Facing The walkers.

Eleven

Henry was able to save Norman. It was nothing short of a miracle. He was so certain the boy was a goner.

Kevin was still lost and very sad. But now he was carrying on life like normal. In times like this, he had too.
They were still in the church. The pastor had left. And when he did, They got all their supplies inside and boarded everything up. That way it'd be safe for a little while longer. As it got colder outside, It got colder in the church.

Henry knew it was only a matter of time until people started getting sick. In this environment, The common cold could turn fatal in an instant. They all slept in the library there were no windows in that room and it had a fireplace, Which could keep them warm at night. They kept all of their stuff in there as well. Staying in one spot for too long was a bad idea. But they could stay there for a month if needed. Though they'd have to leave eventually. And it would be hard, Considering they'd be leaving behind a friend.

November had ended and Thanksgiving received no celebration. No one even mentioned the fact that it was Thanksgiving. No body felt thankful. It was hard to look around and feel greatful. As they all slept in the library, Some on the floor, some on the three Couches they'd moved in there, Chris and James laid awake, Talking quietly. "Do you still wanna get married?" James softly asked, holding Christopher close to him.

"Yes. But we can't." Chris softly said, closing his eyes.

"Why not?"

"What do you mean why not?"

"I mean, Why can't we get married?"

"James, look around."

"C'mon, poptarts, We can still get married."

"No we can't. Its pointless anyway. There are walkers everywhere. Whats the point of getting married when you know you are gonna be killed. Either by the Living or the dead. We are going to die... So why get married?" Chris words hit James like a hammer and stuck to him like papaer on glue. It broke his heart. Less than a month ago, This little blonde was hoping around their apartment with Conner, singing showtunes at full blast. He seemed so full of life...

James thought for as second. Conner. Conner had been just as excited about living as Chris was.... And Conner was dead.... He was starting to understand what Chris meant. Life was totally unpredictable now. They could get bit or shot or stabbed or sick at anytime. And at that time exactly Chris Sneezed. It was a cute little sneeze, high pitched and small.

Every winter, Chris caught a cold. At the beginning of December. It always happened. And That cold could get pretty bad. He even caught it when they were in Uganda. It was only a small cold. But when they got home, Chris's colds got worse. For the passed three year, they had been horrible. James was very worried about that this year. He'd been dreading it. But there was no hiding now. That cute little Sneeze marked the beginning of Chris's cold season. And he prayed no one else caught it. And he prayed that Chris would be okay.

The next morning, Henry got Norman and Oliver up, Check on how they were doing. Olly was still very weak for getting hit by that police car. He still got very dizzy at random moments and nearly lost consciousness. The doctor figured he probably had a very sever Concussion. He woke him up, Several times a night to make sure his pupils weren't dilated. Usually, they were. This made it hard for Olliver to focus or think straight. He was always very tired. Henry gave him some medicine to help, But it wasn't very strong. He still got really bad headaches.

He literally would lie of on the floor and just cradle his head in his hands. Naba sat with him most of the time, gently messaging his temples as he lye there.

He climbed on the couch one day, And snuggled up in her arms, closing his eyes and whimpering softly. "Oh sweetie..." Naba softly said, Placing and gentle kiss on his head. Arnold had been spending a ton more time with Kevin. He was very worried about his friend. "Hey best friend." He smiled as he sat beside his friend just outside the church. "Hi Arn." Kevin said. Kaylee was playing with Amberly in the dirt just outside the building. Kevin wasn't about to leave them alone.
