Chapter 1: Jaimie
"Jaimie come with me, please JAIMIE! Don't do this again, not now!" I screamed but it wasn't getting through to her, like she was oblivious to the world around her, to the fact that she could be dead in the next ten seconds. I had "saved" her before but it always seemed like she was tired. Tired of running. Tired of fighting. Tired of life.
The walkers finally broke through the weak excuse of a door that was keeping them off of the rooftop that we were standing on."Jaimie please I am begging you, please JAIMIE!" But still she sat there starring. "FINE! Have it your way" and I jumped to the next rooftop. I gave a single glance back and all of my memories, good and bad rushed me. I couldn't bring myself to go back and check if reality had sunk in and she had escaped or if the walkers tore her apart.
I travelled for the next two days barely stopping to take a breath, I knew that it was stupid, knew that being tired was a weakness I couldn't afford if I wanted to keep going, but I wasn't even sure if I wanted to keep going. I had no idea where I was going because all I could think about was Jaimie.
I kept wondering if I could have saved her or if she was a lost cause. I dragged her across four states, through hell and all she wanted was for me to let her go, to end it for her but I was selfish. I made her come with me and that wasn't fair. I wish I could go back in time and let her know how much I loved her and that I would never stop loving her, not even for a second.
I walked for day after day, for week after week and the whole time I felt so guilty for leaving my sister to a fate worse than death, to become one of them. I finally realised that she didn't want to go on, Not anymore. she couldn't.
In that moment of clarity, of realisation a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders because I told myself that Jaimie wanted me to leave her. I still felt awful, I still do, but I had finally justified my own actions. The clouds were dark and looked like they might burst at any moment and it was so dark I could barely see and just then a walker pounced on me from out of nowhere. I managed too knock it down and finish it off. Then I saw them, there must have been at least a hundred walkers. Slowly but surely getting closer.
