The Best Bad Luck

Chapter 20

Jessica's POV
I woke up and rick was still asleep.

Guess I should get up. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and tawned

I changed into my light blue skinny jeans and a dark grey tank top.

Then I laced up my black boots and put my hair into a messy looking pony tail.

I looked down at myself and sighed.

When I stepped out of the tent I went and sat by the fire, several people were already there.

Carol, Amy, Dale, and Daryl were all there.

I sat down in front of any and gave her a slight smile.

"What the hell happened to your face?" Amy asked looking straight at me.

Then I remembered rick hitting me last nite.

C'mon, think of an excuse.

"Nothing.. I just.. I fell trying to use the bathroom last night." I whispered the last part, I knew they weren't going to believe me.

Why am I so bad at lying?

"Bull shit." Carol said examining me.

I sighed and started playing with my hands.

"Rick hit you didn't he?" Dale asked me.

"He didn't mean to." I tried to convince them but they weren't falling for it.

Why can't they just leave it alone? It's not their relationship.

"Come here." Daryl said pulling my arm away.

"What the hell happened last nite?" He demanded once we were in the woods.

I tried to distract myself by looking at the leaves, or trying to focus on the wind. But of course it didn't work.

I broke down and started to cry.

He wrapped his tan arms around me as I sobbed.

"Did he rape you?" He asked as I pulled away.

I can't say yes right? But I don't want to lie.

I looked him in the eyes and nodded slightly.

"That son of a bitch." He stomped the ground and started to pace back and forth.

I wiped my eyes and looked at him.

" I'm Going to kill him." He mumbled as he started to walk away.

"Daryl please don't." I begged grabbing his hand to stop him.

He tensed up, but then stopped.

I let go and sighed.

"It wasn't his fault." I tried to reason.

"That's a lie Jess. It was his fault, you don't rape a girl by accident." He told me crossing his arms.

"Just please don't make a scene." I begged.

He sighed but then nodded his head.

I hugged him quickly and exited the woods.

Daryl followed me.

When I started walking towards the fire rick stopped me.

"What?" I asked flinching a little.

"What were you doing in the woods with Daryl?" He demanded.

"Nothing. I swear." I tried pulling away but he had a tight grip on my wrist.

"Don't fucking lie to me." He growled.

"We didn't do anything." I could feel myself tearing up again.

"Leave her alone rick." Amy stated, walking up with carol.

"This isn't any of your business." He barked back.

"When you're messing with our family, it is." Carol said quietly, she took my hand and started leading me away.

The three of us went into the RV.

"What happened?" Carol asked me.

"Last nite. He started to rape me, so I tried stopping him and he.. He hit me." I whispered, wiping a tear away.

"Oh sweetie." Amy pulled me into a hug and I sunk into her.

"He won't ever do that again." Carol assured me.

"You don't know that." I answered back.

"I'll make sure of it." Daryl said from behind me. I jumped at his voice.

How did he get in here so quietly?

"You can sleep in my tent. Seen as.. There's room for another person now." Amy said, pausing a little. I feel bad for her, I cant imagine loosing my sister.

I nodded my head and stood up.

"Let's go." Daryl placed his hand on the small of my back, gesturing me out.

As soon as I stepped out of the RV I was stopped by rick.

"Can we talk? Please?" He looked guilty.

I went to go walk with him but Daryl grabbed my arm.

"She can't, she has work to do." Daryl spoke in a thick country accent.

"It can wait." Rick said back.

Amy shook her head and started leading me towards the fire.

"Jessica please. I love you." Rick called to me.

I looked behind me to see him standing there like a lost puppy.

"He's trying to trick you. He's going to pull you away and yell at you." Carol told me, sitting on my right.

"We have to keep this quiet for now. Got it?" Amy said, looking a round to me, Daryl, carol, and dale.

We all nodded.

Shane and Lori came out of there tent with Carl and sat by us.

I gave them a weak smile and Carl returned it.

Rick came and sat in between Daryl and dale.

Here we go, acting like nothing happened. I hope it stays like this, I don't want to relive anything that happened.
