I sat next to the crying Patricia with my arms draped over her shoulders. "I'm so sorry, Patricia. I'm so sorry." I repeated to her and kissed her forehead softly. She sobbed into my shoulder and grasped onto my shirt as tight as she could. Rick placed a hand on my shoulder and gave it a squeeze, my shoulder tensed on impact until I looked up to see it was Rick. He had a questioning look on his face as he looked at me, I sheepishly smiled and looked back to Patricia. Herschel took Patricia from my arms and nodded over to Carl's room, I sent him a thankful smile and got up taking Rick to the room with me. As we entered the room and sat down next to the bed I could feel Rick examining me for something, watching my every move. It made my skin crawl, reminding me of how my father would always stare at me. Most times coming out with the same outcome of me being beaten. I could hear the stairs creaking as Shane walked down them, I took that as my chance to leave the room. I walked out of the room and met Shane in the hallway. His hair was cut down, it looked so weird on him. I mean it didn't look bad but it was just different. I chuckled quietly as I looked him up and down, looking like a proper farmer the way he was dressed. Shane heard my chuckle and looked at me with a small smile.
"What?.." he asked quietly as he looked at me, before everything happened me and him were best friends, we were attached at the hip practically.
"What the hell did you do to your hair?" I asked as I surveyed the damage, his hair was shaved unevenly and overall looked wonky. I couldn't help but smile at his dodgy work. He blushed slightly and looked away as he placed his hands on his hips.
"Felt like a change." he said quietly as he looked back.
"It's not even. Like at all." I joked, smiling widely. "Come On I'll help you out." I nodded for the bathroom upstairs. He started walking up the stairs again as I went to the table and grabbed a chair before I walked up the stairs. I walked into the bathroom and saw Shane leaning against the sink waiting for me. I sat the chair down in front of him and gestured for him to sit in it.
"Thank you." he muttered as he sat down.
"Why ya' bein' so shy?" I asked as I leaned over him and grabbed the electric shaver from the counter. "I don't bite... too hard." I finished, he chuckled and rubbed his head. "Really, you ok?" I asked as I leaned against the chair and looked at Shane through the mirror.
"I just- I really did. I thought he was dead." Shane informed me quietly as he looked at me. I clenched my lips together and looked back down at his hair and shook my head. "I'm so sorry. I really am." I simply shook my head and looked back up at him.
"It wasn't your fault." I told him sternly as I got a towel from the towel rack and slung it over his shoulders. I looked up to the mirror and saw he had opened his mouth to say something but I quickly cut him off. "It wasn't your fault. And I shouldn't have pushed you away that day." I gave him a small smile, then an idea popped into my head. There was a cd player downstairs in my room and some pretty good songs that Shane and I used to Rock out in my car to. "I'll be right back." I told him, putting the shaver back down, and ran out of the room. I went down the stairs and went into the room Carl had been stationed in and went into the closet a grabbed a few CDs and the cd player and walked out of the room. Rick gave me a weird look but I waved it off and went back to the bathroom, placing the cd player down in front of Shane and showed him the cd's I grabbed. He grabbed them from my hands and read the covers, wolf by tino drima, dr. feel good by motley crue and more. He smirked and looked up to me. "Well you gonna put one in or are ya' gonna just sit there like a smiling idiot?" I asked, giving him a big smile.he nodded and put in "dazed and confused" by led zeppelin into the cd player. I smiled and picked up the shaver, standing in front of him I started the shaver and tilted his head back a bit as I started working. The music came on slowly as I started to work and Shane hummed with the music. He had a shit-eating grin plastered across his face as he listened to the music.
