Revived

Tired

I drop my gun as I go to cover my ears, and before we know it the zombie is on top of Austin and he's trying drastically to get it off of him.

"Shoot it!" Yells Austin and he struggles to keep the zombie from biting him,

I take my hands away from my ears and scramble to grab my gun, I hold it up towards Austin but they're wriggling too much- and I have a horrible aim, if I miss by a centimetre I'll hit Austin and injure him, or worse.

"Shoot it Nori!" Yells Austin, his cries and struggles make me weak. I drop to my knees, unable to control my feelings and having an overwhelming sense of fear, I hear a gun shot and look up to see the zombie limp on top of Austin and him breathing heavily, and Trent lowering his gun.

I start crying, why couldn't I bring myself to shoot that zombie?

"Nori..." Says Austin as he gets to his feet and crouches down next to me,

"I'm sorry Austin, I, I-"

"It's okay, that was too much of me to ask of you," he says softly,

"I failed," I say sobbing,

"Hey, look at me," he says placing his hand on my shoulder,

"I'm fine, its okay. Don't worry," he says smiling at me and I hug him. I need to toughen up. If Trent wasn't here, Austin would have died.

"I look over Austin's shoulder and see Trent smiling at us, he nods and comes over and hugs us.

"Don't ever come that close to dying again Austin, you hear me?" Says Alan joining us,

"I'll try not to," he says letting me go and I wipe the tears away from my eyes.

"Are you sure you're not mad?" I say quietly, feeling extremely bad.

"Of course not," says Austin chuckling, "I can't stay mad at you," he says scruffing up my hair and putting his arm over my shoulder and guiding me away from that mess and we all continue on our walk to safety.
I so regret wishing for a zombie apocalypse to happen, this shit is too much for me to handle.

An half an hour later I'm still feeling unbelievably tired and weak, and suddenly the world starts spinning and I collapse without warning.

"Oh shit-" I hear Trent say, followed my "oh no's" from Austin and Alan,

Their voices become mumbled, and they become just blurry figures.

"Oh god, what's wrong with her?" Says Trent moving the hair out of face as I feel his finger tips brush along my face,

"Nori, stay awake," Austin says frantically, but I can't help but drift off. I'm so tired, all I want to do is sleep. I want everything to be back to normal, I want my mum and dad and my boring pathetic life back.

This chapters kinda short sorry 🌚
