Hey guys its me again, I just wanna say again thanks for the reviews I get. Especially from Spacedragon1999 and Collussus96 with suggestions. I just want to point out one thing before continuing on: The appearance of the military was just something that popped into my head, like I said, but we are not going to hear from that group because of Casey tying up loose ends, and they're pretty much a small splinter group anyways. And the way Casey took down the soldiers may or may not been that realistic but he's no stranger to fighting. Anyways enough of me babbling, heres chapter 14

Chapter 14

The Doc was doing all that he can to make sure that Hershel was going to make it, and the bullet out of him made it easier to do his job, but he lost a lot of blood. Doc said if he needed anything he would let me know.

I needed some solitude, so I was up on the guard tower looking out at the view ignoring and blocking some tightly pack groups of zombies that are by the fence trying and failing miserably to push it down.

The morning sun glowed dark pink dimly lighting the forest in a dark color in a beautiful way. The air was still a little bit chilly, which was a nice change because of most days being boiling hot. I knew Georgia can get hot but this is ridiculous! The last summer I had up in PA got around 80 degrees and that's it. I don't really miss PA all that much anymore, but I wonder how many of my friends up there are alive. Keven, Cindy, Nick, Vic, Nancy I never heard from them when the outbreak began.

Hope you guys are okay

"Climbing trees still I see?"

I turned around to see Yuki coming over taking a seat next to me.

I smirked "Shouldn't be news for you." I answered.

"It isn't news," She said smiling.

My expression changed all worried. "How's Hershel holding up?"

Yuki gave me a reassuring smile. "Doc stabilized him a few minutes ago. He'll be okay."

I felt a huge wave a relief as I exhaled deeply.

"What happened to him though?"

"Some military guys found him and one of them was a little trigger happy."

Yuki looked surprised. "Military's still active?"

"My guess: Some bases are still. But unified? Not really."

"Touche."

We were silent for a few seconds before she spoke again. "You remember the first day when all this began?"

I nodded. "Yeah. It was a Friday and we were watching Apollo 13, then Mrs. Rogers dismissed the school."

Yuki gave me a look of astonishment. "How'd you remember all that."

I pointed my finger at my head and grinned. "Sharp memory."

She chuckled. "I underestimate the power of your memory."

"Freddy underestimated you when you kneed his balls." I snickered.

A chuckle escaped her lips. "Won't be making babies anytime soon."

We both laughed the way she said it. "You did get ISS that day though." I reminded her.

"Eh... Mr. Cage didn't really care all that much." She said.

"Of course he didn't I'm surprised he was still a teacher."

We both shared another laugh just thinking back to the happier times, and then Yuki gave me an evil grin.

"We were gonna watch a movie after we had the bonfire." She said.

I looked at her suspiciously. "What was the movie?"

Her grin got wider before saying the words, "Excuse me, who are you?"

My eyes widened. "Perfect Blue?! Really?! We were gonna watch that?!"

She was bawling out laughing at my reaction. Perfect Blue was one of the freakiest movies I've ever seen, Yuki, Rachel, and Emma teased me a lot about it.

"You even remember the quote!" She exclaimed still laughing.

"How could I not remember it?"

"Case, come on it wasn't that bad."

"Maybe for you," I said trying to sound mad but I failed miserably because I was laughing too. "And Rachel got more freaked out then me."

"Yeah haha she had the blanket over her face. But come on I mean It's crime and horror! It's good combination."

"Yeah well the stalker is crazy. He was just following her everywhere, giving her smiles, sneaking backstage and getting beat up and still was smiling!" I reminded her. "I mean come, man! Get a life, kiss a girl, play video games! Just leave Mima alone! Or better yet: Be famous yourself! And get some braces..."

Yuki was giggling. "Yeah he did have some crazy looking teeth. You remember his name?"

I gave her a 'Yes I remember his name' look.

"Okay! Okay! Sorry!" Yuki chuckled a little. She was silent but I could hear her try to hold in a laugh. "Excuse me, who are you?"

I sighed. "You are the worst you know that?"

After that brief chilling/funny conversation, we began to talk about more happier memories, like Rachel hitting me in the face with a ball in soccer in kindergarten, our greatest snowball fight in the world, playing Nazi Zombies, and all sorts of other stuff.

Yuki's face turned a little sad. "You think Rachel is still out there?"

