Chapter 40 >remember you(Got7)<

At the end of the day, that passes everyday, one thing that I draw of your face that smiled brightly like a child.

"What was your childhood like Irene?" My little sister Macy asked as I smoothed out her hair, Jon, my older brother looked out the boarded up windows.
"Well when I was a little girl-" I began
"Lights out Jon" Josh said poking his head into our room, my brother only responded with a nod. My little sister sighed before standing up and crawling over to the makeshift bed we had created, I laid down next to her as Jon laid down in front of the door.
Jon wasn't always like this, the infection hit when Jon was 13 I was 12, my mom was in the hospital recovering from having Macy, my dad was at home when it happened, he raced to the hospital and left us at home telling us to lock the doors, we did as told when my father returned home, a bundle in his arm and a phone that he was talking to, my brother tried to ask questions but quieted down when my dad pulled us both outside and into his car, he handed my sister to Jon being the eldest, and began zooming as fast as we could down the highway and he was still talking on the phone when suddenly
"Damn it!" He yelled
"Preston? Are you there" silence... he had been talking to my uncle I guess.
"Alic?" He shouted as well
"Damn Damn Damn! Damn you!" He shouted hitting his palms on the steering wheel.
"Everyone and there mother had the same idea" he yelled trying to back up but more cars where already behind him.
"Jon, Irene, this is your sister Macy, now I want you to both get out of the car" he said and we both complied.
Once we were out our father turned to the trunk and unloaded two guns
"Jon give Macy to Irene" he nodded slipping the baby to me, before my father handed my brother a pistol. Only a few weeks ago my brother and dad had gone hunting for the first time together so Jon had a bit of experience but not much, but I had no experience so I was less trustworthy than Jon at the time.

If I go back again and Meet you Then I will say it, I'm sorry that I love you, you, you remember me

However as all things come, they must also go, our father had been bitten, and Jon only saved Macy and I, when his older brother personality overtook and he shot as much before his pistol was out. Later that day we ran into other survivors, they pitied us and took us under their wing, at the time the family we stayed with had a son, his name was Josh. Josh and Jon are the same age, have very similar mindsets, and have one goal, to end the apocalypse...
When Macy fell asleep, I scooted out of bed and walked over to the door.
"What are you doing?" Jon asked
"I'll be right back... Can't sleep" I said, I heard the boards shift as Jon moved away from the entrance of the door, I opened and closed it quietly behind me. I followed the stairs upward to the top of the business office we had made our home with the group, I opened the door to the roof when a voice stopped me.
"Irene?" Josh said
"Yeah?"
"No sleep?" he said
"Yeah" was all I could answer before josh followed behind me.
"It's cold, you're sure?" he said, and I nodded. Josh had become accustomed to this routine, I was usually roaming about after hours due to bad sleeping habits and usually fell asleep after a good walk, and Josh would follow so as to make sure I didn't die, Thanks Josh.
"Has everything been okay with Macy?" Josh asked
"I think so, she get's angry at me when Jon and I correct her grammar" I said chuckling and Josh joined in
"Jon did that with me all the time" he said running his hand from the back of his head to the front.
"How have the older children been in the defense class?" I asked
"They've been getting better, however I worry for a few" Josh said worriedly
"They'll be fine, the other kids have turned out fine since you've been teaching" I said and he smiled, I looked out into the darkness and inhaled deeply, and exhaling.
"Alright, thank you-"
"What's that?" Josh said interupting me

overflowing misunderstandings eventually took you again, Left alone, I'm getting sick from bruises by myself.

I turned to where Josh was looking and saw a shadowed figure with a flashlight in the back, actually now a few people were appearing.
"god damn it! they're gonna attract a bunch of  slugs over here" he said angrily rushing inside, me following behind
"got you're gun?" he said pulling his pistol out, unlocking the doors and locking them behind us, as we rushed out of the building to stop the crowd from alarming nearby slugs.
"Halt!" Josh said his gun raised and light flashing into the newcomers eyes, I also raised my gun, there were 7 of them, and they raised their guns back to us.
"Josh, next time you plan an ambush, count first" I said angrily below my breath to him
"Sorry, natural habit" he said
"jaegseun, ulineun mueos-eulhanayo?" one voice raised
"Josh, They're not speaking English" I said
"geogjeong maseyo." Another voice responded
"Hello there, I'm sorry to intrude" the voice said
"Oh you speak english" Josh said
"Yes, unfortunately my comrades native language is not english, but I can translate." he said he put his gun in a holster under his arm, before the other boys followed, I lowered my gun but josh did not. Making some of the other boys tense up, the one who spoke up squinted when the light hit his eyes, but he was honestly not too bad of a looking character, he was wearing a dark blue button up shirt, black jeans, and the gun holster under his arm, his hair appeared dark. And was definitely the kind of guy I'd have hit on if I'd still been in school a few years back, he looked to be maybe somewhere around my age maybe older.
"Who are you? and why are you trying to attract slugs out in the middle of the night with you're damn flashlights?" Josh said angrily
"My name is Jackson, these are my friends. Slugs? do you mean The zombies? well because we have a system with the flashlights" He said
"Josh" I said
"I hate to bother you two, but do you have a place we could stay?" Jackson asked, Josh sighed
"Jackson?" I suddenly said before josh could say anything
"yes?" he said
"Why do you travel in such big groups?" I asked
