There was nothing but tension.
Michael was in the back seat staring at me while I just played with my fingers.
I had enough of Michael staring at me so I got out of the car and made my way over to a bench and sat on it, I immediately zoned out and started thinking about what happened.
I mean did I do the right thing? Should I have just shot her instead of letting her suffer.
Now Michaels going to think I'm some psycho that likes cutting peoples arms off. He wouldn't even let me explain what happened.
"Why would you do that?" Michaels face was etched with confusion and sadness.
"I- I-" How was I supposed to explain that I let some walker bite Jenns arm, than he'll think I'm some jackass with no heart.
"Uh a- a walker it bit her." I said frowning as I remembered what happened.
"Woah ok, so you let a walker bite her?" Michael said crossing his arms in disbelief.
"Ok I know you think I'm some cold hearted asshole right now but I wouldn't stoop that low!" I can't believe he actually thinks that I let the walker bite her, I mean I technically did but not intentionally.
"Well What am I supposed to think?! You cut my best friends arm off right infront of me!" He exclaimed.
"Well sorry for not wanting the virus to spread through her body! I had no choice." I said as I flailed my arms up.
We both turned our heads to the car as we heard groaning, we quietly made our to the car. I pulled out my pistol just in case she turned into... one of those, even the thought made me cringe.
I sighed in relief when she spoke.
"G-guys, what happened to my arm." She stuttered looking like she was going to faint again.
"Don't you remember what happened?" I asked in confusion.
"Yeah the walker it bit me and then you... cut my arm off." She said in realisation.
Michael rushed over to her side and pulled her out off the car.
"Do you know how scared I was? I saw you get your arm amputated infront of me, I -I saw it all, I don't believe you're okay with that, are you?" Michael said gazing deeply into her eyes as he dramatically grasped her shoulders.
"Michael what do you expect me to say? He saved my life.If he didn't cut my arm off I could've died." She trailed off.
"Yeah but then you could've bled to death." He squinted his eyes.
"Well I didn't." She said shaking Michaels hands off of her shoulders and making her way towards me, "Thank you? I mean I'm not sure what to say you kinda cut my arm off, with good intentions of course." She told me looking at her upper arm.
"You're welcome I guess?" I smiled sadly bringing her into a side hug.
~*~*~*
I woke up to screaming.
"LUKE!"
...
"Luke, help! We need help!"
I rushed out of the car trying to follow the voice.
"Luke there you are thank god! Michael, he w-was shot." She said stumbling over towards me.
She grabbed my arm and dragged me towards Michaels unconscious body.
"What are we supposed to do?!" She sobbed as she gripped her hair.
Before I could respond a man comes out from behind the trees.
"I don't mean any harm." He says as he places his shot gun on the floor.
"Yeah, than why did you shoot my friend?!" Jenn sniffled.
"I- I though he was a biter."
"Look, do you know where we can get help?" I questioned the old man.
"Yeah I live on a farm and there's a guy that might be able to help you, just keep running to that direction." He said pointing his finger.
I grabbed Michael throwing him over my shoulder and started running with the others behind me.
As I kept on running a small house came into view with fences around the big plot.
"The guy you're looking for is Hershel!" I hear the man from behind me shout.
I immediately opened the fence door and made my way towards the porch. I continuously knocked on the door until a chubby man was revealed.
"Are you Hershel?" I said out of breath from all the running.
"Yes, now come in." He said leading me in.
I laid Michael on the couch, " Was he shot?" Hershel asked me as he examined the wound.
"Yeah, one of your man shot him thinking he was some walker..." I trailed off.
"Well he has a pulse, and the bullet hasn't gone to far in, Jamie was probably abit far away from this young man considering he shot him with a shot gun." Hershel said as he brought his tools.
"I'm going to need you to leave while I operate..."
"Michael"
"Do you know how long the operation would take?"
"Probably an hour, now leave I don't have much time."
Doing as told I left the room and made my way next to Jenn in the dining room.
