I let out a sigh. "Don't say sorry It's not your fault." If it's anyone's fault it's mine.
He releases me from his warm embrace not saying a word about my mother. "Shyla this is Oliver, Oliver this is my girlfriend Shyla." He says gesturing to the guy. This guy must really like black because that's all he was wearing, a black hoodie, black shoes, and even black sunglasses. Why he's wearing them inside I have no idea.
"Nice to meet you Oliver." I say while putting my hand out so he can shake.
"Likewise." He smiles at me and takes his sunglasses off and shakes my hand. I now see why he wears them his eyes are red. Wait he's zombie! Have they evolved? How can he talk? This is bad, very very bad. I quickly retract from the handshake and he smiles even more. "Don't worry they're contacts."
Good thing because I was about to flip shit. "Well Oliver how do you know Dan?"
"We've been best friends since
preschool." Dan chimes in.
"Yea me and Danny boy go way back remember in 5th grade when you put you pants on ba-"
Dan quickly put his hand over his mouth. "She doesn't need to know that." Awwe! He's embarrassed. How cute!
"It's ok Danny boy. Everybody makes mistakes!" I sing. They both give me the death stare and I laugh. "I'm sorry it shall never happen again."
"Good because that was horrible." Dan states.
"Hey I'm not th-" I don't get to finish my sentence because a voice comes on the loud speaker.
"Would all people please evacuate these premises we have a code red and this is not a drill I repeat this is not a drill."
I look at Dan and Oliver both pair of eyes are wide beyond belief. "Please tell me a code red means they found the cure." But I can tell by the look on both of their faces it's not.
"Actually it's the opposite. We have to go now." Dan say sternly as he grabs my hand and runs off with Oliver not far behind us.
Then I remember something. "What about Ashley! We can't leave her!"
Dan quickly stops tracks and looks at me with those blue eyes of his. "Shyla we can't go looking for her. I'm sorry." Before I could protest he once again drags me to the exit.
But we can't get out there is a herd of fucking zombies clawing at the door and surrounding windows trying to get in and feast on our flesh. "We have to get to the basement!" Oliver yells and runs off. Dan and I both follow him until we reach a double door made out of metal and on it says "staff only"
"You sure this is it?" I ask him.
"Of course now come on." He pushes door open to reveal a staircase.
I rush down the first thing I see breaks my heart. Ashley is sitting there rocking herself back and forth. I rush up to her and crouch down. "Hey Ashley it's me Shyla what's wrong?" She doesn't say anything though she just raises her shaking hand and points behind me. I turn around and what I see is terrifying. It is literally a jail cell full of zombies. There is a piece of paper hanging from it. The writing is to small so I have to get close to it to read it.
It says:
"These zombies are trained for the army. They will attack anything the don't recognize. BEWARE!"
I try to walk away but it's to late one of the zombies grabs my pony tail and with great force pulls. I land with my back against the bars. I try to get away but it's grip is too strong. My eyes dart back to Ashley and she's on the ground in a pool of blood with a knife in her hand. "Ashley!" I yell. As soon as her name leaves my mouth an excruciating pain go through my body. I look to my right and see that a piece of flesh is missing from my shoulder and blood is pouring out. I fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I crawl away from the cage.With all the energy I have left I yell Dan's name. They both come rushing down the stairs. When they're at the bottom. Oliver instantly goes to Ashley's aid and Dan starts shooting the zombies. "Dan save a bullet." I barely whisper.
He turns to face me. "Why would I do that." He asks like he doesn't know what I'm saying.
"I want you to shoot me. I can't live like this." I take a deep breathe to try to stop the tears from coming down my cheek but it doesn't work.
"I love you Shyla and I would do anything for you and if this is what you want me to do I'll do it." He crouches down beside me and plants a short but passionate kiss on my lips. A tear of his own falls from his face and lands on my cheek.
I slightly nod my head. "I love you Danny boy." He looks away and points the gun at my head this is it. I'm going to die. I can hear the click if the trigger and my vision is black.
*beep.. beep.. beep.. beep.. beep..*
That noise what is it? It sounds so familiar but I'm dead. I shouldn't be hearing things am I in heaven?
"Wake up Shyla you're gonna be late for school!" School? We're in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and whoever that is is talking about school?
*beep.. beep.. beep.. beep.. beep..*
I finally open my eyes and I'm in my room. Wait I'm in my room as in my room back at my house. I look at my shoulder and notice that there is no marks. I notice that the beeping noise is my alarm and I quickly turn it off.
A lady walks into my room. It's strange she looks just like my mother. Wait that's because she is my mother. She has a smile plastered on her face. "Come on Shyla you're gonna be late!" She says is a cheery voice.
There can be only one explanation for this. "Did the find the cure?" Wait that's impossible I was shot that wouldn't matter.
"For cancer? No." She replies.
"No I mean for the zombie apacolyspe that's going on right now."
She gives me a weird look and rushes over to me and puts the back of her hand to my forehead. "You don't have a fever are you feeling ok sweetie? Are you sure it wasn't just a dream?"
In that moment my heart shatters into a million pieces it was all a dream. Dan, Ashley, Oliver they're all made up. "I'll be fine mother. I'll get ready now." She leaves and I put on my usual outfit. I go downstairs and do my normal routine which consists of eating breakfast and brushing my teeth. I grab my bag and head for my bus stop.
I can't believe it it was all a lie, a dream. But it felt so real!
The bus comes and I get on it I take my usual seat in the back and lean my head on the window until the bus comes to a stop and I hit my head on it. Ouch. I look up to see who come on the bus like I normally do. A very familiar looking guy walks into the bus he has blonde spiked hair and blue eyes. He's wearing a red an black plaid button up shirt and jeans. I swear I have seen him before. He makes his way down the aisle and sits down beside me.
"Hey I'm Dan."
