love and hurt

My head was triggered to hurt, my body unexpectedly was relieved of tension. But the old man came off more uneasy than I was. There were several people in that room, including dian and me. Some of them were scared and we're hiding, some of them were with guns in their hands. But, there was me who was constantly digging into Max. How was he? I was beyond anxious about where max was. Dian meanwhile started again to refill the bullets into the g*n. I didn't understand anything but I was deciding to give in my best to get all of my friends out of this place. I pushed away from the old man and walked towards dian. I took the g*n into my hands and sit there in front of the locked door just to wait for all of them to come inside.

The old man weirdly still observes me, I glimpsed at him and began again to wait patiently. He walks near me slowly and speaks, "what are you waiting for?" I clench the g*n and reply, "I am waiting for my boyfriend, my boyfriend to come back." I said while my voice was cracking. "he is no more." That was it, my mind went numb for a moment. What was the old man even saying? Does he even know who was Max? What is going on? I had a lot of issues and questions with this situation. But I still decide not to believe this and take deep breaths. The locked huge room with so many people my eyes were shutting I needed sleep. My stomach was growling I was hungry, and I was tired I wanted to rest already. But for all of that to happened, we had to pull ourselves together for battle against zombies. The zombies were still in front of the huge doors, hiring it and still wanting to get inside. Since it was huge with so many windows, all of them has to be plastered.

Later as the night passed, and we all started to eat the food that was packed for the customers. The old man still kept eyeing me from a distance and I had nothing else to do but just wait for max to arrive. The sounds and smell of zombies were also so thick and bothersome. I started again to try to get some sleep. As I close my eyes I see max in my dreams. He was babbling about himself, I didn't realize why but rightfully my dreams were about him. I missed everything about him for real now. I didn't know how was he, and all of this suddenly happening just started to scare me a lot. It felt like max was really someone I lost. All of us were still in chaos, my heart was beating rapidly and shortly. Meanwhile, Dian was continuing to help the elderly people sit at peace and also soothe them down.

An unlock from the door frightened all of us, we spread with the pistols and firearms. I was shielding with fear of killing zombies again, just as I was thinking you attract what you fear. All of the zombies started tl get inside, they were not a double-digit number anymore, they were thousands. A lot of them were from the staff and hotel residents, some were citizens. All of them turned into zombies, the old man who was eyeing us a while ago was spot dead and was being eaten alive. It was so unbearable to watch but we didn't have any option. The rest of the zombies walked towards the end of the other locked compartments with kids and elderly people. We locked them down for safety, but the zombies hit their heads over the windows and broke them down. Some of them were dying because of pistols and fire. But some of them were so strong and did not get affected by any type of pain.

Just before all this happened I remember dian scrolling through the phone about a research study. I recalled what he told me when I asked what he was doing, "I was reading about zombies and how to fight them, it's the brain. We should destroy it." He spoke up. That was it, I got a hint of what I could actually do. This was like a heroic moment, I could lose everything but I wanted to fight back for all these stupid zombies have done to my friends, including my boyfriend. My chest filled with courageous feeling, it felt like I was the hero of my own story, and being in it felt horrifying but brazen. I took the g*n into my hands and started vigorously shooting at all the zombies I find. Especially shooting on their heads to kill them. There was a little space in my chest filled with guilt and stress. Because all I was doing is killing humans in a way.

Nevertheless, I had to for my friends and all the people to survive. These zombies were getting out of hand, so I and dian run to the smoking-room together. Just to protect ourselves from this. As we get inside we see max, he was hurt and bleeding. I couldn't hold on to my tears, it felt so much unfortunate to keep an eye on him while he cried. I hold his hands and comfort him saying that everything will be fine. I smooched his forehead and he smiled back. The room was empty with me, max and dian. We lost veer and kate. I also didn't ask a single question to Max, he started talking with long whiffs. He gave me a packet of injections and said, "These are the medications for zombies. We have to give this to Kate and Veer to get them back. It will take 24 hours for them to turn normal." As soon as I took the packet and completed listening to Max. He fainted. I was so scared to lose him in my life even, and the d**g was only for three people.
