"Guilty! Why should I feel guilty? It's not like I am the reason for this apocalypse!" Matt said.
"Yes you are not the reason for it, but as I said you could have said quite many lives if you-"
"SHUT UP!" Matt shouted, "Let's make something clear here! I am not your worker nor are you the boss that I listen to you. I did what I could with the best of my abilities, anything else that I did was to keep me and those around me safe you don't have the right to judge me nor do I care if you even judge me and that too as a villain. Working in movies and series for so long you may think that someone with abilities like me should be a hero trying to save the humans but all I care about right now is the survivability of my family and friends, you and your friends tagged along with me. AM I CLEAR"
Chloe and Emma were stunned silent let alone the two girls behind them. Being a successful Hollywood Actresses there has never been a time where someone shouted at them. Matt not only shouted at them but the way he treated them was the first for them so they didn't know how to react.
"Huff.... mom! dad! I have checked the room right next to this! It's the same as this one we all can stay there, this room originally belonged to these 4 so we shouldn't ask them to adjust with us." Matt stated.
Only now did they came out of their trance but still didn't know what to say, on one hand, they were angry at getting scolded by Matt but if everyone left to stay in the room next to them then they will feel insecure even if there are no zombies left in the hotel.
"Matt! I know you are angry but there is no need to behave like this! Since the next room is like this half of us can sleep there and the other half here no need to leave these girls here alone. Even if there are no zombies in the hotel didn't you said that there would be mutated animals and birds as well we shouldn't take risks like that!" said Jonathan being the level headed father.
"Whatever! I am going to the next room and will leave the door open, whoever wants to stay there can come." Matt said as he waved his hand and left the room.
As Matt left the room everyone stayed silent for a minute or two when Sarah spoke, "It wasn't that Matt didn't want to speak about this but instead he couldn't, the moment we came out of the Forest we were taken by the military to sign non-disclosure agreement to not speak about what we saw me there. At that time Matt had even fought with their commanding officer about this thing being dangerous but the officer threatened Matt that he will throw him in military jail for spreading false rumors if he tried to speak things about these. What he did yesterday was going against the military and for that, he was getting hunted right even before the apocalypse started!"
"Ms. Sarah is right! I came with the Brigadier General who was after Matt for spreading the video even though we knew all of it was true but the government didn't want to let the general public know about it, so he came here to meet Matt's parents and even locked them in the room to force Matt to come here and give himself up otherwise his family would be persecuted for his crimes after we weren't able to track him for the whole day. If the government knew that he had some kind of ability then they would have used much more force than they did and many underhanded methods to get their hands on Matt and all those with abilities such as Matt" explained, Ethan.
After hearing Ethan and Sarah's explanation Chloe and Emma felt guilty for what they said, Chloe more so than Emma as her words were much worse than her. Grace and Abigail though didn't say anything but they clearly showed their support to Emma and Chloe and felt the guilty cause of it.
In the VVIP Room 2
Matt was taking a bath, after the whole day of Zombie hunting he has clearly sweated even if it wasn't the same amount as the others and it wouldn't really affect him much but since he had in the Apocalypse where water wasn't that much available they couldn't bath for many days until they lived near a river or had someone with Water generating ability.
So whenever Matt had the chance he decided to take a bath whether he was dirty and sweaty or not.
Since he was bathing he wasn't that vigilant and didn't know that someone has entered the room but even if he knew he wouldn't care as he would think of them being one of his friends or family, but it wasn't any of those. Chloe was feeling overly guilty and wanted to apologize before her pride stopped her from doing it, hence she came to this room after talking to Emma who had decided to come after Chloe if Matt forgives her and not shout at her anymore.
When Matt came out of the bathroom, his overly sensitive ears heard the footsteps in the living room and found out that someone has already come to the room. Since he was using the bathroom of the giant bedroom he didn't end in the cliche situation of getting out of the bathroom in a towel and getting seen by someone but still the room so Matt only saw the lush black hairs of the girl sitting in the room.
"Well looks like my girlfriend came to cheer me up after seeing my sour mood" Matt mumbled as he removed the towel from his waist and wore the lower of his tracksuit.
"Let's surprise him a little" Matt said as he got out of the bedroom and slowly walked towards the sofa she was sitting on, not wearing anything on his upper body.
Chloe was sitting quietly in the living room thinking what she would say when she sees Matt not knowing about the situation in which she will see him.
"Is my sweet-
