Chapter 8
"If my phone still worked, I'd take a picture." Brendon whispered to Dallon as the two looked at the scene in front of them.
Josh was holding the girl tight against his chest with one arm and the other arm was mindlessly playing with Tyler's hair, who was asleep with his head resting on the higher part on Josh's thigh. It was really adorable.
"I'm sorry." A choked statement came from Josh. The two were startled but walked up to him quietly.
"Sorry? For what?" Dallon asked.
"If I wasn't so clumsy we wouldn't be in this mess, if I just patched myself up better this wouldn't of happened, we would still be safe. This little girl would be safe, you guys would be safe. Tyler would be safe." Josh cried, a very sad scene, the known tough guy breaking down like this.
"Josh, this isn't your fault. And hey, if this didn't happen we wouldn't of met Patrick and Pete. Who are lovely might I add." Brendon told him.
"Not to mention, you got hurt saving me and this girl. And you helped everyone else during the fight that entire time. If anyone was backed to a wall, you were there to help them. Let us help you." Dallon told him honestly. Patrick and Pete nodded from the door.
"Also, it's kinda our job to help people. I also have a feeling that you have saved these people a couple of times from what we've heard." Patrick told him.
"Dude it's fine though, we all mess up a little. Also you still killed off the zombies while bleeding out. Only a badass could do that." Pete added.
Josh smiled saying a quiet 'thank you' then looks down a little as Tyler moves his head.
"You're too hard on yourself, you've saved my life 3 times." Tyler mumbled into Josh's leg. Too tired to even noticed how much he startled and flustered Josh just then. Who immediately moved his hand away. "And put your hand back, that felt good."
Josh blushed more, but continued to play with Tyler's hair anyway. The guys all "awe'd" then left them to do whatever they pleased.

"What are we gonna do Pete?" Patrick asked his best friend.
"We should ask if we could join them." Pete suggested.
"But do you really want to leave the safety of the hospital?" Patrick asked.
"We can't stay here forever 'Trick. Also what if we can find a cure? We're gonna need their help, and they need medics. Josh seems like he'll do pretty much anything to save this group." Pete pointed out.
"Actually they all look like they'll save each other if given the chance." Patrick added while Pete nodded in agreement. The two got up and made their way towards Brendon and Dallon, they looked them and smiled.
"What's up guys?" Brendon asked.
"We wanted to know if we could join your group." Pete spoke up.
"You guys saved Josh's life, of course you can join." Dallon smiled at them.
"Yea dudes, let's go talk to the others." Brendon motioned and got up. They all walked to Josh's room
"-ley? No?" Tyler asked.
"Oh, what about Halsey? She saved me when this first started. You like that one?" Josh asked, then laughed. "Ok Halsey it is."
(A/N Just think of Halsey as a different person, because the girl is the Halsey we know and love.)
"So Halsey?" Brendon asked from the door. The 3 looked up and nodded. Josh was now sitting up, looking a lot better.
"Hey guys." Tyler spoke up from his chair, "What's up?"
"Well Patrick and Pete wanted to know if they could join us." Dallon told them.
"Dude of course, you saved me. No doubting." Josh smiled.
"Got a ride?" Tyler asked, the two nodded.
"I have my 2015 Corolla." Pete informed them, "Has really good MPG, and is decently fast."
"Then yea, your set."
