"Mathis, you mean his twin? Medias twin brother, Mathis?" Nath asked and I noticed everyone tensed up, as I looked around. I didn't because I'm not worried about their drama, I'm only worried about her. Except I'd feel if she's hurt or something, but I think she's fine. Won't be for much longer.. we have to move out now.

"What other guy would have a stupid name like that?" Eric snapped at Nath and Cap got defensive about it.

"What guy would throw away a diamond for a rock?" He snapped back. I just got inbetween them and shook my head.

"Stop, this isn't going to fucking help at all. We're losing them." It's about a days trip to Mathis' camp. This isn't going to be easy at all.

"We should leave him here if he wants to be a little bïtch." Cap said coolly while smirking at him. I just clapped my hands, rubbed them together, and pushed them back from each other. Don't question why I did this, it's just habit.

"Well maybe-" Eric started, but I cut him off.

"Well maybe both of you should stop acting like little babies. We have a day trip ahead of us. I cannot lose her, I'm not losing Paige. You guys can't take it out on the guys at their camp. We're a damn team. So shut up and put up with it." I stopped then looked at Eric. I was a bit taller than him. I'm 6'2, which wasn't so bad. He looked 5'7, short.

"I may not like you one bit, and I may have graduated with you, but lord knows if I let you die she wouldn't be too well with me now. Take this as a thing I'm not only doing for her, but for me. If she didn't give a damn about you, I'd have Cap put a fücking bullet in your head. Got it?" I held my gun up to his chin, and looked him in the eyes. Giving him a cold glare, and I saw how he twitched.

"As for you Cap? Keep a eye on him. He does something wrong, you shoot him." I demand and Cap just lights a cigarette. Having the simple look of a insane person, but thing is we're all crazy.

Just different types.

"Pleased to do so, kid." He laughed and we walked on. Oh why do I have a bad feeling about this whole thing. I can't seem to shake it off, either. It's like the pit of my stomach is forgetting something but I don't know what.

I couldn't stop looking at the sky. She couldn't be far, I couldn't even find prints or a single trace of anyone. The sky was setting so we won't be safe for long, at dark it's harder to do stuff and travel since we can't really use fire. This would be absolute hell for all of us in the end.

"Let's head out, but move fast. Sun is going down and it's going to get more dangerous." I said and we started to all walk faster than usual. I need to get to her before he does. He takes a liking to girls like her. I mean who wouldn't but this is different. I swear to God if anyone lays a hand on her or touches her anyway, I will personally make sure they will never be able to touch anything ever again.

"She doesn't look the same." Eric said to me and Cap. I just sighed and shook my head. When will he ever stop? She isn't doing so well lately, like dude, leave her alone. You gave her bad anxiety, she doesn't need this.

"She cut her hair and wears makeup now." I laughed softy. Oh my God was she ever so beautiful no matter what. Especially when she had no makeup on and wasn't paying attention at all. It's weird how someone can just make you happy and give you a reason to live. She's my reason to get up every morning and try to survive and help her stay alive. Maybe I should find something else but right now, nothing matters more to me than she does.

"Why? I mean I saw it but why also dye her hair?" He asked and I stopped, just to look at him I'm the eye.

"You ruined her. You left her when she had no one else, I couldn't even be there or it'd be worse. So when you stepped down, I stepped up. I fücking protected her from her worst nightmare." I practically screamed at him. Then continued to walk as if nothing happened.

"What was her worst nightmare then?" Cap asked and I shook my head again.

"Herself." I whispered and walked faster so I can be alone.

She'll be alive, I know it. I estimate they're about two hours ahead of us, which can be easy to catch up. We could've used the vehicles but they'd attract more dead. And raiders would also try to attack. I mean we're strong but we're still weak.

I must see her one last time. At least this time, I'd at least let her know how I'll feel. I don't want to die a Goddamn wimp, not this lifetime. Hey beautiful brown eyes and well now silver hair. She has nice eyebrows, they were thick and not fake like most of the girls who over did it at my old school. We all wanted a place to escape school and thought school was the worst place but God knows this reality now? Is Hell, complete Hell.

If there's one thing I know, is that we never go on main roads, just dirt. Back roads because if it's main then we have a chance of getting stuck since there's always cars in the way. Sometimes with little kids or stuff that belonged to a few which makes me especially upset. I'm a sensitive guy, I show emotions. Things like that can really hurt someone if they chose to, or meant to in the end.

We kept walking for a few hours, then I notice a few members started to slow down. It had to be about midnight, when we stopped. Middle of a field, like one of those yellow flower field looking things. Like the prairie style places, if anyone knows what I mean.

"Hey guys, let's rest here. Take turns sleeping. We're going to pack up once everyone has a chance to rest." I stopped to look back at them. It wasn't a cloudy night nor cold. It was just warm summer night, even though normally it's supposed to be cold.

"Women and weak rest first." Cap said and I shook my head. Ryder just laughed and laid out her jacket, to lay on top and just sleep. Same with Nath, Eric, and Vic. I mean I'm pretty sure two of us can take care of all but we can all have a chance equally sort of.

"Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way." The ones who are up laughed along with myself. Our friendships is more like a family who threaten to kill each other once in awhile, but what family doesn't?

Wherever she is, I hope she's safe. If not, I will let Hell loose and destroy anyone who took part in her getting hurt. No one will live if they ever touch my best friend. The love of my life will be okay. She's going to be okay, Paige is okay..

I won't rest until she's in my arms. I absolutely refuse to rest until I see her smile one time.
