(11) My Fault ~Pt.1~

     After about one hour of walking, my legs and feet begin to hurt. My paste begins to slow down. I look at Abel and I see that he is perfectly fine. He must be the type that works out.

   I stop and lay down facing up. Ridiculous, I know.

"What are you doing?" Abel says as he looks back at me.

"I'm tired. Let me rest" I say in an exhausted tone.

"Ugh. Fine. But hurry." He says waiting on me.

"Aren't you tired?" I ask him still laying down.

"Y-Yeah but---" he begins before I cut him off.

"Then lay down"

"Brooklyn, we're in the middle of a road and zombies could come running to us at any time"

I roll my eyes.

He sits down noticing that I'm not gonna get up until he rests.

He sits on the concrete and drinks some of his water while he does so.

I begin to gaze off and I get really sleepy. Suddenly I hear groans from a short distance.
(Not in a negative way😂)

I sit up and see a woman zombie walking towards Abel. She grabs Abel by the shoulders and flips him over. Abel manages to get up and fight back, but its useless without his bat.

I pull out my gun and aim as they fight.
My arms & hands shaking while I hold the gun.

"SHOOT IT" he says as he struggles to get off of the zombies arms.

I've never had a gun before. I'm scared that I'll shoot Abel.

"HURRY"

I aim at the woman's head. I pull the trigger while my eyes are closed. Wrong move.

I just shot Abel on his shoulder.

I shoot again and this time I shoot on the zombies head.

I put the gun down and run towards Abel. He's covered in blood.
He has his right hand over his left shoulder.

"Oh my god"
"I'm so sorry"

Abel doesn't say anything back, he just holds his wound tight as his eyes are squinted shut.

I know what to do. I've seen this in movies.

"Sorry... I have to." I say as I cover both of his eyes with my left hand. My right hand goes straight to his shoulder and I begin to look for the bullet with my fingers.

He starts to scream and I feel really bad.

"Shhh... It'll be all over now" I say with tears in my eyes.

I've never felt so bad in my life.
