*Dans pov*
I stormed through the sheet doors, Cody laid on the bed reading some sort of stupid book. I was way to mad to even tell what he was reading.
"Ayyee your alive!" He exclaimed.
"Good to see you buddy." Cody added.
My fists clentched harder, he stood up and walked up next to me.
"God it would have been quiet around here without you, Dani and Megan." He smirked.
"Cody, out." I stated as nicely as I could.
He chuckled, "what?"
"We all want you gone. Get lost." He laughed even harder.
"Oh buddy, youre joking. Right?"
I didnt say a word, my finger pointed towards the door it was the only explanation I needed to let him know I was serious.
Codys facial expression lightened, you could tell his muscles loosened up. He didnt seem to look mean or harsh at all.
"Look. I'm sorry." He pleaded. Weird thing was, he actually looked concerned.
I shake my head, not wanting to back out of this, no matter what this asshole said or did to try to stay, I had to kick him out. His attitude, the lying, his obnoxious tone of voice, I couldnt take it anymore.
"You cant make me leave." A smug smirk appearing on his lips.
My annoyed eyes meet up with his wicked ones, my hands started to tighten yet again, I had to hold myself back from not punching the day lights out of this kid.
Then, a sudden pain surged throughout my body, my angry eyes turned into a pained look as I noticed Codys hand near the bottom of my torso.
The stinging sensation first rised up my stomach, to my chest, then my head. It then shot back down in the same direction, heading for my toes.
I was scared to even look down at what appeared to be a small knife jabbed into my side. His hand darted backwards, I felt a warmish liquid trickled down my hips, running down the left side of my leg.
My hands unfolded, quickly coming into contact with my wound.
I stumbled backwards, taking down the sheet door as my ass plopped hard onto the wooden floors.
I lifted my hands up towards my face, noticing the red liquid dripping off of my fingers.
Gasps filled the silent air, my head started to spin. Every word that was said afterwards turned into mumbles.
Screams and terror were the only thing my mind was processing.
I felt my eyes roll towards the back of my head as my eyelids started to shut slowly.
This is it, uh? This is how I die. My last thought as my brain saw nothing but darkness
*Emilys pov*
Watching the curtain being torn down was a big concern for me.
Uh-oh, whats happening? Dan was trying to get this kid to leave, are they fighting?
A huge thud echoed inside my head as I saw a bloody Dan, his face full of emotion.
My body wouldnt move, my jaw hung loosely at the image before me. I looked over at Megan, she pretty much had the same shocked expression on her face.
I heard her screaming his name, since she couldnt move, she sat there screaming like a maniac.
Jess and Smidge ran by his side in the nick of time before he passed out, Jess catching him in her arms.
"You monster!" Jess's voice rose up over the screams as she gave Cody an evil glare.
Shrugging it off, he walked carefully out into the living room to the small water bucket we had to wash Dans blood off of his blade.
What the hell was going on, was I dreaming?
I pinched myself making sure that I was awake and sure enough I was.
Blake finally stepped in to help, after grabbing his medical supplies to stitch Dan up.
Megans crying exploaded inside my head, I tried to calm her down but nothing was working. I could feel her muscles tensing up as she tried to move her limp body over towards Dan.
"Its kind of deep." Blake called out, his hands bloodied already from trying to stitch him.
"He might have hit an important organ too. Not sure though."
Megan cried even louder at that news. I gave Megan a sympathetic look.
"He'll be okay Megan." I muttered under my breath. I figured I had to step in and say something since everyone else had another task to do.
Jess held up Dan as Blake tried to stitch him up. Smidge was in Codys face yelling at him to leave, I have to be here for Megan.
If Dan dies I'll be the only thing she has left, sure she'll have Smidge, Jess and Blake but shes not going to be the same. I know I wouldnt be.

*Megans pov*
My muscles were regaining strength back by now, its been a few days since I could even walk. My legs were still very wobbly, but thats what my sister is here for apparently.
Shes been helping me out, teaching me how to use my limbs again.
I still dont remember what had happened for me to become a vegetable but I'm just thankful I get to use my body again and it wasnt a permanent situation.
As for the whole Dan and Cody thing, Codys gone.
No, we didnt kick him out. We tried but he wouldnt budge. We woke up one morning and him and Jess disappeared.
Dan is pretty much on his death bed. It saddens me to say that Cody knicked the side of his stomach, hes been internally bleeding for two days now and theres nothing we can do.
My soul is aching and my heart has been broken into a thousand little pieces. Hes a trooper though, fighting death off for a while now.
Just the thought of losing him is destroying my personality. I've pretty much gone back to that same old, non-talkative Megan.
Unless I'm by his side. Then my lips wont stop moving, I'm a chatter box telling him everything before the world takes him from me.
"Megan." His soft lips spoke out my name. God I'm going to miss his voice, him saying my name is enough for me to almost bawl my eyes out on the spot.
"Yes?" I responded with wide eyes.
Coughing violently, blood spilled from his lips into the small bowl he had in front of him. The sight of the blood just reminds me every time that he doesnt have much longer.
"I know I dont have long. And I have to get some things off my chest before I do go."
His blue eyes twinkle as they meet mine.
"I just wanted to let you know that we went to school together. My real name is David, David Howard."
David Howard? The name does ring a bell.
"I'm sorry Megan." His eyes started to drip tears down his cheeks.
"Im so sorry." He repeated.
I was so confussed, why was he apologizing?
Wait. David fuckin Howard?! My eyes wondered his body with worry as I slowly started to remember everything.
The pushing me into lockers, making me hold his books from class to class.
Dan was my elementary school bully?

So I started up a new zombie story called "Ready to Run."
You guys should check it out! Since my reads on this book as gotten quite small, I've decided to end the book soon. Theres probably going to be a couple more chapters since theres still characters and we dont know where the hell Jess and Cody are?
But just be prepared for this book to end.
**
I really hope no ones mad at my decisions and that you gusy check out my other book. Its way better than this one so far, trust me.
And to Emily and Olivia, I think you guys probably were shocked to read that Dans dying because I told you he'd be the second to last one to die. Woops 😁😁😂
