Lauren remembers the day clearly. The worst walker she's ever seen. It was he brother. She remembers how he grabbed her by her neck and pulled her close. She screamed. He almost bit her neck when her dad shot him in the head with tears falling slowly down his cheeks. Lauren sobbed. Her brother. Dead. Gone. Forever.
Now Lauren looked out her window with her hair covering her eyes so slightly. Someone is here that's not supposed to be. She thought. Lauren heard gunshots and some screaming. She ran downstairs with her gun pointing at a new face. He was nice looking but it didn't matter. He could've killed her mom for all she knows. "I-I-I." He mutters.

Mike already saw his mom die. He was 6 when it happened. He then saw his father die from a walker bite many years later. He couldn't help but to cry. He had to be strong for his brother. His brother was older but more sensitive. When he told his brother he was heartbroken. Him and his dad were close. His brothers name was Greg. After breaking the news, Greg ran off. He was never seen again. Mike came across another group. They helped him. One time they can across another group of people. They were walking towards the group when they started shooting. Mike ran off into the house and covered his head. He looks down for 3 seconds and when he looks back up a cute girl has a gun pointed to his head. He didn't know what to say or how to act. His life was actually on the line. He made eye contact with her. Say something. He thinks. "I-I-I" She glares at him. "Shut it" Lauren says. People fill the room. Some from his side and some from hers. They negotiate saying things like "We all can work together." And "We'll be stronger together." eventually they end up shaking hands. Lauren's mom walked up to her. "Honey, tonight we will be having dinner all together. Is that okay, dear?" She says in a sweet tone. "Yes, mother." Lauren replies. She smiles a little and her mother smiles back. Lauren's sister runs up to her and whispers in her ear "He's cute." "Tracy!" Lauren groans. Tracy winks and skips off. Lauren turns her attention back in the boy. He smiles. "I'm Mike. He says. "I'm Lauren." She says. They smile at each other and Lauren can feel her cheeks get hot. "I-I have to sleep in your room." Mike says blushing a little. "That's okay. I have a window bed thing." Lauren says smiling. They talk the whole night about their back stories and everything. After a while, she went by her window bed to sleep. For the first time since the apocalypse started, they went to sleep smiling.

A/N: Yes it's very short but it's something. The picture is Lauren and Mike. Also there might be some gross detail in the next chapter but I'm not sure. I am sure that someone will die. It won't be a Maine character so don't worry lol. Anyways I hope you enjoyed it and whatever.