I gave her an assuring smile. "My honest opinion is yeah she is."

"She was devastated when you weren't with us..." She told me.

I nodded feeling guilty of what I put my two best friends through.

"Why didn't you try to find us?"

I looked out in front of me of the forest and the dark pink sun. "Emma and I tried to get back to you, but when she... I just went into shutdown... Like I didn't really care... Does that make sense?"

Yuki nodded pulling me into a sisterly hug. "We'll see her again."

"I know.." I said smiling at the thought that it wasn't really good bye.

"Do you love Beth?" She asked.

I looked at her surprised. "Huh?

"Do you love Beth?" She repeated.

Honestly I do love her, but I kept that to myself, because she was dating Zach before they broke up and she was two years older than me.

"That silence is a yes is it?"

I nodded.

"Well she loves you, too." Yuki told me.

I looked at her bewildered. "Wait, what?"

"Based on you guys talking a lot, she loves you as well."

"We're just friends Yuki." I told her, which made her rolled her eyes at me. "Besides she and Zach broke up not to long ago."

"She broke up with him." She reminded me. "And the only one who looks down is Zach."

"Maybe it's her poker face."

Yuki snickered. "Not really, dude. She even told me that he was fun at first but got annoyed by everything he does."

"Well I can agree with that." I said.

"The point is, she's interested in you."

Was she really?

A few minutes later, I let out a big yawn feeling really tired all of a sudden. "Alright. I'm gonna hit the hay."

"Yeah, me too." She said laying down on the floor.

I chuckled. "Really? You're gonna crash out here?"

"I like the breeze." She responded with her eyes closed turning to her side.

No argument there.

"Sleep well, bud." I said.

"You too, Case." She said yawning as well.

I made my way down the stairs making my way up to my cell and feeling happy that Hershel was going to be okay. I'm gonna visit him later on in the day seeing how he's holding up and finding out what was he doing outside the walls. But first things first is getting some good rest.

I saw Maggie, and Glenn sitting at the table talking to each other from the looks of it. They both looked happy and relieved knowing that Hershel was fine. When Maggie saw me, she rushed towards me giving me a big hug silently sobbing with joy. I didn't know what to say so I just stayed silent with a small smile on my face. Glenn gave me the same look one with gratitude.

"We owe you everything, Casey." Glenn said sounding very grateful.

After Maggie was done hugging me, I said thanks and politely dismissed myself entering the block where Beth was sitting up on the stairs. Her first glance at me made her dashed her way down snaking her arms around my neck that always gave me the butterflies holding me very tight like she would never let go. What she did next I never saw coming.

She kissed me right on the lips, which send caught me completely off guard, but I didn't pull away and deepened it letting a soft moan escape her lips. Kissing Beth felt amazing. Everything around us just vanished. No Prison, no zombies, nothing except for me and her.

After for what seemed like forever we both pulled away for need of oxygen for our lungs.

"Thank you so much." Beth whispered.

"Was happy to help." Was the best answer I could think of.

Beth gently grabbed my hand. "Come with me."

We both went up the stairs and made her way into her cell, which was decorated with drawings, a couple of worn out posters, and a green lamp that wasn't on right now. She guided me towards her bed.

"Lay down." She gently ordered. I complied laying down on the bed with her soon next to me kissing a quick kiss on the lips and pulling me close into a tight welcoming embrace. "Close your eyes." She murmured giving me a soft peck on the forehead and started humming something beautifully that made my heart spark.

I need to say it to her. She needs to know.

"I love you, Beth." I whispered.

"I love you too, Casey." She cooed.

"I dunno what I did deserve you." I confessed. "I real-"

She gently brought her finger to my lips. "Shhh... kiss me."

I complied giving her a big kiss on her lips and pulling her close to me playing with her hair before both of us drifting off to sleep holding each other close.

Finally Casey and Beth are together! Now please forgive me if the romance was not all that impressive, but thats a whole new ball game for me lol. Also I wanted to point out that I do not own Perfect Blue, Nazi Zombies, Treyarch or anything like that. If I did I would buy that island in a heartbeat. Anyways thank you guys so much I hope you're enjoying the story. And Walking Dead is on tonight! WOOOOO! I really hope Bob is okay... Come on Bob!

Peace out people!

DeltaSandman out! :D
