Chapter 12

“Forrest, you have to stop. I can’t see anything.”

He ignored her. The sight of the zombies so close to him, ready to take him away to their undead world or simply feast on him, was too much to bare. He pulled on the throttle and thrust through the gears, swerving around telephone poles, getting air off the dips and ramps of the dirt path, bumping off of large stones jutting from the earth, but never stopping. To stop meant certain death. He knew that now. Had seen the cold look of the monsters as their dead eyes, blank hungry stares as if he wasn’t even there yet they sensed him, hungered for his flesh. No, he couldn’t do it. Forrest couldn’t stop and risk those things coming at him out of nowhere again. So he pushed on. Driving dangerously through the darkness, aware that to stop was more dangerous than to drive.

When he heard Rebel pleading with him to stop for the third time in a row, as he accelerated even faster, he pushed her voice out of his head and listened to his own inner monologue.

Go, go, go. Don’t stop until daylight.

It would be better in the daylight. Nightmares always were. That was just common knowledge. This would all be over. He would wake up in his bed with a splitting headache from drinking too much – he had ended up showing up at the party Rebel was at – gotten piss ass drunk having to deal with his promiscuous girlfriend and went home blackout drunk.

If Forrest could get to morning everything would be the way it was. He would forgive Rebel – for the hundredth time – pop some Excedrin and stop at McDonalds for some greasy food, the perfect recipe for a hangover. And that was all it would be. Just a hangover. He would go back to loving Rebel, her careless ways that excited and haunted him. The way he watched her unguarded in chemistry with her platinum hair and crimson lips, while she chewed on the corner of her bottom lip the way she did when she was trying to work through a problem in her head on a test. In that moment he would see the most beautiful girl he had ever known, one that wasn’t trying to be something else, but just a regular high school girl trying to take a test. That was his Rebel. And for now his heart belonged to her.

Those were the thoughts he focused on as the Kawasaki’s engine screamed and the bumps came and went, the tires swerving, her crying out for him to stop. In his mind he only saw the dawn rising through classroom 401 on the second floor of the science building, and lighting Rebel like an angel.

“Forrest, you’re scaring me!”

He didn’t care. No. It wasn’t that. He did care. That was why he couldn’t stop. If Rebel had seen what he had seen, if she had been as close to them – surrounded by them – she would have had her hand over his jacking the throttle of the dirt bike.
