The Curl of Your Lips | TWD -Shane |

I feel perfectly fine

Headlights shown through the window and we all ducked.Footsteps got closer and closer until,"Dave?Tony?"

At least two men were outside, just a few feet from where I was cowering. They argued for a minute before scurrying off.Glenn peaked out the window closest to him, then Rick checked his. He shook his head,"I say we make a run for the car."

The men got closer and Glenn got to the door just in time to push it back closed.One man tried again but gave up,"Hey anybody in there?"

They bickered back and forth for a few moments before giving up.

"They drew on us!"Rick called out. We all looked at him stunned.

"Dave and Tony in there? They alive?"

"No."Rick answered as I begun to sneak towards the back of the bar.

The men outside argued for a minute before Rick butted in,"You're friends drew on us! They gave us no choice. I'm sure we've all lost enough people,done things we wished we didn't have to.-" Bullets flew through the window and Rick sprung into action. I scooped up Dave's gun as I waited behind the bar parallel to Glenn.Rick reloaded his gun and tried to diffuse the situation as Glenn snuck off to the back room. I followed but stood by the door as he scoped it out. I watched as Glenn shot a shadow through the glazed over glass making it shatter.

"I'm okay!"He called to Rick.

Hershel and I were ordered to back up Glenn while he makes a dash for the car, he was out for then seconds before shots were fired. I wined as a bullet hit my thigh but ignored the pain.Hershel took a shot and the man went down, Glenn fell back behind a dumpster.

He was panicked and as we crawled out we were shot at again, but a truck drove by and we watched as a man jumped from the roof trying to get to the tuck in time, but he fell and began to cry out in pain.

"The gunfire must have attracted the walkers."Hershel deducted as he made his way over. I made my way to the car as they inspected the boy that jumped.I started up the car and drove over just in time to see the boys leg be pulled off by Rick. I opened the doors letting Hershel and Rick in front beside me , Glenn and the boy in the back.

"You're bleeding."Rick stated eyeing the stain ."You got shot!"

"I'm fine. I'll make it home."I huffed speeding down the street."It's a lot faster with no traffic.It was daybreak before we got back.

I parked close to the house and limped out of the car as Shane rushed over,"What the hell happened?"

"I fell of the carousel."I rolled my eyes,"I got shot.Help me inside?"

Shane let me lean against him as we made our way inside and to the room Carl was in.As soon as I was down Shane ran back outside. Through the window I saw him walk up to Rick.

"You let her get shot!"He accused, poking Rick's chest.

"Its not deep or that bad.She'll be fine."

"Fine?Fine? She's shot! Under your watch!"

"I'm not a child!'' I yelled out the window."Rick's right I'm perfectly fine."

"Bullshit."Shane muttered and walked back inside to me."You're gonna have to take the pants off."

"Get out of the room." I ordered moving back into the bed."I don't need you here."

Shane grabbed my hips and started to unbutton my jeans. I tried to push him off but that only made him grip harder making me yelp in pain,"damn it,Shane.Stop!Stop it."

Carl was the first to run in,"Shane?"

Shane backed away eyeing me hard before turning to the boy,"She's being difficult."

"You're not hurting her are you?"

"No. No of course not, kid."Shane ruffled Carl's hair.

I eyed the two and sighed shaking my head,"Carl go ask if Maggie has some shorts I can wear,please."

"Yes miss Lee."

Getting the bullet out was no problem and neither was stitching it up, Maggie did it all in under twenty minutes.As soon as I was finished I limped into the dining room for the meeting.

"Having him here would be a danger." I agreed with Rick's idea of leaving the boy a few miles out,"He could lead his group here and from what I've seen of them so far I don't want them anywhere near here."

" You killed two of their own took one hostage, don't you think they'll come lookin' for him?" Shane stood up straight.

"They left him, for all they know he's dead."Rick argued.

"Great.Great,you know..I'm going to get him a box of candy and some flowers!" Shane started to storm off.

We all listened in silence as Hershel put Shane in his place, he was getting out of control. It's hard to think a year ago this man was out buying me flowers and candy because I had the flu.Maybe that man was in there somewhere. I stood an followed Shane out but stopped as I saw him with Andrea. I pulled together everything and made my way over,"Shane!"

They turned to me and Andrea walked past Shane then me,on my way to him. "Shane, I was planning on going down to the lake...to swim. Come with me?"

"Swimming."He scoffed,"All this going on and you want to go swimming."

"Please Shane. We haven't had any alone time in weeks."I pleaded.

He sighed and nodded ,"Fine."

The walk to the river was almost silent, thankfully it wasn't a long one. As soon as we got to the bank of a place deep enough to swim I started pulling off my clothes. I turned to face Shane, standing only in my underwear and bra. I surprised him by peeling them off me next and jumping into the cool water.

Shane was in beside me instantly,puliing me close to him.
