Alexia gave him a smile. "Are you sure?" she asked. She sat next to him on the couch. "You don't have to if you don't want to." she told him. She got up and found his hair. She poked at his head. "COme on, just because I can't see doesn't mean I can't hear whaere you are." she laughed, stopping her little poking spree. His hair was soft and light. It smelled like on of those shampoos that people often used. SHe gave a light laugh.
Flick sighed deeply and sat on the couch, hyperventilating. Everything was so close, everyone was so close to knowing he had done this. He looked over at Hayley. "Is something wrong?" he asked, but it was a horrible question. Everything was wrong! He laughed a little for emphasis, but he didn't think it was possible.

ALexia turned her thoughts to something else. FLick hadn't heard what she'd said earlier, and if she told anyone they might kill him. SHe went over and sat next to Easton. Flick-wasn't he with the others now? SHe wondered why she hadn't h=of thought to take him, but it was late at night. She couldn't help but wonder. WHat would the others do if they found out, other than killing him? SHe didn't want to have to hear his death. SHe didn't want any one to be dead. ANd yet-it still happened. She let a slow stream of tears flow down her cheeks. Easton was being kind, and so were the others-but if they found out about FLick, he was dead.
Hayley looked over to Flick and laughed alittle. "Nope, everything's fine." She smiled seeing the scientist's face full of worry. "Hey look at the bright side..." Thinking she wondered if there was a bright side but laughed soon after. "Hmmm wellthe sun's gonna come out tomorrow. I guess thats a bright side." She turned around and hoped he would feel better. Something else was bugging Flick, somthing Hayley didnt know about.
Flick shrugged and nodded at Hayley. For some reason, talking to her made him feel better about what was going on. He felt safer. Maybe it was because she was a firefighter or something, but he didn't think so. He felt so good, like he could take on anything with her at his side. The thoughts went away when the pounding on the door returned.

Hayley turned to the door and waited a couple minutes listening to the moans and pounds of the people outside. When it finally stopped Hayley sighed and looked back at Flick. "How about we lighten the mood up alittle more? " She whispered as some of the residents began to fall asleep. "Soooo...your a scientist so what do you study?" She moved alittle closer to th sofa and listened so he wouldnt have to talk loud.
Alexia turned from East for a bit, wiping her face. The others-would they be alright? Hayley, Lilly, Flick...they were all locked in that room with crazed infected people banging on the door. They had destroyed her door-who says they can't destroy that one? But she remembered the feel of the door. It was made nearly all out of metal. So and maybe they were safe. Laying on the sofa, she felt her eyelids getting heavey and leaning on Easton, she fell asleep, these thoughts racing through her head like a swarm of agitated bees.
Flick hesitated. Sweat started beading up on his forehead. "Uh...medicine," he said, fidgeting. He tried to smile a little, thinking if he could make it through this without giving too much information. Everything would be fine if he laid low and stayed cool. He just hoped he could.

Hayley waatched Flick's facial expression aand decided not to talk about what he did anymore for some reason. "Medicine, thats cool. So are you always this nervous when talking to other people? Or is it just me?" She smiled and stared at Flick wondering what he was thinking about.
Flick let out a huff of laughter. "I'm not sure. It's just, all of this. It's just so nerve racking," he said, forcing himself to stop fidgeting. He wiped sweat from his brow and listened to a loud moan outside the door. He looked at his feet. "I guess I'm not like this really, but this is a different thing," he stated.
