hello i know its been a long time since i posted anything but i'm here now so enjoy.

Mason's POV

"Just a little further now…" Greg whispered as we silently tried to avoid the small group of walkers coming towards us. Like little stupid people we are we left our perfectly fine car because it would cause too much noise. Max had said that the house was in the middle of nowhere and that no walker could trace back the noise to the place but Greg was having none of it. Now we are stuck walking…AGAIN! I'm never getting used to it.

When we finally lost the walkers I turned to Kate. "What are you thinking?" I ask her making sure the others couldn't hear us.

"I want to sleep" she chuckled while rubbing her eyes. "but I really want to pee too." She looked over to Greg and then looked back to me with pleading eyes "could you tell him that we need to stop for a pee break. Thanks you're great." She said assuming I was actually going to do it.

I roll my eyes and shake my head slowly. "You're the one that needs to pee. Do it yourself." Just when I said it I suddenly felt the urge to pee. Seriously Mason! I'm just gonna have to hold it in to save myself some pride.

"It's a big house" I said while Daniel whistled in awe. We had walked for too long and all I wanted was to sleep forever. The house was bigger than Greg described; almost like a mansion but not quite. The backyard was spacious but had nothing in it. It was just an empty plot of land that we have yet to transform into our food supply. Everything was starting to look up and for once we have made the right choice.

"Mason!?" I froze as I recognized the voice. There were a few people inside the house that we still haven't met but I never expected for 'him' to be here.

I turn around and watch everyone surrounding us. Greg, Max, Jack, Daniel, and Kate only. Thank god. If there would have been more people I wouldn't have done what I did. My fists were clenched and my heart sped up. I quickly ran over to 'him' and tackled him to the ground while hitting him. The man I was hitting was my ex, Riley, who cheated on me with one of my friends. Out of the billions of people in the world HE had to be one of the survivors.

"How. Could. You. Do. That. To. Me." I said in between every hit I gave him once we stood up.

"Hey. Ow! Chill girl." He responded while trying to grab my fists. "I really thought we were past this."

"Past this?!" I blurted out. "Are you kidding me?! We haven't even talked to each other since it happened. How in the shit can we be past this?"

"Then let's talk about it." He said in a serious tone. I scoffed and turned around to look at everyone surrounding us.

"I'm not crazy ok." I said to everyone. "He was my boyfriend and cheated on me with one of my friends." Kate couldn't have been more furious at Riley. She really can't hide her emotions from her face.

"Ouch" Jack said quietly. That was the first time I had heard him talk. He has a nice voice…

"Hey! Let's not forget that you said you wanted to break up with me before I slept with your friend." Riley said while pointing at me accusingly.

"Yeah I did, but we didn't break up you dick. I wanted to talk to you. I wanted you to listen to me for once." I turned around and walked back to the room Greg gave me and Kate. I tried avoiding everyone and sat on my bed with Kate locking the door behind me.

"He's a dick…" Kate said while sitting next to me in bed. "He looked regretful though if that's what you wanted."

"I don't want him back. I stopped loving him the minute I caught them." I said while wiping some tears away. I pulled a blanket over me and closed my eyes for a minute.

Omniscient POV

While Kate and Mason were in their room, Aiden sat alone behind an old tree far away from the house. He considered this tree his new hideaway and would come every time he wanted to be alone. He has been having a hard time dealing with everything since the beginning and although he has gotten good at not dying he felt as if he wasn't living.

He slowly got his knife out and was actually thinking about ending it all. Just one little sting and it will go all away. Everything that has ever hurt him will all go away. The death of his mom, the death of his friends, and the death of his hope. 'There isn't anything keeping me here' he thought. The only thing that kept him from running away or killing himself when he was back home was the thought that when he grows up, he would be free. Now there's nothing to look up too since he could be free if he wanted too now.

He played with his knife and slowly looked into the reflection of the blade. He hadn't seen himself so lost in a long time. He touched the tip of the blade with his fingers and put pressure on it until he felt alive again. He needed the pain to let him know he wasn't dead. His eyes followed the stream of fresh blood flowing down his hand. He was so lost in all the blood that he didn't realize someone had snuck up on him.

"That looks like it hurts." A girl next to him said. He quickly spun around and dropped his knife.

"What the hell" he said while quickly standing up. "Did you follow me?" he said with a scowl on his face.

"Nope." She said in cheerful voice. "This is my spot. You like it?" she sat down and motioned Aiden to sit with her. Aiden sat down and smiled a little since she didn't look like a threat.

"I used to cut myself too" she said after a few minutes of silence. "It only brought more grief. If you feel like doing it again… talk to me. Maybe one day we'll become best friends." Aiden looked at her and smiled fully this time. He couldn't help not too… she was just too cheerful.

"Ok yeah, I will." He said with a sudden good feeling.

"Oh right I forgot, my name is Jamie." She stuck her hand out for him to shake.

"I'm Aiden." He took his hand out and was about to shake her hand when he realized it was full of blood. He quickly hid it away chuckling a little. Jamie started to laugh and grabbed his bleeding hand and shook it.

"We're connected now I guess" she said while cleaning her hand on her old pair of jeans. They both started to laugh again silently. 'Man that was a little gross' Aiden thought while shaking his head.
