The Walking Dead: My Point Of View

Chapter Seven

"Marin, wake up. It's time to go. We need to make sure we have the last of our things." I am awoken by Jackie, as she is standing next to my bed. I rub my eyes. "Why so early?!" I sleepily question her. "Because we need to make sure that the RV has gas, and make sure we aren't leaving anything behind." "Yeah, but can't you do that without me?" I say, before turning away from her and putting my head back down. Jackie pulls me out of my bed, and I let out a groan. "Alright, I'm up." I tell her, as she shakes me awake. I walk into the kitchen and grab something to eat. Then, Abby comes inside. "Alright, the oil and gas in the RV is good." She explains everything about the RV working, and other stuff to Jessie. "Okay, now let's get going." Jessie answers her, and she nods. I go tell my friends that we're ready to go, and Abby gets into the driver's seat, and starts the RV up. "Shotgun!" Faith shouts, before jumping into the front seat. "Hey, I wanted shotgun!" Enrique hollers back. "Both of you shut up! I'm trying to drive, here!" Abby yells, before turning the RV to face a wide path, and driving through it. I look out the back window. "Goodbye, campground." I say softly, while gripping Blade in my right hand, and hugging Shadow. Pretty soon, we drive right out of our campsite, and into the second half of the woods. I just sat on the couch for a few minutes, with a couple silent tears running down my cheeks. Sophie sits next to me, and hugs me. "Everything will be alright." She tells me. I nod, and wipe the tears from my face. Jackie and Jessie walk over to us as well. "You okay?" Jessie asks me. "Yeah." I answer quietly. "Things will get better, Marin. We're moving to a city." Jackie tells me. I started laughing. "Haha, very funny joke, Jackie! You almost got me, there!" I say, still cracking up. Jackie and Jessie just stare at me, and I stop laughing. "You are joking..... Right?" I ask them slowly. They shook their heads, and I threw Blade at the wall again. "You're insane!!! There are even more walkers in the city!" I scream. "Marin, it's fine." Jessie tries to assure me. I start shaking and running around the living room. Sophie catches up to me, grabs me, and pushes me down on the couch. I try to run again, while I'm still screaming, and Jackie sits on top of my back, as I am laying down, trying to get up. "Stop it!" Jessie holds my hands in place with a firm grip. I keep on shaking, breathing heavily, and screaming. "She's having a panic attack! What are we gonna do?!" Sophie yells. "Let me go! Get off me!" I scream, while kicking my legs, trying to aim for Jackie. Sophie eventually pins them down, while Jackie is trying to calm me down. "Marin, it's okay. Please try and calm down." She says to me, and I viciously shake my head. "Wait, I have an idea! Sophie, grab Blade off the wall! Now!" Jackie tells her. Sophie nods, runs to the wall, where Blade is, pries it off the wall, and gives it to Jackie. "Marin, here! Take Blade!" Jackie puts Blade in front of me, Jessie lets go of my hands, and I grab Blade. I am actually starting to feel a little more calm, now. "Alright... Are you okay, now?" Jackie asks me, before hugging me. "Yeah, sorry for freaking out so much." I say. "Marin, you couldn't help it. It was a panic attack. You're fine." Jessie informs me. I notice Sophie walking over to me, with a glass of water. She gives me the glass. "Here." She tells me, and I drink it. "Thanks, Soph." I say. Pretty soon, we came to an abandoned gas station. I walk over to the front seat. "Abby, is everything alright?" I ask her. "Yeah. We're just out of gas. That's why I stopped here. Now, come on, get the others. I need help getting the gas thingy ready." She replies. I walk over to Enrique, to see him sleeping at the kitchen table. I bang on the table. "WAKE UP!!!" Enrique jumps up, and looks at me with anger. "What? It's fun!" I laugh. "Don't ever do that again! You scared me half to death!" He hollers. "Geez, someone woke up on the wrong side of the table." I say, while he rolls his eyes. "Why did you wake me up, anyway?!" He asks me. "Because Abby needs you." I answer. He nods, and goes outside to where Abby is. I walk over to the living room again. "Jackie! Jessie! Sophie! We're at a Wawa gas station! Follow me!" They smile, and we all run out of the RV, and over to the Wawa. I try opening the door, but it won't work. "Crap, it's locked!" Jessie says. "Guys, I've got this." I say, before cracking my knuckles, and punching through the glass window. I get a few cuts, but it's nothing. We all climb inside, and see shopping carts. I smile evilly. "Let's go shopping." With that, we all grab shopping carts, and bolt down the isles. "I've always wanted to do this!" I hear Jessie say, as she creates a volcano with a large bottle of grape soda. I grab candy, soda, and Monster. "Nope, nope, nope! There is no way on this planet that you're getting monster!" Jackie yells. "Haha too late!" I say, before opening it, and drinking the whole can. "WOW THIS IS GOOD!!!" I start running all around Wawa, grabbing all the candy and soda possible. I even find a whole thing of Airheads. "Yes, Airheads!" Sophie just stares at me, and grabs Jackie's arm. "We're screwed." I hear her say. Jackie nods. "Marin, don't eat all of them in one night." Jackie tells me. "Yeah, yeah. I know!" I reply, while drinking another can of Monster, and doing cartwheels down the isles. "Marin! How many cans have you had?!" Jessie asks. "Three!" I answer. Jessie's eyes are wide, as I bolt towards a solid window, jump, and bust through it. "Whoo hoo!!!" I scream, while running back to the RV. Abby sees me and runs over to me. "Oh god..." She exclaims, while I run around the RV. "Marin, go for a walk. Be back before seven. We're getting ready to go soon." Jackie instructs me. I nod without thinking, and run around in the parking lot close to Wawa. That's when a walker came out of nowhere, and almost got me. I draw my knife and stab it in the center of its skull. I look at my phone. 7:18. Sh*t.
