.
I bring the hand around her waist up to her cheek, grazing over the wound of her shoulder along the way. She shivers under me. I cradle her jawbone in my hand, running my thumb gently over her cheek as I pour every ounce of love I have into this kiss.
Addison grabs hold of my shirt, she starts to shake, her whole body is shaking and I feel moisture land on my thumb. I open my eyes and see tears streaming down her face.
"What's wrong?! Am I hurting you?!" I panic, checking to make sure I'm not crushing her shoulder or something. She quickly shakes her head, her body still shaking and her eyes watering. "What is it then baby?" I ask gently.
"I-I'm... scared." She whispers. My eyes widen, and I begin to withdraw. The last thing I want is for her to be afraid of me. But her grip on my shirt tightens, keeping me in my place. "I'm not scared of you," she sniffs, "I'm scared you'll never make love to me again." Her words are wrecked with sobs as she buries her face in my chest.
"W-what?" I stutter out.
"I'm scared you'll be too afraid of hurting me that you'll never be able to make love to me again." She cries. I'm dumbfounded. Where would she come up with that idea?
Without another word, I lift her chin once more and capture her lips with mine, wiping tears away with my thumb as I kiss her. How could she possibly think that? I want nothing more than her all the time.
I shift our position so I'm more on top of her. Her crying seems to calm from my affection, pulling at the back of my shirt to indicate she wants it gone. I lift up off her and remove it before returning to my place over her, not hesitating to pick up where I left off kissing her soft lips.
She tentatively wraps her arms around my torso, digging her nails into my back, I groan into her mouth and I smell her arousal spike. I shift position again so her legs are wrapped around me.
Before I do anything else, I focus myself on our kisses. Her soft, sweet lips move smoothly with mine. Her breathy moans escaping when we're separated for a moment before rejoining for more. I can't get enough of this girl.
She's my everything.
I slide my pants down my hips and position myself at her entrance. I look into her eyes, the deep pools of blue I drown in daily. I push in slowly, taking both of our breaths away. It feels like we are connecting so much deeper than just with our bodies, our hearts beating as one. Her hips meeting mine with every thrust. I can't stop staring into her stormy eyes, and she's staring back into my brown ones.
Can she see how much I adore her? I see nothing but pure love in hers. I'm sure she can see the same. I lean in and kiss her. Every place our bodies connect it feels like sparks. Our movements are slow and steady, but no less passionate. The sensations unlike anything we've experienced before. I've never felt this way and it makes my heart flutter in my chest because it's with her. My Addison.
"Ah, I love you Addy." I moan in her ear. Her walls clamp down on me as she cums, immediately sending me over the edge as well.
"I love you so much Zed." Addison breathily whispers. I wrap my arms around her and hug her tight. Both of us know that our words are an understatement.
After we catch our breath, I roll off of her and fix my pants before grabbing her new uniform to help her get dressed. Carefully, I slide the cheer top over her head and up her arms. Then help her slide on the shirt with the covering spanks. I thank whatever cheer god there is that spanks exist so she doesn't have to go without underwear completely.
I grab one of the apples Bonzo had brought and hand it to her. She takes it and looks up at me. "How about we get you home to rest?" I ask with a smirk. Her face pales.
"I don't know if I can walk that far." She looks panicked, as if I'd make her walk. I chuckle, gathering up all our things and tossing my backpack over my shoulder. I return to her, apple eaten. I hand her another before tossing the core into the trash. Then I kneel down with my back to her between her knees.
"Hop on, Princess." I tease, when I glance back I see her surprised expression shift into a thankful smile. She carefully climbs onto my back and wraps her arms around my neck, I make sure I have a good hold on her legs before standing. "Comfy?" I ask. She nods with another mouthful of apple. With Addison securely on my back, we leave the Zombie Safe Room and head towards the exit of the school.
We make our way back to her house down the sunny streets of Seabrook. Just a girl and a zombie.
