I heard a gunshot from the house.
Damn it. I forgot to give her a damn muffler. Jesus now they probably heard it.
They start to pile up onto our small house so many come.
"Dammit...dammit...no...no...think...think....ummmm...." I whisper and look up at Jake and see him looking at us in horror.
'C-o-m-e u-p.' he mouths and points to the fire escape.
I look for a way to get there.
It's not that far. I could help the little girl get over there. Then mom can help me. And mom can help herself.
I grab the little girl.
"Get ready to land and go up." I tell her and toss her onto the fire escape and she luckily makes it. If I hurt my ankle again. It will definitely be broken.
"Careful mom..." I say as she picks me up and tosses me. My foot misses and I quickly grab on with my hand.
"LEXI!" screams my mom. I grab on with my other hand. And try to pull up but I can't.
"Jake!" I yell.
He runs down and grabs my hand and pulls me up.
"Thanks." I say and hug him. He hesitates and hugs me back.
I hear him whisper something.
"What?" I say.
"Huh? Oh...uh..nothing." he says.
Suspicious...Mom!
I see her take a running start.
"C'mon mom!" I say. And she jumps.
She trips.
She falls.
Off.
The zombies find her.
She screams as they tear off her flesh.
"MOM!!!" I scream and turn away.
"C'mon...Lexi...we have to go." Jake says tugging my hand. I keep on crying.
"Mom..." I whisper to myself. The scene plays out in my head. She falls. She's dead.
She's dead.
I can't believe that she's actually dead.
