The Day We All Died

Almost home...(or whats left of it!)

July 24

Day 8

I can't BELIVE it's only been 8 days since the out brake. It feels like it's been so long.

We wake up early and eat some food, we hear a howl the dead kind. I pull out my gun and walk to the edge of the balcony. the things legs are ripped off!

I stand over the edge and fire. BANG. we hear more rustling and a few come hobbling out of corners. guns aren't a good idea right now.

Holley pulls out her katana and jumps down swinging her sword like a bad ass. I lean over some more and slip. tipping over the edge, spencer grabs me around the waist and pulls me up. "you have GOT to stop doing that!" he smiles. Holley scrambles up the ladder without a scratch.

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?" screams ruby in surprise.

"Not a fricking clue." She responded.

We soon set out down the highway, unsure of what we would find.

I saw it. the buildings. they were surrounded. we were surrounded.

I whispered to them that we had to keep going and to just stay low, so we did.

It was long and hard. ducking under cars that scattered the streets, running through alleyways, and dodging the random body in the ground.

We made it to a convenience store and hid there for the night. The store had a medal gate so we closed it using a padlock that had the key next to it.

We all slept in the office to help drown out the sounds, the moans. at about 7 according to the clock, I called back to jase and he picked up right away.

"Where are you!" he asked

"In a gas station just on the outskirts if town."

"Okay well be carful!" We talked a little longer but I told him that I should probably go so that we don't waist the battery.

Me and spencer took the first shift and we just sat right outside the office door, attempting to break the awkwardness with small talk,

But it didn't help much. so, we sat there for about an hour, in silence, when finaly I spoke up.

"Thanks for saving my life...again."

"Your welcome. I mean what are friends for right?"

"I guess."

"So, what are your thoughts on all this?"

"My thoughts?"

"Ya your thoughts! you know, you were always the kind if person who shared her opinion."

"Well I think that....that...this is just BULL SHIT!" I said looking at him.

"Me to he said as he leaned back against wall.

"So what did I feel like?"he asked

"What did what feel like?"

"Watching him died. watching the one you loved die."

(oh did I mention I had a boyfriend before this, he was the first in our school to be infected.)

"I don't know, I mean i had fallen out of love with him, I still cried. but what dose that matter every one cried."

"I didn't..." He said in to tone that made him feel like he was wrong to not cry.

"Im... I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way." I said looking down at the ground.

"It's fine. I guess I was just shocked."

"Ya I get what you mean."

He just looked at me. And I looked at him. I'm not sure why but I just fell into his arms, crying. I hugged him and he hugged me back. both of us crying. (not the loud kind but the soft kind)

We just sat there together.

Just then ruby and Holley walked out to take there shift. They saw us and we all just looked at eachother.

"Sorry if we were interrupting anything." ruby said looking at her feet.

"It's fine." I said as I stood and wiped my eyes.

"well I'm gonna go." I looked at spencer, he stood and followed me into the office.

We both laid down and fell asleep, my hand intertwined with his. it made me feel better being able to feel that I wasn't alone.

My name is Alice Rouyn, I'm fourteen, and I, along with my friends survived the eighth day.

I have a feeling something's going to go wrong.
