'Stay Away From My Friends.'

Chapter 7

ALEX'S POV

'Jack!' I screamed. I had always been a much faster runner. 'Jack, Hurry up!' I yelled. I turned around. He was obviously struggling. 'Just go!' He yelled. I shook my head. 'I'm Not leaving you!' I screamed. 'I'm gunna slow you down, just run, I'll catch up!' He yelled back. I didn't move. I would never forgive myself if I left him. He finally caught up with me. I grabbed his hand and dragged him along. He tripped a few times, but I didn't slow down. We were making it out alive. We had to. I felt him tug back. 'Jack!' I screamed as he got pulled away by a gang of walkers. 'Jack!' I screeched. I stood there, frozen in terror. I could hear his loud cries of pain as the walkers teared him apart. 'I'm sorry Alex! Never Give Up! I believe in you!' Were His final words. His cries echoed throughout the forest. 'No!' I sobbed. I had to keep running. Jack was gone, but he believed in me. I couldn't fail him. I heard a last scream escape his mouth, then everything went silent.

I felt something prod me. My eyes flickered open. 

'Are you okay?' I heard a familiar voice say. I nodded and slowly got up. My eyes were wet from tear stains.

'Is it about Jack again?' Jaime asked. I nodded and dried my eyes. I rested my head on his chest. 'I'm scared to go to sleep, coz I know I'll dream about it.' I whispered. Jaime stroked the top of my head and kissed it. 'I feel like I'm betraying him sometimes, by laughing and smiling when he's dead and gone.' I said. Jaime pulled away and looked at me.

'Remember that time back at school when I asked you to be my Boyfriend?' Jaime asked. I nodded. 'He was still happy for you, even though he just got dumped by his boyfriend and he was upset about that, he still wanted you to be happy. Do you understand? He wouldn't want you to be upset, he'd want you to be happy and move on with your life.' He said. I nodded. 'Thanks, Hime. I love you.' I whispered. He wiped a tear away with his thumb. 'I love you too.'

KELLIN'S POV

'So.' I said to Tay, Vic and Mike. 'The plan is, we get out of this bloody forest,by following the river down stream. Yeah?' I said. Tay nodded. 'We then will hit a dirt track, which leads us to the main road. Now, the main road has many gas stations, meaning food, drink and maybe a source of transport.' I said. Everyone nodded. Tay took over. 'We go East, I have a compass, the more we go East, the further we get to the shore. We take a ferry and sail to Ireland, We then get a ferry to Wales and walk or with a bit of luck, drive to England, Were we can get to London!' She said, happily. Vic frowned. 'How long is this gunna take?' He asked. Tay shook her head. 'I have no idea.' She said, sadly. 'what happens if theres no ferry?' Mike asked. She shrugged. 'Build a raft?' She said. I laughed slightly. 'You do realise this is the Ocean we're talking about, not a lake, Tay.' I said. She sighed. 'Well, we don't have anything better to do so..' Vic said. 'We might as well.' I finished. Tay cheered. 

'London, here we come!' I said.

VIC'S POV

I still can't get my head round it. Kellin's gay? I know this is some fricken Zombie apocalypse and there shouldn't be time for falling in love, but..the way his eyes sparkle, how his hair looks perfect and stays just above his shoulders, his skin which glistens in the sun, his beauti- stop it Vic, He wouldn't like you back anyway. A voice in my head said. It's true. Why would anyone like me? I'm nothing special, and I never will be. 

'You okay?' Kellin asked, lightly nudging me with his arm. Just a small touch sent sparks flying through my body. 'Umm, y-yes.' I Whispered. He frowned. 'Don't do that.' I whispered. He frowned again. 'What?' He asked. 'That!' I said. He looked confused. 'You keep frowning at me.' I said. 'Oh, sorry..I-I didn't realise, its just a habit I guess.' He said. I shook my head slowly. 'N-no Its fine, I just kinda feel like y-you think...' I trailed off. 'Thinks what?' he asked. I hesitated. 'I dunno, like I'm stupid or something.. which I mean, I am..but..I-I.. I dunno..' I said. He shook his head and placed his hand on my thigh, making me heart go mad. 'You're not stupid, Vic.' He said. I was trying to keep calm but it was almost impossible. I kept taking sharp breaths and fidgeting weirdly. He took his hand of my leg. I immediately felt cold. 'Are you sure you're okay?' He asked. I nodded quickly and ran off, Not looking back to see his reaction.

I had just made a complete fool of myself in front of him. He probably thinks I'm a complete weirdo. I slid down a tree and collapsed into tears. All the chances I had have probably been taken away, he must think I'm a complete idiot. He's probably wondering what he's done wrong. I buried my head in my hands. My sleeve rolled up slightly, revealing a dozen pale-pink lines on my wrist. I Rolled my sleeve up fully. I remember when this was my only escape. But with the Apocalypse and everything going on, I kinda forgot about it. Which I guess is a good thing? I must be at least 6 Months clean. I didn't want to ruin that now, but a voice in my head was telling me to. I pulled the chain I wore over my head. A razor blade was attached to it. I held it in my hand for a moment, feeling the cool metal sending chills through my body. I missed this in a sick and twisted way. 

I unclenched my palms and held it between my thumb and index finger, ready to spoil the months I had gone without doing it. I placed it against my wrist, but hesitated. Did I want to do this? Yes, you do. The voice said. I breathed in. 'Oh no. Don't you fucking dare!' A voice said. I looked up to see my younger brother, Mike. He crouched down slowly and carefully took the blade out of my hand, being careful not to catch my skin with it. 'Not this again.' He whispered. I didn't even fight him. I just felt so empty and weak. 

'Why?' Mike whispered.

I sat there, letting tears drip down my face.

He wiped them away with his thumb. 'You can tell me anything, Vic.' He said.

'I'm in love with Kellin.' I whispered.
