Xander had honestly thought he was goner it was just waiting for it all to end. He struggled and fought to the last but the zombie people just kept coming and grabbing at him. He kept trying not to think, so his last thoughts wouldn't be of loneliness.

So he was honestly surprised when he felt someone pulling the zombies off him. It was when the person touched him that he looked up and saw Helen kicking major zombie ass. In fact, alls he could do for a moment was stare in awe and thankfulness as his loneliness was proved wrong. So much so that it gave him a second wind and, even though he was covered in scratches and bruises that hurt like none other, he was able to stand beside her and fight back. "Helen, I've never been so glad to see you!"
