The door opens and the quiet guy walked into the threshold. He walked up to the table that we were all standing by and placed two grocery bags right on it. I looked at the stuff inside before I looked at him. "Thanks mate." "No problem," he says with an emotionless expression before he turned, walking out of the room. "Alright, we have juice, pads, carrots, and salami. This will be used while we are on our search tomorrow. We need as much as we can get for how long we will be out there," Ed told everyone and I nodded. "Do you think it's safe to bring that guy with us though?" Shiro asks.

I looked at her and tilted my head. "Why shouldn't we? Nobody will ever last on their own. Us in pairs could last sure, but only for a limited time. He is also a pretty nice fighter against those things out there. We need him just like how we need everyone else in this room. This is a serious no man left behind situation, and we are not leaving him behind," I said and Ed added in, "I don't know about you, but that guy has saved my ass almost 5 times. Im not going to just sitch him like an old toy."

"Fine...but when do you think that he's going to open up to us?" "That isn't up to us. It's up to him if he wants to talk to us or not. We don't know what he went through, but something tells me that it was something rather traumatic since he is so quiet and emotionless," Ed said and we took a glance at the door to see his back against it. "He is going to get through it though. He's strong like that," I said and everyone looked at me.

"How do you know that?" "I don't know. I just know that there will be a time where he is able to tell his story and he will be able to move on from that dark point in his life." Ed looked at me funny, but I didn't care. I walked to the door, tapper on it, watched him move off to the side, and stepped into the same room as him. "I really don't need to be defended like you did in there..." "Yeah you do. I don't stand for people who talk shit anyways or people who just say dumb shit," I tell him and lean on a wall.

"So we are leaving in the morning?" He asks and I nod my head. "It won't take long to find survivors, but when we do, then I'll tell you." "Tell us what?" I asked and ll he did was look at me then down at his hand. "My story," he said before walking away from me. "Can't wait to hear it, but know this..." He stops and turns to look at me.

"No matter what your story is or no matter what you are going through, you can always come to me. I will always be there for you, and we are in this together, okay mate?" I asked and he looked at me before giving me a small smile while nodding his head. I nodded back at him before we both went to our respective rooms.

I walked into a room that I shared with my boyfriend and I just looked out of the small room that we had in there.

I started to get ready for bed and when I was in my sleeping bag, I heard the door open. I turned and saw Ed walking in. "Hey...what was all of that back there?" He asked. I shrugged, "I don't like it when people attack someone who obviously doesn't deserve it. He went through something tragic and he's just not ready to share it. He told me that if we do find survivors, then he will tell us who he is and how he got here."
