Andro gathers them in Kristoff's family living room.

Not only them, even Aries was there.

"Before I start, I want you to watch this clip and read these documents"

Andro said.

Everyone takes the papers and reads. Frowning.

"This again?" Kristian sighs then his hand stilled seeing the next page.

Aries is also awkward.

Looking at the words inside of it.

He reaches his hand toward Kristian and Kristian slaps it away turning the next pages.

Aries didn't say anything and just retracts his hand.

Karl and Becky both are quiet.

Then they look at Kristoff and Andro.

"I am sure you two didn't give this file without showing any proof?" Karl said calmly.

Kristoff is holding Andro's hand. He squeezed Andro's hand from nervousness.

Andro pats their entwined hands.

"We have this video. This guy is our proof. And all the things inside the papers are all from his confession."

Andro played the video.

Aries, Kristian and the two adults are staring at the video.

Kristoff hides his face to Andro's chest.

Andro released their hand and hugged him.

Consoling him.

Andro knows that the one who is the most frightened right now is Kristoff.

Because he first hand experienced everything on Apocalypse.

He died there.

After everyone in his family died.

He is the last one to live.

And he didn't even live more than an hour because he was thrown ,no , kick out of the vehicle.

This introvert guy who would never risk his quiet life in going in a dangerous casino, illegally playing inside the place he never had any experience, dealing with people he doesn't know for the sake of money, having sex with him for the sake of earning guns.

Kristoff did everything because of his fear in Apocalypse.

He doesn't show it, he doesn't express it, but he was scared. So scared that he does everything these past few months for the sake of it.

Even if nobody believes him.

Kristian looks at his brother.

He felt sorry for Kristoff.

He is the one closest to his brother.

Why does he not realize it?

Kristoff's desperation?

Isn't it the same desperation from the guy in the video?

Though the temperament is different.

Though they have different ways, the two are both clinging to live.

Scared.

Panic.

Fear.

After they all calm down.

Karl decided to ask Andro and Aries to leave first.

Andro knows that he needs to go but Kristoff is gripping his hand tightly.

He feels heartbroken but he has to go for now.

"I'll be back." Andro said, kissing Kristoff's lips.

Hugging him.

Kristoff nods.

Aries wants to hold Kristian's hand but Kristian looks away.

"Let's talk tomorrow."

Kristian nodded but didn't say anything.

After the two left, their family is quiet.

"Baby, do not worry. We saw it and believed you." Becky started.

Kristoff looks down saying nothing.

"Kristoff, will you tell us what happened to our family in your memory?"

Karl asks softly and with the hint of coaxing.

Kristoff slowly lifts his eyes.

"I..."

"It's fine. Just tell us." Kristian sits near him hugging his shoulder.

"Whatever it is. We will believe it."

Kristoff nods.

***

I stared as my brother was being beaten by my father badly.

Mother is shouting and crying begging his husband not to hurt his son anymore.

Big brother is fed up with father and said he will never come back to this stupid useless family.

And father said he disowned big brother.

After Big brother left.

Father and Mother have an argument.

Father raised his hand against mom in the midst of their confrontation.

Mom is shocked.

Dad is shocked.

But the hand that hits Mom already landed.

Mom and Dad stop sharing the same bed.

They will barely greet each other.

There is no longer any joy in the family.

Dad spent less and less time at home.

Mom quietly watches the house and still works as if nothing is wrong.

I am all alone in the house.

It was cold.

I am scared everyday.

After a year, I woke up and saw my Mother and Father talking again.

But the atmosphere is strange.

They are both panicking.

Mom is crying.

Dad is consoling her.

When they saw me they told me to go to my room and never open it. They put half the food in the house to my room.

'Wait for help. Everything will be alright. Do not open the door even if it's us.' Dad said.

Mom hugs and kisses me.

Saying everything will be alright.

I don't understand.

'Never peek outside the window.'

They said.

But it's already been two days.

Why didn't they come to talk to me?

