[R/D]chapter twenty four: hardware store

Sam POV~~~~~~~~~~~

"I...I found you...wheres the others?"
(Y/n) asks.

"They're in a building, Jack is missing a piece of his arm...!"
I say, (y/n) Pulls me up and checks my arms, probably looking for a sign that I was hurt.

"We need to get them, and then we need to fucking run."
(Y/n) says, Breathing shakey as they grab my hand and runs.

"Why?? You killed her, we're safe now...!"
I say, but they don't stop running.

"Sam, theres more than one!"
(Y/n) says.

"H-how can you be sure?"
I ask.

"Because the person I saw wasnt a girl, and they didnt have that coat she was wearing."
(Y/n) explains, maybe that's why the trap was so good, theres a small group living here...why didnt we see any bodies?

"Where is it? The building Jack's in?"
(Y/n) asks, I point to the hardware store, I think that's where they are, the smokes starting to clear, but barely.

We run up and open the door, and surely enough, theres Jack, and the infected, Noah.

"Noah....Jack..."
(Y/n) mumbles, a sudden thud comes from outside, not exactly at the door, but it sounds like it's getting closer.

"We need to go, if you're right...we don't have much time."
I say, (y/n) nods and picks up the unconscious Jack.

"Theres always a backdoor in these places, somewhere for them to take big things, we just have to find the backdoor...and hope nobodys waiting for us."
(Y/n) says, walking to the back of the store, me and Noah follow after.

While walking, we hear a bunch of loud banging, coming from where we just were...I think someone else just got in the store.

"What are we gonna do..?"
I whisper, I feel afraid again...

"We cant be that far from a back door, we just have to keep going and hope we dont run into someone."
(Y/n) whispers back,.

It sounds like whoever got in is following us, but I dont think anyone else notices.

"Hey...does anyone else hear that?"
I whisper.

"Just ignore it...we're almost there."
(Y/n) whispers.

I have to trust them...but at the same time, i feel like they need to stop, like we're about to be tackled or hurt.

"I can't, what if we're gonna get hurt?"
I whisper, (y/n) opens their mouth to respond, but something falls from one of the shelves and onto the ground.

(Y/n) grabs my hand with whatever strength they arent using to hold Jack and runs to a hiding spot, an area in the shelves covered by wood and objects, we crouch down and (y/n) puts Jack down.

"Oh no...."
I whimper, (y/n) covers my mouth, staring at me, Noah doesnt look that happy, but I think it's because of the person outside the hiding spot.

Steps get closer towards us, my heart is beating out my chest and I just want to scream and run...but that would hurt everyone else here, if I run, they'll find the others.

"Wha....where am i?"
Jack mumbles, getting up, and screams, we all go up and see two grown adults sprinting towards us...both have an odd symbol on their jackets.

"FUCKING RUN!"
(Y/n) screams, kicking the box towards them and grabbing my hand, running towards the halls, Noah is the one with Jack now, he has Jack on his back...I guess the infected dont fall apart when theres pressure on them...my school lied.

"What's going on?!"
Jack screams.

"The mine trap wasnt an accident or something left from a while ago, theres a fucking murder group in this town!"
(Y/n) explains, and the people finally start running, I guess the box didnt block our path for long.

"Wheres the others? Maybe they can save us...!"
I say.

"They're In a building, guarding it, we just gotta reach there!"
(Y/n) says.

"Hey... hey, is that the backdoor you were talking about?"
I say, pointing to a door with a sign that says 'exit' above it.

"Holy shit, yes!"
(Y/n) says, we're so close...!

Right before we make it out the door, I trip over my own feet, falling to the floor, I try to get up and run with the others, but...I think I sprained my leg really badly.

"Help me! Please!"
I yell, struggling to get on my knees...then i realize something.

...the world is trying to kill me, I've been isolated my entire life...and now all of that is coming back on me, (y/n) saved me from dying, but...i need to, its karma...i can't stay safe forever, I'm not strong, and I'll die in worse ways if i keep going.

I close my eyes, accepting what I know will come, I feel someone pick me up, and start running...I dont even hear my group, or the other people with the jackets, it's like the second I gave up, my entire body stopped fearing..

"Open your damn eyes! C'mon!"
A feint voice says, but it doesnt sound like one of them, it sounds...familiar...its (y/n)!

"(Y/n)...?"
I mumble, opening my eyes, it was (y/n) that picked me up...they risked their life to save me.

"Why did you come back...? I'm not strong, I'll die sooner or later anyways..!"
I say, (y/n) smiles.

"You're not gonna die just because you can't fight, you just need to learn how to be stronger, nobody's just born like that, just trust yourself...and dont just fall like that, scared the shit out of me."
(Y/n) says, chuckling a little at their joke...was it a joke? Oh well.

"Wheres the other guys?"
I ask, (y/n) puts me down...I kinda liked them picking me up though.

"I don't know, once we got through the door, they kinda just....ran off."
(Y/n) says.

"...you dont think they found Oliver and Toby, do you? If theres more than the ones we've seen, they could have some sort of connection, and that could be how those two got here after that lady."
I say.

"If thats true, we need to run."
(Y/n) says.

"Let's fucking go!"
Jack says, already starting to run, but stops in his tracks.

"Uh...where are they?"
Jack asks.

"Follow me."
(Y/n) says, sighing in annoyance.

...they saved me, I cant believe it...they haven't known me for even a week, and they risked their life to save me...I think I'm in love...
