"Alright let's move!" Henry shouted and they did as he said but suddenly an infected jumped at Sam from the side, knocking him down to the ground. Henry turned around seeing it so he ran up to him but before he could do anything Joel already shot him.
"Sam you okay?!" Henry asked picking him up.
"I'm okay."
"You sure?!"
"I said I'm okay!" Sam snapped and Henry decided to let it go, dragging him to the house where Joel was and Makayla was already through the door.
They ran upstairs and into the room. More infected started running from the street and Joel was shooting them one by one but it started to get crowded.
"Alright I think it's time we quit this place c'mon." Joel threw the sniper at the ground and they all ran out of the back. There was a hole in the fence so they managed to get through leaving the infected behind.
...
Henry was right.
The place was full of supplies, food, ammo and running water so all of them could finally take a proper shower.
"Shut the hell up." Henry laughed.
"I'm dead serious." Joel demanded and both their heads turned to the side just to see Makayla stepping out of the bathroom. This was the first time she had hear hair down and they couldn't help but admire.

All the others already showered so she closed the door and went to sit on a mattress next to Joel. Henry was sitting on a larger pillow across them.
"Where's Sam?"
"He said he wanted to be alone." Henry said and she nodded, not questioning it.
Henry then looked back at Joel, "So what was it like?"
Joel's corner of the mouth curled up into a faint smirk before answering, "Good. It was real good."
"Oh c'mon man! Give me details!" Henry hid his face into his palms making Joel let out a low chuckle.
"I could die happy If I could just ride one around the block." Henry sighed.
"Oh you guys are talking about- oh. I got scared for a second." Makayla laughed making them chuckle and shake their heads.
Her eyes focused on Joel. For probably the first time in forever he seemed to be relaxed.
They continued to talk for another hour but Makayla wasn't joining the conversation anymore. She was slowly falling asleep. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing steadily.
"Oh man someone's tired." Henry whispered, laughing quietly and Joel followed his gaze only to see Makayla sitting next to him already asleep.
"We should rest too. I bet Sam's already asleep." Henry stood up and left the room.
Joel's eyes stayed on Makayla as he head slowly fell to the side and rested against his arm.
He inhaled sharply, tensing at the closeness at first before allowing himself to move back a little so she was resting on his chest instead of his arm.
...
Makayla's eyes shot open when she heard voices. She sat up on the mattress still half asleep only to see Henry and Joel up already.
Henry was preparing some food while Joel was standing near a window.
Makayla ruffled her hair and stood up with a frown since she didn't even remember falling asleep.
"Good mornin'." Joel spoke in a low voice.
"Hey." She stepped closer looking at the food Henry was making before she left to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
When she stepped out Henry suddenly called out, "Makayla could you wake Sam up please?"
"Sure." She said and turned around, heading to the other room. She stepped inside and froze when she saw Sam standing up with his back facing her.
"Sam.." She spoke quietly and took a step closer but when she heard that familiar growling she knew what was happening.
She stepped back into the room with Joel and Henry as they became suspicious and suddenly Sam jumped at Makayla. They fell to the ground and she tried to keep his head as far from her neck as possible.
"Shit he's turnin'!" Joel shouted aiming his gun at Sam but Henry shot into the air, making Joel look at him.
"That's my fucking brother!"
Joel was breathing hard and looked back at Makayla who was still restraining Sam.
"Screw it." He muttered aiming the gun at Sam's head again but just before he could put a bullet in his head Henry shot his little brother.
Sam's body fell on top of Makayla as she threw him off of her and moved closer to Joel.
"Are you alright?" Joel kneeled next to her and she nodded before she looked at Henry with a terrified expression, "Oh no.."
Tears were streaming down his face. He was looking at Sam and mumbling something under his breath.
"Henry." Joel spoke, trying to get closer to him to get the gun out of his hands.
"Sam.." Henry cried.
"Henry. I'm gonna get that gun from you okay?" Joel took another step closer with his arms in the air.
Henry was breathing heavily still looking at Sam and suddenly he aimed the gun at his head and shot himself dead.
Both Makayla and Joel flinched at the sound and now they stood in a room with two dead bodies.

Makayla looked at Joel.
"Oh God." He mumbled before looking at her too, "Grab your stuff. We gotta move."
