The group walks through the forest, your in the back. Jesus is in the front while Tripp and Javi talk in the middle. They all walk idly. while you keep at attention for walkers.

Tripp: "I gotta tell you, man... I thought you and Kate were...you know. I mean... I saw you kiss her in the junkyard. And, uh...Tripp: I ain't judging, mind you, I'm just...curious. What's the story. Ain't my business, I know, but...what have we got to lose out here?"

Javier: "I..."

Tripp: "Hey, man, it's alright. Go for it."

Javier: "I do have feelings for her. Maybe I shouldn't, but...that doesn't just make them go away."

Tripp: "No harm in saying it. Hell, the only real harm's in not saying it when you should...It's always a mess, ain't it?"

Javier: "What's that?"

Tripp: "Who you love, who loves you. If they're one and the same or otherwise. You know what I mean? Just when you think you got everything figured out. Boom! Heart goes ass-over-teakettle."

Y/N: "If it wasn't messy, it wouldn't be important, right?" You add. Still looking around. You thought you hear a moan, but maybe your just imagining things.

Javier: "Took the words right out of my mouth."

Tripp: "Maybe."

Tripp: "Just sayin', man, three things that never hide forever... The sun, the moon, and the truth."

Tripp: "Eleanor and I, we were...something...at some point. But nothing now. respect her wishes. I really do. I just wish my heart respected mine..."

Jesus signals for the group to stop by putting his hands up.

Tripp: "Jesus got his eye on something..."

Jesus climbs onto a rock and looks into the distance.

Tripp: "What you got for us, man?"

Jesus: "Listen..."

Walkers growl nearby.

Javier: "Tell me that isn't what I think it is..."

Jesus: "About a quarter mile out, headin' the same way we are..."

Tripp: "We could hit walkers any second. We better scoot."

The group draws their weapons and continue moving.

Jesus throws his axe and into a walker's head. He grabs his weapon and kills a few more. You hit a walker with your bat, but it doesn't die; Jesus stomps on its head, killing it. You kill a walker with your bat and smash another one against a tree.

Y/N: "Batter up, fuckface!"

You kill the walker with a large swing to its head.

Tripp: "C'mon, man! Move your ass!"

The rest of the group runs off. You start to follow them, but notice a walker nearby.

Y/N: "You want a piece of this?"

You kick the walker to the ground. As your is about to smash its head in, another walker grabs you that you didn't see. You break free by pushing against it with your bat. and hit it with the bat, but the first one tackles you, making you drop your weapon. You throw the walker off and reach for your weapon which should be beside you. You pat all around and don't feel it. This is it. This is where you die.

Someone hits the first walker once with the bat in the head. Killing it. They hit the second one. one time. After that doesn't kill it. They hit it for a second time. Luckily the person hits their mark and saves your bacon.
