As I lye there, freaking out, I feel arms wrap around me and pull me off the ground. The person starts running with me. It's Jonas. Not wanting to leave Lane behind I struggle in Jonas' grip refusing to leave.

"NO! WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE HIM!!" I elbow Jonas forcing him to let go and I charge towards Lane's limp body. The zombies are gone by this point. Tears still stream. I reach his body and waste no time hugging his body. Is he even alive? Oh god! Please be alive! 

I look at his wrist and I see a bite mark. He's going to turn. I start crying harder. I pull Lane into my chest and hold him, rocking back and forth. 

"You can't die! You promised! You said you wouldn't leave me!" I sob. I hear him groan, but not a zombie groan, a pain groan. I pull him away from me and look at him. His eyes flutter open.

"Jean.... I.. I'm sorry.... I'm going.... going to turn..... you have to... to leave me before.. its too l...." He groans and starts struggling in my grip and gets a few feet away. He's turning. I start crying out as possibly loud as a human could. I don't want to kill him, but I think I might have to. He groans and rolls around a little. His back arches and it's almost as if I'm watching the exorcist before my eyes. He reached around on his belt. He's not fully turned yet. He pulls his gun from its sling. "I'm... sorry Jean... I love... love you...." I'm still a few feet away. I quickly scoot over to stop him, but I'm too slow and he shoots himself in the head. His body goes limp. I scream.

Jonas a little ways off watched the entire thing. He runs over picking me up off of the ground again. He drags me to the buggie where Marie is already waiting.

"What happened?! Where's Lane?!" She asked, worried.

I cry as I speak, "He's...dead!!" I begin to sob again. I'm in the back seat. Jonas hops into the drivers seat while Marie sits in the passenger seat. We drive off back to the village. I hadn't stopped crying.


.......


I got to my room in what used to be mine and L- I can't even say his name without it killing me inside. I lock all of the doors and windows to the house. I close the curtains. I go to my room and shut the door, locking it behind me. I pull out my knife and I start talking to myself.

"I'm sorry! I can't do it anymore! I've lost everything! I'm done fighting!" I start cutting my wrists. I hear someone knock on the front door. I ignore it, knowing it's locked. 

I quickly make a noose. I hang it to the ceiling and stand up on a chair.

"I'm sorry.... I'm sorry.." I repeat as tears continuously stream. I put the noose around my neck and step off of the chair. I regret nothing. Just as I'm about to black out, my door busts open and I see Jonas. He goes pale. I see him rush over and everything goes black.


.......


My eyes flutter open. I'm in a bright room. At the foot of my bed, Marie is asleep in a chair.

"She's awake!" This causes Marie to wake up. I feel arms wrap around me. I hear someone cry. This someone sounds farmiliar. No way! It's-!!!







A/n: Hello everyone! Sorry if this update is a bit of a downer. Relax, there is more to come. I just came back from spring break. It was a really good spring break, but coming back to school hasn't been very nice. I've been having anxiety attacks. So many people ((2200 if you wan't an idea)). Walking through the halls, I'm forced to stare at the ground. It's the only place where there are no faces. Only feet. It calms me a little. Anyways, if anyone else was just on spring break, I hope you had a good one as well. If you just got on spring break or have one coming up, I hope it will be a good one. Thank you for reading! Have a good day, lovelies!! 😘😘
