The Zombies Over There

He Will Be Missed

Lewis POV
It was late now, everyone getting silently ready for bed. Cameron, who had woken up earlier, looked depressed. I guess the zombie apocalypse could have that effect on people, I walk over and sit by him.
"Hey, you doing alright?" I whisper, he shakes his head almost immediately, looking the other way. I gently rub his back,
"What's wrong?" I ask. He pulls me closer, whispering something dark.
"I wanna die.." he whispers. I hesitate, hugging him tightly. He hugs back. He must've suffered from depression before all of this— and not taking his pills can end bad- I should know.
"You can't" I say, sighing. He doesn't reply,
"Why don't you head to bed.. maybe sleep will help" I say, pulling away. He nods a bit.
"Thanks.." he sighs, I ruffle his hair and lay down by Saint. He smiles at me, I grin,
"God you're adorable" I whisper. He blushes and I pull him close, he rests his hands on my waist and I couldn't help but blush as well. He smirks a bit and I glance around, everyone was practically asleep. I smirk back, and he kisses me. I kiss back, pulling him against me. He pulls away a bit and I give him a confused look,
"Do you actually love me? Or are you just trying to make me happy?" He whispers. I rest my forehead against his, whispering :
"I haven't felt like this toward someone ever"
He wraps his arms around my neck, pulling me closer. I rub his back, resting my chin on his head. I listen to his soft breathing.
Inhaling and exhaling, slowly. I close my eyes but I wasn't tired,
"Saint.." I whisper. He shifts, softly kissing my cheek, his warm breathing against my cheek.
"Yeah?" He whispers back, I take a deep breath but hesitate, sighing.
"I love you" I whisper, it wasn't what I wanted to say, but it was true. He lets out a quiet chuckle, and I find myself blushing.
"I love you too" He whispers, I rub the back of his head and hold him close. I listen to his breathing again, until he slips into sleep. I close my eyes and find myself slipping into sleep myself, I open my eyes a bit, glancing around and pulling Saint closer.
I want him safe and warm.
I slowly close my eyes and fall asleep.

I wake up abruptly, only to flinch when I hear a scream. I look at Jay, her eyes wide. I follow her gaze and my eyes widen as well.
Cameron had shot himself.
"No no no no no no no" Jay began, covering her face, Kenny covered her eyes and held her close. Saint shifted and sat up, I flip him the opposite way and kiss his cheek.
"What?" He grunts, I shake my head and take a deep breath, feeling my heart sink. I get up and walk over, grabbing the gun and putting it in my pocket. I lift Cameron's chin, his violently empty face scared me.
"I'm so sorry.." I whispered, kissing his forehead. I took his coat off him and placed it over him, so Jay, Sam and Saint didn't have to see anymore. I take a deep breath and walk over to saint, whispering what had happened. He let out a low whine and I kissed his cheek, than I told Sam the same thing. She hadn't seen it, which was good. She began to cry.
Than I approached Jay, she was snuggled tightly into Kenny.
"Jay.." I whispered, she pulled away and tightly hugged me, I rub her back.
"This is all my fault.." she growled, I shook my head, kissing hers.
"He was depressed.. he didn't have his medication.. he just couldn't handle this anymore.." I whisper, she rests her head on my chest. I gently pick her up and snuggle her,
"We have to leave tomorrow" Kenny whispers in my ear. I nod slowly. Saint and Sam come over and jump on the bed with us. We all clump together and cuddle one another,
"Night.. I love you.." Jay says, closing her eyes.
"I love you too" everyone says, I rest my head on Saints shoulder and Jay rests her on my chest. Kenny cuddles Jay's torso and Sam snuggles in Saints lap. We all eventually fall asleep.
