Chapter 3: Actions and suffering

TW: Mentions of Suicide attempts, Domestic Abuse, And Death.

Jaxs POV:
The first night was exhausting. I only got like 3 hours of sleep. Although I'm pretty wide awake.
I gotten up and dressed and showered. I'm surprised this place has water and power still.
I headed down stairs and we ate some oatmeal with dried peaches. Better then prison food to be honest.
Then we were gathered outside for the daily chores or helping.

"Listen up everyone!" Jace said gathering everyone
"Jenny and PT9 I need y'all to get more firewood, Johnny you are doing the same thing you were doing, yesterday, look around for stuff that we may need. Iris, Roger and Jax, you are going to check the fishing net trap and also I want y'all to teach Jax how to build one. Pascal, me and you are staying here keeping a guard."
"Got it" everyone said
Then everyone split up, Iris, Roger and Jax head down to the river
"Now Roger, please be careful with the gun. Don't be shooting it like crazy!" Iris said to him, hitting him in the back of the head
"Aunt Iris, you know I wouldn't."
"Let's not forget yesterdays incident-"
"I KNOW OKAY?" He stormed off to the other side of the river

Iris and Jax headed to the nets
"Ooh we got a good amount of fish! Put it in the cooler" Iris said to Jax
Jax grabbed the cooler and Iris looks in the pockets for a knife
"Oh crap. I forgot the knife.." Iris said
"Don't worry, I got one here." Jax said, giving the knife to Iris
"Wow thank you. And thank you for giving it to me by the handle. I can tell you were raised good."
"Ha.. thank you, Iris. Although I was raised by foster parents.."
"Oh? What happened?"
"My mom and dad were 15 and 16 when they had me and well I was giving up for adoption. They wanted to raise me but none of their parents allowed it. Honestly I would love to see my parents again.. my biological ones. Not my foster ones. My foster parents I went through were hell."
"Oh darling.. I can imagine that.. I was in the same boat as you were for a while." Iris said as she cut open the net
"Alright you see those yarn and twigs? Hand me those and I'll show you how to tie them."
Jax hands the yarn and twigs
"Alright you get the twig and wrap yarn around it and then attach it to the places we just cut. Simple!"
"Thank you, Iris.. hey May I ask.. what's wrong or up with Roger?"
"Oh Roger? Well.. before the dead started to rise.. He was 16 when this happened and this was years ago. He's 24 now,  his father and mother, my sister.  had a bad relationship issues since he was a teen and then things got very violent where to the point my sister needed to get away. No one believed her that she was being abused. I believed her and others did as well.. but one night things got too violent and my sister was in a coma, Roger gotten mad and then Roger and his father got into an argument and well Roger shot and killed him. Roger felt guilty but he was defending himself and his mother.. unfortunately 3 years after the death of the father, my sister got stage 4 cancer and didn't have much time to live and she told Roger to live with me despite him being 19, I allowed it cause Roger was going through enough and then a week later, she passed away peacefully by us.. Roger was depressed and well.. almost had those.. thoughts if you know what I mean but thankfully he didn't.. and honestly I'm glad he's doing okay sorta.."

Jax POV
Hearing that story was emotional to me. Roger had it harder then I did. I felt bad for him a lot more.. I honestly thought he was a asshole but turns out he's still.. In that depressive state and all.

"WHOA HEY! HELP!" Roger exclaimed out loud
Roger is started to get surrounded by walkers and he's shooting them
"ROGER!" Iris and Jax run to him and stabbed some of the walkers
"AHH! We need to split up!" Iris said
"Good thinking! Let's split up and meet at the cabin!" Roger exclaimed
Once the path was sorta cleared,
Roger went one way and Iris and Jax went the other
While running
Jax still saw Iris getting chased by the walkers
"ARGH!" Iris yelled as she fell
"Iris!!" Jax yelled and rushed to her and killed the walkers with the knife they had
Jax is panting and panting
"Ugh.. are... you.. okay..? Oh my god!" Jax said out loud looking at Iris's leg
"Oh no.. no no no no..!"
The leg was bitten by the Walker
"No no no no.." Iris said with tears
"Iris.. I'm sorry.."
"Darling it's fine.. I guess the time said for me to go anyway.. please.. tell Roger I loved him and keep on eye on him please.." Iris said looking at Jax
"I will.." Jax said as they began to walk
"Iris wait please..!"
"What is it..?"
Iris grabs a gun she had and hands it to Jax
"Please.. out of my misery.. I don't wanna end up like them.."

Jax POV
Hearing that gave me a flashback when I killed Sadie out of her misery.. I know I had to make the right choice and well..

Jax grabs the gun and shoots Iris

I shoot her.. I know if I didn't then I would or maybe regret it.

Jax then ran to the cabin and into the kitchen where Everyone was at
"Jax?! Is everything okay?!" Pascal asked
"We heard the walkers chased y'all!" Johnny said
Everyone started to asked Jax a some questions

With all of these talks and all.. it was anxious. I knew I needed to tell what happened

"Well.. like Johnny said, we were chased by the walkers and Me, Iris, Roger split.. while running I said Iris getting chased by two of them and well.. the horror I saw.. Iris got bit and attacked.. I was shocked and.. Iris asked me to shoot her and I didn't want too but I know if I didn't then she'll still be in the misery.. she needed me too and well.. I shoot her.. Roger.. she is gone.. I'm sorry."
Roger eyes were widen and his jaw dropped and took a few steps back
"She's... gone too..." Roger said twice.
"Roger.. I'm sorry-" Jenny tried to hug him but Roger shoved her
"No one talk to me please... I had to shoot my dad and then my mom died and now my aunt died cause of these STUPID WALKERS! Jax I appreciate you for trying to save her.. thank you.. but I need my space.." Roger said going upstairs and slamming the door

Jax POV
It was sad to see him like this.. I wanted to follow him but I didn't.. I felt bad for him.. when it came dinner time, we had fish, some ramen and peaches, I tried to give him the food but, he refused and said he wasn't hungry.
I sat up on the roof for the night with Jace, Jenny, and Pascal. We were looking at the stars

"Well.. the winter is starting to come soon and we need to head north." Jace said as they took a puff of their cigarette
"Yeah we need too but we need to avoid Mason and Loki.." Pascal said, feeling his baby bump
"What's up at north?" Jax said
"A shelter like city. It's Charlington. They are still taking survivors and we need to head there.." Jenny looked at the sky while saying that.
"How far is it?" Jax asked
"30 miles." Pascal answered
"Well tomorrows.. another day and we need to prepare for tomorrow." Jace got up
"It's winter time and we need to be prepared."
Everyone got up and opened the door to head inside

Jax POV:
Jace was right. Winter is coming and we need to find another shelter.. yes a cabins good but with a baby on the way and we may find more survivors.. we needed to get out and find another place but avoid Mason.
