Would You Carry Me To The End?

Frank's POV
My ears are ringing, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. As I look around, everyone is lying flat on the ground, hair blown back and eyes shut tightly.
"Guys...GUYS!"
No one seems to be able to hear each other as shouts are thrown around.
"I can't hear you!"
"What?"
But Max is staring at the flaming building in a mix of utter shock and silence.
"Max...look..." as my senses start coming back to me, I put my hand on her shoulder, but she pushes me away harshly. All she does is turn to me and sigh. I can see the flames reflecting on her eyes, glistening like a firework show.
I hear every word that she says next clearly, but I only register half of it properly.
"I told you she was still in there."
And with that we exchange the most encrypted glances,All four of us, before turning and walking home.
The walk stays in the most uncomfortable silence you could imagine, but no one had words. The only person who said anything was Mikey.
"Well, it looks like we're gonna have to find a new grocery store."
He might as well not have said anything, because there was absolutely no reaction. We just continue on in silence before we reach home. Max says nothing and just goes upstairs. It's unnerving. Like a bomb with no countdown. So you have no idea when it's gonna detonate.
I follow her upstairs by second instinct. But it's like she doesn't even know I'm there. But suddenly an idea hits me. I could surprise her...with another human. (Geez, we're starting to talk about them like they're pets...)
But first I need a zombie. That shouldn't be too hard. I take my pistol and head downstairs and out the door.
It's funny, before I met Max, I would've freaked myself out at the idea of hunting down a zombie. Now it's a breeze...
I sneak into the only place I can think of. The woods. Even now that place freaks me the fxck out.
Of course, it's covered in zombies. The low growls coming from I between the trees makes me shiver a little, but I keep my gun close.
I don't even hesitate and put a bullet straight through the legs of the closest zombie to me and it falls straight to the ground, handicapped.
Trying to make the least amount of noise I can, I run over and grab the moving corpse, pulling it over my shoulder and heading back towards the house. I practically get goosebumps the minute I come into contact with it, it's so disgustingly old. But keep my cool until I reach the porch and head inside. With this damp body on my shoulder, the walk upstairs and into the medical room is the longest, most uncomfortable walk I've had in all my life.
It struggles weakly and even tries to bite me a couple times, but I easily avoid it, setting it down in the chair and locking the restraints down. As I step back and look at the sight in front of me, I almost wanna throw up.
The stench triggers my gag reflex, and flies are circling it, snacking of what's left of its decaying face and body. One eye's practically out of the socket, and there are only patches of hair left on the scalp. The skins rotting and moldy, oh how lucky...
Alright, to start...making a slice on its shoulder and quickly taking a cotton bud, cleaning off some of the blood and swirling it in the antidote, just like she taught me.
Fixing the top on the syringe, I stick the needle into its vein and push the liquid in. Here we go.
The pulse races as it did the first time, but it doesn't slow down. I wait...and wait...and wait...
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing...
One minute...
Two...
Three...
Ten minutes pass. I check the eyes one more time. Still dead...still lifeless..
I drop the syringe and it clatters hard onto the ground. "...MAX!"

........Okay don't kill me.....

****WARNING, SELF PITY COMING UP, SKIP IF YOU WANT***

Hey fellow MCRmy members, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's writers block mixed with school mixed with currently the worst time in my life right now. I honestly feel like crap and I've just been so unmotivated to work on any sort of writing. I need a hug.

And when I do end up writing the writers block hits me hard. I've just been having so many negative impacts at the moment and a bunch of bad thoughts, but I finally got around to writing something that I hope isn't crap.

***SELF PITY OVER***
