Kayla's pov

i was struggling with the herd. I was being grabbed on every side of me. My vision was only seeing the undead. I was going to die here and I knew it. Taylor would probably die here and all because we wanted to play a joke on Carl. This world isn't for jokes though. You can't act out and not have consequences. I heard taylor still screaming as I was losing my battle with the herd. Then all of a sudden gun fire filled the area and walkers around me started to fall. I stopped fighting and looked to see where they were coming from, but before I could I was pulled down with complete force by a walker. I hit my head extremely hard against the ground and the last thing I remember before blacking out was more gunfire and a piercing scream.

this was probably the hardest decision of my life. My heart physically hurt and it felt like I was struggling to breathe as I started shooting the walkers around kayla. I fought the tears back and refused to look over towards taylor. I was shooting as fast as I could and my heart stopped when I saw kayla go down. No I couldn't lose both! Then I heard taylor scream louder than I had ever heard. I immediately turned my head, but regretted it immediately. A walker was taking a huge bite out of my girlfriends neck.

"No!" I screamed as tears started falling down my cheeks.

my heart was racing and I couldn't breathe. I could barely see as my tears completely blocked my vision. Moans brought me back to reality as I saw one about to bite into Kayla's neck. I tried to move but I couldn't, I was frozen. I stood there and watched as the walker leaned down to bite the unconscious girl on the ground as an arrow went straight through its skull. Suddenly more gunfire erupted and all the walkers started to fall. I looked and saw my dad, daryl, and a few others appear. A few minutes later all the walkers were dead. My dad quickly ran to me,

"you alright? You aren't bit are you?"

I couldnt say anything as I shook my head. He took a sigh of relief as I whimper,

"Taylor is"

his eyes advert from mine to taylor behind us. She was laying on the ground struggling to hold onto life. His eyes immediately began to water. He grabbed my hand and started walking over to her with me. I hadn't wanted to face her. I chose to protect my sister and failed her. This was like my mom all over again. When we reached her I knelt down on the ground next to her. She was shaking and gasping for air as her once bright blue eyes looked into mine. I started sobbing as I rubbed her cheek with my hand,

"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry"

she was gasping harder as her breathing starred to fade. She started making noises as I realized she was trying to say something,

"I...(gasp)..love...(gasp) you" she said as her body was shaking.

my voice cracked,"I love you too"

seconds after that her, her chest rose for the last time and those beautiful bright blue eyes closed forever. I froze and just starred at her lifeless form. She was gone. My dad rested a hand on my shoulder,

"you know what we have to do"

I nodded and pulled out my gun. My dad protested,

"carl..."

"no...I have to do it"my voice cracked.

he nodded and left to walk over to see how kayla was.

i took down every walker that was surrounding her. Once they were all down I ran and slid on the ground next to her. She was unconscious . I took her face in my hands and checked around for bites or anything. There was nothing and that gave me a little relief. I placed my ear against her chest and heard her pulse. It was faint, but it was there. There was blood dripping from her head so I immediately scooped her up. Rick was by my side after he had taken care of Carl,

"how is she?"

"No bites" I immediately said.

"good" Rick said.

i refused to look up as we both waited for the gun shot. We both jumped as we heard Carl end Taylors life. We both sighed as Carl finally joined us. He didn't make eye contact and just starred straight ahead. He might have been there in body, but Carl was definitely not here. He had the same expression on his face that he did when the kid put down his mom. Michonne tried to comfort him, but nothing. None of us said anything as we all ran back to the house. I quickly kicked in the door with Rick following close behind yelling,

"Herschel!"

herschel and Maggie came running into the room. Maggie's eyes widened when she saw kayla limp in my arms. I was completely desperate.

"what happened!" He asked.

i made my way got the room we stayed in with everyone following behind,"I don't know! Found her and taylor being attacked by a herd!"

I lay her down on the bed and Herschel stepped around me.

"where's taylor?" Maggie asked.

i made eye contact with Rick who was on the other side of the bed. We both said nothing as Carl just continued to look down to his shoes. Maggie immediately got the message as tears filled her eyes.

Herschel immediately went to work on her. Everyone in the room worried to bits. I kept pacing back and forth when small voices had us all stop,

"mommy?"

we turned to see Connor with elaina behind him. They both were crying and looking at their mom. My body shook.

"Beth take them out of here" Herschel said.

she nodded and quickly ushered my kids out. A few hours later Carl, Rick, and I were sitting by her bedside. I was holding her hand tightly. Herschel had stitched up her head and said she should wake up soon. I was happy that's all it was. I couldn't take it if she died and the last thing I ever said to er was she should just go die which was totally bullshit. I was awoken from my thoughts as I felt her begin to move. I looked and saw her head start to move back and forth. Carl and Rick were immediately at the other side of the bed. All 3 of us looking down and waiting for those beautiful eyes to open. It felt like eternity when they finally did. I let go a breath I didn't know I was holding as her eyes immediately scanned the room. I squeezed her hand and said softly,

"hey"

she didn't say anything back. Her eyes widened at all 3 of us and she began to shake. This confused the hell out of me. She immediately took her hand away from me which killed me inside. But nothing could prepare me for the heartbreak and pain I felt as she asked,

"who are you?"
