Miley's POV

"They can't do that!" I exclaimed making them jump. "There are hundreds of people out there, human lives-"

"It doesn't matter to them." He interjected with a sigh. "And thousands are already dead."

Timmy placed his hand on my shoulder and urged me to sit down. LJ said nothing while we sat down on the bench in front of them. The light in the office went out and their flashlight served in its place. The silence was painful. It's funny, I never thought silence could be this loud, if that makes sense.

"Man we gotta go." LJ said urgently. "We need to find this damned girl before its too late."

"Come on, we can't just leave them here."

"Hey," I said. "We may be sophomores, but when it comes to this we are actually okay. We've made it this far alive."

"Fine, whatever." LJ said trying to speed things up. "We got to go get the others anyways."

"Who are the others?" Timmy asked, which made LJ go silent to think.

"There's a cop, Jill Valentine I think, and some news reported chick." His finger snapped. "Oh, and his buddy!"

Hope filled Timmy's eyes once he heard Jill's name. It's like he's in love with her! Yeah she's cool and all but if she knew a way out she would've been long gone by now. Now he'll want to go with them. We can't just go with them and leave. Not with Shay out there-

"Miley," Timmy asked as my body froze. "What's wrong? You look pale."

"Shay, she's still out there. She doesn't know about the missile!"

He didn't even give himself time to think it over before he turned to them.

"Sorry guys. We've got a member of our own we need to find." He turned towards me.

The stood there waiting for us to explain who it is we are missing. But with out a warning we took off down the hall away from them. It was the only way too loose them. LJ tried to grab my hand but missed as we ran around the corner away from them. His voice rang throughout the hallway.

"Come on man! We need to go after-"

"Wasn't it you who wanted them to go?" Pause. "One of their friends is missing and was left behind. If it were me, well I'd be doing the same thing."

After hearing that I looked over and watched as Timmy let a smile spread across his face. He had finally made the right decision. Our feet echoed in unison as we ran towards the back of the building. That way we could get to Shay faster than going around.

Someone's scream came from the stairwell. Whoever is belonged too, it was too late now.

Bursting through the doors we ran down the hallway and something reached out and grabbed my ankle. It yanked me back and I fell onto the cold, hard floor. A zombie made it's way towards me hungrily while others emerged from the shadows. Death reached out for me.

"TIMMY!" I cried, hoping it wasn't too late. A dead high school boy grabbed my leg. He was my friends boyfriend.

"Miley!" Timmy grabbed my hand and kicked them off of me.

We ran up the staircase to the second floor. The math and science classes were in the main hallway. My third hour was open so we ran into the room and closed the door shut behind us. Leaving the mob on the other side banging at the thin door. It could give away any second.

Maybe there was something we could use as a weapon. That's what we were hoping for anyways. Good thing everything was falling into place. A hand punched through the door's window getting me in the shoulder.

"Hurry," Timmy ordered using a desk leg to break the glass. "Out the window!"

The space was tight but I managed to get through quickly. My hands rubbed against the glass shards on the roofs awning under the window cutting them up. The awning led all the way around the building to the back road which will lead to Main St.

A crash came from behind as the door gave out. The monsters came rushing through after me, aching for a bite. We ran down the awning with the windows down the wall all breaking. More zombies poured out of the windows and began chasing after us. Timmy ran ahead and jumped off.

He landed safely onto the ground and held up his hands out for me.

"Jump!"

"I can't! You know I'm afraid of heights!" I said as they grew closer.

"It's either jump or die!" He yelled, "Don't worry! I'll catch you."

"But-"

"Trust me!"

Timmy's POV

A nod was all I got from her as she disappeared from me sight. Then she appeared again ready to jump off. She was doing a run and jump so she couldn't back out. Several of the undead grabbed her and followed as she jumped off.

One the way down they let go and fell around me. She landed safely in my hands with her eyes closed. Not waiting to put her down, I ran down the street as crows took flight. She was lighter than I expected but I couldn't stop now. The zombies were after us already.

"All citizens must report to the Raccoon City Police Station immediately for evacuation."

The announcement rang over the city.

We are so stupid! That's probably the first place she went and has been there all along. When they announced it earlier we didn't hear exactly what it said because we didn't listen. Miley kept her eyes covered as I ran past several more zombies. That jump really scared her big time.

Something warm against my chest began to spread, and red stained ran throughout my tee-shirt. One of the zombies had got her in the shoulder. Badly. A tear rolled down her cheek as I jumped over a cop helmet. Her body landed against mine where her wound was and sent pain through her. I know this because when I landed she tensed up and more blood oozed out.

"Don't worry Miles," I said crossing over to the second block. " We're almost there."

She nodded and clung to me.

A few minutes later we were at the gates to the station. They creaked open as I ran towards the steps and sat her down. Giving her a pat I closed the gate back so the undead couldn't get in. She lowered her hands and looked over at me. Her eyes were red. She must have been crying more than I realized. I felt a breeze go against my tear wet arm. That explains a lot.

The blue in her eyes sparkled when the light above us shined brighter then lowered back to almost nothing. My gaze landed on her shoulder.

"HOLY SHIT!"

"Is it that bad?"

"HELL YEAH!" I said running over to her. My hand pulled back the ripped clothing sticking over the wound. I sucked in a breath. "Oh God, are you alright?"

She nodded then winced as I pulled another piece of cloth off. Grabbing the collar on the end of my now ragged and ripped jeans, I pulled off a long strip of cloth from both sides and tied them together. A cry came from inside her mouth as she bit back her lips. The cloth easily wrapped around the wound and tied into a perfect not. Health class had some benefits. The guest speaker was a paramedic and taught us how to dress wounds.

With a smile she sighed. "I'm alright now. Thanks, Timmy." A laugh escaped her lips. "What was that line from Romeo and Juliet? The one Mercutio said to Romeo when he got hurt?"

I smiled. "Tis but a scratch." and with my clean hand I wiped the tears and bloody hair from her eyes. She laughed. "Only you would remember that line."

I snorted. "Only you would remember that movie."

She took in a breath and coughed it back out.

"Asshole.." She said weakly.

"Bitch."

With a giggle she slowly sat up and I held her back down. "You need to rest for a while."

"Timmy I'm fine. It's already stopped hurting." She said happily. Then sat back up.

After helping her up, I gave her my shoulder to lean on. Kicking the door open I drug her inside and laid her down against the statue. Ripping another piece of cloth off I used it to get the rest of the blood off of us. I was now in shorts.

"Are you sure your okay?" I asked, seeing that the cloth had bled through already. She nodded, and helped herself up.

"I'm sure. They didn't bite me." She explained walking towards the door. "One of them grabbed my shoulder and ripped my skin open when it hit the ground beside me once you caught me."

She opened the door to our left and smiled back at me.

"Now, let's go find Shaylin."
