were so close.”
    “Forget about Bryce, Belinda is going to be the one who will be really upset. That’s her nephew.”
    Allie shook her head. “No, it’s not. Bryce just told her that so Belinda wouldn’t shoot him. That’s what Cassie told me.”
    “Okay, you girls are confusing the hell out of me,” said Justice. “How many people have you had trying to shoot at you?”
    “Too many to count,” said Allie. She then told him their story, from the very beginning, starting with the first day of the zombie outbreak.
    “And I thought the undead were dangerous,” said Justice. “You guys have been through a lot of shit, especially your sister. I guess if she can handle being kidnapped a few times, getting bitten by a zombie, and watching her parents murdered, she’s probably doing alright at the moment. Sounds like a tough chic.”
    “I hope she’s doing alright ,” said Allie.
    “So, what’s your story?” asked Kylie.
    He shrugged. “It’s pretty boring compared to yours.”
    “I doubt it,” she answered. “You can tell us if you want. Did you lose a lot of friends and family?”
    He rubbed a hand over his face and sighed. “Well, I’ve always been kind of a loner , so I didn’t lose many friends, just acquaintances and, well, my family.”
    “What about a girlfriend?” asked Allie, her cheeks turning pink.
    He smiled, grimly. “I lost my girlfriend long before the zombies showed up.”
    “What do you mean?” she asked.
    He paused for a few seconds and then answered. “Well, she left for college last fall and decided she didn’t want a long distance relationship. End of story.”
    “ Aw... were you heartbroken?” asked Allie, putting a hand over her chest.
    His jaw tightened. “ Heartbroken? No. She was too pushy. Always trying to change me and everything.”
    Allie raised her eyebrows. “Like… how?”
    He shrugged. “Guess she wasn’t crazy about the way I presented myself to other people or the fact that I wasn’t interested in college. She probably thought I was white trash, since she grew up on the other side of the tracks. Her parents certainly thought the worst of me.”
    Kylie gasped. “Oh my God, did they actually tell you that?”
    “They didn’t have too. I could see it in their eyes and the way they spoke to me. I’m sure they were relieved when Lexus went to college and I stayed in Georgia.”
    “Lexus?” snorted Allie.
    He smiled.
    “Do you know if she’s still alive?” asked Kylie.
    “Nope.”
    “I had a boyfriend before the zombies,” said Kylie.
    Allie’s jaw dropped. “What?! Who ?”
    “Well, he wasn’t my boyfriend , yet , but I know he liked me. He slipped me a note in class one day, asking if I had picked out a date for the Sadie Hawkin’s Dance.”
    “But, the Sadie Hawkin’s Dance isn’t until the eighth grade,” said Allie. “That’s like, next year.”
    “That’s how I know he liked me,” smiled Kylie. “He was already reserving a spot.”
    “Who was it?” asked Allie.
    “Jason Peterson,” said Kylie.
    Justice’s mind drifted away as the girls droned on about boys and dances they’d never get to enjoy. Although he’d been bitter about Lexus for months after their breakup, at least his high-school-years had been interesting. Unfortunately, the two girls beside him wouldn’t ever get to go to dances, parties, or even Homecoming games. Everything in the world had changed, nothing would ever be the same for them and he suddenly felt very fortunate.
    “Oh crap,” said Allie, pointing ahead , as they reached downtown Rockford. “Looks like we’ve found where all of the zombies have congregated.”
    “Roll up your window,” said Justice.
    The streets and sidewalks were crowded with zombies in every shape, form, and decomposition. Hundreds staggered through the rain, searching for food.
    “You’d think the water would clean them up a bit,” said Kylie. “ make them appear less… gruesome.  I don’t know about you but I
