Dead end ( Rick Grimes story)

Chapter 1

I always thought about what it would be like if the world ended . I always had questions racing around my head like, would it hurt? ,would it be fast ?, or would we all suffer and die a slow and agonizing death?

I don't know why I always thought of that , maybe because I always knew at some point of our life everyone will face a dead end.

I Just never thought it would be like this .Never in a million years did I ever think everything would come to an end because of an outbreak that causes people to come back from the dead and go cannibalistic .

It all happened so fast .A few days ago It came out on all the news reports saying that we should all stay inside and that if needed the people could go to the CDC in Atlanta and that it is safe there. Of course we thought we would be fine just staying  in kings county and not go anywhere else for a while. We thought it would affect the bigger cities more than it would affect us and that we could still do our daily routines like go to work and have fun .We thought it would just pass by .

We thought that we would be safe, well we were wrong.

If we were really safe I would not be standing in an empty hospital room right now looking outside the window and seeing the military swarming the hospital. I am supposed to do my job as a nurse  and check up on the patients but hearing people yelling and shooting outside the room keeps me in place .My heart begins to beat really fast and I feel sweat building up in my palms and when I hear the commotion coming closer to the room, I open the door a little bit to see what is happening and then I see people running , and the military men urging some people to move and other shooting them.

I close the door quickly and lean my back against the door . This really isn't good , These people are patients I used to look after , they are good people. Why are they shooting them?

My heart is beating so fast and I want to cry , these people don't deserve this .I want to help them , I really do, but I know there is nothing I can do because I might get hurt or worse. I always wonder why I am like this , why I always want to help people even though it might hurt me sometimes .I push that thought away , I should focus right now .

I open the door  again and see everyone in another hallway and that's when I make a run for it . I run in the opposite direction from where they came from and hope that they didn't see me , and when I hear yelling near  me I run into the room closest to me without thinking and close the door behind me . I really hope they didn't see me , I don't want to die , not today.

As I look around the room I notice a patient still lying on the bed . He is the patient that got shot and went into a coma , Rick Grimes. I used to come into this room to check up on him. He is still alive but considering how everything is going to shit right now ,if he doesn't wake up any time soon , he might not make it. It's sad to think about it and I shouldn't be thinking about it right now,  I should hide.

I hear running and shouting outside the room again , then someone is just outside the door , they don't come in ,they just stand there . Quickly I hide on the other side of the patient , hoping that whoever comes in this room next doesn't hurt me , or doesn't see me at all .Then I hear gunshots , lots of them and my heart breaks again .just before I hear the person on the other side of the door rush into the room .

I hold my breath and count to ten to try and calm myself but it doesn't work . 

"Lets get you out of here , bud." The person says to the patient lying on the bed , he tries to pick him up but then he notices the heart monitor ,he walk towards the other side of the bed and that's when he notices me .

"What are you doing here ."he asks 

"Trying to hide " I can feel the stickiness of the sweat on my forehead.

"I am Shane , what's your name ?"he asks looking at his friends heart monitor and then to me. 

"Gracey" I say a little hesitantly and then we hear someone outside the door, we both duck as quickly as we can next to the bed .We hear the door open and for a few moments we sit as still as we could until we were sure the person was gone .Slowly we both rose to check on the door and then I stood up again.

Shane was looking at his friend in a pleading way ."Listen to me , if you're gonna wake up , I need you to do it now , do it now ." he sounded frustrated

"Please Rick , show me a sign , anything " he begged just before the room started to shake and the power went out .Shane ducked again and I leaned against the bed to keep my balance, when the room was done shaking, Shane stood back up and put his ear against Ricks chest .Without power in the hospital there is no way Rick would live much longer .

'' Does he have a heartbeat?" I ask with a shaky voice . Shane takes a deep breath and then he lays his forehead against ricks chest . "No, doesn't seem like it ."

Shane lets out a shaky breath and then he puts his hand over Ricks eyes. I feel sorry for them and I really wish I could help him. I really wish for a lot of things right now. 

" Come on , we have to go ." Shane's voice breaks me out of that thought .Quickly we rush outside the room . Shane is holding his gun infront of him and i'm looking around, on our left side is the gunshots and people getting killed and on our right side is the cannibalistic people coming up in that hallway and there is smoke everywhere .Shane looks around before he opens the door to look at his friend one last time .He doesn't want to leave his friend but we have to move , I think of something we could do and then I see the bed next to the door.

"Here, lets put the bed infront of the door ." It was the only way we could help Rick now .Shane turns around and then we both grab a piece of cloth from the bed to put infront of our mouths so that we could breathe through all the smoke , as fast as possible we help each other to move the bed infront of the door  to prevent the undead from getting inside the room .Now the only thing left to do was leave the hospital .I look around again and that's when I see the empty hallway.

I nudge Shane and gesture towards the open hallway ,"come on, lets get the hell out of here."
