All Alone (my creative writing assignment)

ALL Alone, Till Death Do We Part

By Alexis Zeringue

Chapter 1

This is a story of how I lost my brother and how the myth of runners came to life, but nothing like the fairytale. These were runners that were smart, fast, and extremely strong, but there's always a catch. The catch was that these runners looked exactly like humans. When the outburst of the virus happened most of the human population was killed off because they were mistaken for runners. I don't really call them zombies, I call them runners because they don't walk, they sprint every time they hear a noise or the smell of blood, so I call them runners. It's been 2 years since the one who I could trust, look up to, cry on his shoulder, yell at when I'm mad, and most importantly always love no matter what. ….That someone was m-my brother Justin or who I called J. It was hard for me when he got bit, it was all my fault because of a stupid damn necklace that was given to me by my our father who abandoned us when I was six and when J was seven. We got into a fight that escalated quickly, about how I could have died going into that abandoned mall alone… yes I know I'm stupid. I got mad at him cause he was treating me like a baby and said not to go out of his sight. He grabbed me by the collar to save my ass from getting bitten at the mall and in the process broke my necklace. I didn't realize that he broke my necklace till we got home and I was mad at J for breaking it and I was in a pissy mood and I overreacted like a bitch. *takes a breath* and screamed at him and ran outside when it was night. Of course, the runners are more active at night… so, yeah as you can guess I was in danger and sooner than I could blink I was tackled by two runners. Justin had to come and save my ass and in the process, as he did he got bit on the leg. He would have never gotten bit if it wasn't for me acting like an ass. We rushed inside I and I started to cry saying it was my stupid fault that I got him bit. I knew I had to be strong not just for me but for my big brother, so I put on a strong face and tended to his wounds and did all that I could for now.

He only had 1 hour before he turned.

"this is all my damn fault because of that damn necklace" I said panicked.

"no it's not Alexis" Justin said in pain.

"YES IT IS J, I WAS ACTING LIKE A BRAT AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, YOU BIT BECAUSE OF MY STUPID ASS" I screamed.

"I knew something like this might happen where you or I got bit so I made you something," Justin said softly holding me in his arms tightly.

"wait here ok lex I'll be right back" Justin said calmly in a soothing voice.

"ok" I said choking up trying not to cry.

As Justin is walking back to the couch where were sitting I looked him deeply in his sea blue eyes searching for surety, forgiveness, and praying that he was somehow immune to the bite.

"hey I'm going to be ok look at me everything's alright" Justin said trying to cry.

He sat down next to me looking at me which felt like forever, I knew exactly why he was staring at me, he was trying to make one more mental image of me.

"I will never forget your pretty light chocolate brown hair with what looks like melted gold blond ends, that match your light chocolate brown eyebrows and your clover green brownish eyes that glisten every time I look at them, oh I almost forgot your amazing smile with your pretty white teeth," Justin said.

“you forgot one thing” I said trying to smile proudly.

“Oh yeah, the tattoo that we got together on your 17th birthday” Justin said happily.

“Yeah the quote from Lilo and stitch that says Ohana means family and family never gets left behind -stitch-” I said smiling looking down at my wrist then to Justin.

“Here take this iPod it’s full of our favorite music, some of the songs we wrote together and it's full of stories that I narrated for you and it has diary entries that are meant for you to hear” Justin said as he handed me the iPod.

“Thanks this means a whole lot to me” I said trying not to cry.

By this time he only had minutes before he turned, ….ten minutes until he turned into a lifeless brain sucking creature. I would have to say the hardest part of him getting bit would be, having to put him down.

Now it was two minutes till I lost Justin.

He looked at me and said “come here I wanna hold you one last time before I go” he said starting to let a tear fall from his face.

I walked over to J and laid in his arms crying.

“I love you and that's all that matters lex, I'm glad I had a sister who I could do everything with and now I'm going to a better place, I saved your butt out there I just want you to know that I will always be watching over you like a hawk, kick some butt lex I'm counting on you” Justin said choked up.

“Of course I will you know me better than anyone” I said kissing him on the forehead and looking into his eyes deeply.

J started to turn into a lifeless empty human being… or in this case he was turning into a empty lifeless runner.

“I-I-I lo-love yo-you l-lex now d-do w-what y-you have to d-do” Justin said trying to be strong.

“I-I can't” I said sobbing.

“D-do it now!” Justin screamed.

I hugged him close and said “good by big bro I love you”.

I took my knife from my pocket and opened it and pushed it through Justin's right temple killing him instantly. I sobbed for hours that night, but then I realized that night, I should give him a proper burial so I dressed him in his favorite clothes and put him on his bed, and waited until morning. The saying “my life flashed before my eyes” actually sums it up. It happened so quickly I didn't really have time to cry or to feel sad, I guess I just fell into a deep dark pit of depression that never seemed to have a bottom.

Chapter 2

I awoke next morning and just sat up in my bed staring at the iPod J gave me just before he *sighs* passed. I Finally got enough courage to reach my lazy butt out of bed and grab the...ipod. It was a black iPod that had a case on it that was covered in red roses. I was curious if it had an engraving on the back so I took the cover off and-and looked on the back of the iPod, sure enough there was an engraving. It read, “If you're reading this that means i'm not here anymore, I love you whatever happened to me was to save your life or to protect you” I started to cry, and I put the case back on and held it close to my chest with my heart beating fast. It was about noon now, I had just finished my breakfast and grabbed my backpack and put snacks, drinks, some overnight clothes, movies, and my speaker with my phone, speaker, iPod charger and carried Justians lifeless dressed up body to our treehouse that was like a second house that had power, wifi, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom. I set my stuff down and dug a grave for J right by the tree, I put the stuffed bear that I got him when he got no valentines on valentine's day, and I put the necklace that dad gave me when he left us, and my four leaf clover that always gave me luck whenever I needed it in with him.

“You were always there for me when I needed you and I was there for you when you needed me, but when I needed u the most I pushed you away and it caused you your life. I am sorry for acting like a total idiot, I will always be thinking about you J, I love you so much it hurts like hell. I don't know really what else to say except I should be the one in that grave, you died because of me J, because of me. If only I didn't act like an idiot, you would still be here. I love you and will never forget you” I said over his grave. I sat next to the tree by Justian and put my earbuds in and started to listen to the iPod, I selected the one that said “I'm sorry I left you lex” I sighed heavily, and hit play. Listing to it with my eyes closed made me feel like he was right next to me and nothing had ever happened. I thought I heard a noise I took out my earbuds and was afraid to open my eyes. I got up and slowly opened my eyes there were about three or four runners out a mile in front of my gaze. My heart began to race, I had so much fear and adrenaline pumping through my body it felt like I was about to have a heart attack. I started to run and climb up the treehouse because I knew I could not fend them off on my own. Little did I know that was a dumb idea, because they started to climb and fast. I knew I had to go and hide and fast, I went to the bathroom and hid in the shower. Then I heard the runners ripping open the roof of the treehouse, at that moment I thought to myself I'm done for, but I realized, wait there is a door. I ran out of the shower fast as I could to the bathroom door, but right as I was about to open the door, I heard a noise that made my heart drop into my stomach, a noise that I never wanted to her at that very moment. It was trying to open the door! In my head, I was screaming DO SOMETHING YOU GODDAMN IDIOT! But instead, I knew I was done for no matter what I did, so put my earbuds in and went into the shower and sat down starting to cry. The runners made it through the roof and the bathroom door, I hit play and started to listen to Justin's voice one very last time and closed my eyes tensing up waiting for my fate to come. There were six words that stood out to me from justin's voice… IT’S GOING TO BE OK.
