Hold Tight ↠ R. Grimes { on going}

[ 8 ]

I sat out on the swing of Hershel's house. It was dark, Shane wasn't back yet for Carl.

I took down my long blonde hair and ran a hand through it. Its been a tough day, I was all wore out. I just wanna curl up and fall asleep. I made my way back to the RV to meet with Daryl. I saw Daryl leave and hurried off with him, my weapons at my sides. " Daryl!"I called after him. He turned to look at me.

" You should be asleep." He said as I caught up with him.

" I can't. No way." I said as we went into the woods. " I remember when I would sit with grandma Nancy in the kitchen and do puzzles with her til 2 am." I said with a smile.

" I'd heard you did that from Nancy herself when I wasn't locked up." Daryl said.

" It's not your fault." I said looking at him.

" I remember when I got lost. Had to learn to survive on my own. Even had to wipe my ass with poison oak." He said to make me laugh. " I had an itchy ass for a week." He said.

He quietly sunk down as we reached a camp. Twisting and turning we looked around with a flashlight. Moaning and chocking sounds made me jump as we found the walker, dangling from the tree. Daryl found a note that was put with a knife." 'Got bit, fever hit, world gone to shit, might as well quit.' " He read the note." Dumbass didnt know well enough to shoot himself in the head. He just made himself a swinging pile of bait. What a mess." He said as I gagged.

" Gross, Daryl. Subject change." I said as he walked up and shot it. " Waste of an arrow you sun of a bitch." He told the walker. I shook my head.

" Christ Daryl, you're talking to a walker." I rolled my eyes.

" Better than you hugging and talking to trees." He retorted.

" That was only once. I thought you were still with me." I said with a smile.

" Yeahyeah, talk to the crossbow." He said and held up the crossbow to block my face.

" Dumbass." I mumbled.

The next morning, we arrived at the Greenes farm. For me, once again. Once Daryl stopped the motorcycle I immediately jumped off as everyone gathered outside. I saw Rick and ran up to him for an embrace. Releasing, I stepped down once again. Hershel and T too.

2 days later.

Daryl went out on a Sophia hunt, on horseback.

He hasn't returned yet and it was bugging me.

" Walker!" Andrea shouted. Dale and I walked over, as well as Rick.

" Just the one?" Someone asked.

" I think I can nail it from here." She said.

" Andrea. Don't. " Dale hissed.

" Shut it, Dale." Rick, Shane, T and Glenn ran out. I stood with Dale to watch.

Bam.

Dale and I jumped. The limp figure fell and Rick started to yell. I looked up to see satisfied Andrea on the RV. Our faces turned emotional as the limp figure and the three came closer.

Daryl.

My eyes instantly shot up to Andrea, who was looking at me.

We all went inside with Daryl, I was chewing off my figernails. Rick and I walked out side for a breather. Seeing Andrea, I growled. Running down the the RV, I slammed her against the RV.

" Mercedes! "Rick called.

" You bitch. I could kill you right now."I clocked Andrea once. Watching her fall, my light blonde hair fell into my blue eyes. Breathing through my teeth, someone touched my shoulder. I shurgged it off, looking at, Dale." She deserves it." I mumbled. Rick came running down, all I did was shove him off.

Worst Day Ever.
