Carter forces me into his office and I see Hernandez crying with blood all over her. She was tied up sitting in a chair, duct tape was strapped all the way around her head over her mouth about four times which kept her from talking. I tried to help her but Carter slammed me down into a chair hurting my butt.

I'm tied up and I'm in the same position as my best friend, Carter cocks a gun as his face showed no emotion.

"One of you aren't getting out of here" Carter said

I close my eyes and my heart pumps wildly.

"So choose which one of you dies" Carter said looking us in the eyes

He walks out the room locking the door

I see a plate with dirty silverware on the edge of his desk and begin to scoot my chair careful not to fall. I hear Hernandez take a deep breath and I look at her, she's in pain. I look at her body and there's so much blood.

I have to look away as I get closer to the desk. I sit myself up, I scoot up a little bit and slam myself and the chair into the desk. My chair falls along with the plate. My head hits the floor and I groan shaking the blurriness away.

I scoot over to the now broken plate and grab a piece of the glass, I hiss in pain almost dropping it when the plate cuts into my hand. No doubt drawing blood. I begin sawing away at the rope until it snaps apart. I sigh untying my legs and removing the duct tape.

I stretch my limbs and rub my butt. I untie Hernandez, removing the duct tape and I hug her.

"Let me go" she said weakly

"What? Are you crazy? We can escape through the window" I laugh

"I'm serious, I'm going to die anyway" she said

I stare at her not believing one word

"Stop kidding, come on!" I smile pulling on her arm

"I'm going to die! So stop, just let him kill me. He's already- Please just let me go" she said

"Hernandez...." I whisper

"Please, just let me go with my little brother. Let me see my family again, I'm begging you Jasmine. He stabbed my kidneys. I'm bleeding out as we speak. As your best friend I know, I know, I know you don't want me to leave but I'm in pain. Promise me you'll let me go" she says shedding tears

I take a breath holding back all of my emotions

"Promise" she said again

"I...I promise" I huff

I slam my fist into the desk, why me? Why!? I'm losing my best friend, she'll be gone. But she'll be happy with her family. I know she wants to be dead. I want to cry so bad but I hold it in

"Thank you. I just want you to know I'll be watching over you, I remember when we begged for a zombie apocalypse to happen. We swore we'd be ready, but I think I was more scared of the people that had changed mentally than the walkers. I love you" she smiled

Carter walks in

"So.."

"Kill Hernandez" I say

In a flash her heart was pierced with a silver bullet and I jump at the noise with my eyes shut tight.

"Take her back" Carter said holding the door open

I pick up my best friend, I knew she was going to turn. I was ready to shoot her, she was happier. I walk back toward the groups room and guards stare at me, I look back at them and they look away quickly.

"Jasmine" Rick said

I ignore him walking over to my bed putting Hernandez in it, I sigh as I look at her peaceful face and I stroke her short black hair. Carter gave me a gun with a single bullet, I could've shot Troy.....or him. But I'd rather put her down with it.

"Goodbye, I love you too" I whisper

I pull out the gun and place a pillow over her face, then I pull the trigger.
