Jade's P.O.V.
I'm sitting in some girl's cell helping her puke up her lungs when the door opens, I look to see who it is and to my horror it's Glenn. He looks miserable. I see Maggie crying, "Take care of him, please Jade. I need him" she says, "I will" I say rising off the bed and limping over to Glenn. I take his arm over my neck and practically drag him to a cell, the door closes behind me. I choose a cell away from everyone else, so he's isolated. I go back to mine and Hershel's cell to grab him some broth and he's sitting up when I get back. "Here, drink this" I say handing it to him, "What is it?" he asks sipping on it, "Hershel made it, it's got herbs and stuff in it. It'll replenish your energy. We're gonna need your help Glenn. There's just the 3 of us in ok health in here and everyone is relying on us to help them" I say, "I'll try my best. I'm so weak" he says, "So am I Glenn, believe me so am I. But we're gonna get through this, together" I say. He smiles and grabs my hand, "Yes. We will" he says.
***Day 3***
"Jade, go rest. Glenn and I can handle this for a bit. You need rest" Hershel says, "I'll try" I say and make my way back to my cell. I lay down and try to sleep, I can't get to rest. I lay down and I have to get back up to cough up blood from my lungs. I can't handle this. I'm gonna die. I sit with my back against the wall and finally close my eyes for a little rest. "Jade? Jade, wake up" Glenn says shaking my leg, I slowly open my eyes. "Yeah. What's wrong?" I ask, "We need your help" he says, I try to stand up but collapse, my body is so weak. I feel so helpless. Glenn offers me his hand, I take it and he helps me up. I find Hershel and he's lifting bodies up onto the gurney, I help him while Glenn starts handing out more broth.
I help Hershel to the door and he takes the bodies out to dispose them. I go back inside to screaming, "Jade!" I rush over and find Glenn on the ground gasping for air. I move as fast as my body can move. I sit there and comfort him, "Breathe Glenn" I say, he gasps for air. I sit there trying to comfort him I get more people asking for my assistance, I can't help them. I need to help Glenn, I can't move. I sit here, paralyzed. I feel tears pouring down my face. These people are dying and I can't do anything about it. I turn Glenn on his side before quickly making my way upstairs and see a Walker on the metal ceiling type thing. "Son of a bitch" I say and climb over the rail. I fight with the Walker and it bites my shoulder in the process, I scream out in pain and plunge my knife in it's head. I quickly remove the mask and limp back downstairs.
I miss a step and gash my arm open on the railing, "Mother-" I cut myself short and crawl over to Glenn. He's turning blue. Dammit, I hold his arms down and quickly get bag valve ready before putting it down his throat. I pump oxygen into him. Hershel comes in, "Hershel" I sob, "Jade, I'm sorry" he says, "I couldn't help them. I had to help Glenn, he collapsed and started gasping for air. I-I didn't know what else to do. I took the bag valve from the guy upstairs" I say, "We need to get you patched up. You keep pumping for him and I'll clean you up, then we'll help everyone else" he says and goes to get his first aid kit. He stitches my shoulder and arm up, then wraps them with gauze. We get Glenn on a cell bed and I sit there and pump him oxygen while Hershel tends to the other people. I grab a washcloth and wipe down Glenn's face with one hand while I pump oxygen with the other.
***Day 4***
Hershel switches me places and he pumps while I go pass out broth. People are starting to feel better and are slowly starting to move around. I however am not. I'm both mentally and physically exhausted. Hershel walks out of the cell and tells me Glenn wants to talk to me, I almost explode with joy, he's ok. He's breathing on his own and he's ok. "Hey" I say as I enter his cell. "I- umm- I wanted to thank you" he says, "For what?" I ask, "You saved my life" he says, I have no words so I just sit there. "I can't thank you enough. You saved my life, you gave me another chance to live, to see Maggie. Thank-you" he says, "You're welcome. I did promise Maggie I'd keep you alive" I say and smile, he smiles back. "Ok, I'm gonna go get some rest, it's much needed" I say dismissing myself. I go back to my cell and sit against the wall before slowly nodding off to sleep.
