Ps. You Are My Happiness 22. Butterflies
Remember this, that very little is needed to make a happy life -Marcus Aurelius ~.~ I try to get out of his grip, but he stops me. "Andrea. Are you sure he didn't do anything to you?" Henry asks me all of a sudden. "Ivan?" I ask. "Yeah." "Why would he..." I murmur, completely confused about the whole thing. "Do you know what Eric and I saw?" Henry asks Sasha. "What?" she asks. "We saw Ivan, right here, simply walking past zombies, and they didn't attack him!" he explains. I feel surprised that they have got to know the truth. However, Ivan looks unfazed about the whole thing. He looks calm, as if it doesn't bother him. Eric cautiously walks to Ivan and grabs his arm. "Eric, what are you doing?" I try to stop him, but Henry pulls me back from my upper arm. I watch as Eric tears apart the bandage of Ivan's injured arm, which hides the bite mark he got from the zombie inside the ventilation tube. "Don't do it!" I shout out. "Ivan, stop him!" But Ivan doesn't move. He waits
Ps. You Are My Happiness 23. Simple Dreams
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness -Ralph Waldo Emerson~.~ Ivan brings up our intertwined hands and kisses mine. As his lips press on my knuckles, I feel my body burning up. I look at him in surprise, and he gives me a smile.His other hand holds my face and brings me close to him. I silently gasp when our lips almost touch. Eric takes a turn on the wheel, and so I jerk forward, making our lips meet. I quickly pull back, feeling butterflies once again."What are you doing?" I whisper-ask."I don't know.""Uh-""Do you wanna marry me, buy an apartment and a cat?" he asks.I chuckle at his words, "Is that your dream?""Yeah. Well, I did have higher expectations before. Wanted to travel the world and eat all the food and stuff. But with this apocalypse, I realised that just living peacefully is a luxury. I just want to live like before.""You are right."Our eyes bore in the darkness, and it's like something is shared between us.Ivan and I both lean i
Ps. You Are My Happiness 24. Murdering Visions
It is only possible to live happily ever after on a daily basis-Margaret Bonanno~.~"Hey, didn't you sleep?" I ask, walking up to Ivan."Good morning. I couldn't sleep. I have no idea why. Maybe I am too tired or scared to sleep.""Scared? Why are you scared?" I ask."Maybe... because I am afraid things won't work the way I expect. What if we fail to find a cure?" he asks."Your plan is to do some tests here and then later go to Cargo, right? Even if we might not find the cure here, we'll be able to find it there. Technology is better there than here now." I explain."You are right. I am thinking too much.""Do you want me to put you to sleep?" I ask."I am not a child.""Tsk. You don't have to be a child, Ivan. And you are right. I have put little kids to sleep when I used to work part-time in a daycare." I say with a proud voice."Then put me to sleep after eating with me."He adds another pack of instant noodles to the pot and starts making some for me. I wait for the noodles to

So the packing starts before everything, and everyone seems to be excited about leaving already."I want Ivan! Where is Ivan??" Bailey yells across the hall in search of Ivan, who's currently making me a bowl of instant noodles."What do you want, nerd?" Ivan asks in a playful tone."I want your blood," Bailey says in a sinister way."Are you a vampire or something?" I ask, holding out the bowl so Ivan can put the noodles in. Once he does, he starts washing the pan he used to make the noodles.Ivan is my personal noodles maker."I am not." Bailey says. "I have to make the antidote, guys. I can do it quickly. In two days' time if I get Ivan's blood sample.""Ohh." Ivan and I say in unison.Ivan follows Bailey.

“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” -Abraham Lincoln ~.~ When night comes, everyone goes to sleep. I get up from the floor mattress and go to Ivan's room. I don't know why. But my feet take me there. I walk over to his bed and look at his peaceful sleeping face. "It's a bit creepy to watch someone sleep," he says without opening his eyes. "Tsk. And too creepy to pretend sleep." "I was actually sleeping. I am a light sleeper." "Damn. I can't imagine how you sleep." "What are you doing here? Missed me?" he asks. "Not really." "Says the guy who kissed me twice in my sleep-" I quickly cover his mouth with my hand. "Stop using that against me." I hiss. He holds my hand and pulls me toward him with a smirk. I fall on top of him, and when I try to get away, he puts his arm around my waist. "Why don't you sleep here tonight?" he suggests. "Really? Wouldn't it be awkward?" I ask. "I am going to sleep next to you once we escape this country anyway
Ps. You Are My Happiness 27. Escaping The Hellhole
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier -Mother Theresa ~.~ (The Day) Each one of us prepared a backpack for the short journey. I had mine filled with some samples we found in the laboratory, and Ivan has his one filled with those as well. Others have gadgets to lure the zombies away. And last but not least, Eric and I have the smoke signal guns safely tucked in our pockets. It's early in the morning, and we decided not to choose night because of the smoke signals. At night no one would notice the smoke signal at all. That makes it even more difficult as zombies see well during daylight. We put on our bags and leave for the vehicle. As we discussed last night, we are going to enter the deadliest part of the city, which has the most number of zombies than other areas. I can remember the last time I was there. It was swarming with zombies. Sasha made a sketch of the area and drew out a plan on how we could travel by vehicle for a mile or two and get

“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.”-James Oppenheim~.~As Ivan drives in the other direction, the mindless zombies run after it. We take that as the green light to move. We quickly make our way through the streets toward the supermarket from before. We hide behind walls and sneak around the supermarket. As we come across the parking lot, we can see many zombies lurking among the vehicles."Damn it," Eric mutters."Let's wait for Ivan and proceed. We are almost there." Henry says, looking at the green meadow ahead of us, which is across the parking lot.So we hide and wait for Ivan behind the supermarket. It takes almost half an hour for Ivan to appear. He almost runs past us but stops when he sees us.He joins us and hides behind the supermarket as well."We'll have to make it through the parking lot," he says."Yeah. And there's a field afterwards. So surely, once we are out of the parking lot, the zombies will spot us. We only get a

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved-George Sand~.~Bailey takes out a syringe and stabs Eric's neck quickly. She injects the substance inside, but my heart feels so cold, thinking it may be too late. Just as she does that, my hands get pulled back, and a soldier cuffs me. I turn to him in confusion."What are you doing??" I ask."It's for the safety of others." the tall guy says before turning to the rest of the soldiers. "Cuff them and check their bodies. Take the infected man into a separate lab.""Wait!" I exclaim. "Can I meet your captain? His name is Luke Plowden. One of my friends. And stop handcuffing us! We are not infected!""Right." the rude man says before looking at Eric, who looks sane but in a trance. And the rude man's attention goes to Ivan, who has his arm bandaged. "Show us your arms."I become impatient. This guy is just too much!A soldier walks to Ivan and removes the bandages forcefully, then reveals his fresh marks on the arms."Were
