The End

Chapter 3

Anthony-

The sound of the gun being fired off radiates throughout the room. We all cover our ears and I hear loud ringing. After a few minutes I look up and see Junior charging at me. He grabs a fistful of my t-shirt and punches me in the nose.

"I said no hurting R.J!" He growls.

I wipe the blood from my nose and look at him, rage coursing through me. " Mad at the fact that I knew R.J better than you to know that the thing on the chair wasn't him?!"

He lunges at me again and this time I'm ready as I land a punch to his bottom lip.

"Guys you have to stop." Mckenzie says getting between me and Junior.

"Move." I hiss at her.

"No not until you stop." she says.

Junior stares past her and glares at me. "Mckenzie listen for once. Move out of my way." He says in a deep threatening tone.

She looks at me then to him realizing the how bad the situation was. "Please guys your friends for God sake. Cut it out." When we don't move she sighs and stares at jace with a pleading look.

He walks over and stands next to Mckenzie. "cut it out. This is a disrespectful way to honor R.J memory."

Junior laughs "R.J loved wrestling. He's probably watching and rooting for me to win."

Jace doesn't budge "I don't care either way this isn't right."

Mckenzie walks up to me and whispers "stop you already took his last hope he has a right to be mad."

I glare at her is she really saying that crap to me right now. Like did she expect me to let Junior punch my nose?

"I know Junior has a right to be mad," I whisper, "But I'm not going to let him get away with punching me either."

she looks over at junior and back at me, "I'll go talk to him. But please stop this." With that she walks off to junior.

I watch as she whispers to him. Whatever she said relaxed him. He let's out a shaking sigh and says "I'm going to my room." Than he walks out.

I went to the bathroom and looked at my nose. I was relieved to see it wasn't broken.

Thinking about what happened was just upsetting me even more. No one got onto him for starting the fight. No one thanked me for putting that thing down. I put the lid of the toilet down and sat. This was so frustrating I did the right thing and not one thank you from anyone.

A knock on the door stops my train of thought. I get up and crack the door open to see who it is.

"Hey loser." Angela says barging in and shutting the door.

"What are you doing?" I say not trusting the situation I'm in.

"I wanted to check on you. After seeing you get hit I was worried." She says sweetly. She walks over and sits on the edge of the tub, which was right next to the toilet.

"As you can see I'm good. So you can leave now." I say flatly.

"Do you really want me to?" She says and scoots closer.

"Yes." I say sternly.

"To bad because I don't want to." She playfully says as she runs her hand up my arm.

I stand up, "suit yourself than I'll leave." I walk out of the bathroom with her on the tub still. The look on her face as I left made this day a bit better.

Mckenzie-

We all couldn't sleep last night. I stayed with Junior in the upstairs room so he wouldn't be alone. He was laying down reading a book he found in one of the rooms.

"How the book?" I ask looking at him. We were laying on the bed next to each other, both of us on our backs.

"It sucks." He says not looking away from the book.

"Than why read it?" I ask him rolling over on my side to face him.

"Because life is worse than this crappy book." He says while closing it and putting it down.

"We could talk about something interesting than." I said.

He rolls over and looks at me. "Alright we'll talk about you."

"Me?" I say taken back. This was not what I was expecting.

"Tell me what you were doing before the zombie apocalypse." He states.

"I already tell you everything Junior." I say casually.

"You used to, but for a long time you haven't." He looks at me with curiosity in his eyes. I noticed we wasn't talking the same way we used to but I haven't really changed. So there wasn't anything new to say.

"We'll play 20 questions deal?" I ask putting my hand out for a handshake.

"Deal but only if you don't get dirty minded on me pervert." He teases before shaking my hand.

"I'll start," I say, "dating anyone?"

He laughs, "no, do you wanna change that?" I blush feeling my face go bright red.

"I plead the fifth." I say sheepishly.

"You can't do that," He smiles, "it's a yes or no question."

"To bad," I say face still feeling red. "One thing your thankful for?" I ask.

"That easy it's you." I laugh at that, "Did I say something funny?" He asks curiously.

"Your being cheesy on purpose." I give his shoulder a playful hit.

"I mean it. Without you I would have completely fallen apart. It's thanks to you I'm even able to smile right now." He scoots closer and gently grab my hand in his. "I am so thankful your here with me. Your smile alone makes my day."

I blush and pull my hand away. "Your so sweet but this feels to soon for me." I slowly get off the bed.

He sits up, "I understand Kenzie. Take all the time you need."

With that we walk down stairs ready for the dread that awaits.

Jace-

I stayed in a room downstairs by myself. I would try to go to sleep but everytime I got close, my mom body would pop in my head. I needed to go back to that school and give her a proper burial.

