4-Everything is Going to be Fine (TGWDLM Canon)

"Deb? Deb? What's going on?" Fear washed over Alice as Deb kept affirming her that everything was okay. Alice didn't believe her. Alice locked the door behind her trying to stop tears rolling down her cheeks as she stared out at someone that she didn't know. Cause whoever that was definitely was not her girlfriend.

Alice ran around the choir room finally sinking low behind a big drum. How the hell did she even get here? For the first time, she wished she was back in Clivesdale with her mother. If only she hadn't had that fight. If only she hadn't gotten off the bus. Alice sucked in a breath and knew she had to call her father.

"Alice?"

"Yeah"

"Alice oh, thank god, I've never been more happy in my life, your mother left me and moved you to Clivesdale."

"I'm not in Clivesdale" Alice finally answered sheepishly.

"What?"

I'm not in Clivesdale."

"No, no Alice. I saw you get on the bus to Clivesdale this morning."

"I got off-"

"What?"

"I got off the bus"

"You got off- got off?"

All Alice could do was nod silently as tears rolled down her face before answering, "To see Deb"

"To go see Deb? Goddamit Alice if Deb jumped off a bridge would you-"

"Dad! Not the time. I'm just really scared" Alice choked out

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know you're scared"

"But somethings wrong with Deb, dad."

"What- whats wrong with Deb?"

"I don't know! She's singing and dancing and-" 

"She's doing what?"

"Singing and dancing and-" Alice let out a quiet sob before continuing, "I'm so scared dad"

"Alice okay. Listen to me. You need to get away from her, you understand? You get far away."

"This isn't just because you don't like Deb?"

"No, this has nothing to do with me not liking Deb. Right now, you need to run and hide. Okay? Where are you?"

"Hatchetfield High, the choir room. Where should I go?"

"No no, no, you stay there. I'm coming to you. Okay?"

"Dad. I didn't say it often enough but-"

"No, no don't- don't you say" Alice couldn't keep it quiet anymore. She let a small whimpering noise escape. "Everything is going to be fine." her dad finished.

"I love you dad"

"I love you too."

Alice hung up the phone as dread filled her, she knew she was going to die in this choir room. Maybe if she hadn't had that fight with her dad she would be safe in Clivesdale right now. Alice made herself as small as possible against the drum, hearing not-Deb singing through the door. Trying to get her to join them. Alice texted her mother a quick goodbye as she curled up on the floor. The doors flew open and Alice realized that the infected had made their way into the room. 

She wished she could be brave like the characters in the musicals she worshipped. But she couldn't. It's kind of funny to think about if she were in a musical. What would she do? Because at seventeen she can take on the world. In musicals, as soon as you're seventeen you are capable of being brave in the face of danger. Stare down a psycho trying to blow up your school, decide to live forever, move out to Santa Fe, be a dancing queen so to speak. But Alice didn't feel like she could do any of that. Alice didn't feel brave. She felt small, knowing that this was going to be her end. Not even trying to put up a fight, she was smart enough to know it was a losing battle.

Alice looked up as Deb came into view. Alice took comfort in her girlfriends' smile when she was feeling down it always cheered her up. Now it was a smile of someone who wasn't Deb. Alice knew that she too would soon be smiling like that, stood up, and gave in. 

'this is all your fault'
