"When evil men plot, Good men plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love."
-Martin Luther King Jr.

I don't remember how long we stood there, waiting for any changes in Rick. His wife, crying going on about it's going to be okay. When Rick coughed up blood, Doc announced that it was a good sign. We all breathed a breath of relief.

"Maybe I should have pulled the drill bit when he was still knocked out," Doc thought out loud causing everyone to just look at him

Laughter at little bit at his humor, I started my way over to the nearest window. Raising my eyebrow, I noticed something flying towards us. Is that...a Z? SHIT!

"EVERYONE! GET DOWN-"

But before I could finish, the Z came crushing into the room. Rick's wife started screaming, I was in utter shock, Doc ran over to shut the window, and Mac well he's Mac.

"Murphy take care of that Z!" Mac ordered whole Doc struggle to close the door.

And by some miracle, Charlie comes running with medical supplies. But, where's Warren?

"Is he okay?! What did you do to him?!" Charlie asked freaking out

"Drill to the dome," I answered in a slow tune typing my head with my finger

"Where's 10k and Cassandra?" Charlie asked causing my whole world to freeze

10k? Cass? 10k?! Cass?! They're not back. How could I have not noticed?!  It didn't even take me a minute to run out of the room. I can't loose Cass again. 10k either. I only started to get to know him, I can't loose him now.

Pushing past Addy, Mac grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"Y/n, what are you doing? Its a storm out there!" Mac yelled causing Addy to get up

"10k and Cass are still out there! I can't loose her again. Neither can I loose 10k either! They're my everything! What kind of a friend would I be if I let them die without trying?!" I screamed with tears flowing down my face

Mac gave Addy a look. Nodding their heads, Addy grabbed on to me while Mac ran in there to help the boys.

"Addy! ADDY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? LET ME GO," I screamed in agony while Addy held on to me.

"Sorry baby bird, I can't let you go," Addy said with weakness in her voice

We spent maybe ten minutes like this. Me begging for Addy to let me go while she held onto like her like depended on it. Eventually I tired myself out. Collapsing into Addy's arms, i fought the darkness trying to take over. Loosing, I slowly closed my eyes, longing for the warmth that I remember.

-To 10k and Cassandra-

It was extremely awkward. Cassandra knew you liked 10k. Which was a big deal. After your father, you barely trusted anyone. When Murphy came into your life, things started to change slowly. Believe it or not. But then the apocalypse happened and she lost you. Tobias found her and became her temporary new family. She hated it there, but she eventually got over it. Cassandra knew she also liked 10k, but would never do that to you. If only 10k wasn't so oblivious.

The two had been walking around for what seemed like hours. Both missing you like crazy. It wasn't until they decided they couldn't find anything and started to head back to the house. On their way there, the storm kept getting worse and worse. The sky was an greener then the time you threw up during one of the many Cassandra sleepovers.

"We're not going to make it back!" 10k yelled staying a few feet behind Cassandra

Cassandra nodded looking around for a solution. That's when she noticed the abandoned car. A grin grew on her face.

"Take cover in the car!" Cassandra yelled changing the direction toward the car

When the two got to the car, Cassandra crawled into the drivers sit and 10k into the passenger. The two turned their heads to watch the incoming storm. Feeling the fear creep up, Cassandra reached for the seatbelt.

"You know, y/n has always wanted kids. I remember in middle school, she swore she would do right for her future kids. So she never got high or drank as much as she does now. The apocalypse did her bad. It did everyone bad. But honestly when she's with you, she's the happiest she's ever been. And not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous of that," Cassandra confessed thinking that she was going to die anyways

10k just looked at her in stock. Jealous? Of him? But he couldn't help feel his heart speed up at the mention of Y/n. She was beyond beautiful and he'll admit that to everyone and anyone. She also sure knew her way with a gun or a knife.

10k was snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed the faint tornado heading straight towards them.

-to Warren-

Warren had enough of this. She felt like she lost everyone. Warren had accepted that he husband was no longer with them. Locking Charlie and the others in the basement, she placed her weapon down grabbed her wedding photos. Pushing her husband's chair in front of the basement door, she sat down and sighed a breath of relief. Slipping her wedding ring on, she looked through the book that held her beloved memories.

"Roberta?" Charlie screamed echoed in the distance

"Roberta?! Roberta?! What are you doing?!" Charlie screamed as the pounding on the door started.

But there was no answer.

"Please don't do this," Charlie begged as the roof began to deteriorate

Warren choose not to answered. But only smiled as she rubbed her hand across the Wedding Invitation she held on to after the wedding.

"What are you doing?! The storm is going to come any second now! Come on Roberta, hurry up! Wait, what are you doing?! Roberta?!" Charlie cried trying everything to open the door

Roberta didn't want this. She wanted peace. She wanted Antonio.

-to the others-

Your p.o.v:

I awoke to the sound of something being hammer. Forcing my eyes to stay open, slowly I left the comfort of Addy's arms and started towards the noises. Each step I took, the pounding in my head got worse. The storm outside became unbearable.

You could hear the moaning of Zs getting thrown around like a rag doll, the house around us being to fall, and the howling scream of the wind that ripped everything apart.

I walked into the room that seemed to be the hang out spot. Doc was going through the medical bag, Murphy was having a make out session with the Z, and Mac was pounding on the broken window. Go figure.

"Mac, help me get him under the table, will ya?" Doc asked after stuffing what I assumed was insulin in his pocket.

I took the hammer out of Mac's hands and signal for him to go ahead. He gave me a look of concern and disapproval but eventually moved to help Doc.

