Joe stood behind the camera impatiently. He shifted his weight from foot to foot as he tried to give the appearance of showing any interest to what was happening before him. As Charles acted like a doctor with a cure for zombies, Joe's mind was in a world of his own. Alice was what had left him zoned out all day. She had knocked on his window late at night and made him feel like the happiest boy alive.

When the morning had come and he had stumbled into the kitchen with a grin stuck on his face, he found his Dad sitting at the table. He asked why he was so happy, and Joe had dropped his smile putting on an act of it never being there, and answered him by asking what he was talking about. His Dad had just laughed at him, and told Joe that he would be home again late, and to not get in any trouble. Joe had nodded as his Dad put on his belt holding his gun and headed out the door. Joe had thought about eating but the rest of his day was the only thing that he could think about at that moment. He had skipped breakfast and had run over to Charles house, so they could hopefully, quickly get the filming over before Alice came.

"Joe!" He looked up from the camera at Charles.

"Hey, so we're done, and you're wasting my film." Joe quickly turned off the camera and apologized. Charles, Martin, and Cary looked at Joe.

"Dude, where did you go?" Cary asked.

"What do you mean?" Joe responded, looking at each of his friends.

"It's like you've had your head in the clouds or something," Charles said taking off the doctor's outfit he was wearing. "You did this yesterday also."

"I know! The monster poisoned you or something when he picked you up, and you're losing brain cells!" Cary popped his fake zombie eyes back in, and marched around groaning with his arms stretched out. Joe laughed.

"No, I'm fine, really. I've just had stuff on my mind."

Charles was annoyed. "Alright, but you know what would be mint? If you put your mind to my movie, the dead line is seriously in a couple days."

While Charles was talking to him, Joe noticed that Martin looked like he had something to say, but was holding it in.

The four of them continued to film scenes non stop, and only stopped for lunch prepared by Mrs. Kaznyk.

When they moved from the kitchen table back to the camera, there was two knocks on Charles' front door and Alice walked in. Joe automatically turned all his attention to her. She walked into the room smiling at all of them, but Joe could see that it was mostly directed at him. From behind Joe could hear Charles murmur in a not so frendly tone asking why she was here. Joe was about to turn and face him, and ask him to take that back, but Alice spoke.

"Where's Preston?"

Martin smirked and looked at her like he knew her biggest secret. "He said his mother wanted him home for lunch, he left about an hour ago."

"Yeah, but we all know that was a lie, he's just a wussy and doesn't want to leave his house." Cary said stopping his zombie act.

"Oh ok, well Joe are you ready?" She asked. He nodded and made his way to follow her to the door.

"Wait Joe you can't leave, we still need to film!"

"Sorry Charles, but I have to go." Joe opened the door for Alice and went out after her, leaving Charles with his jaw on the floor. When the door closed behind them Alice grabbed his hand.

"So where are you taking me?"

"Uh," his mind went blank, this was something he honestly didn't think of, "How about, uh, a walk?" He said it like a question and Alice laughed.

"Ok, sounds good." Joe let out a sigh of relief.

He started the date by walking around town. They looked down every street they passed, and each one brought memories and stories which they shared. Some were happy and some, most, were not so. The unhappy ones were most recent, two days ago to be exact. Joe and Alice continued to walk hand in hand, and let their feet take them where they went. They practically told each other their life stories, and were completely absorbed by them until they reached the end of town limits to wide open dry fields.

Joe stopped. "Do you want to stop and go back?"

She shook her head and started walking again. It was her turn to lead as they left paved road to gravel. He had an idea of where she was leading him. They talked about why he was into zombies, going into high school, and each other's friends. Quite a bit of the time they chatted, Joe looked down at their intertwined hands in constant amazement. When he looked up, he recognized where they were. It was different from the last time he had seen it, it was cleaned up, and looked like nothing had ever happened to it, except the fact that the store was missing and replaced by supplies to rebuild it.

It was the site of the wreck.

Their conversation ended, and they walked up to the site in a comfortable silence. Alice walked to a bench that looked like it had survived the crash, and pulled Joe down on to it with her. They both stared out onto the area where the smashed, twisted up train used to lay.

"Amazing isn't it," Alice said, and Joe looked to see that her eyes studied the scene before her with an almost admiration. "How badly the Air Force wanted to hide this, that they got rid of the train and fixed this place up."

