I got up early and saw Lux downstairs looking out of the window seeming awkward. "Are you hungry?" I ask Lux with a nervous smile as I pull out some waffles and let them glance at the fridge for other options. Blizzard scratched at the door, we give her a lot of food so she usually stays outside since she's safe and zombies don't come after dogs often. I let her in but she stared at Lux for a second before dashing upstairs to get Willow. "I will take a coffee and whatever you want to give me." Lux said casually as they yawn and rest their head on the counter, I made a few coffees to pass around to everyone. I made some waffles and eggs before getting the leftovers and giving them to blizzard, everyone ate and I glanced at Lux before walking over outside to see them. "So will you be staying for a while?" I ask Lux who just looks into the distance. "I need a ride to my base." Lux replies as they lean on the wall.
"Well, we can always give you a ride. How far?" I sigh as I look at the car, "About an hour or two away." Lux answers looking over at me. "I'll take you then. It's fine, when will we go?" I ask, "Whenever you have time." Lux answers. "We can leave tomorrow and i'm bringing Haro. Okay?" I opened the door to the house. "Fine, i'm going to stay out here or a while." Lux seemed relaxed so I nodded and went inside. I decided to do a walk in the area we were in and after so long somehow I got lost so I started to walk back but was confronted by a few zombies. "Shoot, not the right day dear." Kyra said in a monotone voice as she went to grab the gun on her waistband but her eyes widened in shock as she realized the gun was gone.
"I dropped it, damn. Darlings you DEFINITELY chose the wrong day." Kyra took in a breath before dashing quickly away but froze in reaction when she heard a loud bang from a gun, she looked back and stared at the dead zombies on the ground and Lux standing there holding a gun. "Lux, when did you get here, did you follow me, really?" I was slurring words again so I took a breather and Lux just nodded to all my questions. "I felt as if something odd would happen so I followed you.. Are you alright?" Lux asked but I was too stunned to speak. "Ms Maxoy?" Lux joked hoping to catch my attention, my heart skipped a beat and I giggled lightly before nervously just shaking my head to try not to feel out of it as I walked with Lux back to the house. Blizzard was waiting and quickly jumped on me licking me, Willow asked me if I was okay and Haro interrogated me. I assured them that they thanked Lux many times but they just smiled and hugged me, 'Why did we grow so close when it's been about a day? It's so strange but they feel like a sibling or best friend to me' I thought as we stopped hugging and I went back to my room hoping to sleep the whole night but instead I was kept up with many thoughts and regrets.
When I had finally fallen asleep I was awoken to running and muffled talking. I yawned before slowly getting up and stumbling over to the door and opening it, "What's going on?" I asked Lux who was passing me since I subconsciously put my hand on their shoulder which caused Lux to look back. "Willow's having a fit after some strange dream about her sister, I don't even understand?" Lux seemed confused but I dashed to Willows room and saw Haro standing by Willow awkwardly failing to comfort her which resulted in Willow to just cry. "Willow it will be okay." I called out as I shoved Haro away and hugged Willow while rubbing a circle motion on her back with worry. "I know it hurts Willow, I may not know exactly how you feel but we all had to deal with her loss. She was an amazing kid, the hurt and pain you feel and try to hide is okay and all but the hiding part is not. Don't bottle up your emotions because what you feel is fine and if you need to talk we are here for you! please just talk with us."
I spoke calmly and Willow seemed to cry more but calm down by the end and slowly fall asleep. I left Willow's room and told everyone its fine and we should all just sleep. I went back to my room and forced my tired eyes shut before slowly falling asleep hating that I was reminded of Nicole and now felt pain trying to forget.
