~Louis~

I gasped in pain, a burning, stabbing pain shot through my leg. My vision was becoming blurred, and I could vaguely sense I had fallen to the ground. My body was feeling numb. I felt hands grab and my own, instantly recognizing them as my love’s. I fought to get out of the haze that had settled in my head, fought to see the perfection that is my boyfriend. I struggled, sure as hell did, but I broke through only to be met with a sight that broke my heart to pieces. My Zayn, crying. If you have ever seen someone kick a puppy, or seen a baby drop a piece of candy, well you know it’s a sad sight. But this, this was 700 times worse. I reached my hand up to cup the gorgeous lad’s cheek, and he leaned into my touch. I was no longer numb, no longer in a haze, but I kind of wish I was because the pain shooting up my leg was near unbearable. I heard mumbling, but I couldn’t make it out. It was more like I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to know how fast I was dying, and how quickly I could so easily turn on my beloved and friends. How quickly I would become the monsters we were trying to escape from. I just stared into Zayn’s eyes until I drifted off to sleep, the world fading away, darkness seeming in, and a numbness that made me feel like I was floating. My last thought before I died was the ring in my pocket and the question I would never get to ask.

I knew what I had to do, and I knew what Louis was going through now was just shock. If we could do something now, then there would be a chance for him.

“Harry, Haz look at me.” I spoke to the trembling boy. I could tell he was worried for his friend, and Louis needed him now. Finally his head turned and he locked eyes with me. “I need you to get me some waters from their bag okay?” I questioned gently, he nodded eyes still blown wide with fear. I pecked him on the lips and gently pushed him in the direction of the waters. I then briskly walked over to a frozen Liam, patting him on the shoulder. He jumped, fear clear in his eyes and I shot him a sympathetic smile.

“We will help him, but I need your help to do that.” I muttered quietly, and he nodded vigorously. I smiled reassuringly and dragged him toward Louis who was lying on the ground. I knelt down, cutting open the pant leg and allowing me better access to the wound that would kill him in less than an hour if we didn’t hurry. Liam quickly took of his shirt and I slid off my belt, gently wrapping it around the top of his thigh above the wound. I quickly pulled it tight, effectively cutting off the circulation of the leg. Liam handed me his shirt and I tore it into thick strips. I saw Liam wince slightly and smiled slightly. Harry quickly came back with the waters handing them to me. I grabbed my knife and was about to start when Zayn began getting hysteric. He started shaking Louis, begging for him to wake up and not leave him. Tears were pouring from his eyes like waterfalls and I smiled grimly at the scene. I gestured towards Zayn and Liam got the hint going up behind him and pulling him away from his lover. Zayn struggled, trying his hardest to break free from his best mate’s grasp to no avail. He begun cursing, and insulting the poor boy holding him back. He was a hysterical mess and I tried to block out his cries as I began. I slowly cut the wound open more, Zayn noticed and begun thrashing harder. Yelling, begging for me to stop hurting his poor love. I winced as he grew increasingly violent and hysterical. I thought he would knock himself into a seizure or hurt himself. I drowned out his pleas and hysterical screams and continued my work. The blood soon bubbled up to the surface and I smiled, taking the water and washing it over the wound. The infected blood turned black, quickly seeming from his wound and to the ground. I gently pushed Harry away from the infectious tar like substance, handing him a shred of shirt to cover his mouth with. I gave him two more to bring to the others, and placed one snuggly over Louis’ mouth and nose making sure he couldn’t breathe in the toxic air. The thick, black substance continued to flow from the wound, the fumes it emminated hitting me right in the face. I coughed, the terrible smell causing my eyes to water. I knew something like this could kill someone, but I was immune and therefore could only make me deathly ill rather than a walker. But it was worth the cost, looking up to see Harry watching his friend lying there almost lifeless with tears in his eyes caused my heart to break. I had to use both hands to clean the wound, so his safety was more important than mine. The black finally stopped oozing, allowing red blood to now bubble up slowly, considering the appendage was now getting no blood flow. I cleaned the wound, and around the wound the best I could with the water I had. I then untied the belt allowing blood to flow freely. I cut my forearm, allowing some of my blood to stream into his system, allowing it to effectively kill any trace of the virus left in his system. It was kind of like giving him a flu shot, giving a small amount of the substance to have the immune system fight it. I smiled at my handy work before taking out a small sewing kit and sewing his leg back together with bright pink string. I chuckled, he would love this when he woke up, but then quickly broke into a coughing fit. After a couple minutes it died down and I finished fixing the boy up. I quickly wrapped the stitching with a piece of Liam’s shirt, tying it securely. I then took the last strip and firmly tied it around the cut on my wrist. I didn’t clean it, not wanting to use the last of our water.

I stood up, kneeling down by his head and gestured for someone to grab his feet. I gently lifted his shoulders, Harry picking up his feet and helped me carry him away from the toxic fumes and blood lying on the ground. We placed him inside the building we were just exiting from, placing him down gently in the corner. Liam had let Zayn go by then, and the boy was fuming unaware that I had just saved the love of his life’s life. He stalked up to me, punching me in the face and then the gut.  I groaned, he kicked me in the shin once and then stalked off to pick up Lou’s head and slid under it- effectively cushioning his head. He glared at me, hatred clear in his face. I rubbed my face gently, wincing when I touched the tender skin under my eye. He continued to stroke Louis’ hair, staring at the boy fondly.

I sighed, walking back outside and kicking dirt over the tar-like substance so it was buried. I then walked back inside, instantly attacked in a hug by Harry, who then pulled back and gently stroked my tender skin. He smiled sadly, but I could see underlying anger in his eyes. I shot him a sweet, reassuring smile and dragged him back to the corner we were in earlier.

“He’s in love.” I muttered before sitting down. My back was against the wall, and I  pulled Harry into my lap. He cuddled into me, head in the crook of my neck. He placed a gentle kiss on the skin before mumbling a ‘goodnight’ and falling asleep. I was about to drift off when I remembered the circumstances. My eyes shot open and glanced at the door where Liam had just placed a very large table. He met my eyes and he smiled thankfully. I nodded, seeing that we were relatively safe. I kissed the top of my curly-haired boyfriend’s head and drifted off to sleep- feeling safe, secure, and loved.

The best sleep I’ve had in ages.
