Forbidden Love- Rick Grimes Love story

Few days later....

I woke up and saw the bright sun peaking through the tent Shane and I shared. I looked over at him to see he was still asleep and Joey had already woken up and left. I got him to roll over on his back and I straddled him, then leaned down and started kissing his neck. He started to stir and then I felt him grab my his strongly and flip us over. "Good morning handsome." I said to him laughing. "Good morning to you, beautiful." He said kissing me.  He pulled away and then started to kiss my neck and reaching his hand up my shirt. He took off my shirt and started kissing my chest, when our tent unzipped. There stood Lori with wide eyes. Shane quickly got off of me and I grabbed my shirt and covered my chest. "You shouldn't open other people's tent without announcing yourself." I said to her. She looked over to Shane, "Dale needs to talk to you." I scoffed, is she serious? She just unzipped our tent like it was nothing. Then she looks to me, "We could also use your help with the chores." I rolled my eyes as she walked away. Ever since we've gotten here she's been like that. I don't know what crawled up her ass and died but she really needs to get over herself. Shane looks over to me and grabs my shirt and throws it back over to where it was, then starts to lay me down. "What about Dale?" I ask him. He smiles at me, "He can wait until after." He leans back down and kisses me to finish what we started.

I put my shirt back on and kissed Shane one last time before we got out of the tent. We walked over to in front of the RV, he went to talk to Dale while I went over to Lori and Carol to help out with the laundry. After an hour of doing the laundry, I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey," Glenn says scratching the back of his neck. "Good morning Glenn, what's up?" I asked him. "Do you want to come on the run with me? Uh- I mean the group I'm taking." He said nervously. I nodded, "Yeah, let me gear up and I'll meet you all back here." I walk over to where Joey and Carl were coloring and sat down next to Joey, "Hey Joey," I paused, "Mommy is gonna go on the run with Glenn, okay?" Her eyes started to water. "Josephine Taylor Walsh. Don't you cry on me, okay? Everything's gonna be okay. Mommy will be back soon." I told her rubbing her back. She wiped her eyes looking at me. "You promise?" She asked softly. I nodded and then she raised her small pinky in the air. "Pinky promise?" She said showing her little pinky finger. I wrapped mine around it and kissed her head. "Always my little Joeybean." She smiled. I've always called her my little Joeybean ever since she was a baby, it would always be able to put a smile on her face no matter how upset she was. I went to go grab my gun and machete, when I was stopped by Shane grabbing my arm. "Where do you think your going?" He asked. I pulled him off my arm and laughed, "Okay mom. I'm going on the run." He shook his head and grabbed my arm again, "No you're not. Madison it's too dangerous." I started getting my stuff together. "Shane, I'll be fine. I know how to take care of myself." I told him. "Think about Josephine?!? You're gonna just leave her, she needs her mom! I need you, safe, not running around almost getting yourself killed!" He screamed at me. I turned to face him, "Don't you dare throw our child into this! I will be fine, you can't just tell me what I can and can't do. I'll be safe." "You're not going. End of discussion." He said storming out of our tent. Screw him, I'm going. I walked back to the RV and met Glenn and the others then we left.

The others went to scope out a department store while Glenn and I went to search a building that could have some ammo. As I was searching Glenn was looking out the window. "Oh my God, Mads you've gotta see this." I walked over to him to see a bunch of walkers on top of the tank that was in the street. I shrugged, "So what? That many walkers is why we gotta stay low, keep quiet." He shook his head pointing at the tank, "No, a man is inside it. I saw it all go down. We've gotta help him Mads." I sighed, he was right. I would want someone to help if I were in that situation. "Do you still have that walkie?" I asked him. He nodded and handed it to me. "What are you gonna do with that?" He asked. I started to program it to the walkie that was in the tank. "I'm programming it to the walkie in the tank. Hopefully it still works." I said to him. "How do you even know how to do that?" He asked. "My younger brother Jackson was in the military. He used to show me and Joey everything that he would learn. Joey and Jackson were very close." I said frowning at the memory. "Is he..." He trailed off. I shrugged, "I made it out with Joey and Shane. I have no idea if my brother or sister is even alive. Shane said let's go and I didn't think twice." I finally got the walkie to work, yes! I pressed the button down before I spoke, "Hey you, dumbass. Yeah you in the tank. You cozy in there?" Glenn slapped my shoulder laughing and I shrugged. A minute or two has passed and there was no response. I really hope that bastard didn't kill himself. I pressed the button down, and Glenn spoke "Hey you alive in there?" "Hello? Hello?" The voice said.  "There you are, you had me wondering. " I replied.  "Where are you guys? Outside? Can you see me right now?" He asked. "Yeah," I nodded looking out the window at the tank, "We can see you, you're surrounded by walkers." "That's the bad news." Glenn added. Bad news? There's nothing good about this. "There's good news?" He asked hopefully. "No." Glenn responded. "Listen, whoever you guys are. I don't mind telling you I'm a little concerned in here." I laughed, "Oh mister, you should see it from out here. You'd be freaking out." He sighed, "Got any advice?" Glenn looked at me then at the tank before saying, "Yeah, I'd say make a run for it."  Glenn wasn't entirely wrong, If he stayed in the tank, he'd starve. If he got out and got bit, he'd die anyways. So the better chance is making a run for it and not getting bit. "That's it make a run for it?" He asked. "Our way's not as dumb as it sounds. You've got eyes on the outside here. There's one geek still up on the tank but the others have climbed down and joined the feeding frenzy where the horse went down. With us so far?" Glenn asked into the walkie. "Okay, the street on the other side of the tank is less crowded. If you move now while they're distracted, you stand a chance. Got ammo?" I asked. "In that duffel bag I dropped out there, and guns. Can I get to it?" The voice asked. I scoff, "Forget the bag, okay? It's not an option. What do you have on you?" It takes a second, but he finally replies, "I've got a Beretta with one clip, 15 rounds." I look outside at what seems like millions of walkers eating the horse and/or around the tank. He's dead. "Make 'em count. Jump off the right side of the tank, keep going in that direction. There's an alley up the street, maybe 50 yards. Be there." Glenn said quickly. "What's your name?" The man asks. Seriously what's with this guy. "Wanna play 20 questions or do you wanna get your ass out of this mess. Like seriously have you been listening? You're running out of time." I tell him. Glenn starts to head out to meet the man and I follow him but he turns around. "You're not coming." He tells me. "What's it with men telling me what I can and can't do today?" I ask out loud. He looks me in the eyes and puts a hand on my arm, "Because I care about you Madison. I can't see you get hurt." I didn't realize what was happening and Glenn pulled me closer and kissed me. I stood there for a moment shocked until I pushed Glenn away. I wiped my mouth, "Glenn what the hell?" He looked shocked, "Oh my-Oh my G-God. Did I really just do that? Mads, I'm sorry. It was just all the feelings all at once. I know you're married and to Shane of all people. I'm sorry."  I shook my head, "Hey, don't worry about it. We all get crushes, it happens." He nods and goes out the window to meet the stranger. Before he leaves he looks at me, "Head back to the group. I'll be back soon."
