We drove for hours until it got late and we stopped at a house to sleep for the night. We all went in and checked but, jut like the rest of the city, it's a ghost town. Ky, Murphy, Addie and Mac all slept in the living room. Warren and Charlie shared a room and me and 10k shared a room.

"So you really think that we can have a normal life? Live together? Maybe even have some kids?" He says. I could see some hope in his eyes. "Yea. I really do. We can stay at my house with Ky. After they get all the zombies out, everything can go back to normal. We can finally be happy and not have to watch our backs" I say and smile. He smiles back but his face goes blank. A hint of disappointment in his eyes now.

"Cat...you lied to me. You said you didn't have many friends or family. Now Ky comes around and talks about all this family. Cat, why didn't you tell me the truth?" He asks. My eyes start to water and I look down. "K...you dont understand. No one does. It's all my fault" I say, the last part to myself. "No...no it's not. It's okay. You can tell me anything" he says reassuring. The tears come faster and faster and I could barely talk. "I-i killed....I killed my mom" I state quickly.

"What?" He asks me confused. I breath deeply. Trying to speak. "I-i had my dad's gun. I was shooting the zombies a-and I..." I say but I get choked up. I put my face in my knees and cry. 10k hugs me. "Shh it's okay" he whispers to me. "No. It's not okay. Sh-she could could have survived. She could have stayed with me. I COULD HAVE HELPED HER" I yell and cry. "Cat, it's not your fault. You didn't know what you were doing. It's okay I promise." He says. He hugs me tighter and I cry into his chest as he rubs my back and tells me its okay. "You still have Ky. You still have me. We will never leave you. I can promise you that" he says. I nod a d wipe my eyes.

"Thanks k." I say and smile. He smiles back and kisses me. It was a long kiss and before we knew it, our clothes were one the floor.

I'm glad I found someone who is there for me in a place like this.
