Zoey pov
Coach and I are on the waters getting to shore. It has to be them. We hear the gunshots getting louder and louder, coach and I are eager to get a good view.
I soon get impatient.
"Can this go any faster "
"Actually no young'n, I'm going as fast I can. I promise you that"
I stomp my feet like a child and look off into the coast. Hoping for another sign of someone alive, but believe it or not I guess the gunshots are a good sign for knowing of they're alive or not.
Coach yells "sounds like they're kicking ass over there" he gives a hearty laugh.
I respond with getting my pistol ready. I can't fathom the fact that ellis and Francis found them, will he be mad at me. I wanted to believe that they would be alive but... you can just never know with this world, I hope ellis and the others are alive so I can at least explain myself.
The gunshots stop. I look out and squint to try to see better, I don't understand how can they just stop. Coach honks the horn on the boat hoping to get some response.

Ellis pov
"They just keep coming!" I yell as I fire my gun non stop. The tank comes towards us and drives us back, we keep moving back and back and soon we will be in the water...
Click click click. Shit. I throw my gun and pull out my bat. Well this will be interesting. I look and see everyone using there melee weapons as well. We aren't doing good.
We won't make it. But we then hear a horn in the distance. I get giddy just by the sound
Nick yells "back up.. all the way to the docks" we run, we limp, we crawl are way there the tanks are still coming. Rochelle gets punche by the tanks she lands right on the edge of the docks. She looks up and gives a pained smile when she sees the boat coming in.
All of us fight. Louis is giving it all he has but he is kneeling on the stairs of the docks.
"CMON!" Francis yells and points his weapon at the tank almost to have a one on one brawl. The tanks pounds his chest and charges us. When it takes a swing Francis ducks and stabs it in the back, I see my opportunity and hit it in the face with my bat.
"Ellis!" Nick yells I turn to see the other tank about to throw a rock.
"Nick no!" I yell, he's trying to scramble towards me but he isn't fast enough! The rock is raised over the tanks head until it is shot in the chest. The concrete slab falls on the tanks head disorienting it. I turn and see that beautiful angel of mine.
Looking good as ever when she shoots. I try not to get to distracted and grab Nick.
When I turn back to the docks I see coach helping Rochelle in. Louis is basically crawling to the ship. I hand Nick to zoey, are eyes meet. Those eyes. Pain. I wonder but soon realize why when I hear a scream from behind me.
Francis.
No! No one else. I say to myself. The tanks throws him around like a rag doll but he's a tough son of a bitch he stabs it over and over while getting pummeled. I run over and hear zoey scream my name.
Francis screams again as the tanks punch sends him flying passed me. I turn to the tanks and take Francis' weapon and attack it will all my might. As I fight off the beast I feel the other infected closing in on me. I also hear shots going off from the boat. Zoey and coach I'm guessing. The tank is weak. One final hit and it finally goes down. I turn and see Francis leaning up against the docks stairs out of it. I grab him and drag him, I cant. I then feel hands rip me away from him. I get mad but calm when I see coach throw him over his shoulder and see Zoeys eyes. We all get on and get out of that forsaken place.
"Holy hell" I fall to the ground. Everyone is silent, no talking. Everyone gathered around Francis. I want to see him but I'm physically unable to move. I hear footsteps move towards and then I am met with those eyes.
We don't say anything, it doesn't take long before we are in each others arms. "I'm sorry" I say...
"Shut up." She replies with when we break apart I see she is now crying. "You saved him, you saved Francis. I can't lose anyone else ellis. The thought of losing anybody hurts so bad. But... the though of losing you..."
I run her back and pull her back into me. "I won't leave again... I promise" I whisper she nods her head in my arms. And looks up at me and kisses me with such passion that I am left speechless for once. I smile.
I get up with Zoeys help and see Nick and coach steering the boat. I come from behind them and bear hug the both of them. They laugh and hug back. "Thank you coach"
"Your the hero this time young'n" Coach says like a proud dad
I smile and walk to the rest of them, they're all gathered around Francis. I kneel down beside him.
"He's gonna be okay. Thanks to you ellis" Louis says we share a smile. Rochelle puts a hand on my shoulder and gives a laugh.
"It's over" I say and give one last look to Francis. "That man is a badass" i say to no one in particular, but zoey responds with a teary laugh
She walks me to the edge of the boat we look off into the distance.
"Hmm I guess things will be a little different when we get to the island." I say while leaning forward
Zoey grabs my hand, "different is good." I smile and close my eyes, let's go home.
