We neared the exit of the graveyard on a cold winter day. Ellis, Nick, Rochelle, Coach, and I. We were told there was an evac location across this huge bridge, and that we would ultimately be safe over there. But that very clearly isn't the case. The military was bombing everywhere, clear that they weren't looking for survivors anymore.

"Can they seriously stop fucking bombing us?!" Nick said frustratedly.

"For real!" I said, nodding and smiling. Oh the wonders of a fake smile. It definitely lightens the mood, especially when Ellis is having a hard time. It even helps Nick. Well... I would say unexpected but Nick and I are pretty good friends. He teases me a lot but I know his soft side is nicer then I could ever be.

"You alright?" Nick asked, standing in front of me. I realized I had stopped walking and the group was further ahead of us.

"Yeah.." I said, smiling and taking a step forward. Nick stopped me by giving me a big hug. I didn't have a crush on him or anything, but his hugs were so comforting. He was bigger than I was, pretty much engulfing me with his body when we hugged.

"I know you're lying to me, but I won't make you spill. Please let me know if I can help." He said sweetly. I nodded, looking around for the group. I didn't see them anywhere, so we went ahead and walked through a big, metal arch, showing the exit of the cemetery.

"Well shit. Where the fuck did they go?" I asked, looking at Nick. He looked at me with a big grin on his face, bending his knees to match my height, and pointing toward a door. More specifically a safe house door.

"Right there sweetheart." Nick said, laughing. I nudged his elbow giggling. We walked to the safe house and entered slowly, making sure not to wake anyone who might have fallen asleep.

"Welcome back y'all!" Ellis exclaimed happily.

"Thank you Ellis." I said smiling sweetly. We all gathered together and sat in a circle in the living room of the house. It was kind of a tradition we had, every safe house where we were gonna sleep, we would sit in a circle, if the room was big enough, and we would talk. Coach and Rochelle would agree on a topic, and we'd all just talk about it.

"So, today's topic is pets!" Rochelle stated happily. I felt a smile grow on my face as I remembered my dear old pets. "N/n, why don't you go first?" Rochelle asked.

"Sure! Well.. my first pets I can remember were 3 cats named Pokey Joe, Punkin or Pikah, and JC, short for Jail Cat. My first dogs were Levi, Zoe, and Gizmoe. My most recent pets were two cats named Spaz and Quincey; my dogs were Brinks, Zoe, Levi, Bear Bear, and Wayne." I explained, thinking about my lovely pets. Oh how I missed them.

"That's a lot a animals girley." Ellis said laughing. I agreed, and we continued to talk. It was fun. I forgot about the apocalypse and all the other bad shit that was going on, that was until there was another bomb. I could feel tears well up in my eyes.

"Damn. We should go to bed y'all." Rochelle said, sending everyone different ways. I went to my room, and sat on the bed in silence. I felt a tear run down my face. I quickly wiped it away and took a deep breath. I had this. I could keep it together. It was hard being so sad and pessimistic during a fucking zombie apocolypse. Knowing how easy it was to die so quickly and randomly.

"Knock knock sweety." I heard Ellis say at my door. I quickly got up to open it for him. Oh Ellis.. he was adorable and I had liked him for the longest time. He walked to the edge of my bed and hesitated for a second.

"Can I sit here?" He asked, looking at me.

"Of course!" I said, him sitting. I sat next to him, wanting to put my head on his shoulder, but I resisted. "So.. what's up Ellis?" I asked, turning my head to him. He looked back at me, looking sad.

"Well... you've seemed kin'a off lately, so I wanted 'a ask what's wrong." He said, looking into my eyes. I immediately teared up and let out a heavy breath. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Instead of talking, I bursted into sobs, my hands covering my face. Ellis stood up, hugged me, and lifted me up so that he could lay on my bed. He set me on his waist, and took my hands off my face. I looked at him, and he patted his chest to let me know I could hug him. I absolutely fell onto him and squeezed the shit out of him, sobbing into his shirt. He ran his hands through my hair and rubbed circles on my back.

"It's ok n/n, I'm right here." He cooed to me.

"I-I'm so s-sorry.." I replied. I feel to bad for making him deal with me.

"Don't apologize gurl. I'm here for you. Don't worry about it." Ellis assured. Just him talking calmed me down.. a lot. His accent, his soft voice, the kindness in his words.... Just everything.

"E-Ellis.." I said questioningly. He hummed in response. "Can you tell me about one o-of you and K-Keith's stories?" I asked needily.

"Of course n/n." Ellis responded, following with him rambling about the time him and Keith made bumper cars out of lawn mowers. "I di'nnit run 'em over either, he somehow managed to flip 'uner his own." Ellis explained.

~ Ellis's POV ~

"I di'nnit run 'em over either, he somehow managed to flip 'uner his own." I finished explaining to y/n. I looked down at her and her eyes were closed, her breathing slowed. She was adorable. I had a crush on her for a while, but I was too scared to tell her. Nick always told me to shoot my shot, but I was still concerned. Who knows, maybe I'll tell her soon. I placed a kiss on her forehead and fell asleep.

~ The next morning, y/n POV ~

I opened my eyes to see Ellis looking back at me.

"Good morning n/n." He said smiling.

"Good morning Ellis." I replied, smiling like a dumbass. I rolled off of him and layed next to him. He placed his hand right next to mine teasingly. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

"Cmon n/n, lets go see who else is awake." He said, sitting up.

"Pshhhh okayyyy.. " I dragged out, standing up and opening the door. Ellis rushed up to me and held my hand as we walked out of the room. Everyone was in the living room talking.

"Well well, what happened with you two last night?" Nick said, raising an eyebrow.

"Nick!!" I squealed. He knew that would get a reaction out of me.

"Nah, if we did that, nobody woul'da been able to sleep." Ellis said, smirking. My face was bright fucking red!!

"Oh cmon ya'llllll.... We just talked!! That's it!" I giggled out.

"She's right. All we did was talk and sleep." Ellis confirmed, nodding his head. Nick laughed and stood up, picking up a gun.

"Well, lets get going." Nick said smiling.
