let myself think about that. We WILL make it to the city and get her help for her arm. And I will be damned if I don’t get her to Devin. He is like a brother to me I am worried about him just as much as Wil…. Well maybe not as much, but still, I am worried.
    “Wil no matter what happens when we get to them fight like hell and run as soon as you can. DO NOT wait for me Wil. You run!” I look over at here waiting for her reply.

    “I will not leave you Liv!” I yell at her.
    “Yes you will. I have already left you once. I will not make that mistake twice.” She stops and grabs my good arm. “Promise me Wil if you get the chance you run like hell,” she demands.
    I can feel my tears falling again as I shake my head. Even now she still blames herself for what happened so long ago in high school.
    “No I….I can’t Liv… I wo...won’t,” I cry.
    I don’t even try to hide my tears. I let them fall and hope that she knows that no matter what I won’t walk away. I can’t walk away from her. She reaches up wiping the tears from my cheeks as they fall.
    “Wil promise me! I will not be the reason you get hurt again!” She yells.
    I shake my head and start to walk past her. I don’t want to even think about this much less talk about it. The flesh eaters are getting closer and closer the longer we stand here and talk. I wince as I move the makeshift brace on my arm and continue to walk.
    “Let’s go Liv,” I snap. I hear her mumble something under her breath followed by her heavy footsteps behind me.
    Oh shit! They are so close now I can hear their moans. I turn to look at Liv and give her a small nod as if to ask if she is ready. She nods back and lunges forward knocking one smack in the face with her large stick. Oh fuck fuck fuck! I quickly jump to the left as one lunges for me. It misses and falls flat on its face. I ram my stick into another one’s ear just as it is about to make Liv’s back its afternoon snack. She has three of them coming at her and she is doing her best to keep them at bay. I have one more coming at me. A big mangled tattooed guy who looks like he could snap me in half with one flick of his wrist. I look down at my puny stick and then back at him. Oh shit! He lunges for me and I jump back stumbling over the fallen flesh eater that I jabbed in the ear earlier. He quickly descends on me.
    “Ahhh! SHIT!” I yell out. He is snarling and biting at me. I quickly shove my stick in his mouth keeping his nasty flesh filled teeth at bay. I hear Liv scream out and I try my best to look and see if she is okay. I know I am not in the best position to help her, but I will try my damnedest to get to her.
    She is on her stomach reaching for a knife that is in one of the fallen flesh eater’s chest. She has one climbing up her legs as she struggles to get the knife. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my arm and my first thought is I am big guys’ main course. I quickly look up and to my relief he is just pulling at my hurt arm. I cry out in pain as he twist and turns it trying to get it in his mouth. I wiggle my right foot free and give him a swift kick. I put everything I have into that kick and to my surprise it knocks him off of me just enough so I can scramble away. Just as I am getting up off the ground I hear Liv yell.
    “WATCH OUT!” Before I can turn around I feel big guy tackle me from behind pinning me to the ground once more. Liv is quick to my rescue as she jams the knife in the top of his skull. His body falls on top of me as the blood seeping out of his fresh head wound drips down onto my face.
    “EWW!” I desperately try and push him off of me but he feels like he weighs a ton. Plus I only have one arm so that makes it even more difficult.
    “Stop before you hurt yourself even more,” Liv says as she shoves the flesh eater off of me and helps me to my feet. She is covered in blood herself and instantly I think the worse.
    “Oh my gosh! Are you hurt?” I
