A New World

Finding Her

Jason's pov

She just took off into the woods. That's not safe. They're could still be walkers. I follow her but I lose track of her. I spot my hat and grab it while still looking.

Miranda's pov

I lean against a tree crying hysterically. I can't take this anymore! A tree branch moves and Merle steps into view. "you can't be here! You're dead!" I scream as he grabs my wrist and then it's not Merle it's Jason and I'm so confused. "please calm down, what's going on?" He gasps, worried. I throw my arms around his neck and cry. "it's okay." He whispers, holding me tight. "I'm so sorry I'm doing this to you." I whimper. He looks me in the eyes. "you aren't doing anything. It's not your fault. I can wait." He says. He glances around. "where are we?" He asks. I shrug and we begin walking, hopefully heading in the right direction. I hear the sound of a steel guitar and people getting loud and roudy to PBR.
Jason's pov

I almost faint when I hear Eric's voice. He's singing pledge allegiance to the hag. I run through the woods in the direction of his voice with Miranda yelling my name and running after me. I burst through the clearing and yell in disappointment. It's not Eric. It's just some kid listening to his song on YouTube. She catches up as the kid turns around. "what are you doing out here?" I ask. She shrugs and continues to play the song. I sigh and sit on the ground. "I really thought it was him. Why did I think that? He's dead." I mumble. "dad, there's a new guy." the girl screams. I look up and Eric walks out of a tent. "Eric, how are you alive?" I choke out. He shakes his head sadly. "the question is how are you dead?" He asks. I stare at him shocked. "dead? I'm not dead! Am I?" I cry, standing up. "the only way you can be here is either you're dead or you are having a near death experience." He says. Then I notice Miranda isn't here. "Where's Miranda?" I gasp. He smiles. "she's probably sitting by your body freaking out." He says. The color drains from my face. "no, I can't be dead!" I shout.

Miranda's pov

I find him laying on the ground with scratches all over his arms and face. He's breathing but barely. "what happened?" I cry, grabbing his hand. He sits up painfully and shakes his head. "what the?" He mumbles. "you tripped and hit your head on a rock." I say, glad that he's okay. I hug him tightly. "oh I thought I lost you." I cry. He hugs me. "don't worry hun, I ain't goin' nowhere." He says, pulling himself to a sitting position. He leans his weight on one arm while I help him stand up. We stand there for a few seconds until I press my lips to his, kissing him hard.