The sound of the gun popped back into my head. It was obvious that it wasn't R.J, but everyone was waiting for Junior to figure it out. No one expected Anthony to come barging in let alone firing at him. Worst part is up until he came into the room I didn't know he was there. I didn't even get to talk to him. I'm happy he's here though, besides Mckenzie I don't have any other of my real friends. Anthony was the type that would stay at my house once in a while. He wasn't my best friend, but he was a good friend.

I hear my stomach growl and I get up and head to the kitchen.

"Hey K.B. I didn't get to tell you yesterday but I'm happy your ok." Mckenzie says while eating a cut up orange. Mckenzie and I dated off and on for a bit. Before that though, she was my K.B. Which stands for Killer Bestfriend.

"Hey K.B," I respond grabbing a box of Captain Crunch from the cabinet. "Hey Junior how are you feeling." I look over at him to see him shrug while popping blueberry into his mouth.

"So how was it with Angela?" Mckenzie says changing the subject.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Well you came in with her so I'm curious how was it being with her out alone." She casually says while studying me.

"We wasn't out long together. But she did help me." I tell mckenzie. I grab some cereal in my hands and shove them in my mouth.

She looks surprised and whispers to Junior. they giggle and Junior nods before Whispering back.

"I want in on the joke." I tell them popping another piece of cereal in my mouth.

"It's nothing important." Junior says. He gets up and stretches, "I'm going to go get R.J body so he can be buried." With that he walks off.

"So K.B will you tell me what you guys said?" I look at her sternly. I hated being left out on things.

"Its literally not important it's just about Angela."She stands up and puts her leftover oranges in a zip lock baggie.

I was about to say something else when Junior comes barging in. "Where the body?" he asks. Looking from Mckenzie to me. I look at her to see she as confused as I felt. Did R.J really survive a bullet to the head?

_______________________________________

Anthony-

I wipe the sweat from my forehead as I put the last of the dirt back in the ground. Everyone went to go do their own thing yesterday and just forgot R.J was still tied up in a chair.

"I got the sign you wanted me to make." Angela comes hurrying over with a wooden cross. In the middle It has a heart with R.J name.

"Thank you."I say grabbing it from her. Last night she wanted to help me bury R.J but I told her to be a look out. Eventually she got bored and went to make a cross for him.

"Why didn't you get anyone else to help." She looks at me curiously. The answer was simple. Mckenzie and Junior was in a room by themselves and I didn't want to interrupt whatever they were doing alone. Jace on the other hand looked like he needed rest and some time alone.

"They were busy." That is all I can tell Angela.

She looks back at the house, "we should get back." With that she heads back off to the house.

I quickly put the cross in the hole and examine my work. It didn't look the best but I was proud of this. "I'll come say hi to you everyday." I whisper before walking back inside.

When I walk back in Junior waiting for me with his arms crossed. If I wasn't trying to be the better man I would punch him again. He doesn't have authority over me so he should quit looking at me like he does.

"What were you doing?" He says sternly with his arms still crossed.

"Your mom." I tell him as I move to the couch and sit down.

"I'm serious." He tells me.

"Who says I wasn't." I'll tell him the truth when he quits acting like Mr. Big Boss.

He pinches the bridge of his nose. "Where did you go? At least tell me that." He sounds frustrated and I realize he going to get upset pretty soon.

"Ok do you really want to know?" I ask.

"Yes." He says waiting for my answer.

"I went to your mom house." I tell him casually.

"GOD DAMMIT!" Junior turns and punches a wall. I bite my lip to hide my laughter. Angela looks at me and gives me a "Are you crazy" look. she was scared of Junior, I never understood why but she was.

Mckenzie sits next to me on the couch. "We're just wanting to know where R.J is."

I try not to laugh some more. Was she really trying to use kindness to get information.

I shrug. "If you just walk out side you will see what I was doing."

She gets up and heads outside. We all follow right behind her. When we get to the grave we see a note wrapped around R.J cross. Mckenzie picks it up and reads it.

She looks at me with fear in her eyes. "Is this a joke Anthony?" I grab the note from her. what was she talking about.

Don't miss him to much. You'll be joining him soon.

I look back at the group and hand the note to Junior. He looks back at me and than to everyone else.

"I don't believe Anthony wrote this." He says quietly. We look around the area for a trace of some one. But we don't see anything. Who was the one who left this note?

Mr. B

Sawyer walks in laughing hysterically. "I left the note you wrote. You should've seen the look on their face when they all read it." I smile that was music to my ears. I want them afraid.

"So what is your plan?" Sawyer asks.

"Whatever I want it to be." I was going to make this my town. Everyone in it could either follow me, or they could suffer.
