Chapter Twenty

I slid my shoe off since I had a boot on and walked to my bed, Mark was changing into a different shirt because his was all dirty, it took all of my efforts to not admire him and I succeeded
He lazily walked over to his bed and sat down so we were facing each other

"So what do you think of this place?" Mark asked looking at me with tired eyes

"It's...nice" I spoke unsurely with a nod

"But?" Mark questioned not seeming to have a reason I wouldn't like it

"I don't know if I want to stay here.." I told him truthfully, he nodded

"Why?" He asked walking over to my bed and sitting next to me

I paused before reaching into my pocket and pulling out the picture of me and Tyler, I ran my fingers over it and a small tear slipped down my face, I wiped it away quickly and with a slightly shaky hand I handed it to Mark

"T-that was my friend Tyler" I told him, he looked over at me "he was with me almost since the apocalypse started but-" I bit my lip to hold back tears as this was still a very fresh wound that I had yet to wrap my head around

"He was killed..by one of those Scaly fuckers, a few days before me and you came across each other"
He looked back at the picture with a sympathetic look

"And...and I'm not gonna be able to rest until all of them are dead" I spoke with pure hatred, I saw Mark look at me out of the corner of my eye
He seemed shocked but there was a hint of knowing in his eyes, after a long pause Mark spoke

"..well whatever you decide to do, I'm coming with" He said with a smile, setting his hand on my shoulder,
I looked over at him with surprised eyes and a large smile on my face, I pulled him into a hug and he returned it

"Thank you" I whispered tightening my grip on him

"Anything for you" He said quietly rubbing my back which I melted into

After a bit we both pulled away with smiles on our faces, he ruffled my hair before getting up and getting in his bed, i laid down as well but was slightly uncomfortable with the boot on my foot, I shifted around a bit before deciding I was comfortable enough

"Goodnight Ethan" Marks low voice filled the room

"Night" I spoke with a yawn feeling my eyes get heavy and a sense of calm overcome my body as I drifted off into sleep.

-                                    later                                        -

"Ethan! Help!" Loud shouts of Tyler's voice filled my ears as I looked around my surroundings, I was in the mall where I was chased by the horde but there seemed to be no infected around

"Please Help!" His voice shouted out again, it sounded so loud but so very far away
I ran out the mall as fast as I could following his voice

"I'm coming Tyler don't worry!" I yelled back with tears in my eyes as I raced through the woods

"Ethan!" His voice rang out again, I tripped on a large fallen tree branch and when I stood back up I was face to face with the tree house
Confusion filled my mind but I was soon brought back to reality when Tyler's voice rang out again from the tree house

I climbed the tree as fast as I could almost fallen on the way up and pushed open the door, I stumbled inside

"Tyler?" I question out of breath looking around the tree house only to be met with an empty space, I looked at the bed and it was clean, no blood at all
I turned searching the place when something outside the window caught my eye

Tyler's grave

I hurried down the tree again and rushed to it, slowing once I got close, I sighed as I took in the sight of the freshly dug dirt
Bending down I set my hand on the dirt, fiddling with a rock that was mixed in with it
I looked over at the cross I made noticing an unfamiliar carving on it, I leaned forward slightly to see it better. It read.

Its your fault Ethan

I tilted my head slightly

"What?" I questioned when all of a sudden I felt a hand grasp my arm, I looked down to see a hand sticking out of the dirt holding my arm I was about to scream and pull away when there was a loud gunshot.

I sat up quickly, breathing heavily I rested my hand on my chest feeling my heart as it beat harshly, I felt around the bed and glanced around the room in a panic, once my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I knew where I was I pulled my knees to my chest, feeling silent tears dripping down my face as I shook violently from the dream

I glanced over at Mark's side of the room seeing him sleeping soundly in his bed, his blankets were pushed down towards his feet and he was laying on his back
I watched his chest rise and fall, copying his breathing for a bit until mine was even once again

After a moment of sitting awake not wanting to try and go back to sleep I swung my legs over the bed and stood up, I walked over to Mark's bed and paused for a moment before crawling into his bed with him

I laid down close to him and not even a second later I felt two arms snake around my waist as he nuzzled his face into my neck letting out a small sigh as he did so, I smiled as he pulled me closer to him

I felt my eyes growing heaving once again but I fought against it, scared to go back to sleep, after a while i felt one of Marks arms slip under my shirt and rest on my stomach, I melted into his touch and felt myself starting to drift off into sleep, the warmth radiating off his body made me feel super comfortable and I couldn't fight no more
