(Remus' POV)

It's pretty early right now, like 5 in the morning but I can't fall back asleep. Halfway through the night my brother and Virge switched places driving with Hadley and Derek. I haven't been able to move since Emile and I fell asleep last night because he's literally on top of me but it's okay with me.

"Oh my, did I fall asleep on you?" Emile asked sleepily as he woke up, "I'm so sorry, Rem."

"It's ok, Em, I don't mind," I told him. He's always worried that he's being too clingy or annoying which is surprising to me since he was basically a therapist...without a degree, but I suppose a zombie apocalypse makes different people act a different way.

Personally, I'm not as disturbed as everyone else is.

"Hey, Rem?" Emile asked, "Are you scared life will never go back to the way it was?" I'm surprised that Emile asked this question, despite him being almost constantly anxious, although, he usually tries to not show it.

"Um, well I guess I haven't thought about it that much," I reply, "I mean we have a little bit of an antidote or at least a plan for one." I've never been one to be extremely positive but something about Emile makes me want to be. I take a quick look around the room before I notice that Emile has cuddled back up to me and is about to fall back asleep. I rolled over to cuddle him and we both fell asleep.

Pointless. This is pointless. I thought as we drove along. What are we going to do? There is no way that we will survive this.

Another thought pushed its way into my mind. What if we do? Things will never be the same again.

I sat with my arms crossed, staring at the back of the van. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I tensed a little and the hand left. I looked up to see Talyn standing there.

"Are you okay?" they asked.

I half-smiled. "Yeah...I guess I am."

"What's going on?" Talyn asked sitting next to me.

"Pointless. This is pointless. What are we going to do? There is no way that we will survive this." I told them repeating my thoughts from earlier. "What if we do? Things will never be the same again."

"I know..." Talyn replied looking at me. "It will be alright, yeah?"

"I guess," I replied. But I wasn't sure if they were trying to convince me, or themselves.

Talyn and I talked for a little while longer.

I didn't know if we were going to be okay or if they were all going to live.

But I did know one thing, no matter what things were never going to be the same again.
