When I woke up the next morning I was alone, and cold, in my room of the CDC. I looked on the bedside table where the flower that Daryl got me still sat. I reached for it, clenched it in my hands, before kicking off my covers and moving from the room.
I stared over the toilet, my hand hovering over it slightly. I took a deep breath before dropping the blue flower into the dirty toilet bowel. Without hesitation I flushed the toilet and turned to look at my reflection in the mirror.
I rubbed my arm before splashing some cold water on my face. I sighed when I realized I'd have to deal with Kate and Daryls' stupid faces.
When I got back to my room I rumaged through my backpack of clothes. I sighed when I picked out a black tank-top, a purple shirt that was off the shoulder and cut off at my belly button, topped off with a pair of black jean shorts. I dressed quickly and rushed into the elevator.
When i walked into the dining area everyone was smiling and eating breakffast, while others were suffering from a hang-over. I gave Shane a quick wink and a secretive smirk before sliding into my seat.
"I think the women are the only ones without hangovers," Lori stated and I giggled.
"I don't drink often but when I do....you don't want to see it so I hold back."
After it was just Shane and I in the room he walked over to the door and locked it. He turned back to me and i was already sitting on the table, swinging my legs back and forth. "What changed your mind?"
I shrugged. "Can't a girl want what she wants, whenever she wants it?"
He smirked when he came over and stood between my legs. His fingers trailed over my exposed skin on my thighs. "Guess I can't complain can I?"
I shook my head before bringing my lips onto his. His hands went up my sides and I wrappedn my legs aorund his waist.
When the two of us were finished I was sore. "Did I go too hard darlin'?" he asked.
"No, wasn't that."
"Then what?" my silence and blush made him smile. "Were you a-"
I covered his mouth. "Dont' say it out loud," I hissed.
"Ain't no one around to hear me, but a virgin, really?"
"It was a phobia."
He touched my face. "Well you were perfect, couldn't even tell."
I smirked. "Thanks but I knew you could tell."
"Nah, wasn't paying attention to too many details."
I rolled my eyes. "This stays between us, no?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Thanks," I whispered.
"I know why you did it."
"Did what?"
"Have sex with me."
"Why?"
"You wanted to piss Daryl off."
"Not true."
"Yeah it is, and I'm okay with it, sort of."
"I do like you, Shane."
"Then how come it never happened before?"
"I'm stupid I guess."
That's when yells were heard. I heard a loud slam and the two of us took off running.
"What in the hell is going on?!" Shane yelled when we walked into the room.
"This place is going to blow up!" Rick yelled.
"What?" I asked.
"It's been the plan all along,' Jenner said.
"Are you insane?!" I shouted as I grabbed Kaleb. "We have children in here?"
"Which would be better? Having them bitten or blown up?"
"We have a choice in the matter don't we?! This is opur life and our children," Lori whimpered.
Jenner looked down at his computer before pushing a button. "You have at least one minute to get out of here before this place goes up."
I watched as every one started to scurry. "COME ON!" Shelby yelled at me as her and Kaleb slung bags over their shoulders.
I looked at Jaqui, who was gonna stay, along with Andrea. "Guys, I think I'm gonna stay."
"What?" Shelby asked.
"I ain't got nothin' out there," I told her.
"You have Kaleb," She said.
"He has you, someone who could protect him more than I could."
"Don't do this."
"Jenner is right, if I don't die here then I'll die out there."
"That's not true, there will be hope out there somewhere," Shelby cried out.
"Go, get kaleb out of here."
"ALY!" Kaleb cried as Shane picked him up and practically ran out with him.
"Go," I ordered.
Her lip quivered but she did as I said and took off running.
"To hell with this, " I heard Daryl practically yell.
I screamed in anger as I was thrown over his shoulder. "DARYL DIXON YOU LET ME GO RIGHT NOW!" I shrieked as he ran with me.
Just as I was thrown onto the ground the CDC exploded. Daryl shielded me with his body as I pounded on his chest and screamed in anger. He was breathing heavily on me as he pulled me away from the fire.
Once I was on my feet I slapped him as hard as I could across his face. I growled in anger before running off towards the group in complete anger. TBC
