Last Romeo (The walking Dead: Rick Grimes love story)

Untitled Part 37

After a long wait, here's a new chapter. Hope you enjoy :)

The hole winter we kept going from house to house, hoping to settle in somewhere, but wherever we went, they found us...they always do

I hoped that we'd find some place safe, where  we could spend the night, that was my dream.

To sleep on a soft bed or a carpet and not worry, that when you close your eyes, someone would come and chew you up

Things between me and rick haven't changed much either, with lori's death and losing his unborn child, i know it's hard on him

As much as i'd like to talk to him, i know he needs his space at the moment and i don't want to throw myself at him

Also at last i know that rick did truly love his wife, no matter what she did to him

''Hey taylor'' i felt something hit against my shoulder, snapping me out of my thoughts

''What?'' turning around, there was daryl standing next to the car, with his crossbow over his shoulder

''I'm gonna go look around, wanna come?'' i nodded, quickly grabbing my bow and arrows from his motorcyle

''If i would have known rick was coming along with us, i wouldn't have come'' i mumbled to myself, not knowing that daryl might have heard me, until i heard a chuckle coming from him

The word awkward could not describe what it felt like in that moment, it was great to be alone with my brother, away from everyone else

Yet it felt strangely odd, having rick with us, since we haven't talked since that night

''Well look what we got here'' i snapped out of my thoughts

There was a prison infront of us, gates were encircling it, also there were walkers inside

I noticed that one of the gates was open, which is where the walkers were coming from

''It's perfect'' i nodded...it really was perfect and what we needed

---

After telling everyone about the prison and about the plan on ''moving'' in there, everyone agreed. Once we where there, now thinking about the plan we made on the way here, seemed stupid and reckless

I watched as glenn cut a hole in the gate, letting everyone inside, then closing it with some wires. We made our way to one of the guard towers, daryl quickly closed the gate door, so no walkers could get to us

''What's the plan now!'' 

''We close that gate over there, but we have to get to that guard tower so we could shoot all of the walkers'' i looked at the tower, that rick was mentioning

Getting there was no problem, but we didn't know if there were any walkers inside...that would be a big problem, if something wet wrong, then we'd lose whoever went there

''I'll go'' without thinking i realised those words had left my mouth

Everyone turned there heads, looking at me, i realised how crazy and unreal it seemed. Kind of like why would i do anything to help, i haven't done it before

Which is kind of true, i did always but me and daryl first, before everyone else. But at the moment, i knew no one would take that chance, everyone exept rick of course

''I'm a quick runner, i'll get to the tower, quickly get in and start shoting from the top'' everyone nodded and ran past me, to get there attention away from me

Daryl hesitated, looking at me, before walking away. Rick handed me the metal chain, what i could use to close the other gate, he grabbed onto the gate ready to open it

''Are you sure about this, i could go'' i looked at him

''I'm sure'' he hesitated for a moment, then opened the gate...

I watched everyone sitting around the fire eating, my eyes drifted to daryl on top of a car, being on guard, when i noticed that carol was standing next to him

I sighed, turning around, why does it seem like everyone has somebody and then there's me, the loner sister, following her bother everywhere, like a lost puppy 

''Here'' i jumped a little, snapping out of my thoughts

Rick was standing infront of me, holding out a plate

''Thanks'' i took it from him, there wasn't much, but i've grown use to eating less these days 

After a mintue, rick sat down next to me, pulling on the grass

''I'm sorry'' i swollowed the meat and looked at him

''It's fine, i understand'' he slightly moved his head to look at me

I finished with my food and placed the plate onto the ground, we didn't move, we just sat there next to each other. I felt my eyelids getting heavy and my head falling to the side

Feeling something soft under my head, i sighed and fell asleep. If i only knew that my head was in rick's lap and that he was stroking my hair
