You didn't understand what was happening. One moment you were in bed, the next a plane was crashing down in the middle of town. By the time you woke up, there were people eating other people. It was horrifying. Your leg was stuck, but you weren't sure if it was safe to yell for help.

"Tommy!" You heard a man yelled. You could barely make out the man holding a girl. Your friend, Sarah.

"Mr. Miller!" You yelled desperately before you saw Sarah's uncle, Tommy, reach in to help you.

"Stop! Tommy, we need to go now!" Sarah's father shouted before their car bursted into flames.

Tommy still helped you, promising to catch up to Joel. Your leg was fractured and Tommy helped you walk. When you finally got to Joel, a soldier shot at him. Tommy let go of you and ran to them, barely getting there before the soldier could shoot Joel.

When you managed to get to them, your heart broke.

"Tommy, help me!" Joel yelled as he rocked Sarah in his arms.

"Joel..." Tommy muttered before he felt you behind. You hugged him and stuck by his side as they settled Sarah's body at a corner. Joel sniffed as he placed a small flower on her chest before they started walking.

Tommy helped you walk, holding you by his side. A million thoughts ran through his mind. All the what ifs, what coulds, and failures. Joel suddenly came to a stop, turning around to face you.

"You do anything stupid or get on our way... And I won't hesitate to leave you behind." Joel's words were calloused, cold and stern. He wasn't playing and you could tell he didn't care about you at all.
