Chapter 13: Live Your Life
Andy, Jesse, John, Wesley, and I get in the Jeep as everyone waves goodbye. I look out the window to see my reflection. My dreads haven't been turning white lately. I guess that's a good thing.
Jesse holds my hand. I grin to her and she grins back. "Okay, we get it, you love each other." Wes says. I roll my eyes as we finally get to our destination. For some reason, andy pulls up to the back of the school instead of the front. But I don't ask questions. I look at the school once I get out of the jeep, and I'm shocked. The place doesn't look the same anymore.
It looks broken down and abandoned. I look at Wesley and John who have the exact same expression. "Okay, reason we're in the back is because it's easier that way. Don't ask why. All you need to do guys is go and get the stuff, we will refuel and head back to the camps once you're finished." Andy says.
He stays in the jeep while the rest of us open the door. I start walking and the places lights are dying. Just flickers and flickers going off. "I wonder if my lockers still here." I start to run to my locker. Everyone joins me.
I look and I find it. "Wow. This is your locker?" Jesse says. I was a long locker with a bunch of stickers on it. "Yeah. Don't judge me." Jesse starts laughing and Wesley and John in. "Man, we had good times here." Wes says. "Yeah. But come on, let's go get the gas."
We walk to the basement of the school, while I look back at my old locker. We get downstairs and it's really dark. Jesse holds my arm and I sqeeze back. "Never fear, Wes-Man is here." Wesley says heroically. He takes a flashlight and shines it.
"Thank me later." He says. I roll my eyes and smile and we look to see a supply of food, water, everything. We get the supplies and I see some gas and take it. Once we get or stuff, we all sit down and do nothing.
After 10 minutes of cuddling with jesse in the basement closet. I start to remember about the gas. "Alright guys, we should get going." We get up and stretch and leave the closet.
We go up the stairs to hear groaning sounds coming from the hallway. "Oh no. The Dead are near." I said. I peak the door open a little bit. I see about 5 zombies. That's a good thing because we can take 'em. "Ok. So about 5 zombies are out there. But we can take them down easily."
"Yeah. Let's go." Wes says. I open the door and John shoots the zombie with the gun. Luckily, it had a silencer. I take my swords and slice one zombies neck. It bleeds and I stab them in the head. Jesse stabs a zombie in the head with her knife and pushes the zombie back making a thud.
Wesley whacks the zombie with his hammer and the zombie falls back. It falls to the floor and Wesley still whacks it's head. "Die!" He screams. He starts whacking it until it's forehead opens up reveling the zombies brain.
I look at the other end of the hall and hear more groaning, but there's a lot more zombies this time. Matter of fact, there's too many for us to handle. "Wes. We gotta go." He doesn't stop. When he does stop the zombies get closer. And closer.
"Wes! Come on!" He looks and sees the zombies." We all run down the hallway to the back of the school. But even more zombies see us. "Damn it! We'll go through the front." We all turn around and go to the entrance. I'm starting to sweat hard. My feet hurt and I'm losing breath. But I gotta stay strong.
We get to the middle of the hallway near the entrance. But now the front has some zombies coming. The other two hallways to the right and left have zombies coming too. That's it, we're trapped.
I think of a plan to get us out. "What do we do?"Wes askes. John starts shooting some zombies at the entrance, while I tell Jesse and Wes to help me kill the ones all around us. After 13 bullets wasted. I look at the entrance and a good path is clear for us. Altought I see zombies still approaching from a dark corner.
"Run! Come on!" We all make a run for it while the zombies follow us to the entrance door. I run with sweat dripping down my forehead. A zombie from out of nowhere tries to get me, but I dodge and jump strait into the entrance area. To actually get out of the school, you had to open 2 doors. Then there was a space between the two.
I get in there and I block the zombies from coming in. My heart is beating out of chest. Jesse and John block the other 2 doors, while Wesley blocks the door next to me. I can see the worry on everyone's faces.
"Oh crap. Crap! HOW ARE WE GONNA GET OUT OF THIS?!" Wes screams. "I don't know. But we're not going out like this. I'll make sure of it." I look in to jesse eyes. She looks scared, but she still looks beautiful. "Wait, I just remembered. I brought rope from the basement. Maybe we can tie them around the doors." Wes says
"That's... not a bad idea. Let's do it." Wes gets the ropes and we all help tie around the doors. "Okay everyone let go on 3. 1... 2... 3" We all let go and the zombies struggle to push the doors open. The doors were completely sealed. Well... almost sealed.
Jesse comes to me and kisses me. "That was just in case we don't make it." She says after giving me a slow, passionate kiss. "Don't say that. We'll get out of here alive. All of us." I told her. She gives me a hug and I pull away.
"Okay, the zombies are blocking all of our way of being free, so how do we get out of here without dying." John says. "I don't know. But there has to be a way." We all start to look for a place to escape from.
I look up into the ceiling and see a latch door. Eureka! I thought. "Guys, I found a way to get outta here." I point upwards and they find the latch door. "Yes. That's perfect!" Jesse says. "Yeah. We might not actually die." Wes says.
"Okay, maybe we can get someone up there to open it. Then we all climb up and leave." I say. Wesley pulls jesse up to the latch door and she silently curses to herself. "This thing needs a key."
Damn. We don't have much time. THINK MARTIN! I thought. Then I see a dead body laying on the floor. I walk slowly towards it. "Holy crap. It's the principal." I told everyone. "Maybe he has the key." John said.
I search him to see if he had the key, until I feel a key hid in his left pocket. Eureka! I thought. I give jesse the key and she gets lifted by wesley. I look at the rope holding the doors. They're almost starting to rip. The latch door opens and jesse gets on the roof.
"Yes! Okay, let's go. Quickly." John says. Wes pulls John up and he gets on the top. The rope is nearly starting to break. "See you on the top." Wes says as he pulls me up. I get to the top of the entrance and stick my hand out to wes.
"Okay, I got you, just take my hand." Wesley jumps and grabs my hand. I almost fall with him. Man he's heavy. I get a good grip on Wesley, until the rope breaks! The doors from all 4 entrances open, the glass from the other 2 sides open too.
"AHHH!" Wesley screams. Oh no! Crap! I thought. As soon as the zombies get in, I lose grip of Wesley. "No!" I screamed. Jesse and John get to me and look down. Surprisingly, I see Wes get back up and push some zombies out of the way.
I grab his hand, while John and jesse grab me so I can pull Wes back. I already lost ryan, IM NOT LOSING MY BEST FRIEND! I thought. I try to pull him up, but the zombie are too strong. "This is it, man." He says. "Go on with out me. It's been a good ride buddy, and I love you. Both you and John." I can see him cry. Which makes me cry.
"I know this is sad, but goodbye, dude. Go live life!" He says. I start to cry like a baby. He let's go of his grip, and falls on his back. "No! WESLEY!" I screamed. As I see him on the floor surrounded by zombies, all I can hear is the screaming pain of agony. I see the zombies open up his chest and expose his guts.
Tears and tears run down my face like rain. I start to sob and so does John and jesse. I watch, as the zombies pull apart his face and bite all over him. "We... we g-gotta go. Now." John says. I can see the sadness in John's face. Losing ryan was sad, but I just saw my best friend get devoured by zombies.
