April
We got back on the street and Matthew ran towards me. He gripped my shoulders too tight and looked me in the eye.
"Are you fucking insane?! Why didn't you take your own weapon? You could've gotten seriously hurt! You could have died!"
I tried to get his arms off me because it really hurt.
"Yo, stop. You're hurting her. . ."
Gustavo said.
"You're my little sister! You're practically Eli's mom! What would have happened if you died?!"
Matthew began shaking me, making my head swing around like a bobbled-head. Chris walked away from Levi's side and shoved Matthew back, but she wasn't that strong.
"Matthew, stop you're hurting her!"
He used his elbow to shove Chris back, making her fall on her ass.
"Do you think i could live without you?! What about Eli?! Did you even think of him?!"
His fingers dug deep into the nerves in my biceps.
"I. SAID. STOP!"
Gustavo cocked his gun and put it to Matthew's head.
"NO! STOP! DON'T SHOOT HIM! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! DON'T SHOOT MY BROTHER!"
Matthew dropped me and i fell on the ground. Gustavo kept the gun pointed at Matthew. I crawled up to Gustavo and clung to the hem of his shirt.
"Please, please, please. Don't. Please."
I whimpered to him. I looked up to his face.
"Please. . . "
I whispered. He looked extremely conflicted as he dropped the gun, but he grabbed Matthew's collar.
"You touch her like that again, i won't think twice."
Matthew walked away to lean on the side of his Jeep, looking over the deep woods. Gustavo tried to help me up, but no matter how cute he looked, he just threatened my brother. I looked at his hand and trailed up to his eyes. I sneered and picked myself up, heading towards Matthew.
"Hey-"
I went to pat his shoulder, but he embraced me in a tight hug.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't m-mean to hurt you. I w-was scared and-and worried and. . . "
He trailed off. I grabbed both sides of his face
"Were you confuzled?"
He smiled a sad smile.
"Very."
I hugged him.
"It's fine. But touch me again and i'll beat your ass"
I threatened playfully once i left the hug, leaning against the Jeep myself.
"Deal."
He said with his arm around my shoulder.
"We need to start moving again"
Levi announced with Chris by his side.
"What happened out there? Why is Levi so close to Chris?"
I scoffed.
"They kissed. Drive safe"
I side hugged him and headed for the car i was meant to go into. Everyone was walking all around. Levi was hoping into the car. Matthew was buckling Eli into his car seat. Gustavo was filling up both the Jeep's tanks with gas. I was holding Emerson, but Scar and Chris were no where to be seen.
"Levi! Where's Chris?"
Panic flashed in his eyes.
"I dunno"
I looked around, but couldn't find her.
"Uh, Gustavo, could you watch Emerson?"
He nodded with his eyebrows furrowed. I grabbed a pistol and shoved it into my pants by my left hipbone. I walk with heavy feet as Levi followed right next to me.
We head past several broken down cars. Levi's steps muffled a sound i heard in the distance. I grab his arm and he stops dead in his tracks.
"LEVI!"
"Shut up, you bitch. He won't save you. He loves me!"
Levi and I push past each other, jumping over the railing, running down the hill side, searching frantically. I heard her whimpers and grab Levi's arm roughly, dragging him with me.
We run into a wide opening in the woods, and directly across from us was Chris. Pinned against a tree. By Scar. Who was holding a knife to her throat. Levi stumbles forward for her, and i let him go. He's right behind Scarlet and she turns with her knife still close to Chris' neck.
"Hello, love~"
She swooned.
"Give me Chris"
"NO ONE NEEDS A PATHETIC WHORE LIKE HER!"
She snapped.
"The only person you need is me"
She said to Levi
"What?"
He asked, very confused.
"You only love me!"
She dropped the knife and used both hands to hold his face against hers. Chris ran for me, and slammed into me with all her strength. I held her head against me as she cried. Levi shoved Scar off him, and she grabbed the knife. She quickly pushed him against the tree, making him hit his head very hard.
"Why don't you love me?!?! I'm-I'm so much better than h-her!!"
She yelled, completely insane with the knife blade digging into the skin of his left cheek. His left eye slightly closed in pain of the cut and he turned his face away the best he could.
I pressed the cold metal against her head.
"Drop the knife, Scar"
I glared at the side of her face.
She turned the knife quickly to slice my stomach from left to right, but Levi grabbed her wrist. He turned her arm in a painful angle causing her to drop the knife. He did the same with the other arm. I quickly pulled the laces out of my shoes and helped Levi tied them around her wrists.
We led her back to the others and Levi pushed her on the ground.
"She tried to kill all three of us. . ."
"I'm down with leaving her here to rot.'
Matthew said, heading back to the Jeep.
"Vote?"
We all look at Gustavo like he's an absolute dumb ass.
"Okay~"
He stretches out the word awkwardly. Levi goes to our Jeep and grabs a long rope.
By the time he was done, the rope was tied around her entire legs. He swung the rope over a tall tree branch which he pulled to make her swing upside down. He replaced my shoelaces with rope and handed them back to me.
Before we left, Levi shot 3 shots into the air, definitely attracting anything in the area.
He grabbed her face
"Rot in hell, whore."
Levi walked quickly to the Jeep.
"As long as i get to see you there, baby~"
She swooned.
We drove away, but i could see in the side view mirror the zombie emerging from the tree only a few away from Scar.
"Goodbye"
