Chapter Eight- Acceptance

Alex's POV

I grabbed my gun it was my shift. It was now September of 2025 I couldn't wait to get on the plane and leave this hellhole. I had finally accepted that John was gone and wouldn't return there were almost no zombies which was confusing because they were always here. That is when I heard a scream of a female and a male voice yell, "Maria!" before there was a gunshot. I stood up. That voice sounded so familiar... but I couldn't pinpoint it. It was a voice I hadn't heard in forever that's when I realised... John. It couldn't be him though he was a Zombie and I finally accepted it. I ran into the forest where I heard it and I saw a female on the ground it looked like the human version of the zombie that stole my John. When John ran over to her and pulled her up, "Maria are you okay?!" he said, "Yea I'm fine." She nodded. So her name is Maria. I needed to talk to him, "Jacki?" I asked. He looked over to me and his eyes lit up, "Lexi!" He yelled and ran and hugged me. I tensed up and pushed him away, "W-What's wrong?" He asked me. I was in the first state of denial again as well as anger so I yelled at him, "Well, for starters I don't trust you are not still a zombie out to get me, and two you cheated on me!" I pushed him back, "Le-Lexi what are you talking about? I never cheated on you." He said. I smirked, "Then who is that!?" He pointed to Maria

John's POV

I was so confused and sad why didn't he believe me? I didn't understand, "She just helped me come back to life so I could see you! She had a girlfriend it was Peggy! I would never cheat on you..." I said. He only looked angrier, "LIKELY STORY..." He paused, "Laurens..." He spat. I started crying my heart being crushed into a million little pieces, "I-I thought you loved me..." I whispered. I saw the regret in his eyes but I didn't care I was already hurt, "I thought w-wrong I guess..." I said softly and ran away. I felt worthless like I didn't matter anymore. Why did I spend all that time trying to be with Alex when he would just break my heart right after. I ran into the cabin and dropped my bag and bow. I started bawling my eyes out I felt so sad and broken. I didn't want to see or talk to anybody I just wanted to cry until there were no tears left.

Maria's POV

I felt anger bubbling in me as I saw John run away. He hurt my best friend someone who John cared for more then anyone else in the world now that Peggy is dead. I ran up to him and slapped him across the face, "Are you insane?! He only was around me because I made a potion that turned us Human! You know why he wanted to be human?! Because he wanted to see you! If you didn't exist he wouldn't be here and Human! He would have already died giving up on trying to learn how to use a bow if you weren't in his brain and pushed him forward! He would gush about you before he turned back! He would always say things like 'I love him so much' to me and talk about all the great things you did." I snapped. He looked at me with fear and some regret, "So congratulations." I said coldly. I then walked closer to him and slapped him across the face before running off to John. I ran in the house to see him on the ground crying his eyes out, "John you alright?" No response, "John please talk to me..." I said. I heard running outside of the house, "I-I did all that to be with him and he..." He chocked out. I felt rage burn up on me again, "Tell him how you feel. You don't need to sit here in cry it Won't help I'm sorry this is happening but you need to stay strong." I held out my hand to him and he looked up and nodded and stood up. He walked out the door looking to me saying, "Thanks..." his voice still very shaky as he gave a sad smile.

John's POV

I was still heartbroken. But I sucked it up and went outside anyway and saw Alexander by a tree crying, "Jacki I'm sorry. I-I just thought..." he had a pink handprint on his face. I felt paralyzed and started thinking I shouldn't be doing this. My mind kept replaying the part where he broke my heart I wanted to walk inside but Maria wanted to see me happy again. So, I walked up to him hesitantly, "Lexi...?" I asked softly. He looked to me and started crying more, "Jacki I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry..." I didn't know what to do. Half of me wanted to hurt him and leave him out to die for hurting me. But the other half wanted me to jump into his arms and forgive him, "I-I..." I stuttered out, "I'm so sorry please forgive me. I just heard you say I love to her and I jumped to conclusions I'm sorry." He said. I buried my face in his chest, "I-I forgive you..." I mumbled. I felt him cry more hugging me tightly. When there was a loud yell, "Alex what the fuck?!"
