Max Dixon's POV

The doors opened and a bright light was shined on us. We all look at the door in shock, before rushing in. The place was empty. Then a man showed up cocking his shotgun. "Anyone infected?"He asks. "One of our group was. He didn't make it."Rick says.

"Why are you here? What do you want?"The man asks. "A chance."Rick answers. "That's asking an awful lot these days."The man says stepping closer. "I know."Rick says. The man looked at us all before saying we had to do a blood test to stay. We agreed and the man let us grab our stuff before we all got into an elevator and went down.

"Doctors always go around packing heat like that?"Dad asks. "There are plenty left lying around. I familiarize myself. But you look harmless enough. Except you. I'll have to keep my eye on you."The doctor says to Carl. I chuckle as Carl smiles. "Yeah, he is quite the troublemaker."I say causing Carl to glare at me.

We soon get to the bottom and get out walking down a hall to a big room.
"VI, bring up the lights in the big room.Welcome to zone 5."The doctor says as the light turn on. "Where is everybody? The other doctors, the staff?"Rick asks. "I'm it. It's just me here."The doctor says.

I walk in looking around. I notice a timer counting down on the wall. Then we were taken to get our blood tests. Soon we were all excepted so the doctor took us to the dining room and let us eat. There was alcohol so all the adults got into that. Then they were trying to let Carl drink it but Lori wouldn't let him.

"You know in Italy, children have a little bit of wine with dinner."Dale says. "Well, when Carl is on Italy he can have some than."Lori says. "What's it gonna hurt? Come on. Come on."Rick urges. So Lori gave up and let Carl try some. As soon as Carl tried it he made a face of disgust and said eww causing everyone to laugh.

"Just stick to soda pop lad."Shane says. "Not you Glenn. You keep drinking. I want to see how red your face can get."My dad says making everyone laugh. Then Rick clincks his glass and stands up causing everyone to go silent.

"It seems to me we haven't thanked our host properly."Rick says. "He is more than just our host."T-Dog says. "Booyah!!"Dad shouts as we all raise our glasses. I raised my glass of pop since I was to young to drink. "Booyah!!"I yell too. Soon we finished dinner.

Dr. Jenner then told us what happened and why he was the only one left. Then Dr. Jenner showed us to our rooms. I was gonna have my own room. The beat thing about this place was that there were showers. We each went to our rooms and took showers. The warm water was amazing.

After I took my shower I went to the Rec room. It was empty so I went in and looked around. There were a ton of books. I was gonna need a new one soon so I started to look through them. Then I found one of my favorite series. The Alex Rider series. The first 3 books were here so I grabbed them and went and sat down in the chair. I started to read the first book and got sucked right into it.

Soon Carol, Carl and Sophia entered and grabbed some books too. I stopped reading to watch Carl as he read. He was so adorable. Then Lori came in. "Any good books?"She asks. "Un-huh. Enough to keep us busy for years."Carol answers. "Alright, come on kids, it's bedtime."Carol says standing up.

I stand up too not wanting to be alone in a room with Whori. I head back to my room with the books and go inside. I put the books in my bag and grab my other one. I stripped to where I was only in my boxers before sitting on my bed and continued to read my book. That was until I heard a knock on my door. I got up and opened the door to see Carl standing there.

As soon as he saw me his face heated up since I was only in my boxers. "Hey, what's up kiddo?"I ask. "I-I was wondering if I-I could sleep in here
w-with you?"Carl asks stuttering. "Sure kid, but why don't you want to sleep with your parents?"I ask as Carl walks in.

"They're drunk."He says as he sits on the bed. I snort as I sit down next to him. "Yeah I bet they are."I say. " So you want to continue our game?"I ask referring to 20 questions. "Sure."Carl says. "Okay the last question I asked was who do you have a crush on?"I ask. Carl's face instantly heats up as he thinks of it.

"Come on, tell me. I won't tell anyone." I say. "Okay, but promise you won't get mad?"Carl asks. "Promise."I say. "Okay,.....I..........like........you."Carl says slowly. My jaw dropped at that. "Y-you like me?"I ask shocked. "Please don't be mad. I'm sorry. I-I-"I cut him off by hugging him. "Its okay Carl. I like you too."I say.

Carl smiles as he hugs me back. I lay us back and cover us up before turning off the light. Carl snuggled up against me and we were both soon fast asleep.
