Chapter 34: His Back

Chapter 34| His Back

I woke up to Garrett shaking me. He was yelling.

"He is here, the governor is here!" He yelled I jumped to my feet and grabbed my crossbow swung it over my shoulder Garrett handed me a rifle.

"Stay close to me, ok." Garrett said before kissing me on the cheek.

I nodded and we ran out it was crazy everyone running around grabbing things I heard yelling. We ran outside and joined Carl and Daryl at the fence then watched as Rick talked to the governor.

"I could end this right now." Carl said.

"Or start something new." Daryl said.

"I'm a good shot."

The governor pulled out Michonne and Hershel from a car. My grip tighten on my gun. The governor took Michonne's sword. The only part I heard was.

"We can live here together all of us." Rick yelled.

"Liar!" The governor said and with one swing cut off Hershel's head. I heard Maggie and Beth's cries. Gun shots went off as if cutting off Hershel's head was to say go. I shot people on the other side then a tank came and tore down the fence. Walkers started to come from the sounds of bullets. Nikki came up the side of me.

"Come on I need your help." She yelled over the gun firing.

I nodded.

"Garrett I'll be right back, I promise." I said getting up to go.

"Wait Josie don't go." He said.

"It's ok I'll be ok." I said.

"Stay with me, your all I need." He said.

"I won't go far." I reassured him.

Our lips crashed. It was a short kiss but probably our best. I gave him the best smile I could and ran off with Nikki. That could be the last time I ever see him. I shook that thought out of my head.

I followed Nikki through the prison. There were walkers everywhere. We ran into her cell first grabbing things we would need then to mine. We turned and ran out.

"Come on we have to find the kids help them get on the bus." Nikki said.

I followed and we helped older people and kids get on the bus.

"Are you two coming?" The bus driver asked.

Nikki looked at me.

"I can't leave Carl." She said.

"I can't leave Garrett." I said.

With that we ran to where they were last only to find nothing but empty bullet shells.

"Great!" I said.

Nikki started to cry. I looked down and saw the governor strangling Rick. Michonne went up and killed him. I smiled knowing he was dead. For good. I heard a ear pricing scream. I quickly, turned to see Nikki get bite on her neck.

"NO!" I screamed as tears filled my eyes.

I killed the walkers around us and fell down by her I put her head in my lap.

"No, no, I'm so sorry Nikki." I said crying.

"It wasn't your fault I wasn't made for this world anyway." She said giving me a weak smile.

I whipped my tears but they still came down.

"Nikki." I said.

But there was no answer. I grabbed my pistol and held it to her head. I never thought I would have to kill my best friend. But I have to I can't let her turn. I gripped the gun my finger resting on the trigger.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm so sorry." I said.

BANG!

The bullet went through her head. Her blood covered my hands. My best friends blood was on my hands. I sat there crying I didn't care if a walker came and bite me I just killed my best friend. I then felt hands grab me but it wasn't any hands it was a walker. I screamed and turned around to stab only to get my fingers ripped off.

I screamed and stood up killing the walker I looked at my hand. It was my left hand and I hand no thumb or pointer finger and half a middle finger. Some of my palm was gone. No way can my immune system take this. I stood three holding my wrist blood gushed everywhere. I was just waiting for a walker to grab me and eat me. It was my time now. I looked around no one in sight they all left or died. I gulped and pulled out my gun. I fell to my knees, crying my eyes out. I held the gun to my head and felt the cold barrel against my head, my finger found it's way to the trigger and my finger rested on it for a minute. I looked one last time at Nikki then I heard my name begin called. I looked up to see Valerie and Michonne running over to me but it was to late my finger pulled the trigger.
