Miss Jones - ON HOLD

JSS

Parkers POV

Tam dropped me off at my house and I was greeted by my step mom. Not many people in the community knew she wasn't my biological mother, I wanted to keep it that way. She was giving herself a haircut and finished up before she called me over.

"I'm glad you're learning, I'll try and teach your brothers too." She said as I sat down and let her start doing ny usual haircut. We talked until it was over, she was just saying how she was glad I got a strong friend like Tam.

"Ron can you come down here?" She called once mine was over. I was looking in the fridge for something to eat while he came down and just started arguing with her.

"Ron stop it. Rick isn't dangerous. He's here to protect us. Dad could never do that." I said sternly back to him and he just stomped off. "He is such an asshat." I huffed and shut the fridge before I stomped out of the house like Ron had.

I went to the smoking spot, before I was grabbed by someone, Tam.

Tamara's POV

"We need to go, now. People have attacked we need to go now." I said seriously as I grabbed Parker and motioned for us to start our way. "Either you go and hide or you fight with me. You need to learn fast okay." He didn't respond to what I said the first time so I had to get it through his head the second time.

"I need to protect Sammy." He said finally and I nodded. "I'll get you there but then I need to go." We started running towards his house and he shook his head. "No we can protect each other from the house."

"Those people are kiling our people, I'm staying out here." I said firmly as we ran up to his house. "Go get inside! Now." I yelled and he hesitated before I ran off to the armory.

I was met by a strange man, with wide crazy eyes and a bloody 'W' on his forehead. "Hey asshole." I called and swiftly grabbed a gun, he looked my way about to shoot but I shot first.

I holstered my gun and grabbed a machete. Running out I looked around, none of them had guns. It made things all too much easier. "Hey assholes come and get me!" I yelled and turned around in a circle till I was greeted by one of the sickos.

They ran up to me quickly and I slammed my blade into his head. A couple more came at me, I was just in the middle of the park taking them all on.

Before I knew it I was joined by both Dennis and a hesitant Parker. They were fighting along side me. "Is your mom and brothers safe?!" I yelled to Parker while we fought.

"I came out to look for Ron!" He yelled as he fought too. As we came to the last one I killed it and sighed in relief. "We need to go h-" I felt a sharp pain in my back. I looked down seeing a blade through me.

"Hide," I looked up to them, finishing my sentence and held my stomach as I started spitting up blood. Falling to my knees I saw Dennis kill the person who had stabbed me. "Pick her up we need to bring her to the infirmary!" Dennis yelled at Parker who stood their in utter shock.

"Grab her now!" He yelled, the most serious he had ever been. Parker grabbed me, shakily holding me bridal style. They began running towards the infirmary. Dennis fighting a few people along the way. "I guess-" I coughed some blood up. "You get to- learn now." I smiled weakly as I looked up at Parker.

"Y-you're pr-etty too." A laugh fell from my lips, followed with mode blood that was drenching my clothes and Parker's too. He was holding me awkward afraid if he went to quick the knife would hurt me more, but if he wasn't quick enough they wouldn't be able to save me.

I heard a door open and and slam shut, we must've gotten to the infirmary but everything was getting blurry. I felt like I was underwater.

"Hey no no you stay awake," he heard Parker practically yell at me as he sat me down. "I'll be okay, I'll be okay." I mumbled just smiling away as Denise rushed to me and pulled the knife out so she could lay me down and start surgery on me.

We didn't have any anesthesia, just things to take the pain away. They made me swallow some pills but they had to act quick and they wouldn't help roght away.

"Gah! Stop stop!!" I cried finally, they kept working on me listening to my screams until everything went black.

I woke up, feeling dizzy. "Oh my god your awake. Parker Parker she's awake she's awake!" I heard Dennis yell and I cringed. "So loud... jeez. Where's Glenn? They should be back from the practice run right?" I questioned and they both looked to eachother in a strange way.

"Is he dead?"

"They had to do the real thing, everyone, they're still out there. Your dad is back though. I can get him if you want. The people that were here, they're all gone." Dennis said, Parker stayed silent. Parker was just staring at me, analyzing me like I was disappear.

"Hey, I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm alive. Can I have some water though? And like something for this headache." I asked and Denise walked up to me like she'd seen a ghost.

"You're alive shit you're alive." She mumbled ss she started taking my vitals and handed me a water and some sort of pill. "I wasn't the only one was I? Hey Denise it's okay. You did what you could. You saved me. People will die, you prevented a death." I said to make her feel better.

She didn't say anything, no one did. My eyes fell over on the still silent Parker. "You know. You guys all look like shit." I said with a weak smile, feeling dried blood pull on my skin while my lips curved upwards.

"So do you"
