One of the saddest things you will ever read.

Duchess and I were discussing about what would happen if riverside found themselves in a terrible zombie apocalypse. Here's what we have: 

The teachers have turned into them, and sadly one of our beloved has been bitten. He doesn't want to turn into these satanic monsters, so he asks for one favor.. He asks that he gets shot so he wouldn't turn into one of them. 

"Migs.. No. You promised you won't make me turn into that" 

"Migs, please.."

"Miguel, just pull the trigger. He won't feel it.." 

"I can't..."

"I promise, Kuya, he won't know what hit him"

"I-i love.. him.."

"Miguel--"

"I can't hide it anymore. This is my very last moment with him.." 

"Migs.." Pancho rasped, writhing as his face scrunched up in pain. "Miguel... Hurry... Please.." 

Migs hesitated. He picked up the gun and looked into his eyes for the last time

"I love you Pancho..." 

"I.. lo-ove you... Miguel.." 

He looked away and.. BANG! 

Tears filled his cheeks. He fell on his knees and dropped the gun.

Everybody looked away as the blood splattered across Miguel's shirt and forehead. He held onto Pancho's cold corpse as tight as he can, he didn't want to leave him there. When they looked back, they saw Pancho, in Miguel's arms, broken and bloodied. He became only a shadow of what he was before. Miguel closed Pancho's eyes, kissed his forehead and whispered in his ear "forever.."

"Kuya.." Sam swallowed, eyes glued to the dead body before her and the living body that clings to it. "Kuya it's been five hours, we need to go" 

"Go without me"

"Migs, don't joke like that.." Nico pleaded, too afraid to approach his best friend.

"You don't understand.." 

"Yes we do..."

"NO YOU DON'T"

"There's another horde coming. We really have to go" 

"NONE OF YOU UNDERSTAND! EVERYTHING I'VE DONE WAS FOR HIM AND NOW HE'S GONE!"

"Miguel..."

"I'll hold them off. Just go" 

He grasped his cold hand and thought to himself "I'll be with you soon"

The group looked at each other and Sam choked back a sick sounding sob. Next to her, Nicole grew rigid

"See you soon, Miguel." Hyme said in a raspy whisper as he handed his comrade and friends another gun. "it's loaded enough" 

Miguel was still on his knees, still crying out those little pieces of his broken heart. He looked at his love again, picked up the gun that killed his love and the gun that Hyme gave him and stood up.

"Go. Now"

Tears rolled down Sam's face as she turned and threw her arms around his neck. 

"We love you, okay?"

"Take care of each other. Remember to make Nico drink water and remember what i taught you."

"Migs..." NIcole approached him and kissed his tear filled cheek and stood beside him for the last time

Sam simply nodded. Miguel hugged her one last and then released her, depositing her into Nicole's care

"Take care of each other." Miguel said, squeezing Nicole's hand as tears escaped her eyes. "Make sure nobody else dies."

"I love you bro" said Nico and Josh, trying not to cry. Miguel merely smiled at them.

From afar, the roars of the undead could be heard, sickly yelps and obscene groans. 

"EVERYONE GO NOW! THEY'RE COMING THIS WAY!" 

Everyone walked away but Nico stopped.

"NO. I CAN'T LEAVE." He sobbed "I CAN'T LEAVE MY BEST FRIEND HERE TO DIE!" He said trying to run back to Migs as they tried to hold him back. He kept screaming "MIGUEL!!" 

"Kuya, please!" Sam sobbed, grabbing unto Nico's jacket sleeve. "Please!" 

They watched him fighting as many of those flesh eating demons as he could, until suddenly.. 

"MIGUEL!!" They all shouted

"NOOOO!" Nicole and Nico shouted

They looked at each other with tears falling from their eyes thinking the same thing. Miguel will always be THEIR Kuya and best friend. 

Miguel fell to the ground, a zombie's jaw clenched around his prone neck. As he was being chewed up to his last breathe, he looked at everyone and said his last words to them as loud as he could "I LOVE YOU ALL!". He looked up and said to himself "Wait for me, I'm almost there." The boy so full of life was full of no more...
