Food! I take a bite of my bread and savor the flavor. Daryl talks with the other adults and I feel a little alone. I don't know why. I've been alone all my life.
But for some reason, I feel really alone. And kind of sad. I push my food around a bit until a hand is waved in front of my face. " Earth ta Jesse. "
" Huh? " I look up at everyone. Carl smiles and Sophia talks quietly to her mother. Daryl chuckles.
" Do ya want some? " Daryl asks gesturing to some red liquid in a green bottle. Shane hands Carl and Sophia two small glasses. I read the label. Wine.
" Uh, no. Sorry. I don't, I don't drink. " I shake my head.
" I see at least one child here has some common sense. " Lori smiles at me. I chuckle softly as Carl spits his wine out.
" That stuff's nasty! "
" That's my boy. " Lori chuckles.
I wish I was someone's kid. I jealously look at Rick, Carl, and Lori. The perfect little family. Mom, dad, kid. Me, I've just got me myself and I.
That's all I've ever had. My momma and daddy obviously didn't want me. What did I do wrong? Was I too much trouble? Was I not good enough? Was I too much of a burden? Another mouth to feed?
Someday, I promise myself, someday I will make myself a family. A family surrounded with people who love me for who I am.
" And we lost her again. " Daryl chuckle. I look up very confused as everyone chuckles.
" Lost who? " I ask not understanding. Everyone's at the table.
The smile at me and Daryl shakes his head.
