This is sad because of inspiration of the song above.

Song- The Light Behind Your Eyes by My Chemical Romance

So this is the Zombie Apocalypse AU
(By the way, this is one of my latest chapters so sorry about the terrible one shots after this one and the sequel)

~~~

To say today was terrible would be an understatement.

Today was the day that Tom had lost most of his dear friends. He was a mess, his hair was sticking up more than normal, his 'eyes' more lifeless the ever before, his clothes ragged and crumbled. And the worst part about it? He was, almost, completely sober.

Currently, he was sat on the roof of a house in an abandoned village, Zombies roamed the streets, groaning and moaning while stalking the empty streets searching for survivors. Tom looked out over the rows upon rows of houses as he took a swig from his seemingly never-ending flask. He sighed, a puff of his warm breath formed as a cloud before evaporating into the air.

He was a lone wolf now his friends had passed.

A hand was laid on his shoulder as a body slumped next to him. Ok, maybe not a complete lone wolf but he didn't like to be in big groups. To many people that will give you up as soon as they have a chance for a 'better future'.

He glanced next to him, seeing the beautiful woman he has fallen in love with, her eyes drifted from the depressing village to her lover, she smiled a little, Tom admired the light that still somehow stayed in her eyes even in the darkest times.

It was something Tom always loved, their eyes, how no matter what every time she looked at him they seemed to have found this new found spark of light. He slowly moved his hand up to hold her soft delicate skin. The female melted into his touch, eyes closing as they breathed in and out steadily, Tom felt an overwhelming urge in his chest, it slowly took over his body. Suddenly it was as if his body refused to listen to him and operate on it own, his lips parted as he breathed out the words that once made him sick to his stomach.

"I love you so much, (Y/n)." It was so soft he wasn't sure if it was him who had spoken.

The girl's eyes opened and once again Tom has held a prisoner in her eyes, her warm, genuine, smile reached her eyes, she wrapped her hand around his as she turned her head a little to kiss the inside of his hand lovingly. She spoke tenderly as she gazed into his voids for eyes that she had found so unique and fascinating.

 "I love you too, nothing will change that, even if there was a gun held to my head. My heart will always belong to you and no one else, even if death takes me tomorrow remember ill always be by your side. I promise."

And she kept that promise.

"Just give up already! Why bother risking your life for someone as fucking repulsive as Tom?! Why can you get into your skull that your heart belongs to me! Not that FREAKSHOW!" A voice crackled with a growl. "Now." the male gripped the females chin with an iron grip as he glared into her eyes, that Tom loved so much, with want, need and intimidation,as if to scare her into to saying yes to him, "why don't you just say yes to me and get that freak out of the picture, hmm?" An air of authority, as well as fear, hung around him like a cloak.

A female with (H/c) hair just sighed disappointed, "no comment." Suddenly a gun was against her temple.

The door slammed open as a furious Tom stood, his shadow cast over his face making him look menacing, "don't you fucking dare you commie ass hole!" He threatened with a snarl.

The figure grinned a toothy, sadistic grin as he put his hands up, the female rushed over to Tom as they embraced each other, Tom gripped their face in his rough hands, he gazed into their eyes that had that light in them, he kissed them passionately.

Suddenly the female in his grip caved into him, breaking the kiss he gripped them against his body to support them as he cast a concerned gaze on the love of his life, "if I can't have her no one will." A voice grumbled.

Tom felt a warm liquid leak through his hoodie and stain his skin, pulling away he saw the sickening crimson colour pouring out a bullet wound, he gasped lying his beloved on the floor as he tried to stop the blood from flowing. The female grinned a little putting a lightly blooded hand on Toms' face. "Tom."

"Don't speak, we're going to get you through this." Tears brimmed his face as he put pressure on the wound, the girl grimaced.

"Tom I-...I just want to tell you, I love you so much, ever since I saw you my life has been an amazing journey. I couldn't have asked anyone better to spend it with better, every- ugh ha." She gasped as she cried a little from the pain that shot through her body making her tremble in Toms loving embrace.

Toms tears cascaded down his face dripping onto the wounded female on the floor, "don't say anything, save your breath. You're going to get through this you have to, you're the only one I've ever loved. Please don't leave me too." A sob ripped through his throat as he cradled the paling body in his arms as the blood was exiting fast like a river.

Looking into (Y/n)'s eyes he saw their light fading from their (e/c) orbs, "no no no, (Y/n)! Hold on! You can pull through. You've never failed me before so don't do it now." Tears stained his face, vision blurry from the tears.

"I love you, Tom. I'll be waiting for you. I promise." The hand on his face got cold, he gripped it tightly as another sob shot through his body. "I've failed and lost this fight."

"No! Don't say that! You'll get through this I promise! You promised to never leave me, please don't do this to me! I love you too much to lose you!" He wailed.

The female just grinned a little, "some promises are meant to be broken."

The light in her eyes slowly faded, "no." Tom's voice was hoarse from sobbing, "please don't do this to me." His voice was giving up on him as his heart was pulled apart into tiny little shreds. He buried his face into their neck sobbing. A song passed by his lips without his control as he said the words shakily, tears landing in the bloody, teary mix puddle gathered beneath the delicate lifeless body.

"Don't let them take the light behind your eyes.~"

He sobbed once more somehow managing to get his words through his wails of pain. "The light behind your eyes." He repeated that until he didn't have enough energy.

Once he stood from the floor he felt like apart of him had been ripped away and burnt as the ashes floated away into the breeze.

Looking up he saw that communist bastard had left his gun. he snarled as he picked it up from the floor, "I'm going to end this for once and for all. I love you, I always will." He kissed their forehead as he covered their body the best he could.

"I'm a sorry sweetheart."

He went on his way, forgetting about the virus that made it possible to become alive if not braindead.

But that's it for now, that's another problem for another time.
