Outnumbered

Chapter Six

~Evan's P.O.V~

I woke up to hear crying coming from the bedroom. I turned on the lights. I ran over to where the bedroom was, the door was locked so I knocked.

"Ally, are you okay, can I come in," I asked softly. "Please. "

"Evan go away, please," she spoke through tears.

"Please let me in, I won't hurt you, I promise I want to make sure you're okay," I said as I heard a click on the other side, it wasn't the door, it was a gun. "Ally what are you doing!"

I can't stand out here, I kicked the door down. I saw blood in the bed, on the floor, the wall, and on Ally. A gun raised to her head, she looked up at me, I looked in her eyes then I looked down to the floor. I didn't want her to see me crying. I wiped my eyes and looked up to see her staring at me.

"Think about what you're doing, to yourself, to your friends! Please think, " I said with anger. "Think about what you're doing to me! Yesterday I saved you from that man! He was going to kill you, you beat me but I still saved you!"

I feel like I made it worse, but she lowered the gun just a little. I put my hand out hoping she would give me the gun, she held it tight, not wanting to give it up. I felt like I was going to cry again, my eyes felt heavy with tears, I had to bite my lip to stop noises from coming out, and to top it off I was shaking.

I started to take my hand away when she slipped the gun in my hand. Tears rolling down her face, soaking the gauze. Her expression made a giant pit form in my stomach, so I reached out for her. My hands gently grabbing her face as I took off the gauze. The cuts were red so I ran to the bathroom to get some supplies and when I got there I saw a box of razor blades sitting on the counter.

I grabbed the box and the supplies and went back into the bedroom. I just noticed Ally was covering up her legs. I set the box of razor blade on the bed in front of her. Her face went pale.

"Show me," I demanded softly. "I want to see."

"I d-don't want t-to. You'll h-hate me," she said. "Please just go back to bed."

"I won't hate you and we're sleeping in the same room for now until we get back," I yelled. "I'm not going to take you back to the prison covered in wounds, and there is no way I'm giving you to your friends looking like that, they'll kill me."

She stood up revealing legs colored red, smeared with blood. I couldn't say anything, I couldn't look away, I could only see from knee down and I saw no bare skin just cuts. I started crying, I don't care what Ally thinks after this but I'm not holding it in anymore.

"Evan please don't, I don't want to see you cry," she said softly. "Please stop."

"Why, your my friend, you saved me, if it weren't for you I would be dead!" I yelled. "You don't seem to keep many people close to you when we were with the others you looked like you had no emotion! Are you scared of getting hurt! Are you scared they're going to die!"

"Yes I'm scared, who wouldn't be, especially right now!" She yelled in tears. "I could lose friends everyday, for all I know my friends are dead, maybe even one of those things!"

"You're so blind! All of us will be one of those things soon! Don't you get it!" I yelled, as soon as I said that I regretted it.

Tears swelled in her eyes, she got up and pushed me aside, and headed for the door. I followed her, she switched on the lights and went over to the pond, but I didn't follow her. I stood on the steps for a little then went into the bedroom and grabbed the gun and closed my eyes, then raised the gun to my head. A hand gently grabbed it, partly covering my hand, I let go.

I fell to my knees, another hand gently touched my shoulder and I looked up straight into her hazel eyes. A small smile crossing her lips, causing me to smile, but it faded fast. I stood up and she grabbed my wrist and pulled me out to the pond.

She sat down at the edge setting down the gun beside her. I totally forgot about cleaning her wounds, I ran back in the house and grabbed the supplies, and went back to sit by her. I soaked a gauze pad with rubbing alcohol and put it on part of her cut. She pulled away slightly, and I removed my hand fast. She turned her face and I wiped the dry blood from her face.

"Ally, I'm sorry about you know," I said softly looking down at the ground. "I didn't mean it, I just...I'm kind of mad you would just kill yourself, when I would've came in and talked to you. I would stay up with you to talk any night."

She was quiet, she looked down at the ground which was now covered in blood. She started to shake.

"Don't say that, you're right," she said looking at her blood staining the ground. "I am a horrible person..."

"No you're not, I only said that because...," I trailed off. "I don't want you to be scared about losing people. If you are you'll lose everything."

"I've already lost most of it," she said coughing.

I pressed my hand to her forehead, my heart beat faster before I touched her forehead, no fever. She looked at me worried, it is getting really hard not to hug her. I smiled at her, a big ear to ear smile, she smiled back. I grabbed her wrist gently to look at her watch. 6:59 light enough to go into town or just go home.

"Ally, can we just go back to the prison and not go into town today," I said with worry. "We could probably find a car in the garage or next door, please I think you have a cold."

"Let's go home," she said happily. "There are two cars in the garage."

I smiled at her and we went into the house and gathered some clothes and all of the medical equipment and packed them in extra bags. Then we climbed up the ladder into her old room. She grabbed some boots and I went over to the mirror and grabbed all the pictures sticking to it.

I went in front of her and we ran to the garage. The door was shut, no walkers. We climbed into the excursion. We loaded the bags into the back. I took the driver seat and Ally sat in the passenger seat. I opened the garage door and backed out and headed towards the field.

We got to the field and I glanced over at Ally, a smile crossing her face. I focused back to what was in front of me. We should have no problem getting home.