"Okay. On my count."

"Shut up Doc," Mac snapped, "get a blanket."

I rolled my eyes and when back to hammering. For the first time in my life, everything was in slow motion.

-to Warren again lol-

"Roberta can you hear me?!" Charlie screamed for what seemed about the thousandth time

"I have to wait for him this time, Charlie," Warren finally spoke, "I owe him that much."

"What?! No! Come down here right now! It is not safe up there," Charlie begged but was met with no anvil.

"It's like you said....I can't start forgetting, until I know," Warren answered with sadness laced in her voice

"Please, Roberta, don't do this," Charlie cried but was met with laughter

-to the others-

Doc was on the floor trying to remove the drill from the guy's head. Murphy was still having his make out session. While I just sat there and pounded it. I had nothing to live for anymore. My best friend and the guy I like are out there. Probably dead.

When Charlie came barging in, Mac stood up immediately.

"Where's Warren?" Mac asked but I was too distracted by the hammer to even care.

"She's not coming." He answered quickly

Great. Another person I lost. Bringing my attention back to the window, I started pounding again. Lost deep in my thoughts.

What?!" Doc and Mac screamed at the same time

"What do you mean she's not coming?! She's going to get herself killed up there! She needs to be down here," Doc screamed causing Charlie to snap

"She's not coming. That's the end of it," Charlie said just standing there

I was too lost in my thoughts to noticed Mac killing the Z. Before running over to me.

"Hey, let's give you a break from there," Mac said with a certain softness in his voice that seemed to fly over my ears.

Slowly nodding, he took the hammer out of my hands, and walked me over to one of the corners. Finding an extra blanket, he covered my shoulders and left to find Addy I assume.

This time I didn't want sleep to take me. I was going to stay awake. I need to watch this till the end. But why was Mac being so kind? Why was Murphy so attached to that Z? Why the hell was Charlie and Warren so oblivious of their feelings?!

The storm only got worse. Charlie, Doc, and the man's wife surrounded the poor guy. Covering whatever parts of the house was falling inside the small room. Murphy got out of his trance and eventually came to comfort me. Everything was a blur. My mind when back to 10k and Cass. What kind of friend am I leaving them out there like that? I didn't deserve them and I never will.

-to Cassandra and 10k-

Cassandra's P.o.v:

It was over as quickly as it came. Sure it was scary, but not as scary as Y/n is going to be when she finds out we're alive. I looked at 10k and nodded it. Opening the car door, we slowly got out. Taking a deep breath, I thought of how we're going to explain this to y/n.

"We have to get back as soon as possible. Y/n probably thinks we're dead and is going hay wild," I said causing 10k to go wide eye, I knew what he was thinking, "no. She didn't come out during the storm. The gang would not let her."

He seemed to calm down after. He had it bad for her. And I was okay with that. Smiling, I nodded and started to run towards the house. We needed to see y/n as soon as possible.

Your p.o.v:

I watched everything. I watched all of them loosing hope and regaining hope. All I could do was stare. When Murphy left to help with something I truly felt alone. The warm feeling, gone.

When Addy and Mac came rushing in, their first priority was me. Addy in golfed me in a hug, while Mac checked to make sure I was wasn't bruised. I felt my vision go blurry, tears began to run down my face. They cared. They really cared.

"Go to sleep baby bird, you need your rest to sore above the sky," Addy whispered as I closed my eyes.

I didn't want to sleep, but I knew she was right. I felted her left go and handed me over to Mac. Carrying me bridal style, I assumed he was heading for the stairs.

3rd person-

You could feel the fresh air against your face. It felt amazing

"You're crazy? You know that right," Addy said and Warren agreed.

She must have taken a noticed of you, limp in Mac's arms. Warren ran over to you as fast as she could. Placing her hand on your forehead, you were burning up. Maybe from infection of your knee or stress from everything.

"What happened to her? Is she okay?!" Warren out looking for any visible bites or cuts.

"She's fine. Just tired. Maybe some minor injuries, other than that she'll be okay. I'll take her to the truck," Mac answered before walking off towards the truck

Mac only made it half way before he was stopped by a worried Cassandra and a freaking out 10k. Mac could noticed the possessiveness growing in 10k's eyes. He only smirked.

"What happened to her? What did you do to her?!" 10k yelled attracting everyone's attention

"Nothing! She's just tired and sick. If it's anyone's fault, it's yours. She thinks the both of you are dead!" Mac scrammed causing 10k to stop in his tracks

"Why do you care anyways?! You have your girlfriend go take care of her," 10k snapped before forcibly pulling you from Mac's arms

Mac only glared and looked at Addy. She was as mad as a cow on milking day.  The hell has gotten into 10k? Addy rolled her before getting inside the truck.

Doc finally gave up his detect stash of the good stuff. Which everyone smiled while he did it. The old doc wouldn't even bat an eye.

Warren and Charlie shared a look. It wasn't a "I know look" it was a "thank you look." The two smiled at each other before taking off. Following the truck closely behind.

As for Y/n, she was beside of 10k. Knocked out. 10k tan his fingers through her hair and smiled that was only reserved for her. She was absolutely, and no one was going to change his mind. Slipping his hand in her small ones, he felt pure bliss. He could get use to this.

MAN IM TELLING YOU THIS IS ONE OF MY LARGEST AND LONGEST CHAPTERS. OVER 2000 WORDS! IM NATURALLY PROUD OF MYSELF! ANYWAYS, I LOVE YALL AND HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS
