I look around me and see others filled with fear. What is happening? Why do they look so scared and worried? I try to speak out but my voice gets trapped inside my body. I start to quiver and my muscles in my arm start to tighten. What is happening to me? I no longer feel okay, fine, normal. But instead, I feel pain, sickness, failure. I feel a drip of liquid fall onto my shoe. I turn my head over to where it fell from, and realize what is going on..... I have been bit.
The one Spreader I was fighting must have gotten to me and grabbed ahold of any flesh it could. This is not good....
I start to tremble and shake, I get queasy and anxious, what is going to happen to me?
I look around me once again to no longer see my friends expressions being happy, but instead, they are worried, and concerned. I look over to Ryan, he is just standing there, looking at me. Help me! Do something! Don't just stand there! Can't you hear me?!
Ryan runs over to me and I finally manage to speak. "Halley! Oh my gosh, are you okay?!" He asks me. I start to laugh with anger, fear, and sadness. "Okay, Okay?! Do you really think I'm okay?!" I yell at him. He takes my hand and pulls me away from what is left of the Spreaders, and he pulled me into a hug. My forearm continues to bleed out. "Hey, it will be alright, we can cut.." Before he could continue, I stopped him. "No Ryan, It is too late, and I am not going to remove my arm, we don't even know if it will help anything." I look down at my arm and the room starts to spin. "Halley, you have lost too much blood...." Caroline places a piece of gauze onto my arm to try and slow down the bleeding, but we all know it is not going to solve anything. I am going to die sooner or later, that's for sure.
The room continues to spin more and more. Shawn, Ryan, Dylan, Caroline, and Eirelyn all sit around where I have decided to lay down. I smile at each and everyone of them as my last goodbye. I wave Ryan to come over so I can tell him one last thing. "Halley..." He starts. "Ryan look, I really really do like you... but I know I have treated you awfully and I regret it so much. You deserve a lot more and I couldn't give it to you." I say. "Halley stop. You are literally one of the best things that's ever happened to me. We have all been through so much, and you just cope with your feelings differently than others, and that's fine, because I love you." He smiles and holds my hand. A tear rolls down my cheek as I take one last look t his face. "I love you too." I manage to whisper. He kisses me on the forehead as I peacefully close my eyes. They know what to do.
Shoot me.
Please, stop this pain.
I hear the sound of the anumition being loaded into the gun.

All goes black.
