AN: Here is another installment of Zombie Angel! As all ways I don't own IZombie or anyone there in, I do own Astrid though. I did forget to put in the last chapter that Major is a zombie. Okay here is the next chapter! Enjoy!

-Chapter 6- I don't know if I can-

Astrid walked into the apartment around six that evening and was greeted by a unhappy Liv.

"Where were you?" Astrid looked at Liv with a smirk. "Whats it to you? I am a grown adult Liv." Liv stepped in front of Astrid as she tried to go to her room. "Astrid I can only say this once, stay away from him." Astrid looked at Liv. "Liv, I know you are just trying to protect me. But I can take care of my self, and not only that Blaine has done nothing to warrant me not trusting him." Astrid said pushing past Liv. Liv followed after her. "Has he brainwashed you!?" Liv snapped. Astrid turned abruptly to Liv with a glare. "NO! I believe its you thats trying to brainwash me Liv, because all you and Peyton have been trying to do is get me to do is hate him! Now get out of my room and leave me the fuck alone!" Astrid yelled shoving Liv out of her room and slamming the door in Liv's face.

Liv stood there shellshocked. Her cousin had never been so aggressive with her before, and Liv was worried that this could be the beginning of something bad. Liv walked into the living room and picked up her cell phone and opened her contacts list. As she scrolled through her contacts and stopped at the name that she never thought she would dial for help, she took a deep breath. She hit the call button and put the phone to her ear. As it rang she kinda hoped he wouldn't pick up, but he did on the third ring.

"What do you want now? You calling to establish that Im at home and not standing outside your cousins window, planing a jail break?"

"Blaine, I know your interested in Astrid. But if you are interested in her romantically you need to be fair about it, you need to tell her everything about yourself." Liv said. As she said it though she couldn't believe she was saying it, especially to Blaine. Blaine was quiet for a moment. "You Liv, are calling me to give me relationship advice? And about your cousin? Are you feeling okay? Did you eat a stoner brain?"

"Blaine, Im trying to give you a chance. And a chance for Astrid to see who you really are."Liv stated.

"Oh I see, your hoping if I tell her everything she'll drop me like a lead weight. So you do have an agenda here. Your not trying to help me."Blaine chuckled.

Liv sighed and shook her head. "No Blaine, Im going to leave the decision up to her. She is right, she is an adult."

"Okay do you guys want to come here or do you want me to come over there?"Blaine asked.

"You can come here if you want, she's in her room right now she's um…A little mad at me.'' Liv said looking down the hall at Astrid's bedroom door. "Okay I'll be there in a few." Blaine said then hung up. Liv hung up and leaned back into the couch. She didn't want to do it but she knew she had to, she had to let Astrid make her own decision.

Twenty minutes later there was a knock at the door and Liv answered it and found as expected that it was Blaine. "Thanks for coming." Liv said. "No problem." Blaine replied. "Hang on I'll go get her." Liv said as she headed down the hall to get Astrid. Blaine sat on the couch wondering how he was going to explain everything.

"Astrid?'' Liv said knocking on the bedroom door. "Go away Liv!" Astrid hollered from the room. "Astrid Blaine is here." Liv said opening the door a crack. Astrid got off her bed and walked over to Liv. "What? Why is he here?"She asked. "He wants to talk to you." Liv answered opening the door all the way. Astrid followed Liv to the living room. "Hi Blaine, is everything okay?" Blaine looked at her and smiled. "Yeah, I just think we need to talk." Astrid looked at Blaine then at Liv. "Astrid if you knew what Blaine has done you wouldn't want to be with him." Liv stated. "What have you done Blaine? Tell me, please." Astrid asked. Blaine was quiet for a moment then looked at Astrid. "I've done things Im not proud of, I know you would never forgive me for…I've killed people…." Astrid was quiet she tried to swallow the knot in her throat as tears came into her eyes. "You've….killed people? Why?" She asked. Blaine looked at his hands. "I thought it was the only way to get the brains I needed to survive, and it was also a business to supply the city zombies with brains." Astrid closed her eyes fighting back more tears. Blaine stood up and walked over to Astrid. "I was also a utopium dealer." Astrid looked at him her eyes held confusion and sadness. "You were a killer and a drug dealer?" Blaine nodded. "Yes, but Im not anymore Im trying to turn my life around." He said gently. Astrid shook her head, the tears winning and falling free. "I don't know, If I can…" Blaine gently pulled Astrid against him. "Astrid your the only good thing in my life…I need you…" He whispered.

Astrid looked at him, his blue gaze haunting and pleading. "I….I…." Before she could say more Blaine kissed her. She couldn't help herself, she returned the kiss with much heat and passion. Liv couldn't help herself, she smiled at the sight. Everything Blaine said to Astrid, Liv knew was the truth and there was no indication of a lie in the statements. She thought maybe just once the man was turning his life around.

When Blaine pulled away he smiled at Astrid and she returned the smile. Liv walked over smiling at the two of them. "Okay Astrid, I support your decision. Im happy for you two." Blaine and Astrid looked at Liv. "Thanks." Astrid said. Blaine smiled at Liv. "Thanks Liv."

Astrid gave Liv a hug. "Im sorry about earlier Liv." Liv returned the hug. "Its no problem Astrid, we fight sometimes thats life." Blaine looked at his watch. "well I better go, i left Don E in charge and who knows what that knuckle head is doing." Astrid gave Blaine a kiss good bye. "okay I'll stop by tomorrow." Blaine smiled. "I'll look forward to it babe." Blaine left and Astrid and Liv sat down on the couch. "You called him didn't you?" Astrid asked. Liv nodded. "Yeah, you were right. Your an adult you can make your own decisions." Astrid smiled. "Thank you Liv."

-Next Time in Zombie Angel-

"Major?! Major?!" Astrid looked around in panic as she struggled with the ropes binding her hands. Major lay unconscious on the floor, as their capture stood out of Astrid's line of sight. "Who are you?! What do you want?!" She yelled. "Why its quit simple my dear, your cousin is putting a damper on my plans…."
