Claire. ☣

I've been crying so much lately, what the hell is wrong with me? All these memories in my head are coming back now after so long... what am I going to do?

After running and realizing I was pretty far away from the abandoned theatre, I laid down on the ground full of leafs and bugs to think.

If Michael saved my life then that must be something really important to me, even if I don't remember him and have to kill him so I can finally be with Matt... What's the solution to this?

My head is probably going to explode any time, Michael or Matt.

Ugh.

I hate this.

Michael. ☠

"The reason I left was because I was going to look for my wife and daughter but when I arrived to the place they were hiding, I was late. They already left, I searched for them everywhere but I never found them. That was when I decided to go back to the laboratory and look for you guys." He explained, I was happy he went back to his family but what the hell happened to baby stitch?

"Obviously we weren't there, did you expect we were going to wait for you there with the zombies?" I responded.

"It was a mistake leaving you guys there, I know what I did was wrong. You guys weren't safe enough..."

Kate and Ashton. ☢ (mostly narrated by Kate)

"Kate! Wait stop running." I heard Ashton yell from a distance but I didn't listen to him. I kept running and running... I didn't want to be in the same place as the men who was responsible for my sister's death.

"Don't you understand?" I stoped turning around to look at him. "that men has the fault for my sister dying, I still remember how Calum and Michael were fighting because they didn't know if Jade was already turning into a zombie when she passed out, Michael was saying she was okay but Calum said the opposite! He took his gun and shot her in her god damn forehead!" I ended up crying after that sentence, I miss Jade so much. She was the only thing I had as family, the sad thing is that I don't even have a picture of her to remember and every day her face gets harder to remember.

Ashton sighed he didn't know what to say, I know he's a little bit older than me but he is the only one who has seen my soft sweet side, "its not his fault the zombies bit her you know..."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath opening them as I exhaled, " if we wouldn't have met him everything would be so much better now."

He pulled me into a tight hug, I buried my face on his chest and he softly whispered in my ear, "you can't change the past darling, you're alive and healthy that's what matters the most right now. You have to enjoy every single little detail from your life."

I looked up at him, he was smiling and his cute dimples made me melt, "easy for you to say, you have Ariana and Jessica."

"And you have Calum and Michael."

He was right, after all they were the only two ones from my past that still remained in my life. I must thank god for that.

Michael ☠

"And that's another reason why we should leave this place, its not safe." I said, Charles looked at me like he didn't seem to like the idea.

"I don't think that's necessary for now, from what I've seen this place looks safe to stay in." He said as we walked and I showed him around.

"Dad, I think Michael is right. We should leave." Jessica appeared out of nowhere. I think she was spying on us?

Charles turned around to look at her, "well honey if thats your decision..."

The next morning I was awaken by the smell of smoke. I quickly looked to my head to check on Calum but he wasn't there sleeping next to me in the other bed like he always is. I ran out of the room to check what was happening but instead there was fire all over the area. I finally found the exit and noticed how everyone was outside? What?

I think if I hadn't waken up they wouldn't have went inside to look for me.

"How did this happened?" I asked while finally putting on the shirt I was battling to wear while getting out of the fire. I think I even burned myself.

"Someone must have done it, no way a theatre can turn itself on fire." Jessica responded crossing her arms.

"Kate! What have I told you about playing with fire?" I looked at her who was standing next to Ashton with one arm wrapped around his waist.

She then looked back at me, "why the hell do you think its my fault?"

"Who burned the last house and car Calum, you and I had? Huh?" I raised a brow. This made her get more pissed off than ever.

"The house was YOUR fault, the car exploded by itself!" She yelled.

I laughed at her response I was just messing around with her, I was actually wondering where was Calum then he appears with Ariana on his back, "dude why do you have her on your back? did something bad happened to her?"

"I saved her from the flames." He said proudly.

"Wait guys," Ashton said making all of us look at him, "if none of us provoked the fire... then who the hell did?"

That's a great point, mate.
