My only thought when I hit the pile of decayed bodies was, 'dead people are pretty comfy'. My arms were wrapped around Harley and she had her eyes shut tight. Beth was laying a foot away, groaning. Our clothes were covered in blood and we smelled awful. I got up and looked to the roof. Infected were edging closer and closer to the edge. "Oh shit!" I cursed, rolling over just as an infected landing where I previously had been. I jumped up, pulling Harley with me. Beth followed my actions and we began running to the front of the building. I ran towards a car but, Beth stopped me. "What's wrong?" I say urgently. "I want the pretty red car!" She says, pulling us towards the blood red vehicle. "Really?!" I question as I get in the driver seat, followed by Beth and Harley. I duck under the wheel and begin trying to hot wire it. "Hurry!" Harley yells. I huff angrily, "why don't you try hot wiring a fucking car?!" I yell at her. The car starts just as my window breaks and an infected grabs my head. Beth and Harley scream as Beth tries to pull me away. My breathing stops as it grabs my neck with one hand while clawing at my face. In panic, I stop on the gas pedal. The flies forward, the infecteds hands pulling at my neck and face sharply before letting go. The car stops abruptly as we ram into another car, cracking the windshield. I hit the brakes and put the car in reverse, turning it around. Infected are standing in front of the car and I put the car in forward, slamming on the gas and running right over them, speeding away from the hospital. "Jasmine, you're bleeding!" Beth panics. Searching the glove box for something to help. "It can't be that bad." I say, gasping for air after being attacked. Harley pulls out a small mirror and holds it to me. I glance at it and slam the brakes of the car. We all surge forward and I snatch the mirror, staring at myself. There are 4 deep claw marks running from my left cheek bone to my ear. On my neck, claw marks run along my chin to my shoulder. My lip eas busted and swollen. Blood is pouring from my wounds, a deep crimson color. As I stare at myself, the pain kicks in. I scream, holding my face, blood dripping down my hands. "Jasmine! Breathe. I need you to move your hand." Beth demands as she slowly pulls my hand away. I hiss in pain as she covers it with a cloth. "Let me drive." Harley says as she gets out. She opens my door and helps me out. When I'm out, I double over I pain and fall to my knees. "Fuck!"I hiss. My entire upper body was burning. Beth hops out and helps Harley get me in the back. Beth sits in the back with me while Harley jumps into the driver seat, hitting the gas. Beth continued to keep pressure on my wounds as we drove. After ten minutes of me screaming and hissing in pain, Harley stopped an old CVS. She hopped out and helped Beth bring me into the store. Harley slung everything off the counter and they sat my down. I groaned in pain. "Stay here," Harley tells me. "We need stuff to clean it up." They both run off in search of medical supplies. I sat in pain until the came back holding stitches, disinfectant, alcohol wipes, pain killers, bandages, and....is that sedatives?! Harley pulls a shot out of the box and looks at me apologetically. I feel a sharp pain in my arm and my eyes droop shut.
