The Curl of Your Lips | TWD -Shane |

You think that its funny when I'm Mad

I walked into Carl's room and smiled, he was awake. "Hey Carl. I'm glad you're awake."

"Me too Miss Lee." He grinned.

"I went for a supply run today. I got a few trinkets," I sat my bag on the bed and pulled out a football and a remote controlled helicopter."Also, you're a grown man, been shot and everything. You've certainly earned the right to call me Abigail."

"Cool."He laughed eyeing the toys."Thanks Miss Lee...I mean Abigail."

I left the room and went to give out the rest of my bounty. It was mainly just clothes and shoes,but I had something for Carol.I knocked on the RV door before walking in,"Carol?"

She looked up from sewing,"Oh. Hello Abigail."

"I can only imagine what you're going through. I just thought that maybe if Sophia has...left us that you'd might like this." I held out a key chain with 'SOPHIA' written out in girly letters,"and if we find her she's got a nifty key chain."

She ran her fingers over the letters and smiled sadly,"thank you."

"I know we don't have cars..but maybe your belt loop would suffice. So yeah, goodnight Carol."

I went to my car and climbed in to sleep there for the night. I was exhausted and didn't want to wait for Shane.

I woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night. I hyperventilated as I glanced around. I wasn't in my car anymore, but in a tent with Shane, who was stirring below me."Abbs?"

"Just a dream." I panted out pushing hair back from my face."Go back to sleep."

He nodded and I slowly slid back down beside him falling back to sleep for the rest of the night.

The next day I spent collecting fuel and anything left from the highway, which wasn't much. No sign of Sophia there either. I drove into the farm just as Shane and Rick walked in the fence. Neither of them looked thrilled. I closed my car door and leaned against it as I crossed my arms observing them until Shane walked up to me."Have any trouble?"

"None at all. You?"

He shook his head,"Only with the livin'. Abigail, do you think we should keep looking for Sophia?"

"Honestly? No. There's no way in hell that that girl is alive. " I felt ashamed for being so brutally honest. " She was weak in the group, she's even weaker on her own."

"I told Rick! He's making us weak!" He said outraged.

"Shane, Sophia is someone's child. If it was Carl or your kid would you tell him to stop lookin' ?"

He shook his head and stared at the ground.

I was just wasting time , just walking around and keeping mind busy when Andrea stood up from the post,"Walker!"

The men rushed forward arming themselves as Andrea continued,"I bet I can nail him from here."

"No. Hershel wants to take care of walkers."Rick said a he walked into the field, I stood back. There were more people than necessary as is. I watched as they all rushed up to it but paused. I heard a click.

"Andrea! No!" But she had already shot it nailed the walker and it collapsed followed by Ricks screams."Andrea what the hell did you do!"

I rushed to the fence to get a better view. Daryl. It was Daryl."Dammit Andrea!"

She ran to his side already in tears"Is he dead? Did I kill-"

"Just unconscious."Rick answered and they carried him inside.I turned to Andrea and grabbed her arm.

"Are you stupid? You had an order." I poked my finger into her chest.

"Excuse me?"She scoffed. 

I was infuriated,"Rick told you not to.They could have easily handled it but you just had to show off! You could have killed him! Not to mention you've wasted a bullet that could easily mean life or death."

I briefly heard Glenn murmur to Dale about hormones but I brushed it off already indignant ,"So in the future if you want to get special attention and applause do something that's actually useful."

I stepped into the house and waited beside Lori in the hall and breathed in and out to calm myself down. I was oblivious to why I was so upset. Daryl and I weren't even friends to be honest.Lori glanced over and busted into laughter. I glared in an impish manner,which only made her laugh harder. "Her face."She finally wheezed out. 

Daryl turned out to be fine, Andrea didn't cause much damage however, I won't apologize. Shane got a real kick out of what happened when Glenn told him,even Rick cracked a smile at my expense.

"Alright.Alright."I mumbled and stomped into my tent to ferment in my own haywire feelings. 

"Come on, Abbs. You know I was just teasing." Shane nudged my shoulder and smiled making a similar grin break out on my face. He kissed me quickly and climbed out of the tent.
