Past life: recollection 20

We continued to go out of the base. We killed zombies and removed the crystals that was in their heads. And we also looked for valuable things that we could sell.

Every single day Ben and I were getting closer. We talked and played together. We were synced when it came to killing zombies. We had competitions on who killed more zombies and it was so fun. I won most of the competitions because Ben made me win. He would deliberately kill less zombies and it was so sweet. Oliver always looked at me with a very murderous gaze. But I did not care. I only wanted Ben and nothing else.

Everything was going so well until something or should I say someone spoit the mood.

It was on one particular day that I would never forget even if I had a memory loss. We were out of the base as usual and we were killing zombies when we heard some noises.

"Help... Please help me"

I quickly went to Ben and said

"Ben i could hear a lady's voice. She seems to be calling for help. She could be a survivor. Please let's help her".

And Ben being the same old Ben who listens to everything I say could not bear to see me beg so he agreed to help. He went there and saved the girl and that was my biggest regret. When I saw that girl, I was immediately shocked. What was going on? The girl was..... Grace. Oh my goodness, the very girl that I hated.

I wanted Ben to leave her there for zombies to kill especially when I saw her clinging to Ben. Ben looked at me and then he started the car and then we decided to go back to the base. I wanted to seat in the back seat like I normally do when Ben stopped me

"Wendy the poor girl is scared so why don't you seat at the front and she seats at the back" Ben said to me.

I was so angry but there was nothing I could do. So I sat at the front. When we got to the base, the doctors wanted to take her to the base clinic when she refused to let Ben go. I tried to stop her. When she said

"Please.... Please Mr Ben, I don't want to go alone". And then to my surprise Ben followed her. I was so annoyed. Why..... Why is that b...ch trying to take Ben away from me. I decided to go to my room. I fell on my bed and bam.... I went straight to sleep.

The next day I went to find Ben when I found out that he was still with that girl. I quickly went to the clinic and saw Ben with Grace. I tried to talk to Ben when he shooed me away. What was happening? I could not understand. Why is she trying to take Ben away from me.

I thought that it was only till she was well and everything would be back to normal but I was wrong. It instead became worse. Everyday Grace would follow Ben everywhere. When we leave the base, they would sit together. There was no place for me. And even what Ben promised me by saying that he would look for my parents with me was not fulfilled.

Everytime I try to talk to Ben, Grace would always be there and that was when I knew that there was never a place for me in Ben's heart, so I decided to let everything go.

After a while, I changed. I always acted like a subordinate not like a close friend. We still kill zombies together but we were not that close. After three weeks I decided that it was time for me to look for my parents alone. And I thought everything would be good. But it really wasn't. Because on that very day, I told Ben about me leaving.

"Ben, I would leave the base soon".

"Why" he asked looking confused.

I looked at him and smiled

"Well, I want to look for my parents" I thought that he would at least show a reaction..... like he didn't want me to go or something but it seems that he really does not care about me.

He looked at me and said

"Oh that is fine then".

I was a little bit disappointed. Then I left to pack my bags when I heard screams. I immediately turned and then I saw.... Oh my goodness, it was zombies. No...no...no there can't be zombies in here. I stood frozen till I heard ben call my name. Ben quickly dragged me and killed a zombie that was just a step way from me. We rushed to a far distance and found a safe place to hide. I could still hear people's shout and screams. Blood was flowing. Even little children were not spared. I was so scared and I still could not handle the pain that I felt.

Then after a while, Grace seemed not to be able to bear the scene since she started crying. Ben started to coax her and tell her not to cry when zombies seemed to have heard her cries and started to hit the door of where we were staying. I was so scared. Grace started to cry again but this time it was louder. The zombies heard her cries and started to hit the door frantically. We tried our best to keep her shut when the door gave in and started to crack and then zombies started to come in. At first it was just on or two zombies at a time and we were able to kill them when the door gave in completely. We started to kill the zombies that poured in and then I just got pushed by someone and I saw that the person was Grace. Everybody was shocked and Ben tried to save me but there was no hope. I got torn into pieces by the zombies and when I almost reached my last breath, I said

"I love you Ben".
