~~Riley's POV~~

"Riley, thank you so much for trying to keep me safe. But I can't take it anymore. I'm sorry. Goodbye Riley" I woke up to the sound of Alex whispering. Then hugging me. It was all so very confusing since my mind was groggy. What came next was not expected. A bang. The sound of a gun. Her words made sense to me now. She just committed suicide.

Leaving me alone, during the zombie apocolypse. The emotions rushing through my minds were all different; sadness, confusion, excitement, scared. I had no idea what to do. Stuck in between the two walls that would cause any normal person claustrophobia. These two walls that locked us inside, kept us safe. But something about them made me uneasy. That these two walls kept everything in. If a zombie got in it wouldn't be able to get out. That's why Alex and I would have one person keep watch. But who was going to do that now? Risk their life for the other person! I was all alone! Without even a warning that she was going to commit! She thought her life was hard right now?! I witnessed my girlfriend dying, I heard fire a bullet and then scream. That was the last thing I heard from her. Unlike Alex, where she killed Corbin! Shot him in the foot! Not to mention she also killed Adonis and Madison. Most likely Clarissa and Lily too!

All I ever did was be kind to that girl. But not once did she care about the one who truly mattered to me; Maggie. She was the one girl I would be happy with. When this whole apocolypse thing was over I was going to ask her to take my hand in mirrage. But no, all Alex cared about was getting me and her over that wall. That's why she made Maggie go last. That stupid wall that keeps everything in and everything out!

I close my eyes and count to ten. Attempting to calm myself down after my outburst. I lay my head back on the ground. Thinking what did I do wrong? I drift off into an uneasy sleep. Eyes shooting open at every sound made.

~~Next day~~

I wake up to the sounds of a bird chirping. Right away I can tell something isn't right. I haven't heard a bird since the apocolypse. I turn my head ready to say hello to Alex. But what I see surprises me. Blood surrounding her head. The memories of last night come flooding back. She killed herself. My fists clench in anger and I punch the wall. Immediatley I can tell I broke my wrist. Never punch a brick wall. I scream out in pain. My wrist is broken and I have nothing to heal it back up with. I'm such a genius.

I gather my stuff, getting ready to continue walking. I look at Alex's body, questioning whether I should take it with me. I decide not to. Her body would just remind me of a person I tried to save but couldn't. I step around the body and start running. Far away from this place. A place that will haunt me forever.
