Mikayla was grateful for Aerius' help with her father. She felt useless today. Her mind was was trying to comprehend what had happened today. It had started out as a normal day. It was supposed to be a good day. The Buckeyes were supposed to play their first home game. Her dad was visiting and they were supposed to have fun with Aiden and now...The city was in lock down, zombies were killing people, and Aiden was dead. She wasn't ready to accept it yet. She kept checking her phone, hoping he'd send a text. It would never come, though. Mikayla was in denial about it. At least her father seemed okay. Even with her nursing training, she would have been useless to him. You weren't supposed to treat your own family anyway.<br/><br/>Training was a small distraction from what was going on. Mikayla went through the motions and it was clear to Tara that Mikayla would have to be watched for a while. At least, Ryan was doing okay. Maybe him needing help would keep Mikayla's mind on the living. Allie wasn't much better. She was grieving Brock and wishing she could turn back time and made sure he had taken a damn shower after practice. Although, Brock probably always would have been doomed. His roommate was Justin, the person everyone was starting to believe brought the infection with him from his visit home in Georgia. There was probably nothing that could have been done to help Brock, but Allie wasn't ready to accept that yet either.<br/><br/>All three girls hoped that the end would come soon but there were lots of miles between them and Chicago. Tara and Allie said good night. Mikayla was about to leave, she planned to stay with her father, but stopped and told Aerius.<br/><br/>"Thank you for helping my dad."<br/><br/>She wasn't ready yet to talk about Aiden but she did want Aerius to know she was grateful for what he did for her father. Ryan would probably be dead if not for him.
