My Rule

Chapter 43

I woke with a strained neck and a bad back. Yesterday's running and working was way too much. I wiggled out of Zach's grasp and got out of bed. I smoothed his hair and looked down at Brianna who was sound asleep. Rubbing my sleepy eyes yawning I look at the clock. It was 6:23 am. Mehh.

I walked downstairs and saw Adan and Maggie with a few others from Alexandria eating breakfast. I sat down at the table and ate. I was going to training today. I was nervous. I mean, these guys are going to beat me up left right and sideways.

I saw Carl come down and he looked at me. He sat in front of me and just stared at me while I ate. It was uncomfortable. Some memories came back into my mind as I was eating. I teared up a little and had enough of it.

"I have to go I'm sorry." I choked out running off. I heard Sasha and Carol call me, but I ignored them. On my way out I.bumped into Daryl.

"Whoa there lass, whas the matta?" He asked. I shook my head and ran away. "Lilleh!"

I sobbed while I ran up to the bathroom. I was so angry, and upset, a.d frustrated, I couldn't even think. I broke down silently in the bathroom and curled up in the corner.

"Mom, Daddy, Beth, I need your guidance. Please show me the way to end this pain. I can't take it anymore. Please!" I prayed crying in the middle.

After I pulled myself together I went into my bedroom and changed into a blue and white baseball t shirt with my blue jeans and my combat boots. I put my hair in a messy bun and got my gun together.

I clicked my gun closed and turned only to find myself trapped by a strong chest that belonged to Zach.

"Hi Zach." I said quietly.

"Hi Lilly pad. What's wrong?"

"Nothing." I said sniffing and trying to get past him. But he grabbed onto my arm and pulled me back to him. "Come on. Tell me." He said.

I felt my heavy heart and told him about Carl and Enid in a short summary. I wiped my hot cheeks and he pulled me in for a hug. It was a nice long hug. I smiled into his chest and he rubbed my back. "We have to go. Don't let anything hold you back from doing your training today. Okay?"

"Okay."
