The Dixons Rises

Chapter 21

Right In Front Of Me

*April's P.O.V*

"What are you thinking?" Glenn asked.

"What?" I went back to reality.

"What were you thinking?" I just look down.

"I'm confused," I said, "Why would Deanna gave me this job,"

"Because you're good at killing walkers?" Tara stated.

I shrugged, "She knows I'm the reason why Tyreese died," I mumbled, "Is she trying to make me look at people dying again and it's all because of me?"

Glenn shook his head, "I think she gave you this job so you could get over it, Tyreese's death was not your fault," he said.

"It's mine," Noah butted in.

"No, it was nobody's fault," Tara said.

Then there are walkers upon us, "Well shit," I muttered as I raised my gun and kill the walkers.

Yes I have my crossbow but I can sense I will lose arrows if I use it.

We got into this room and I tried to lock it. But no shit sherlock.

Aiden accidentally shoots a grenade pinned to a SWAT walker's chest. The explosion got him impaled and cause Tara to have a grievous head injury.

I wince as I saw Aiden, right in front of me.

I clasped my hand over my mouth, yes he is a jerk but it's really scary to look a person in this condition.

They helped Tara and I still can't stop staring at Aiden.

"Stop staring and help me!" he hissed.

I moved and tried to pull a knife but he screamed and cause walkers to attract at us, I raised my gun and killed some but they were too many.

Then Glenn, Noah, and Nicholas came as they shoot some walkers, "Where are Eugene and Tara?" I asked.

"Eugene is taking care of Tara, we need to-," Noah was interrupted.

"No time yapping!" Glenn cutted.

Nicholas gave up and Aiden said something I couldn't really hear because I need to kill some walkers.

Then we ran to the lobby but there are walkers. We got wind up wedged in separate compartments of a revolving door, Nicholas was alone as me, Glenn, and Noah at the same place.

"Oh shit shit shit," I hissed.

We all waited if we could come up with something, then Eugene arrived causing the walkers from outside to get attracted by him.

I sighed in relief but shit, who will go first?

"Let's try to break the glass," I suggested.

"Noo," Nicholas shouted.

"Don't worry we're gonna get you out of there," Glenn assured.

As Glenn and I tried to break it with our guns the other part of door got opened a bit but we immediately stopped.

Just then that stupid asshole tries to open his part, and cause me to get tripped.

A walker grabbed my foot and I keep screaming, Noah held my hand as Glenn tries to balance the door.

I got dragged further but Noah pulled me and cause him to be in my place, then Nicholas got out at the same time Noah to get into the walkers.

He was screaming as the walkers bit into him, I just stare wide eyes as tears falling down.

Glenn pulled me into his arm, "T-try to look away," he stammered but I couldn't.

The fact that Noah getting ripped, and me sitting right in front of him, won't leave my mind.

Me and Glenn finally got over our tears as we ran and I spotted that douche.

I jumped and tackled him to the ground, as I keep repeating to punch him in the face.

Then I spit on his face as Glenn threw a hard punch and cause Nicholas to went unconscious.

Eugene was staring at us shocked, "Don't look at us that way," I snapped.

"He was the bad guy, he killed Noah! And cause Tara to went unconscious, now drive you mullet head!" I yelled.

Eugene finally look back at the road as we drove further.

Two people died in front of me, one is because of himself, and one is because of me.

Me, I should've the one that got killed. Noah should still live, and reach his dream or whatever. I have no dreams, he does.

As we arrived I dropped my weapons as I ran into the house. Tears streaming out of my eyes as I went inside the bathroom.

I stripped off my clothes that was blood covered and jumped into the water.

I didn't even realize how long I've been sitting down under the water, until finally somebody knocked on the door.

"Who's inside?" I heard a shouting.

"Sorry! Just wait!" I yelled back.

I immediately turned off the water as I put on my new clothes. I opened the door and saw Ella, "Hey," she said.

"Hey," I replied as I turned around and walked downstairs.

"April wait!" she called, "Is everything okay?"

I turned to face her and grin widely, "Why wouldn't I be?" I stated as I ran outside the house.

Deanna approached me, "Can you tell me what exactly happened?" she asked, "Please?"

***

I told her everything, the truth. And the fact that Aiden was killed by his own doing (even though it was an accident, I told her that).

"Did you changed your mind?" I asked.

"About what?" she questioned.

"Giving me another job," I stated.

She stays quiet, "That's the point of this job, so you could get over it," she explained.

I was getting angry so I stood up and leave.

"Everybody changed," I heard a familiar voice. I stopped and froze.

"Shit happened," I turned around and face him.

"What the hell?" I mumbled.

"And sooner or later, it gets you," he smirked.

"You're not real, you're dead," I said.

"Stressing out because three people died in front of you, now that thought can get you killed," he continued.

"Why am I hallucinating this? Hallucinating you?!" I groaned as he tapped on something and I fell to the ground.

"You- you son of a poo!" I yelled.

"Is that a way to treat your dad?" he sighed.

"You're dead, you even turned into those thing," I spat.

He tapped again on something as my vision blurred. I cringed as I stood up and try to walk.

"Behind you,"

I felt like being pushed and my vision returned normal, I look back but see nobody.

The fuck?
