“The pain is eating me up from the inside. I feel like I'm not going to make it to the hospital.”
“Listen to me, Maya.” I said, trying to suppress the tears rising in my throat.

“Look around, Abby.” she said, turning her head to the side. “Almost everyone is dead. I don't want to end up like them.”
“You aren't going to end up like them.” I said, swallowing the lump in my throat. “You are going to be fine.”
