Chapter 35: Confessions & Mistakes...
Anthony's POV
I was the first one up, at least I thought I was, until I saw Ian sitting up with his head in his hands. I quickly checked the time on my iPhone, 5:53am.
"You okay dude?" I asked quietly, Ian looked up, his eyes were red and sore.
"I-I guess..." Ian sighed, wiping his eyes for what seemed to be the millionth time.
"What's up?" I spoke quietly, hoping I wouldn't wake anybody up.
"I dreamt about Ashley...again" Ian held back guilt and regret through one breath. "And then... her spirit appeared beside me when I woke up.." Ian rubbed his forehead in slight confusion.
"Really?" I asked, quite confused myself.
"Yes.." A calm, soft voice called out, "I did," it sounded sad and upset, that for sure was Ashley.
I looked up a little confused, but then looked back down in shock, scratching my head.
"She told me there was something 'she found out' and that she won't tell me 'at this present time'," Ian sighed, looking up slightly.
"Maybe she wants you to find out for yourself?" I suggested, shrugging a little bit, "Or she doesn't want you to know just yet.."
"Maybe.." Ian muttered sadly, fiddling with his hands.
After talking for a little while longer, everyone started to wake up, and soon we were all talking.
"Can you guys do accents?" Alice asked with a small smirk.
"I definitely can't!" I laughed, "I suck at any accent!"
"How about you Ian?" Alice inquired with a light tone in her voice, she sounded really happy.
"I can kinda do Irish.." Ian chuckled a little, and then tried to impersonate Niall from One Direction.
"I'm sorry but that was terrible!" Alice giggled, "You sounded Australian!" Everyone laughed with her, Ian shook his head and laughed too.
"Well hey! At least he sounded better than Felix would!" Ryan snickered, looking across at Felix's playful glare.
"Shut up!" Felix smirked, hitting Ryan over the head lightly, laughing.
"I can kinda do it.." Alice suggested, grinning happily. "Top of the mornin' to yer laddies!"
"My intro! That was good!" Jack smiled, high fiving Alice, "Nice job!" His thick Irish accent very noticeable.
"Well I watch too many of your videos a day!" Alice laughed, "I literally screwed homework so I could watch all of your videos!" Alice looked at every YouTuber sitting infront and around her.
(That's me! xD)
"So you did what I did!" Arixa beamed, "I used to do that all the time!"
"Well you're a troublemaker we'd expect that!" I smirked, chuckling to myself.
Arixa gently and playfully pushed me, I laughed and then wrapped my arms around her.
"I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" I refrained her from hitting me anymore and then gently let go.
"You better be!" Arixa grinned, turning back to face everyone else.
"Don't even ask me!" Felix looked away, laughing.
"I've already seen your Irish accent!" Jack smirked, "In the shoutout video!"
"Yeah I saw it too!" Alice sniggered, her red hair slipped nicely off her shoulders.
We were all laughing and having a good time, this was the happiest we had been for weeks! The thin, wispy air brushed past all of us, carrying both heat and cold, balancing the temperature.
"So Jack, how'd you get around here then?" Felix asked curiously, looking across at him.
"Well, Its a long story..." Jack sighed slightly, in his Irish accent.

~Flashback~
Jack's POV
I walked along the dry, sticky grass as it was losing its colour, not a single drop of rain had touched the dusty ground that I stood upon. I was with three of my group members, Charlie, Steph and Zane. The dead got the rest of them, and now we were walking out in the middle of nowhere. Steph was also Irish like me, she had lost a lot since this the apocalypse started, I could relate to her. Charlie was British, he was visiting his family in New Orleans and he was still presently searching for them. Zane was from Arizona, he was searching for his little sister, Samantha, who he lost in the early days of the apocalypse. But right now we were walking along a crumbly path, not knowing where the hell we were going. It was a long shot but it was worth the risk...
"We need to find more ammo..." Steph broke the silence, her black hair stayed tied up into a pony tail, which was quite high.
"I'm sure we will, we just have to look out for abandoned houses and stuff..." Zane replied, he had a slight bit of southern in his accent.
"Yeah, keep your eyes out guys," Charlie instructed, he was practically the leader of this small group, we didn't exactly like him that much, but we'd learnt to deal with him...
We walked for many hours and miles until we came across a rickety old house. We were low on supplies and desperate, it was our only option...
"Hey, it's worth a shot right?" Steph sighed, scratching her head.
"Should we all go in?" I asked, my voice trembling to the thought of whatever could be inside this house.
"No, I'll go. Lag behind in case this all messes up..." Charlie ordered, reloading his shotgun and approaching the door silently, reaching out to grab the handle slowly. He gently clutched onto it, and opened it quietly, a thick musty air dispersing from inside.
Normal POV
Charlie walked inside, the inpentrable air smacking his face as he slowly and stupidly shut the door behind him. Little did he know, there was no air flow in this abandoned house, leaving him to breathe in the intoxicated A-Virus. His breath became raspy, his throat sore and dry, many effects were starting to take place, he was showing symptoms... Coughing up blood, cold skin, wheezing, the list was neverending and the conditions began to multiply.
"I can't take this shit no more..." Charlie whispered, his British accent very distictive and conspicious. He withdrew a packet of cigarettes from his back pocket and whipped out a lighter, he casually leaned on the wall and popped the cigar in his mouth. Flickering the lighter, he leisurely brought it closer and closer to the cigeratte until it was inches away and...
"BOOM!"
"Wha--What the hell?!" Jack yelled, as he, Zane and Steph were forcefully shocked by the explosion and sent flying back.
But there was one thing they didn't know... The A-Virus was like Ethane, one light of a cigar and you'd be a goner...

Ryan's POV
"Damn, sorry to hear that..." Mark sighed, looking across at Jack.
"We didn't exactly like him, but no one deserves to die like that... No one." Jack huffed and looked down, messing with his hands. I suppose he didn't really want to talk more of that situation..
"So, what happened then?" Felix questioned, pushing his hair back and crossing his legs.
"Well... Me, Zane and Steph continued walking, but then we got lost in the city. I lost track of both of them, they were practically nowhere to be seen." Jack explained, adjusting his grey cap. "Haven't seen them ever since... And that was two weeks ago..."
"We'll find them.." Alice spoke up with confidence, putting her hand on Jack's shoulder, she was always the one who made you smile, no matter what had happened. Jack looked up at her and grinned, thanking her quietly.
"We'll do whatever it takes to help you find them," Me, Austin and Anthony said altogether, to show support.
"Yeah... Don't worry about it.." Felix smiled along with Ian and Mark, we were all sympathetic towards Jack and we'd help him in any way possible, cause that's what friends do.
"Thanks.." Jack beamed lightly, but then a sad look carried across his face... I'd seen that look before... "I just hope they're both okay, especially Steph..." Jack exhaled sadly, looking to the ground.
"You liked her?" Mark asked quietly, locking his hands together.
Jack blushed a little bit, a small smile appearing on his face, "Yeah... I did... I liked her a lot... Words can't even describe..."
A few conversations picked up here and there, but not really a continuous one, by the time 9am came across, we decided to pack up our things and set out along on our journey... But more problems left us speechless...
