I had finally stopped crying, and yet she still held onto me...or was it me who won't let go. My body kept shaking, and I still clutched onto her...the same way I held Justin when it was the last I'd seen him. The more I thought about it, the more I draw myself to tears. I hadn't cried this much in such a long time, but it needed to be let out. I started to relax once she used the same method on her. She sniffed me. My grip on her eased out, as well as my crying. "I'm sorry for crying so much on you. It's not common for me to do that." She shook her head and looked at me.
"It's time for you to stop apologizing. You want the best for Justin right? Then stop living in regret. I know you promised to go with him, but you've done what's right... . what you've gone through is different from what I remember." From a smile she had, it turned into a frown. "A deals a deal... . It's my turn to tell about my past now." Letting go of our embrace, she remained clutching onto my hand. " Me and my boyfriend were running away from the infected. We've always been together, and I thought I always could trust him...but I was wrong..."
WITCH'S PAST P.O.V.
Me and him were at my apartment watching movies. I always asked him if he was seeing someone else because I always heard people say they saw him with another girl, but...I never believed them unless he said so himself. He always said no, then called me pretty. Even when I was alive, I was insecure about myself, but I felt better when he told me I was pretty. So I ignored the subject and kept watching the movie with him.
We were in the living room with the lights off. The movie was playing. My direction was focused upon the screen, but I wasn't paying no attention to it. I could tell he was getting frustrated on his phone. I heard a lot of clicking sounds off of it. He usually doesn't get mad off of something like that, so I tried to message his shoulder so he could relax a bit, but he shrugged my hand away. I then knew I shouldn't help, so I sat back down. "Something isn't right. The connection isn't working, but it's not my phone bill cause I just paid it two days ago." He then put it back into his pocket and sat back and watched the movie again, but it cutted off into the news cast. The only time it does that, they turn it on to practice the emergency drill or a fire has started somewhere close by, but, it hadn't said either one. Me and him looked at each other for a moment but stopped once we saw an army man come up to the camera and start talking.
`This is not a practice drill, I repeat, this is not a practice drill! Everyone who is at home viewing this, please lock your doors, Windows, and stay quiet. A type of deadly virus has spreaded out, and is highly dangerous. The dead is walking among us. Anyone who goes outside will be killed and have the virus. We recommend everyone to stay inside until we have come. Again, this is not a practice drill.` The T.V. then turned into static. I didn't know what to believe, but never had we have an army guy broadcast instead of the regular news anchor man. We stayed silent for a while until we heard a scream from next door. The walls were banging, growls were heard, but her horrifying screech was heard much louder. It was then I knew they weren't lying. He ran to the door to lock it. I, however, came up to the window to shut it unroll I saw a tank come down the street, along with a bus behind it. I began to wave my hand out the window, along with screaming.
"Help! We're still alive in here!" It was then that they came switched their directions to go closer towards my building, but right when they did, loud bangs and screeching sounds came from my door. It startled me to the very dept of my bones. It was the infected trying to come in. They came to my door because I screamed. He came over next to me by the window and saw the tank park next to the building beneath from us. We saw one guy come out with a megaphone.
` Jump out of the building, it's the only safest way. We'll catch you both!" He then brought out a stretcher, along with a couple other people. I was about to jump out the window until my door slammed open. I turned to see my neighbor covered in blood. The bone in her leg was sticking out of her skin, and she had sharp teeths. Me and him froze, but right when she letted out a horrifying scream, we both moved frantically. I was getting ready to jump, but I was lifted up. He lifted me onto his back and faced the zombie woman.
"Why should if matter...it's not like I ever cared." He then threw me over towards the infected while walking back towards the window. Before I could even get back up, she started to bite me where my heart was. I was crying out loud but he didn't turn back for me... . I reached my hand for an item and found one of the plates I ate out of. As she kept attacking me, I crashed the plate against her head and she fell out. I didn't know how much time I had till the woman got back up, but I crawled to the window as much as I could. The spot where my heart was just kept bleeding, but I didn't stop. Why did I kept going...even when he betrayed me. Just thinking about it made me cry even more.
I reached the window and pulled on the curtain to help me up. Once I was fully balanced, I threw up blood out the window. My condition was getting worse by the second. All because I wanted to be with him...what was I so afraid of? I kept asking myself that.
I took a full look out the window and saw the tank still down there. They pointed there guns at me, but I shook my head. "I- I'm not a zombie! Please...help me-" "Shoot! She's turning into one of them!" He took the gun away from the soldier and shot me at my heart. I fell out the window. I couldn't believe it... no, I didn't want to believe at all. It was then I knew that my only fear was being alone...not being loved. Before I reached the floor, I died. What he did was more than wrong, but, I do not wish for harm ways towards him...
I didn't say anything to her, but held her close and tightly to me. She backed up a little and took off my hood. I moved Some strands of hair away from her face so I could see her eyes. Tears were falling down upon her face, but I quickly wiped them away from her cheek. She's very beautiful and gentle...she didn't deserve to die like that. Without myself knowing it, I moved closer and closer towards her face, and she also did the same. Our nose brushed slightly against each others until our lips locked. It was warm. My chest fluttered with unfamiliar emotions. I wanted to know what it was, so I licked her bottom lip for entrance and she opened her mouth slightly. I roamed around her mouth with my tounge, getting to know her even more from the inside out. We stayed doing this for about ten more seconds, but then we broke apart.
"I- I'm sorry, I didn't-" She kissed my cheek and imidietly stopped talking. I smiled at her. She smiled at me in return. I decided that we shouldn't talk about anything sad that's going to ruin this moment, so we just held each others hand and stared into each others hand. " I think I may have feelings for you. My heart my have stopped, but, it still hold feelings." I turned my face the other way cause I didn't know what face expression I made, and yet I kept going. "I don't want you to feel alone anymore, so I want to be with you and protect you at all cost. " Her eyes grew wide and she hugged me tightly. I took it as a yes. Me and her a special in our own way...the reason being that is because, we both have feelings...mostly for each other.
