Epilogue

"Everything. It's gonna be a long story if I tell you everything," Grace replied to Michael. Michael then just shrugged.

All of them were walking to where Ashton said he found a nice place to hang before the sun is setting. They didn't even know when exactly he went to find the place since he was always with them from morning.

"I think we have to make a turn here," Ashton pointed to his left and he sounded unsure.

"You think?" Calum asked.

"Aye, don't blame me, it was dark when I found the place," he put his hands up.

"When was it?"

"I don't know, four in the morning?" Ashton said but more like a question.

"What are you doing at four in the morning?" Calum asked in confusion. Ashton shrugged and suddenly his expression changed as they approached an abandoned building.

Just looking at it gave them creeps. Except for Ashton of course. He looked like a happy bunny.

What if there's something they didn't want to see inside the building? What if the zombies were there even though they were still in the area behind the big walls? There must be a chance where those questions might be true, right? Even if there's only a little chance that they're true.

"You guys think too much. I checked it. There's nothing inside the building. Totally empty. We should get to the top though. It's beautiful from up there," Ashton suggested as he made his way into the building. His friends soon followed. 

It was quite dark since the only lights that were available just came from the glass windows. And the sun will set soon made the building turned darker.

Ashton walked fastly to the stairs and went up until they reached the fourth floor. There was a door there and Ashton turned the knob in a swift motion and opened the door. He stepped out and finally arrived at his destination. He was so proud of himself that he found the place. It was actually the roof of the building (pic on the side).

Ashton inhaled the fresh air from his nose then exhaled through his mouth. "Feel the fresh air, guys," he said to his friends who were out of breath and some of them were on the ground didn't have any strength to stand up.

"We are feeling it, Ash, thank you," Nick spoke and he was panting.

"Don't you feel tired? You clearly aware that this is the fourth floor right?" Luke complained.

"Mhmm. Ah come on, guys, enjoy the moment," Ashton then walked away and sat on the edge of the roof looking at the 'city'.

***

They were all sitting and walking around the roof and they clearly enjoyed the moment. Somehow the exhaustion they were feeling before had lifted and all they felt was freedom.

The city was beautiful from up there. It wasn't right to call the area a city because it was actually just a little part of the actual city they were in. Ashton could see that the people down there lit up the lights because night will soon come. Oh how great it would be if he still had his family with him.

He felt a pat on his shoulders and when he looked who it was, he was a bit shocked and immediately wiped a tear that he didn't notice had fallen from his eye.

"Hey, Asht-- are you okay?" Nathalie said feeling worried.

"Shit. Uh, no, I mean yes, I'm fine," his cheeks turned bright pink as Nathalie sat down beside him. She knew something was up and she couldn't find out what it was that's bothering his mind. So she just looked at him making him more nervous.