"Yeah." Was all he was able to slip out, for he found himself trapped looking at her. As he sat and stared at her, while she looked at the new rail road tracks, he knew that he was going to kiss her on this date. It wasn't a dream, it was a fact

"Hey Joe, do you- "He heard her voice hitch when she turned to him. He didn't notice that he had inched forward ever so slightly that his thigh was touching hers. Her eyes grew wide and Joe winced, pushing himself back.

"Sorry Alice, I didn't mean-"She cut him off.

"No, no it's fine," She scooted to him, "I didn't mind." They stared into each other's eyes. Joe didn't know how long they stayed like that, and he didn't care one bit. He flicked his eyes to her lips many times, and was pleased to see that her eyes did the same to his lips. He leaned to her slowly, and watched as her eyes flickered closed.

His heart had never beaten so fast or loud, it sounded like it was rebounding through the air telling everyone in the world that he was going to kiss Alice Dainard, the most beautiful girl in the 8th grade, now 9th. He slowly shut his eyes, continuing to lean forward, and felt their quick breathing mesh together. He felt their noses softly bump, and then he felt her gentle, soft lips on his. His heart seemed to stop when he touched his lips to hers. He wanted to stay like that forever, but found that he pulled away.

He opened his eyes and saw that Alice still had hers closed. She broke into a grin that made him feel like he was floating. She looked at him with her bright blue eyes and time seemed to freeze. She tilted her head down a little, but kept her eyes still on him giving a look like she wanted more. Alice brought a faint blush to his cheeks, which was rare, and wrapped her arms around his neck. He wanted to ask what she was doing, but he liked having her close, and stopped himself from interrupting.

She brought her lips back to his and kissed him harder than he kissed her. He pulled her closer by placing his arms around her back. Joe had never felt so wonderful, for as long as he could remember. Hours seemed to pass before she pulled away, even if part of him knew it was only a few seconds. He kept his eyes closed, and could feel her head rest on his shoulder. He pulled her even closer, causing her to move her legs across his, and embraced her like her would lose her any minute. They remained like that for much longer than her kiss. After some time, they managed to let go of each other.

"Joe?" He looked at Alice; her eyes were slightly puffy and wet. She took a deep breath and looked down at the ground. He wondered what made her suddenly sad. Did he do something wrong?

"Yes?"

"Don't," a tear slid down her cheek, "Don't leave me, alright?"

Joe never wanted to leave her. He knew he was young, but he knew, with his whole being that he would always want to be with her, at her side.

"I won't, ever, I promise." Her face shined at him, and he wanted to know what the reason was for her question. "But, why did you think that I would?"

Alice wiped away some tears that fell on her cheek.

"I feel like everyone that ever cared about me has left at one point or another. My mother, sometimes my father, I've never really had anyone to trust, and after everything you've done for me, I've never felt so safe.

Joe would do anything for her and risked his life, and lives of his friends for her. He might not know what love felt like, but as he sat on a dirty wooden bench at the place where both of their lives changed forever, he was feeling something more than a crush.

"We should probably get back soon," She grabbed his hand and stood up from the bench, and so did Joe. "Charles is most likely going to kill me for keeping you from his movie, for even this long." Joe gave a small laugh and intertwined his fingers with Alice's.

"You're most likely right." They walked back into town watching the sun start to set. Joe led Alice through different streets than the ones they came from to go back to Charles' house. He guided her onto the street by the graveyard. There were loud noises coming from the graveyard and Joe looked to see that the Air Force surrounded the block. They were pulling parts of the monsters invention out of the underground cave.

"No," It made him uncomfortable to have them there.

"Joe?" He had let go of Alice's hand and walked up to the fence.

"I thought they were gone." He mumbled under his breath.

"Are you ok?" Alice walked up next to him on the fence. He didn't know how to answer her.

"JOE!" Both of them turned to see Charles running down the street.

"Charles! Why are you running? What happened? Joe questioned him.

Charles hunted for air. "They're taking us out one by one!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that Preston never made it home, Cary never came back after I sent him to get your model train from your house to blow up because I was mad at you, and I watched Martin get snatched waiting outside my house for his parents to pick him up." Charles stopped for more air. "They smashed through my front door and I escaped out the back, and ran as fast as I could to find you! They're still after me! We have to move now!

Before Joe could comprehend what Charles said to them, the sound of large trucks greeted them from both sides of the street. Joe gripped Alice's hand in fear as they were surrounded by armed men jumping out of the trucks.

"We found them."

Alright, I'm not a big fan of this chapter, but i will tell you guys this, i'm a big fan of foreshadowing, so this chapter remains the way it is.
