Where To Run

Chapter 5

"CAN YOU HURRY UP!" I yell.

"I'M TRYING!" Replied Lexi.

"TRYING WON'T SAVE US, WE NEED IT T-"

I got cut off by a loud 'POP' and 'CREAK' as the giant metal vault door swings open from the ceiling and just in time a zom about my age lunges toward me forcing me to slice off a chunk. It falls to the with a loud 'THUD' causing a few zoms to trip on it and Lexi to gag. As a elderly male zom falls just barley missing my leg. Whew, I'm glad it missed!

"HURRY WE NEED TO GET UP THERE NOW!" I demand.

We climb the stairs and escape to the emergency zom escape, almost tripping on the blood and guts that covers us head to toe. We get in as Mrs. Alvarez scolds Brenna for opening it for no good reason but pauses and stares at us as we lumber toward her. The color drains from her face.

"AHH! BREN LET TWO IN! KILL THEM! KILL THEM!" She screams.

She runs toward us with the iron sword every teacher is supposed to carry. She strikes and I block but, I was a little to late and she cuts my arm.

"MRS. ALVAREZ, STOP! IT'S US! ANTHONY AND LEXI!" Lexi screams.

"Oh no! I'm so so so sorry Ant and Lex for attacking. You scared me! Ant, we need to get you to the hospital! You need a tetanus shot! This doesn't get cleaned to much and-" She says

I cut her off.

"It's okay stop panicking! I'll be fine! I'll get my tetanus shot! Don't worry!" I say.

I'm really not looking forward to that shot though. One, I heard they really hurt, Two I've ALWAYS had a fear of shots; those big needles, they just go into your skin and inject something into you plus, they don't even try to stop the pain! The only type of needle that isn't to comfortable is a needle that is called a butterfly needle.

I suddenly started to get a little dizzy and swayed a bit.

"Ant, you okay?!" Asked Lexi, concern in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied.

"Well I wanted to thank you for saving me out there." Lexi thanked as she kissed my cheek.

Wait, is this really happening to me? Did Lexi, the girl of my dreams just really kiss my cheek?! I was getting dizzier and light headed. I saw the world moving and falling as I hit the ground and everything going black.

I wake up in some sortta bed. I'm wearing a matching blue and white shirt and shorts. I see someone approaching me.

"Where am I and who are you?" I ask.

I lean up and moan.

"Aw my head, it hurts like hell!" I say while lying back down.

Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my arm. I look at it and gasp. Part of it was cut open leaving a gaping hole in my arm.

"Im sorry Anthony, the infection was speading so we had to do surgery. You were extreamly lucky you got here in time; we were about to have to amputate it, but dont worry you will be fine. Your classmates are safe and fine. The gaurds went into your school and executed all of the zoms. Oh and by the way, I'm your nurse, Tiffany but you can call me Tiff." Tiffany says.

"Oh, thank you ma'am. So everythings going to be alright? May I see the hospital bill?" I ask.

"Oh don't worry, everything will be alright and Mrs. Alvarez said she would cover the cost. But don't worry about her, it won't cost alot though because it was a ZRI, a Zombie Related Incident." Tiff informs me.

"Okay, thank you miss Tiff, But when will I be out of here?" I ask.

"Later today hun, when you passed out we gave you some extra heavy duty medicine and we kept you asleep for a few days so you wouldn't feel alot of pain."

"A few days!? How much!?" I demand.

"Only three days. But we kept you alive and safe as you can see." Says Tiff.

"Okay thank you i would like to leave now."

"Fine, if you say so but I've made a prescri[tion of heavy pain medication that you must take every day from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Do you understand?" Tiff explains.

"Okay, I understand. Goodbye." I say as i get off the bed and go to the front dest to pick up my prescription.

Tiff gives me her card and says to call her if I need anything. I walk home to see Trevor sitting on the sofa at home. He looks up at me.

"Glad you arms fine and okay." He says with a sarcastic smirk on his face.

"Whatever. I'm leaving." I say as I grab my stuff.

"Where, your girlfriends house!?" He says with a laugh.

"She's not my girlfriend and actually yes I am going to Lexi's house. Is there some type of problem?!" I ask sarcastically.

"No, you know what? I'm gonna let you have a break today because I'm so awesome, go. Shoo!"

I leave ignoring him as I slam the door behind me.
