saying.
    “You saved her?” he asks in disbelief.
    “Yeah you know that thing you should have done with Devin instead of hanging out in your apartment with whoever the hell she is.” My voice is thick with irritation as I motion to Becky.
    She is still standing where Tony left her watching all of us with a disgusted look on her face. The flesh eaters haven’t been here long and I have yet to meet a person that I can even think about feeding to them, but this girl seems like she needs to be supper for a group of them as soon as we leave this damn apartment.
    “Liv we need to go I can’t stay here,” I say turning my attention back to her.
    “Where would we go?” Liv asks me. As soon as the words leave her mouth Becky the bimbo speaks up.
    “We can go to my family home in Florida. They have two guest houses right on the beach.” She looks up at Tony.
    I grit my teeth knowing that means if they say yes then she has to live.
    “Excuse me but who in the fuck said that you were a part of the we I was talking about?” Liv blurts out. I have always loved the way she says what she is thinking.
    She looks to Liv and then turns her worried eyes to Tony and I can see her begging him not to leave her.
    “Tony how the fuck do you know her?” I spit out hoping she can tell in my voice how much I don’t like her.
    “She lives down the hall,” is all he gives in response.
    “Whatever we do, let’s do it now.” I look from Liv to Emily.
    “Do you have anywhere else in mind safer than houses on the beach?” Becky asks with a smug smile on her face.
    As soon as we make it, that bitch is dead. I stand from the couch and take Emily’s hand.
    “Let’s go.” I motion to Becky to walk out the door and she shakes her head no vigorously.
    I grind my teeth once again and reach around her opening the door and shove her out with a little more force than needed.
    “Wait!” Liv yells at me.
    “You and Emily don’t need to go out first. Let me.” She twirls Mr. Bat around and gives Becky a smug smile, “Let a real woman handle this.” And she walks out the door.
    I shake my head and laugh then look at Becky with a you-are-a-pus look.
    “All clear,” Liv says as she motions for us to follow her.
    Gripping Emily’s hand tight I make my way out the door. I look back at Tony who has Becky’s arms wrapped tight around his waist . She better hope Liv doesn’t see that shit. She will be dead for sure. I smile at that thought.
    We make our way down the stairs and at the bottom I can see a pack of hungry flesh eaters trying their damnedest to climb the steps, but they can’t seem to get their feet to move the way they want them to, up.
    Liv holds her hand up for us to stop. “Wait here, let me clear us a path,” she says.
    I cut my eyes towards Tony “You’re really going to let her do it on her own? Move it!” I yell.
    Becky tightens her arms on his waist and shakes her head no. He pulls her arm from his waist and smiles at her. “I have to help Liv now,” he says looking around the hallway for something he can use as a weapon.
    “Shit there isn’t anything here!” he says in frustration.
    “Forget it Tony I have it. I have fought off more than this and managed to keep everyone with me safe,” Liv barks over her shoulder as she takes the first swing with the bat knocking the first flesh eater down into the three behind him.
    She Jumps down off the last step and around them so they follow her away from the stairs. She swings her bat around and knocks the advancing flesh eater on its ass. Then quickly delivers the killing blow to the head. The next flesh eater lunges toward her, falling on the lifeless body at her feet. She takes advantage of its clumsiness and whacks it on the back of its head splitting its skull. The last of the three makes its way back over to the stairs and manages to make it up the first step. Emily screams and digs her fingers into my hand. I quickly pick her up and hold her tight.
    “Oh no
