The Day I Died

How To Keep The Secret

I sit on the couch thinking about how I could never have the life I had before. You know since I lost my best friend. "Nick I'm home did you have fun at Joey's?" My mother asked. "Yeah." I
Replied. As my mother walked of the room a tear dripped down my cheek. "No I really didn't." I said softly. "Mom I'm going out I'll be back later." I shouted. "Okay be careful." My mother replied. I walk to my blue Camaro and get in it. I pick up my phone and call Sammy. "Hey Nick." She answers. "Hey Sammy are you busy today?" I asked. "I have absolutely nothing to do today." Replied Sammy. "How about tonight?" I asked. "Sure pick me up at eight." She said. "See you tonight!" I said. The day went by fast and I drove over to Sammy's house. I pull up on the curb and ring her doorbell. Sammy's dad Mr. Smith answers the door. "Can I help you young man?" He asked. "Yeah I'm here to pick up Sammy." I replied. "Sammy some boy is here to pick you up!" He shouted. Sammy came running down the stairs in a bright pink tank top, white skinny jeans and pink high top heels. I offer her my arm and walk her to the car, open her door, then get in and turn on the engine. I drive to the abandoned field teenagers go to make out and have drunken bonfire parties. I get out and lay a blanket on the hood of the car and grab a 4 pack of beer and hand her a bottle. "Can I tell you something huge?" I asked. "Shoot." She replied. " okay remember the night of the party?" I asked. "Yeah." She said. "Well that night you didn't drop my car off I made you take it because there was a zombie attack..... And I saved you and Candy but when you guys were gone a zombie killed Joey and bit my arm. Im lucky the zombie that bit me wasn't hungry or id be dead. Don't worry I won't eat ur brains I can survive off human or animal brains and or flesh." I told her. "Oh my god are you okay?" She asked hugging me close. "I'm fine I just need you to help me keep my secret can you do it?" I asked. "Of course." She replied. After a while of looking at the stars and talking I took her home and went home and slept on and off due to my night terrors from watching my best friend be eaten alive by the zombie that bit me.
