P.O.V. Adelaide.
*3 months later*
Ever since that night Jack and I had been distant. We both didn't talk to eachother scared to say the wrong thing.

"How far 'till the next town." I ask Mark who's sitting next to me with a map.

"Not too long." He says. I nod. He looks back. Everyone's asleep.

"So, what's going on between you and Jack?" I look at his peacfull sleeping face through the mirror.

"I can trust you right?" I ask him he nods.

"We had sex that first night after the camp and we just became really distant." I explain.

"You what!?" He asks.

"Ssh." I say. He chuckles.

"He'll come around, don't worry." Mark says. I smile. Soon we arrive at the town.

"Look at that mall." I say.

"Now isn't the time to shop." Mark says. I punch him playfully against his shoulder.

"If I can get the backup generator started we can stay here." I say. Mark smiles.

"Let's check if we've got some friends in there." Mark says. I nod and we get out. We walk up to the big building and I bang on it with my bat. Nothing happens. I look inside.

"It looks abandoned." I say. I hear some growls but they're not from inside.

"What the?" Mark says. I walk a few steps back and my eyes fall on the parking garage. I walk towards it. I walk down the small hill and stop at a save distance from the gate that separates Mark and I from the death.

"There are like 50 of 'em down there." Mark says.

"We can pop 'em through the gate." I say. Mark nods.

"Beter get started then." He says. I take my hunters knife and start to help Mark with taking them out. Around the morning we're finally done.

"3104." I say. I walk up the hill and see the first people get out of the car.

"Rise and shine." I say. I take a water bottle and drink out of it before passing it to Mark.

"Jesus, what did you do?" Jack asks. His eyes lock with mine.

"We took out some pups." I say. A small smile forms his lips as he looks at me. I quickly smile back.

"Yeah so let's get in." Mark says. We all walk towards the door.

"May I?" I ask Jack referring to his crowbar. He hands it to me and I start to wriggle the door, soon it opens and we walk in.

"I'm gonna search for the generator, you guys, make sure it's safe." I say and head off. I get to the security room where I soon find the generator. I start it up and smile as I see the light. I check the camera's to see how everyone's doing. My smile fades when I see Mark and Amy. A few people are pointing guns at them.

"Shit." I say. I quickly get outside and spot them soon. I take my sniper and point it at one of them. I shoot him and then quickly shoot the other guy. Amy and Mark look down and I just simply walk to where my mind tells me to go. I walk up the stair and find Jack. I go to turn around but Jack's voice stops me.

"I'm sorry." He says. I sigh.

"For what?" I ask. He walks closer to me.

"For... you know... and then not talking to you, I just...I didn't know what to say, that was the best night of my live." He says. I smile.

"I'm sorry too." I say. He smiles.

"So we're good?" He asks. I nod.

"We are." I say smiling and walk past him I walk past a music shop and go in. I spot a turntable (is that what they're called?) and let my hand slide over it. I walk through the shop and spot the vinyl plates I was searching. I take one of metallica and listen to the songs. After a few songs I change it to a Elvis one and I can't help falling in love with you starts playing. I softly swing along with the music until I feel someone wrap his arms around me.

"I can't help falling in love with you." Jack's rough voice sings in my ear. I lean back against his body. We slowly swing to the music. After the song I turn around and hug him. He grabs my hand and pulls me outside.

"Upstairs is safe." He says and pulls me to a small shop. Inside are all kinds of beds. He kisses me and I kiss back. We walk backwards and I fall onto the bed. He hovers over me and soon all our clothes are off. I smile and kiss him again.

"I love you." He whispers. I smile.

"I love you too."
