"I feel you man. I couldn't kill my girlfriend well fiancé. We where actually about to married that day." I say. They all look at me to continue.
I sigh and continue, "I also agree with Riley. I saw all of you including you Nate." I say. And I start my story.
*flashback*
I'm in the back of the car getting ready for my wedding. My alarm never went off  causing me to wake up late. As putting everything on I see a boy sitting on a bench, a girl sitting under a tree a group of friends walking down the street, and another boy walking up the stairs to his porch all around eighteen to nineteen. These kids have a bright future I can tell you that much. Ok ok focus James! Wedding time! As I pull open the doors to the church everyone's heads turn to look at me. I turn my attention to Aj at the other end of the aisle. Oh shit I think I'm in trouble.
"I'm sorry my alarm didn't go off." She just nods and smiles.

As the ceremony was almost over we hear screams outside the church doors. I walk down the aisle and open the doors I see a little girl eating a grown man. I close and lock the doors.
"We need to get out of here. Aj let's go" I tell her. As I put my hand on her shoulder I see she's become one of those creatures.
"No." I whisper. "No no no no! Aj!" I yell. I run out the back entrance and all the way home.
When I run through door I run to mine and Ajs room. I grab my gun out of the safe walk back down the stairs grab my keys. Before I walk out of the door though I take one last glance at everything. I look at the pictures the memories that we shared. The dates, the kisses, and that day I asked her to marry me. I smile as my eyes brim with tears and leave the house locking it although I know I won't be home anytime soon.
*flashback over*
I look up only to see everyone almost in tears. I hear Nate sigh beside me and says.
"Wow. On your wedding day that must've been hard."
I nod and I ask.
"What's your story Nate?" He looks up at me confused.
"My story?" I nod.
"I don't have one." He looks at me sadly.
"You have to have a story." Laney tells him.
"I mean I do but it's just.... It's just I can't tell it." He says. I look at him sadly.
"Come on. Tell it'll be easier than keeping it in and beating yourself up about it." Carson speaks up.
"Yeah come on Nate. Tell us." Riley says.
"Ok I guess." And with that he begins.
