Dirk
About a week later
Oh my god what was that?!
"Oh no!"
"Oh my god!"
"What the heck just happened?!"
Everyone was shouting and freaking out, and it was only further distracting me from trying not to die. The crowd of zombies was really thick, and I had to be on my guard at all times if I was going to make it out alive.
"Behind you Dirk!" Jake shouted from somewhere I couldn't even see. I whipped around and sliced my katana through the zombie practically breathing down my neck.
Holy crap I almost died. I had had many near-death experiences before, but this time it was because I was too busy panicking about the loud scream we all heard moments ago.
Now we were all frantically looking around for the source while simultaneously trying not to get hurt ourselves. I was mentally listing all the voices I was hearing now. Who was missing?
"Jane!" I heard Roxy scream from a little bit back up the street. Oh no. We all slowly fought our way towards her voice where we saw Roxy fighting off zombies that were trying to get towards... Jane's body, lying bloodied and unmoving on the ground. Oh no oh no oh no.
Roxy glanced over at us, wide-eyed with tears streaming down her face. "Help me get them away so I can check on her!" she said.
We quickly formed a circle around her and cleared the area enough for her to kneel down by Jane. Every couple seconds I was able to turn around to get a look at what was happening.
She was frozen in place, staring at Jane with a look on her face that told me something was definitely wrong.
"What's going on back there?!" I called.
She didn't answer me.
"Roxy?!" I looked back at her, panicking for a second, but she was fine. She just wasn't responding.
"Cover me!" I shouted to Dave as I ducked into the circle and ran over to Roxy.
I got on my knees next to her and looked at her face. She was sobbing and threw her arms around me the moment she saw me.
"Roxy what-"
I turned my eyes to Jane. She had deep scratches and bites all over, and her clothes were completely soaked in blood. Her eyes were closed and she didn't look like she was breathing. No. I carefully pushed Roxy off me and leaned over to check her pulse.
Nothing.
"No..." I whispered. She couldn't be dead. She was the one who held me together before Jake and Roxy showed up. She was the innocent one. She wasn't supposed to die. All she ever did was try to help, but now she was the one we couldn't save. The one I couldn't save.
I had failed her, after everything she did for me. She tried so hard to make me see the good side of things. She told me that everything would be alright, as long as I could stop focusing on all the bad things and focus on the good.
"There's a lot of things we can't stop in life, but we still manage to be happy anyway, right?" she had said, "I figure there's good stuff and bad stuff around us all the time. And it doesn't matter how small the good stuff is, it can distract us from the bad stuff! So why not focus on the good stuff? All it will do is make us feel better. And if we feel better, we might even be able to hold up better against the bad stuff when we can't avoid it."
Remembering what Jane said to me made me think. What if she was right? I looked at her again. Then I looked behind me at Jake, fighting off zombies just fine with still nothing but his two tiny pistols. He was still alive. After all this time, after the weeks I spent thinking I was never going to see him again, he was still here. I don't know what I would have done if he had really died. The fact that I still had him was probably the only thing keeping me somewhat sane.
That was it; that was something positive I could focus on. Jane was dead, but I couldn't let it destroy me. If I didn't have something else to drive me forward, I would be stuck in a state of regret and depression forever. That wasn't what Jane would have wanted. She would have wanted me to get up and keep going. So that's what I was going to do.
I grabbed Roxy by the arm and helped her up. "It's going to be okay," I whispered, pulling her away from Jane's body. It felt horrible to just leave her there, but there was nothing else we could do.
Just then I saw Jake look back towards us. Now he was crying too. "I-is she..."
I nodded.
A/N: They're done with death he said. Everything's going to be okay he said.
