Survivors-A Tobuscus Fanfic

He's Alive?

Toby's POV

He was smiling. Now, I have nothing against smiling. I loved making people smile. It was my job. But, I don't know, this didn't seem like a situation that would cause a smile to come onto one's face.

This dude just threw a knife and impaled another man's leg, causing that man severe pain. I just don't see why that would make you smile.

I didn't know who this guy was. Or maybe I did. The horrible pain of my leg could be clouding my memory and making it hard to think. The name sounded familiar but that was it. Obviously Ella knew him, though.

"I can't believe its you. I never thought I would find you, baby!" the guy said, running to her and helping her up from the floor.

Baby?

He wrapped his arms around Ella's waist and pulled her into him, kissing her hard and passionately.

A wave of anger surged through me. I wanted to stand up or yell but my thigh prohibited me. This dude was kissing my girl. First he stabs me, now he makes out with Ella. And the worst thing? She is kissing him back. Who the crap is this dude?

A sudden burst of excruciating pain spread up my thigh. I couldn't focus on Ella anymore, the hurt was overwhelming. I couldn't help but let out a short yell.

Ella pulled away from their kiss and made her way over to me, kneeling down.

"Oh my gosh. Toby you need help, quick." she said, "Jonathan! Go grab a scarf or T-shirt. Something to make a turniquette with."

Jonathan. My vision was going blurry but I could finally remember where the name was from. That was Ella's fiancé. Her dead fiancé.

I blacked out after that.

**************

I woke up but I couldn't judge how long I had been out. I still laid in my spot on the floor. The knife had been removed from my thigh and replace with medical tape and a purple scarf tied tightly above the wound. My leg still hurt like crap.

"Toby! You're awake! Oh gosh how are you feeling?" Ella came into view, crouching down beside me.

"Where's your fiancé?" I asked, my voice ragged.

Ella sighed, "He went to the nearest hospital to get you some pain meds."

"He might need to get some for himself considering he was dead last week." I said.

"I thought he was dead. But he survived the zombies. He was around looking for me and he came to this store yesterday and spent the night. When we came in he thought we were zombies and mistakingly attacked us. He said he was sorry." she explained.

"I don't know if sorry cuts it." I said.

"Toby.." she said.

I knew she couldn't change the fact Jonathan lived. I knew she felt guilty for leading me on. I knew she did like me for at least a little bit. But I was still angry at her and at her boyfriend.

"I love you, Ella." I whispered.

And it was completely true.

"Toby, you know that we can't be together anymore. You know that I love Jonathan." She said, holding my hand. I could feel the cold metal of her engagement ring, reminding me of her past.

"And you know that won't stop me from loving you. You know that won't stop me from trying to persuade you." I said, mustering a smile.

And of course Jonathan came in to ruin the moment. Man, I hate him.
