6. Break Away-

When they had all met up, Nick had told the others he had not intended to stick around for long, and sometimes he still did intend to leave them. But he knew it was dangerous when you weren't in a group, and without the other 3 looking out for him, he would probably die very quickly regardless of his experience of living alone.

"I can understand if ya want to go after we get to the Evac centers, but'cha can't go now." Ellis smiled, watching Nick turn over the words in his head.

"And why's that?" Nick stood up, looking down at Ellis.

"Well..." Ellis rubbed the back of his neck, chuckling. "I'd miss ya Nick. We all would."

Nick wondered if Ellis knew what effect those words had on him.

7. Heaven-

"Oh my god…oh my god... HOLY SHIT!"

"What is it Nick?" Ellis came rushing over, combat shotgun raised in case of danger.

"It's…" Nick walked in through the large wooden doors, looking into the dimly lit room.

"What!" Ellis followed, then face-palmed with an audible slap.

"It's…whisky."

8. Innocence-

The first time Rochelle had thrown her arms around Ellis and kissed his cheek, the hick had gone bright red and frozen to the spot. He stayed like that for a whole minute before Nick came over and nudged him.

"Hey Ellis, you alright?" He smirked, having saw what had happened. Ellis took a deep breath and looked at him, offering a weak smile.

"Yea Nick, you?"

"Yes, I'm fine. And you're not Ellis, you're shaking like a leaf." It dawned on him. "Aww…"

Ellis looked away, obviously embarrassed, and scowled.

"Ellis…you've never had a girlfriend before, have you?"

A long paused, and Nick wondered if that question had been too personal, when he heard a chuckle from the younger man.

"Nope."

9. Drive-

"I'll agree to the idea, but I'M driving." Nick raised an eyebrow at Ellis, who shook his head.

"Actually, I think it should be the guy who came up with the idea that gets to drive the stock car!" Ellis folded his arms, looking up at the older man with an unusually stern face.

Nick chuckled, amused by his boldness.

"Says who?"

"Well…I do?" Ellis offered, grinning.

"…No." Nick looked up at the lift numbers that were counting down to the bottom floor.

"Aw come on Nick! Please? I'll make it up to ya"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yep! Tell ya what Nick, if I drive it halfway there, you can drive it the other." Ellis beamed as he watched the conman consider this, before grinning.

"Alright then."

A while later, when his turn to drive ticked around, Nick stared horrified at the traffic blocking their way. He glared daggers at Ellis, who looked innocently at him and hastily climbed out of the car to walk the rest of the way on foot.

10. Breathe-

While the other man hacked and coughed, Ellis's machete butchered the tongue and the smoker that was constricting his friend. Crouching down next to him, Ellis tilted his head and smiled.

"You know Nick, this reminds me o'the time mah buddy Keith and I-"

"Ellis" Nick interjected, accepting the man's hand to pull himself back up. "I was just practically squeezed half to death by a zombie with a tongue the length of a small football pitch covered in boils and lumps. How on earth can that relate to anything to do with Keith?"

"Well, if you'd let me tell the story then you'd know." Again with the bubbly voice, and Nick rubbed the bridge of his nose before sighing.

"Alright then, but let me get my breath back first."

"Sure thing." Ellis's eyes trailed down slowly to the floor, where he winced at the sight of the dead smoker. "Err…Nick?"

"Yes?" Came the grumbled response as the suited man was reloading his gun.

"That smoker's left a real-lovely blood stain on yer suit." Ellis chuckled, backing off subtly.

"What? Where I don't see any- Tits." Nick glared down at the offending stain, but by the time he had looked up, Ellis had disappeared into the bushes for fear of being bludgeoned to death by the smoker's corpse.
