-------------------------------------------------

[Paytons POV]

*** 2 weeks later ***

I rose from my bed slowly and already my cheeks were wet with tears. I stared down at my body and growled, like I was expecting something to be different, to have changed.

I've been in this house for 2 weeks now and I'll admit, I love it here. I love to spend my mornings with the children, as I was a primary school teacher before this whole apocalypse began, I teach the children Maths, English, Science for 40 minutes each subject and then for the last 40 minutes is a subject of the childrens choice whether it be art, Pe or what-not.

But today was different, today I didn't want to play happy families, cause I wasn't happy.

Ever since me and Charlotte got here she has been spending every waking and sleeping moment with Eugene, they have developed their own sweet like lovey-dovey relationship that makes me feel sick to the bone.

I've bonded particually well with Tea, she helps me teach the children of a morning and she is a good friend to me, shes kind, funny and she is a massive help when it comes to teaching the children about respect, responsibility and knowing their own place.

I pass by Daryl in the corridors sometimes and we shoot weak smiles at each other but we never talk, not since that night when he tried to kiss me, we sit around the dinner table and occasionly shoot insults out aimed at each other but we never really achnolodge that.

After all that, I thought I could be happy here, but today proved me wrong.

As I raised out of bed for the first time in 2 weeks my shoulder didn't give off any pain so I guess thats one thing to smile about, but its not enough.

I stood to my feet and immediatly got changed out of the pyjamas Tea gave me when I first arrived and into my hunting gear.

I grabbed my new bow from the floor and placed it over my shoulder with 30 of the new arrows I have made these two weeks in my handbag, they poked out because of their size but that just made them easier for me to take them out if need be.

After teaching in the mornings I go out to the forest and spend about 4 hours making new arrows and looking for food, the other day I did extremely well and caught 7 squirrels and on another day I actually saw a deer, didn't get it though, it was to fast.

I stepped out the attic sighing to myself, this room was mine to myself now because Charlotte moved into Eugenes room.

I stepped down to the stairs, counting each one as I went. When I reached the bottum I had finally counted 48 steps.

I trudged into the kitchen and was not to pleased to see Eugene and Charlotte (The early wakers) in the corner of the room making out, tongues down each others throats.

Charlotte turned to me and smiled, 'Happy Birth-'

But before she could finish I stepped back out, out the front door and down the path till I reached deep into the woods where I sat down, alone, and began to cry again.

[Charlottes POV]

'Whats her problem? Its her birthday for god sake.' Eugene muttered.

'That is the problem... Its her first birthday without her family, it was hard for me last month without my family, I used to do lots of things with them as a tradition on my birthday, its really sad knowing I'll never be ever to do them again...' I whispered.
