You Can't Do Things Without People Anymore

The Beginning of the End




"Lalo, stay close please!"

"Sure thing mom!"

I rolled my eyes and smiled at my little brother who started rummaging through the deserted cars for stuff that can come in handy to us while I was on lookout. We've come a long way truth be told. And for someone who was just your average history teacher, I'd say I've done a damn good job at surviving so far.

We lost our parents at the beginning of the outbreak. Being the humble and caring people that they were, they thought some kid needed help. Five of those motherfuckers came out of nowhere and ripped them both apart right before my eyes. My two older brothers took charge after.

We managed to find refuge at a hotel in Atlanta after clearing it out of those fuckers and barricading the bottom floor leaving one entrance and exit open for those days that we went on runs. It seemed to have calmed down until one day while arriving from a run, we were overrun. They began to break through the barriers and blocked our only way out. As they began to approach us, my two older brothers and I began to shoot hoping there wouldn't be so many of them. My brothers yelled for my little brother and I to find an exit that wasn't so overrun by them.

I took out five with my gun and found a bright red exit sign. "Come on, lets go!" I yelled out to my brothers.

They glanced at each other and nodded. "Mayte, I need you to take Lalo and the car-"

"No! Don't fucking do this to us Tony!" I yelled.

"There's no time to argue! Get the hell out of here!" Before I could answer, one launched itself and took a bite out of my brother. "Shit! Get the fuck out of here!"

My other brother, Mike, grabbed my arm and ran for the door with my little brother leading the way. "Mayte, look at me." I looked up with tears in my eyes. "Don't worry, we'll make it! Lets get to the car and-" without a warning, a lifeless bastard grabbed onto my brothers neck and took a chunk off.

"Mikey no!" I yelled with anger. I shot the thing multiple times in the head. Mike dropped to the floor in pain.

"Mikey, you can't leave us too please!" My little brother began to cry.

Mike's face softened up as his eyes began to tear up. "Hey, don't cry. This isn't the time or place. So suck it up, pull yourself together and get the hell out of here!" He looked over at me sternly.

"But I can't do it without you guys.." I whispered.

"Yes you can, you have to for Lalo!" I looked at him and wiped my tears. "I need you to promise me something Mayte." I was silent. He shifted uncomfortably, he was losing a lot of blood. "Take care of him. He needs you more than ever now." I nodded my head pathetically. "You can do it. I know you can. I love you guys.." With that, his eyes closed as he let out his last breath.

"I promise. I love you too.." I kissed his forehead and grabbed my little brother making a run for the car...


"Mayte! Look what I found!" My little brother yelled snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Shh! You know better than to- look out!" My eyes went wide with horror as one of those fuckers took a bite out of my little brothers shoulder. "No!" I ran up to it and stabbed it straight in the face with a crowbar. I dropped down to my little brothers height and cupped his face, panic running through my face. "You're gonna be ok-"

"Mayte, stop. I know what happens when you get bit... I want you to shoot me." I stood there in shock trying to process everything that just went down, my vision began to blur as I realized I was tearing up. "Don't worry, I want this. I don't want to become one of them."

I looked away letting the tears fall down my cheeks. "I can't do it. I promised Mike I'd take care of you and I failed!"

Lalo rolled his eyes. "Don't blame yourself from this. That asshole came out of nowhere!"

"Hey! Don't fucking cuss!" I snapped back.

He chuckled lightly and looked into my eyes. "Even when I'm dying you still feel the need to discipline me."

I couldn't help but smile but it soon faded when I looked at his shoulder. "I'm so sorry.."

"I told you it's not your fault." We stood silent for a moment before he groaned in pain causing my eyes to form a new set of tears. God, I was such a baby. "Mayte, you're gonna have to do it. I don't wanna go through the stages. Please.."

"I can't..."

"Yes you can! It's ok-"

"No it's not ok Lalito! I was suppose to take care of you! It was suppose to be you and me! You have always been my companion. I have no one else..." I began to sob.

"You make me sound like a puppy," He chuckled but I continued to sob. He frowned. "Hey, look at me. I will always be with you. You just won't see me but I'll be there. And so will mom, dad, Tony, and Mikey. But right now I need you to focus and do this one and final thing for me."

I looked up at him wiping the tears from my face. He smiled and brought me in for a hug. I wrapped my arms tightly around him as I cried on his shirt.

"I love you Big Sis" I smiled letting a few more tears escape and pulled my gun out. "I love you too little one. With all my heart... I'm so sorry..." And the trigger went off.
