When time stops

Chapter five

Everything was going fine until Ash swerved off and jumped out of the car into the road, John slammed on the breaks as Ash backed out onto the highway more, they all got out and ran over ''What?'' John asked looking down at him seeing Ash was panting and started crying, he raised his hand pointing to the car, John and Jean walked over pulling their guns out, John grabbed the handle seeing the car was shaking, John pulled the door open making the two fall, out, Ethan held his neck while blood went everywhere, Ainsley jumped out tackling Jean, John was fast and shot Ainsley in the head, Ash ran over and fell to Ethan's side.

Isaac ran to the road stopping traffic from passing, Evin ran over and showed people a way around the situation, John looked down at him seeing Ethan look up at him before finally he stopped moving, his eye's still open, Jean sighed and crouched down ''We can make room in the jeep for you.'' Ash looked away crying more, John stood him up and hugged him while Jean stood up and looked at their friends, Evin looked back and walked over, Jean took his aside ''We should get them off the road.'' Evin nodded and turned around seeing John leading Ash back to the jeep.

Isaac looked back seeing Evin and Jean moving Ainsleys body off the road and looked back not really crying, John smiled getting him situated in the car ''I can drive.'' Ash said whipping his tears away, John smiled ''It's fine, Ashton, I understand alright, we can alsways come back for the car.'' he said ''John!'' he turned aroudn a just as Isaac grabbed Ethan pulling him away and moved him, Ethan then grabbed Isaac bitting into his soulder ripping a chunk of flesh out, John pulled his gun out aiming at Ethan as Isaac backed away holding his shoulder which was now bleeding a lot. Ash looked at John ''Shoot.'' John stared at Ethan, his dead eye's slowly turning to look back.

John froze staring at the situation, he gulped and steadied his aim, but before he could someone else shot. The bullet hit his head making him fall over, John lowered the gun and looked over seeing Jean and Evin run back ''What happened?" John sighed shutting his eye's ''He was bit.'' Jean looked at him ''What do you mean?'' Ash asked, John then looked over at Isaac ''If you're bit, you turn into one of them.'' Jean and Evin turned looking over to Isaac who over herd them and shut his eyes hanging his head.

Ash shook his head looking forward ''So this is zombies.'' Jean stated while John walked over and crouched down, Isaac held his hand out ''I don't wanna change.'' he said tear's threatening his eye's, John nodded and took the pistol out from behind him and handed it to Isaac, John got up while Jean walked over with Evin and pulled Ethan off the road and went back to the jeep. They got inside and John looked over to Isaac seeing him backing off the road and looked at them waving as John started the car and started driving, as they did they jumped hearing a gun shot behind them, John whipped a single tear from his eye.

Ash looked at him ''You hesitated.'' John didn't give any reaction ''So what?" he asked, Jean looked at him sitting in the back with Ash ''You hesited to shoot Ethan.'' John looked at the road trying not to think about it ''No, Jean just happened to pull the trigger before I could.'' Ash shook his head and looked outside ''You still care.'' John sighed and saw a car parked on the side of the road, they slowed to a stop after seeing who it was, Amanda ran across the road to them and Evin rolled the window down ''I convinced her to stop for you guys.'' she said and looked in the back ''Why are you in here?'' she asked before seeing the tear stains on Ashton's cheeks and looked to John seeing he was crying a bit.

''What happened?'' she asked while Georgia and Nathan walked across the road ''Took you long enough.'' Georgia spat and John and the other three glared at her before rolling Evin's window up for him and started driving causing the other's to run back getting into their car to follow them. John finally saw the sign that welcomed people into their city 'Welcome to Calgary.'
