Chapter 2: Where You Go I Go
Garfield and Raven met in middle school threw two different social networks. Raven was a loner chick that everyone called Goth, while Gar was the sports guy that everyone thought was fun loving. Gar accidentally hit Raven with a soccer ball while she was reading in the bleachers during one of his practices. He apologized but she just ignored him and looked down at her book that was dropped into the mud from an earlier rain.
She just glared at him and walked away. The next day she walked to school and in her desk sad a brand new copy of the book that was ruined the day before. She then found Gar sneaking peeks at her threw their classes they had together.
After that he began sitting with her at lunch and talking to her even if she never talked back. Raven just assumed he would tire of her and move on forgetting the Goth chick. But one day she was being picked on by the basketball team who were playing keep away with her backpack. Gar came in and got into a fight with 4 guys, he didn't win, he actually got the crap kicked out of him. But when the boys left and he woke up in the nurses office, Raven was sitting next to him smiling.
From that day they hung out like they were attached at the hip. Threw high school Gar joined the soccer, and baseball team while she went to every single game and most practices to watch him play. Gar was very sociable but if anyone picked on Raven he would duke it out like he was on WW Smack down.
In their senior year Garfield and Raven applied to college in London to move in together in a college dorm. Raven was accepted on an academic scholarship while Gar was accepted on a athletic scholarship. They left the day after graduation, both saying goodbye to their families.
Raven just had a dad who was a complete drunken ass hole so she barley even said a goodbye as she slammed the door in his face.
Gar's family wasn't much better but it had it's moments. His mother was a sweet woman who greeted Raven each time she came over. But his dad was a judgmental ass hole who always criticized Gar. Once Gar invited him to his game but the night after he told Gar what he should have done, even though he won the game. His older brother was also a jerk, he called Raven the dark chick or sometimes even, the grudge. Once Gar sucker punched him and got grounded for a week. When he told them he was leaving for London with Raven to go to school, his mother was so happy but his father forbid it saying he would work in the factory with him and his brother. Garr just shook his head and gathered his stuff and gave a sad goodbye to his mother and a middle finger to his father and brother who were watching from the garage as they were going to work.
The day they landed and got to their dorm is when they heard the news that America was under attack. At first they thought it was just another media scare but after a week of watching the news they began to realize that the united states were falling. The school told the students classes would be canceled for the semester so the army could station on campus.
Gar and Raven both were devastated. Raven was going to study medicine and become a doctor, while Gar had his heart set on becoming a zoologist since he just loved animals to the point of becoming a vegetarian at age 6.
They got an apartment near the college and established what to do. They planned on getting job's and waiting it out until next semester. Well that was until the infection that the news was talking about hit London. The planes that were bringing people here were now either all gone or not coming back.
They were eating dinner when the fire alarm to their apartment went off and they ran out to see the college of their dreams go up in flames. The bell tower ringing as the once beautiful campus was filled with screaming people wither on fire or eating other people.
Garfield took Raven back into their apartment and they packed up some stuff and left. They followed the crowded streets of car's and people to get out of the city.
But an infected jumped from a building onto a car and smashed the window's open and pulled out a woman as it bit her neck open and began to eat her. Chaos consumed the crowds as people exited their car's and ran. Garfield held Raven's hand as they were pushed around. Suddenly their hands were separated and both screamed each others names as they were thrown around in the crowds of screaming people and infected.
Gar jumped onto a car and looked the crowds over and saw Raven eight cars ahead of him being dragged by a military man to the safety zone. Gar screamed her name but she couldn't hear him.
He fought his way to the front and the military men pushed him threw at well. Hoards of people were shoved to a dock where they were loading boats. Garfield growled as he wished he could stand on something again to find her. But their was so much noise she wouldn't hear his screams. For all he knew she could be screaming for him now.
