We got in the car and headed to the woods. I held zoeys hand the whole way. Beth held judith in her arms. We walked deeper into the woods, and ended up by a big boulder.

Zoeys POV~

We stayed and talked for a while. I never left carls side, although he wasnt talking much. I knew he was scared, worried, terrified even. The a bush was rustling, me and carl turned and pointed our guns in the noises direction. Then a familier, 17 year old came out. He held his hands up in a surrendering motin.

"Put the gun down son." Hershel spoke. The boy did as he was told.

"Jay?" I whispered quietly. His eyes left the barrel of carls gun and lead to me. He was just as shocked as me.

"Zoey?" He asked louder then i did. I lowered my gun, carl kept his raised. I started to walk towards him. My brother was alive. He was here, i could have some of my family. I almost reached jay, going to hug my older brother. Then i heard a gunshot and jay fell limp. I ran to him, crouching down. I turned him so his face was to mine, a bullet hole in his head. I sobbed, and sobbed. Gasping for air. I brushed my thumb along the wound whispering comforting thoughts. I was going numb.

"Its okay jay, your okay. You can c-come with us to the p-pr-pri-prison. Youre okay, its okay." I sobbed into his chest. Then i remembered who did this. I stood up and charged at carl. Stoping before him.

"What did you do?!" I screamed, hershel and beth tried to shush me but i didnt listen.

"He was with the governer!" He shrugged like it was nothing. Like a life nothing. Like taking a life was normal, nothing. Like jay, jays life was nothing.

"He was surrendering, carl!"

"I was keeping everyone safe! Stop being ungrateful! What if he hurt us, you! Why does he even matter?!"

"But carl!"

"It was nothing." My point in case.

"He was something! He was my brother! He saved my life! Why- how could you do this!" I screamed louder then anytime before. He was my savior. Carl came to comfot me. But i pulled away.

"Dont fucking touch me!!!" We got back in the car. Carl tried scooting closer every few moments leading me scoot away. When we got back to the prison, i just went to the gaurd tower.

Flash back*

Me and my brother sit in our room awaiting my fathers return. We didnt talk. There wasnt any thing left to say. My face was still throbing. We jumped at the sound of a door. I whimpered, jay crouched down next to me.

"Its okay i wont let him hurt you." We stood up to address our father. We walked to the kitchen, dad was searching for a drink.

"Where the fuck are my boos!" Then he came and back handed me. I stood strong. I dont cry anymore, there arent anymore tears. He went to beat me with his fist. But jay stepped in. He took a brutal beating. If i had taken that i probably would have died. He saved me. He did this alot, he would get into screaming matches with dad alot. But jay, his chest stopped rising and falling this time. After dad left i ran over and gave him CPR and he woke with a start. And suprisingly i sobbed and he held me close. And this was saturday, a good day.
