Betrayed

Jake's Pov:

It's been about 3 hours since I ran out to the pharmacy.

Me and Johnnie both sat on the couch in silence; the tv playing local channels as the wifi had finally gone out.

Rinnng.... Riiiinnngg.... Rriiiiinn-

I picked up my phone, it was Tara?

I answered quickly, standing from where I was sat.

"TARA?!" I shouted via the phone.

"Jake! I-ive been trying to call you! I-im like a quarter from your house! I'm almost there!" She whisper yelled.

"Fuck! Tara be careful, I'-unlock the-door, please don' say a damn word when-you see-me, the zombies hearing-s-good" I said slurring some of my words our of just being pure nervous and worried.

"Okay" She whispered.

After a few seconds of silence there was a knock at the door.

"ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID TARA?!" I whisper yelled at the fact she knocked.

I quickly ran to the door unlockikg it, moving the chair out of the way and letting her in.

She stumbled inin holding sugar, I closed the door quickly, locking it and pushing the chair under the door knob.

Tara set sugar down and he ran off somewhere in the house.

I quickly hugged Tara.

"Holy shit, i-i thought you were dead!" I cried.

Johnnied walked over and quickly took Tara's temperature with the back of his hand.

"Jake she's cold" He said backing away slightly.

I pull from the hug and looked at her, noticing her sweating, but Johnnie was right... She was cold.

"Tara.. " I said in disappointment and genuine hurt.

"W-what?" She said nervously.

"Are you bit...?" Johnnie asked bluntly.

Tara looked nervous.

"Jake get her out." Johnnie said backing away and grabbing the gun.

"Tara what the fuck!?" I said as I backed away from her as well.

"N-no guys please I can explain!" She said, tears threatened to fall from her eyes.

"Where?" Johnnies said.

"what?" She said looking at him.

"Where damnit, WHERE?!" Johnnie shouted.

"My leg! B-but I'm okay! Seriously! I'm not a zombie!" She said putting her hands up in defense.

I looked down at her leg, a huge chunk of flesh was ripped off her leg, blood slowly falling from the wound.

"G-get out.." I said softly, a tear falling down my face.

"No... Jake no, Babe you don't mean that!" She said taking a step to me.

I backed up.

"No Tara you are gonna get us killed y-you need to leave" I said.

I looked at her.

Her face pale as snow.

Her eyes dull.

"Jake.. Please... Don't do this to me." She said taking another step towards me.

I backed up again, moving in front of Johnnie and keeping him behind me as I took the gun from him and shakenly pointed at her.

"G-go... Go..." I said, my hands trembling.

"I-i... Please.. I'm begging you to let me stay... I-i... I'm not gonna turn into a zombie... P-please." She begged, stepping back and raising up her hands in surrender.

"Tara.. Y-you know we love you" I said, raising the gun up more.

"J-jake-"

"SHUT UP" I shouted at her, tears of anger and sadness falling.

I felt guilty.

"I-im.... I....." He eyes rolled back as she passed out onto the floor.

Johnnie let out a gasp, I felt him shaking behind me.

"T-tara?" I asked.

She started to twitch.

"K-kill her... Jake fucking kill her!" Johnnie said stepping back.

"I..." I froze...
This was my ex girlfriend...

I...

She groaned, her eyes opening slowly, they looked blood shot, her eye color a faded color of what they were before.

Shes looking at me.

Shes...

She slowly stands up, her legs shaking.

"JAKE!" Johnnie shouted.