He was about to load onto the boat when the boat caught fire and everyone went
screaming in the other direction. He fell down and covered his face as everyone left an opening where they once were and he saw Raven in the same position covering herself. He raced to her and embraced her in a hug as he was pulling to the crows but this time keeping both hands on her. They jumped into a stoop of a random hotel and ran inside the once fancy building that was now turned over like a trash bin and ran up the stairs. On the twentieth floor they were panting and gasping. Gar saw a door open and pulled her to it slowly. Once inside he closed it and checked everywhere. It was clear since the owner ditched in a hurry.
The both collapsed on the carpet and Gar looked to Raven and lunged her as he held her close. He told her to never get separated from him again. Soon after they established that level as there hole as they blocked off the stairs and checked each room. All the rooms had a fridge full of priced up food but Garfield didn't think whoever owned these places would mind. Power went out the second day so it was cold at night with no heater. A military woman and a newspaper boy heavily armed found them and they lived together for a month. Until the woman committed suicide, she told them she saw her children die in front of her so Raven knew it was only a matter of time. One morning they two woke up and found the news paper boy gone. He left the ammo and guns but he was just gone.
One look out the window told them he followed the woman's pace and killed himself late at night when they slept.
Garfield and Raven made a promise to each other that neither will ever let it come down to that for either of them. The second month went by fast for them since none of the infected had tried to come near the hotel much. Garfield had scavenged the other floors for food and picked off a few stragglers here and there with a knife he found on the military woman's body before they threw her from the window since the couldn't bury her.
By the third month a man and his sister joined them since Gar saved them from a group of infected trying to get a bite in the lobby. They made friends with them and pretty soon had a routine down for their days.
But things changed when it hit the sixth month for them. A crazy man in a truck with 3 other survivors ran into the lobby with the truck to escape the infected. Butt it only caused attention as the man and his young daughter and wife ran from the car since it was smashed into the front desk and tried to get to the roof but 30 infected ran into the building after them. Garfield and Raven and Sue and Derek the other two survivors ran to the fire escape and ran down it. The family that ran in was taken down one by one on the stair case but the infected kept gong up to their barricade. They jumped from the fire escape and Garfield hotwired a car and drove them past all the infected. But as they came to the city limits it ran out of gas and a huge group of infected saw them and began chasing them.
They ran from the car and just made a break for the tree's. Gar turned and shot the closer ones giving some distance as others tripped over the bodies. They made it out of the city but were being chased by 23 infected. While running down a huge pasture of green grass for about 15 minutes Raven began screaming she couldn't go on for long. Gar told her to keep going and they broke into another fit of tree's. Gar turned and picked off 6 infected with the gun. A scream was heard as they all turned their heads and saw Sue trip and not soon after a infected lunge onto of her biting her ear off. Derek screamed and tried to stop but Gar grabbed him my the shirt and reminded him once your bit your gone and to keep going.
Derek soon began to tire out and as much as Gar screamed for him to hurry he just began to laugh insanely and told Gar that he doesn't want to run forever. And so he stopped and sat down. Gar stopped and picked off three infected but soon they swarmed Derek and he screamed and laughed. Gar cursed and ran after Raven who was stumbling and gasping. She was never very athletic. She joined Gar on morning job's back in high school but never sports.
The broke away from the tree's and saw a cabin up ahead. He told her to run to it while he picked off the rest but the gun jammed. He cursed and took her hand and then ran down a long field to the houses. Gar glanced back and wish he hadn't because not even a foot away was an infected screaming. Gar turned and screamed,
"Fuck! Raven Don't look back keep going!" He felt hot breath on his neck and was getting ready to get bitten when a shot rang out and the infected behind his launched backwards with a bullet in the head. Gar gasped as a voice screamed,
"Get down!" Gar didn't have to think twice as he grabbed Raven's hand and slid them to the ground with his gun pointed up to anything that might be behind them.
13 infected were running towards them and he began to aim when he noticed one by one they were dropping like flies. He looked to the house and saw nobody though.
Raven was gasping for air her chest raising and falling, she felt like she was going to die.
A minute later all the infected were dead and all was silent. Gar whispered to Raven,
"Stay down"
