2 months had passed, and Tom was surrounded by people he just wanted to kill to get to the one he'd been missing, Charlie had been trying make sure Juliet was kept under tight wraps while the girl just wanted to kill somebody, anyone who deserved it of course. Lately she felt like a whole lot of people were telling her what to do, and she hated it. Apparently because of the situation she wasn't allowed outside the walls, which was all just bullshit to her.
Juliet had been kept out of the loop, doing her own thing while Charlie and Reese worked behind the scenes. Normally Reese trusted her and so did the rest of the community. To them she was out there surviving her whole life, they hadn't seen the things she had, and they didn't know some things she knew. It was safe to say, she and her old group had amazing street credit. Before she found herself working, going out and getting supplies but lately ever since she got back, she hadn't been doing much, and and she absolutely hated it.
Of course Reese did need her help, but Charlie and Markus agreed to keep things quiet for now only because of Tom. Juliet wasn't dumb she knew she was being left out on information and maybe some plans but she didn't know how far it went, and how serious it was and would become. So knowing she wasn't gonna be included anytime soon, these past two months, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
"Hey Juliet, are you still up?" Charlie asked as he knocked on the door to her small home, eagerly waiting for a response, after hearing some shuffling around the door finally opened. "Yeah, what's up?" The girl questioned, opening the door wide enough for him to enter, as he did, the girl sat back down her dirty dark green futon, closing her book and putting it aside.
Charlie thought she looked so cozy, he almost felt bad for interrupting the rest of her night. "Nothing, just came to check up on you." he told her, sitting down next to her. After a moment to think for a bit, she took in a big breath, looking around the room for something to get her mind going again "I'm doing fine." Was all she said, which made Charlie let out a small laugh. "Fine? How about with—"
"I'm alright." She insisted, not wanting to hear Charlie say his name, or anything about what happened, it was already on her mind 24/7. Taking the hint, he nodded his head and gave a smile "okay, well if you're so fine, then come with me to the gathering tomorrow." Charlie suggested, lately he had noticed that ever since what happened she had been a bit distracted and distant. Of course he left her alone for a while, to give her space to greave, but now he needed to make sure she was alright.
Letting out a sigh, she scolded herself at how she completely forgot about that. "I don't know..." was all she said, which he was expecting. "I have a lot of things to do like wake up and work out, clean some weapons, go to work, work out some more." She wasn't lying she did do that everyday, but during the night was when she had more important plans, more important than a small gathering anyhow. "You do that everyday already, take a break."
