Louis: Hey, get up.

You groan as you rise from your bed. It's still dark outside.

You: Oh, it's so early.

Louis: We want to get out and back quickly. There's going to be a load of Walkers.

You: Ah, we'll be fine.

Louis: I'll meet you outside.

He walks out of the room and you stay on the bed for a minute. Just trying to will yourself to get up. Finally, you manage and walk over to the desk, grabbing your keychain. The paint is worn off and you don't remember what it was, but it's what it means that matters. You move it around in your hand as you think back.

You: Open mine next!

Your best friend opens his gift and pulls it out.

Unknown: A keychain?

You: Oh, you don't like it.

Unknown: No, I do! I'm going to keep it with me all the time. To remind me of how good a friend you are.

Months later...

You: Grant? What's going on?

Grant: I don't know, but my Mom and Dad are freaking out. I'm scared.

Grant's Mom: Come on boys! We need to go!

You: Are we going to my house?

Grant's Mom has tears in her eyes.

Grant's Dad: We can't right now, but I promise we'll help you get back to your family.

You: Ok.

Months later... Again...

You: No! I can't! Not you too!

Grant: Y/N, you have to.

You: No, maybe we can find a way to help-

Grant: Take this.

He hands you a key chain.

You: What? You kept it?

Grant: I told you I would. Keep it, to remember me. Now do it.

You take it and put it in your pack.

You: I'm sorry. This is all my fault.

Grant: No, it isn't.

You plunge the knife into the side of his head, his eyes go wide, and then he slumps over. You want to mourn everything that happened today, but you don't have time. There are too many Walkers and you have to live.

You: Never again.

------------------------

Walking outside you notice the day is overcast. That's why it's still dark.

Louis: Took ya long enough.

You: Sorry.

Willy: There are a lot of Walkers out there!

Louis: Don't worry. I've got this.

Louis throws a chair leg on his shoulder.

You: What's that?

Louis: My weapon of choice.

You: I'm not going out there with you if you're using that.

Louis: I promise it works.
