Ember's POV

Ever since me and Hayes split, life has been great. We're still friends so. Me and Cameron are great. He treats me like an angel. Every now and then him and Hayes will get in a few arguments and me being a good girlfriend and friend I help settle it. Kinda ridiculous. Anyways The Zone is perfectly fine. Other than walkers trying to get in. I had just woke up and took a shower and got dressed and walked outside. "Hey Hayes have you seen Cameron?" He sighed and looked at me. "No I haven't. Why?" I just looked up at him. I haven't seen Cameron in two days. I turned around and began walking towards Cameron's house. "Cam? Baby?" I heard a groan and I automatically brought my knife up. I heard shuffling and just as I suspected... Cameron was dead. I broke down into tears. "No baby. No please Cameron." I pushed him back as he came closer. I knocked him to the ground and shoved my knife in his head over and over again. I heard more groans... The Zone had been invaded and there are too many to fight....

Two Hours Later

We all left. Cameron is dead. My... brother Mingus is dead... I couldn't take it. The minute I saw Cameron dead I couldn't take it, but my brother no. Hayes was there for me. When I found my brother tearing into my father. Who was trying to save my life
Flashback 4 hours ago
I ran and ran away from Cameron's house. Me being clumsy I tripped and I fell. I heard a groan and I looked up. No. Not him. No. Mingus. I saw my dad running toward me. "Em! Move go!" I was frozen in my tracks. I just looked forward as my brother came closer and closer. His cold, dead eyes approaching me. The growls and moans coming closer. I felt hands on my waist as I'm pushed away. The only thing I could hear in that moment... was my father's screams. "No! Daddy! No... please don't leave me. Please don't go. I just got you back!" Mingus kept tearing open our father's stomach and growled. "Em-ember. Take care... ta-tak-take care of your-yourself. Don't let your-you-yourself go... Be strong princess. I... I love.. i love you." And with that he was gone.

Present time. Ember's POV

Hayes just held me as the memories of my father and brother kept replaying in my head. Cameron's death was hard but... my family's no. I still have Adrien. I just want my dad to run to whenever I'm heartbroken or getting married or having kids. No. The world took them from me... and now I'm never getting them back. Ever. I kept hearing people ask if I'm ok but I ignored them. We are about 5 miles away from The Zone and I have no idea where we are going. I think out towards the ocean. I don't know. I can't think or see straight. "Ember don't let yourself go..." That sentence kept replaying in my head. I'm trying to stay strong dad... but i don't know if I can anymore... nothing good ever stays in my life. I'm sorry if I fail you daddy. I kept saying that over and over silently while crying myself to sleep in Hayes's arms.


Author's Note
Well hello there! I am back!!! Yay. Sorry it took so long I've had some writer's block.😭 but now I'm back... with a sad chapter. So Norman and Mingus are gone.💔😭 I'm sorry. But it's gonna move the story along. Ember might let herself go. Who knows... oh wait I do! *insert evil laugh here* I may possibly bring Hayes and Ember back together. 😏😉 anyways.
School sucks. The only reason I go is to see friends😂😂. Also, I am probably gonna start a YouTube channel this summer I don't know yet. And this summer I'm dying a piece of my hair, a big piece, do The purple, blue, pink, or just white. Along with getting my lip pierced and my industrial bar done hopefully before school ends. So yay! And I'm losing weight so! ❤❤❤
Sorry I had to write that😂. So stay tuned for a new chapter coming very soon to see where they end up and who will die and who will live. So PEACE! (👈#DolanTwins AF)
