Max and I were the only ones that had gotten sick. Whos next we asked in our heads. Old Willy was next. He puked up blood and few what looked to be old bugs, earwigs to be exact. Had they been placed in his ear somehow? His body was first to start shutting down. He was old and vulnerable. We could to tell this by his quick paleness and his more frequent vomiting. It was becoming almost unbearable to be with him, he was screaming in pain and vomiting every 2 to 3 minutes. Soon enough Cash and Bailey started to get sick, not as much as me or anyone else since they were 16. Their bodies had a very good immune systems that would soon also start to shut down. I have begun to start experience high fevers. We had arrived at the station but just as we were expecting no one was there. We still get out of the truck and walk in. We walk in to one of the back rooms and that is where we found of the dead bodies. Worms are no where to be found. Willy soon succumbed to his disease. Willy was the first to die. He died right outside the truck trying to get back in. The door was even open. Max and I had been pacing aroud for a while. I soon realized I loved Max. I never hated him. He had been shutting down emotionally after Willy died. Cash and Bailey somehow found comfort in this situation. They are relieved that Willy is dead for good. I run over to them shouting "How can you be ok"? and "An old man just died for no reason, how are you OK with this"?? Bailey fires back "You know what he did to us".
"I do, but he'd changed".
"He attacked you."
"Yeah, but he was still an innocent old man".
"Please just shut up".
Cash falls over and starts to severely convulciate. He vomits a few times and all at once he stops moving. Bailey starts sobbing over his dead body.
"His life is over now" I stupidly said.
"WE DONT NEED ANY WORDS FROM YOU RIGHT NOW"!!!!
She screamed. Max was still crying over Willy. After all it was his grandpa. As Bailey cries over Cash I walk over to Max and I kiss him. I let him know I still love him! He says "I never stopped loving you"

Bailey's P.O.V
My insides are being torn. I'm not good with pressure. Maybe that gun over there is my way out.

Kenzies P.O.V/Main Character
I saw Bailey reaching for the gun.  I wasn't gonna stop her. Maybe it was the only way out. Something edged inside me to try to stop her but then Max fell over and all movement from him was gone too. I kissed him, even though he was dead. I jumped at the next thing I heard. It was a gunshot followed by a scream. It was a cry-scream. Bailey had shot herself in a non life threatening area. She crawled over to me. She was crying. Tears of blood. Blood was all over me. She died as she was crying in my arms. I now write this knowing I'm the next to go and just waiting for my time. I see the gun and know that could be my only way out.
The trigger is pulled. BANG!
