World Of Zombies

Suicide

~~Riley POV~~

Not my smoothest move, I must confess. But I don't think I deserved a knife in my foot. The searing pain spread through my body rapidly. I fell to the ground after swearing at Alex. Me and her are definitely the bestest of friends, not.

"Riley, get up and act like a man," Oh, that special voice that I just love. Wish she had a knife in the foot. Maybe she wouldn't be so cocky. "It was a tiny knife, even that wouldn't hurt Lily." She is just pushing my buttons. I do what any 'smart' man would have done.

"Well young lady, if you think you could handle the searing pain how about you find out for yourself." And at that moment we both had knives in our feet. The idiots we both were was amazing.

<><><>One hour Later<><><>

"What made you think I needed a knife in my foot?" Her eyes staring into me like black holes. Ever since Maggie died she has been acting weird, something she isn't telling me.

"Next time don't be so cocky." I proudly say, earning a punch in he arm. We found a raccoon surprisingly across is path and are now eating it. Quite delicious I would say.

"Riley, I know you think I'm hiding something. I'm not," this girl is officially a mind reader. I've known her since 5th grade for me, which was also around the time I met Maggie. Maggie, Clarissa, Madison, Alex, and lily were probably the most popular and best of friends. They loved each other like sisters. But ever since the apocolypse broke out, everything has changed.

"I'm not proud I killed my friends, but sometimes things have to be done. You know what I mean?" In all reality she was talking to herself. Staring into space. "It's been almost 4 years and nothing has happend! The same stuff happens everyday and I want it to end! I'm sick of living this life!" Wait... Is she thinking of suicide.

"Obviously something is bugging you." Her head turns towards me rapidly. Her eyes shooting daggers. I swear if looks could kill...

"I'm fine" she gets up and walks atound, avoiding my gaze at all cost.

I guess she has a reason to freak out. For all we know, we could be the last two people in North America. But I'm staying optimistic, if we were the last two people on earth than so be it. I have no control and probably never will.

<><><>3 days later<><><>

It's been awhile since we've moved from this spot. Our feet still not agreeing with us. The conversation between us two gas been quite entertaining. All we ever do is fight so you get the gist. She's also very persistent which doesn't make anything easier. Today we are supposed to start our voyage again.

"I'm all packed, you?" I ask avoiding eye contact.

"Yes, I'm ready, lets go."

And with that we walked until our feet couldn't continue. Which happend a lot sooner for Alex. I was a jock in school, played sports, great in gym, so I was pretty good at walking. Unlike Alex who did nothing in all her years of school.

I hear a sigh next to me. She still hasn't told me what's going on. I've been feeling uneasy. What if she did commit suicide. I would be all alone, I would end up going crazy, I would end up killing myself.

"You see anything?" I ask walking along the wall.

"Nope." She replies. Still utter silence. This wall never ends. I swear that we will be walking along it forever. All you ever see is grass, pavement, and wall, gets boring.

She sits against the wall. Pulling out the grass and eating some of it.

Ladies and gentleman, this was our food source.

The green grass tasted fine, like a salad, but the yellow grass was terrible. No way to describe it. I start pulling some grass out of the ground also until I hear some sounds behind the wall. I'm not exactly sure what they sound like until I hear voices.

"Okay, we've been following these people for quite some time now" the voices are hush. Alex apparently hears what I hear and pulls out her gun. "You ready?"

All of the sudden two people jump over our fence both holding guns. I start shooting at them, but they dodge the bullets. Quite impressive I must say. Alex on the other hand decided to cover the food, two guns in her hand. Both guys stop in front of her, shock showing across their faces.

"A girl?" The taller one says. Lets call him Matt.

"I can't believe I'm seeing this with my own eyes! How is she alive!" The shorter, chubbier one says. Lets call him Josh.

"Yeah. Haven't seen a girl for awhile? Quite shocking since you seem like the people who raid others a lot." I join in. Josh doesn't like what I say and turns around quickly and punches me, straight in the gut.

"Shut up you little retard!" He screams.

"Little? I think I'm taller than you!" A smirk growing on my face. Meanwhile, Matt is staring at Alex like she is this new creature on earth. Like the sweet "assassin" she is she kicks his shins knocking him to the ground. Next, she stands up and kicks him right were it hurts. Right in the nuts.

A pained scream escapes Matt's mouth. Obscenities escaping his mouth like crazy. He looked so helpless on the ground, cupping the area with his hands to block any further attacks. Alex takes this advantage to start kicking his arms and legs.

Josh runs over to help his friend but I hold him back. He starts throwing punches to my sides, loosening my grip but still holding on. He kicks upward hitting me so close to the spot tha should never be kicked. I lay a punch to the side of his face.

Apparently, this whole commotion was attracting the attention of some passing walkers. The sounds of uneven feet coming closer. I am the only one who notices, I need to get Alex and run. Closer and closer they come. They got the attention of Josh but I refused to let him speak. I clock him right in the jaw. When his hands reach to cover his face trying to block any further attacks, I lift my knee up hitting that 'sacred' area.

"Alex!" I scream, she stops and looks up. "We need to go now!" I grab our stuff and start running. Alex close behind us leaving the two bandits behind for who knows what.

~~Alex POV~~

After the daring attack we ended up running for our lives. Adrenaline rushing through my body like a bullet, it was easy for me to keep up with Riley for once. I just beat the crap out of some random guy who tried to rob us. It was actually quite funny after I knocked him off his feet. The surprised look on his face.

"Okay, I think we are far enough." Riley states slowing down. Clearly not having as much adrenaline in his body as me since I want to keep running.

"No! We should keep going!" I say in my complaining voice.

"Alex! We need to stop. When the adrenaline wears off you are going to be tired and you have first watch tonight!" Sounding pissed and knowing I can't win a fist fight with Riley I slow down.

"Fine!" Although I'm not supposed to run anymore I realized how nice it is to have the wind in your hair.

As the adrenaline wears off my hands start to throb. My legs are sore and are having trouble moving.

"Riley, you should sleep. It's been a long day for you." I state hoping he will sleep. I've been trying to commit suicide for days. This whole apocolypse thing is getting way to annoying. Doing the same thing everyday, fighting for your lives. I just want to join my friends.

"Oh, well I was thinking you would sleep since you look like a statue."

"No, it's fine Riley. You need sleep more than me." He nods and lays his head down.

~~One hour later~~

I pull out my gun. Ready to end this all. Ready to end this never ending life. Looking around at the fail of everything. I can't take it anymore.

I lean down besides Riley and hug him.

"Riley, thank you so much for trying to keep me safe. But I can't take it anymore. I'm sorry. Goodbye Riley."

I place the gun against my temple and pull the trigger.

Bang.