I sneak a peek outside and see people walking like zombies outside.

No.

They are zombies.

I see our neighbor angrily smashing a chair toward a walking corpse. It blew the half of the head but it was still moving and it bit him.

I was scared so I got out of the room to check Mom and Dad.

Mom and Dad are both sleeping near the door.

I was scared.

There is a scratching sound on the door.

It is getting louder.

I woke up Mom and Dad and told them what I heard.

They both look at the wooden door.

'Let's go to my room.'

We stay in my room.

There is a loud banging sound below.

Our house was besieged.

Mom and Dad hug me.

Telling me that they love me. And if they died and I survive to see my brother.....ask for forgiveness.

We survived a long time because zombies didn't walk up the stairs.

But one zombie is using his body to crawl the stairs.

It will be a matter of time before it climbs up the stairs.

We are losing hope.

It is good that electricity and water supply is still available but we didn't dare drink from the water.

Water in the sink came from reservoirs and it might be contaminated.

I lost count how long it was.

Mother and Dad are planning to commit suicide. The only reason why they hesitate is because of me. They don't want me to die.

Big brother with Aries and his gang arrived and took us away.

Dad and Mom are happy to see my brother is safe.

But after a year that they didn't meet and that the feelings turned cold.

Their pride refused to acknowledge this feeling of gladness and appreciation.

The first three months were alright.

Aries has a lot of pressure since he is the leader of the group and the main tank. While our whole family is nothing but a burden.

One time, Father Karl suggested something out of the blue and Aries angrily snapped at him.

That resulted from argument and father's dissatisfaction.

Since Big brother Kristian is finally back to the family. He does everything father and mother told him.

When Aries snaps at father, he had a huge argument with Big brother and then their relationship turned sour.

They met Chaser along the fifth month.

Brother and Aries are already fighting a lot but they never stop sharing a room.

But their argument starts getting more intense after Chaser became part of their group.

Big brother Kristian always finds excuses to bully Chaser and Aries didn't let big brother Kristian say so much because Chaser is one of their good fighters.

Dissatisfaction toward big brother and our family started to occur in the group.

Chaser is risking his life to find resources so Aries's group protects Chaser and there is nothing wrong with that, it is only logical since they see him as their comrade.

But father, mother and big brother Kristian feel that they are just making excuses to get rid of us.

Big brother Kristian breaks up with Aries.

But it is just an impulse, a decision you made out of anger.

Still, Aries refused to let big brother Kristian and our family go.

He said he will still bring us to the safe zone.

Our family reluctantly agreed.

One night, Kristian hears Chaser confess to Aries.

And Aries nonchalantly accepted.

Big brother Kristian was hurt.

He never stopped loving Aries.

He never wanted to really break up.

But Aries accepted Chaser?

Mother and Father saw Big Brother crying.

They were hurt for his sake.

After a whole night of thinking, they decided to break off with Aries's group.

Aries begs brother not to go.

He wanted to tie brother but Kristian begs Aries at the same time.

'I can't stay with you anymore. I no longer want to see you.'

These words he said.

Made Aries stop and let them go.

After we leave their group, we encounter a group of zombies unknowingly.

Until we found out a strange thing, Brother Kristian's backpack has a small smeared fresh blood on it that attracts a huge amount of zombies.

It was too late before we realized.

Dad is the first to stop and let us run away.

Mother refused to leave father and asked us to go.

Then Big brother exchanges the rest of his food for my ticket to ride the van filled with other survivors.

I was kicked off by a panicking woman....

And died.

Kristoff is trembling as he tells them everything.

"I am useless."

Kristoff said.

This is the main reason why he feared Apocalypse.

He is incapable of helping his family.

A/N :

Shoutout to all people washing their clothes, hand washing their clothes.

Washing machine users should never complain!

Wahahahhaha.

It took me 3 hours to wash all my clothes and my hands are hurting and trembling while typing this chapter.

Lolols.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for reading♡

Finally Kristoff able to tell his story to his family.
