Barely Breathing

Wordcount: 1400
*Megans pov*
Dan led the way since I had no idea where I was going. I lagged behind as Dan and Dani got to talking about the whole Mason situation.
I couldnt stop thinking about it either, how would we protect ourself from this? I dont wanna lock up Mason for the rest of his life. What if he doesnt have very long? And if we tie him down, it might depresses him for the rest of the time he has?
Or he might live from it and hate us, he could kill one of us if it came down to it and our groups only getting shorter each and every day, we cant lose anyone.
"This is where the boys kept the car." Dan confirmed to Dani.
"Is it there?" Dani asked intrigued.
"It looks like it!" Dan got excited as he ripped down the muliple branches and leaves from the top of the car.
"You knew about this the whole time and never said a word?" I asked angrily. "Mason and I risked our lifes walking down to that one store, you know, the day I went missing?"
Dans smile sooned turned into guilt as he realized that the car could have helped us a few weeks back.
"Oh my god Megan, I'm so sorry." He looked up at me with sad eyes.
"It whatever, the situations over with and I'm home." I crossed my arms as I rolled my eyes.
Dani stood their awkwardly until she coughed making both of us look up at her at the same time.
"I'm going to wait inside the car." She pointed over towards the drivers side rear door.
I nodded as I walked all the way around the car to the passengers side door.
That meant that Dan had to driv-, wait a second. I thought to myself. Dans my age? Meaning the apocalypse happened when we were twelve? How does he know how to drive?
I sort of have an idea, since the group I was with before always went out on runs. Some of them allowed me to drive, I mean I was sixteen. Thats the normal age to begin driving. I hope Dan has had a little bit of expirence.
*Dani's pov*
"Okaaay buddy." I said outloud as I clentched onto the ripped leather seats.
"Do you even know how to drive!" Megan yelled as Dan whiped around a corner.
"Uh, sort of?" He questioned himself.
"WATCH OUT FOR TH-" I started to say as I pointed over to the hoard of zombies coming out way.
Dan slammed on his brakes.
"BACK UP, BACK UP, BACK UP!" Megan yelled as I saw her hitting Dan in the chest with her free arm. The one that wasnt clutching onto the handlebar that was attached to the roof of the car.
Without looking, he backed the car up going about 384784397393 MPH!
Frightened about his speed, I turned around to be greeted by a huge oak tree.
"DAN THERES A TR-" I started to yell but the collision of the car and the tree startled me.
"Dani!" Megans voice echoed inside my head.
I very faintly saw her frantic face in the corner of my eye. She whipped her seatbelt off, almost hitting herself in the face with it before she jumped over the seats and propped my head up on her knees.
"Dan? Dan help me?!" Megan yelled but I didnt hear a response.
"Dani," she cried, I felt her tears drip down onto my face. "Dont worry" she sniffed as the car startled to shuffle back and forth.
Looking up at the windows I saw them, the blood thirsty creatures looking to eat our flesh and guts.
"Dani, you'll be okay, okay? Dont wooooorrryy." Her words started to slur on. I couldnt focus, everything in sight was lagging, Megans voice started to go in and out, my vision sometimes became black then would come back. It started giving me a head ache. Plus the massive pain I felt on the back of my head wasnt helping. My legs felt like jello, and my arms were spaghetti.
"Dont leeeeave meee daaani." Her words slurred again.
But I felt weak, I felt tired, I didnt know what to do. I needed to keep fighting. I needed to push through.
"Megan?" I whispered so softly, I'm surprised she even heard me.
"Dani! Oooh myy goood! Arreee yoouuu alrriigghtt?" The words kept slurring and repeating over and over inside of my head.
I could feel my eyelids drooping and my eyes rolling in the back of my head before they came to again.
"Dani! Dooont doo thaaat, pleeaasee staaay wittthh mee!" Megan shouted.
I looked up at her with reassurance in my eyes. I noticed that her lips started to form a little smile as her tears fell down her face.
"I'm in pain. You can do this though."
I closed my eyes and waited for it,
I waited for the pain to go away.
*Dans pov*
I started backing up the car quickly, trying to get away from the dozens of zombies in front of us.
I heard my name being shouted from the back but I tuned it out. My mind was racing and I couldnt seem to focus. Then before I could even blink an eye my head shot forward and hit the steering wheel. My right arm hit against the windshield and all at once I felt a sudden shock of pain run up my arm and through my body.
"Dani!" I heard Megan scream, then the click of a seatbelt rang throughout my ears.
I heard Megan talking in the back seat but I couldnt make out what she was saying, the nonstop ringing in my head blocked out every sound around me. I tried covering my ears with my hands but one of my arms didnt seem to work. It sat by my hips, every once in a while I felt pain shoot up my arm but other then that it was pretty numb.
I looked out my window and everything moved in slow motion. Each zombie staggering their lifeless bodys up to the car then pushing all of their weight onto both sides of the vehicle.
I then felt a hand grab onto my shoulder roughly. My eyes widened with fear as I grabbed it and with harmful force threw it over to the seat next to me.
"Dan!" I heard Megan yell. She was holding onto her hand in pain. I looked up at her in shock, I noticed that her face was red and puffy as tears fell from her eyes.
"What happened? Are you okay?" I asked as I tried to move my hand to hold her face. I looked down at my arm with confussion. Why wouldnt it move?
"Your arm might be broken." Megan confirmed the question I said inside my head.
"Woaaah, how'd you know? I asked that to myself in my head!" I laughed out loud amazed at her skills.
"Do it again! What am I thinking of?" I grinned as I thought of a topic to think about.
"DAN WE DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS! STOP ACTING LIKE A CHILD!" Megan screamed in my face.
I stood there shocked, I didnt know Megan could scream like that.
"Well," I paused. "You didnt have to yell." I pointed out as she looked like she wanted to kill me.
"DANI'S DEAD AND WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS CAR!" Megan yelled at me again.
"Dan-Dani's dead?" I studdered. "How did this happen?" As I tried to turn my head to get a good look at Dani.
Megan shook her head as she looked up at me, "Youre a dumbass."

I really hope that this chapter really explained the death of Dani. Im not the best at describing situations like this and I'm sososo sorry. Im trying here though! And yay! Im updating once again on a regular basis if you havent noticed 😂 I hope you guys liked this chapter! How in the world is Megan and Dan going to get out of this situation with how Dans acting?!
