Before I fall

Chapter 50(before i fall)

Jenna POV
*click* the gun didn't shoot.

I pulled the trigger three more times but each time was just a click.

Rick ran up and knocked the gun out of my hands.

I fell to the ground and rick caught me.

Everyone ran over as I sobbed.

"Jenna. Don't ever do that to me." Rick said hugging me tighter.

Maggie came up behind me and grabbed the rest of my weapons.

"Daryl?"

"Yeah?" He said in a gruff voice.

"Merle's dead, I'm sorry I couldn't save him."

His face dropped.

"Jenna, I love you so much." Rick whispered to me.

I just silently cried until rick pulled me up.

"Let's go, we need to find somewhere for us to stay." Rick said putting his arm around my waist.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what happened." I told rick.

"You don't have to say anything baby." He replied.

We kept walking for a while until we stopped to make camp for the night.

"If I give you your weapons back. Are you going to hurt yourself?" Maggie asked.

I shook my head, "okay." She smiled handing me my knife and pistol.

"Should we play a game?" Carl asked hopefully.

"Sure." Maggie answered.

"Have any more games in your bag?" She asked looking at me.

"I'm not sure." I answered honestly.

"Maybe maggie should sing a song." I suggested.

"No way." Maggie said laughing.

"Oh c'mon." Glenn said nudging her side.

"Fine." She gave in looking around.

--time lapse-- next day--

I woke up next to rick. He was already awake.

"Hey sweetie." He whispered kissing my head.

"Do we have to get up?" I asked looking up at him.

"Yes." He whispered placing a soft kiss onto my lips.

"Ughh." I groaned turning over and putting my face into the blanket.

I eventually got up and walked over to the fire with everyone else.

Glenn went to hand me a bowl but I shook my head.

"No thanks." I said politely.

The only spot open was in between rick and Daryl. I sighed and sat down.

"Well you look happy." Daryl mumbled.

"Ya, I'm overjoyed." I commented in a harsh tone.

"Alright you two, be nice." Maggie said looking over at me.

Rick put his hand in mine and I closed my eyes.

"What are the plans for today grimes?" I asked looking over at him.

"Well, we're going to keep walking until we find a vehicle big enough for all of us, and we will take it from there." He answered me.

--time lapse-- three hours later--

"Are we there yet?" Carl asked moaning.

"Nope." Rick answered popping the p.

"Now are we there?" Carl asked again about two minutes later.

"Still no Carl." Rick answered again.

"Now?" Carl asked one more time.

"If you ask again in going to tie you to a tree." Glenn said laughing.

"Trust me, he will." I comment earning a laugh from everyone.

"Hey, I did that for a good reason." Glenn replied.

"Cause you weren't strong enough to handle me?" I asked turning around and walking backwards to face him.

"Oh trust me jenna, I could take you with my eyes closed." Glenn chuckled.

"Oh yeah?" I said also chuckling.

"Okay crazy. Calm down." rick said grabbing my hand.

"Hey I'm very calm mister." I said walking forwards again.

I snapped my head to the left when I heard the sound of moaning.

"Shit!" Daryl yelled as we all broke into a sprint down the road.

"Go! I'll hold them off!" Daryl shouted.

"No!" I yelled seeing a walker sneak up behind him.

I whipped around just in time for the walker to take a chunk out of his neck.

"NOOO!" I screamed as rick grabbed my arm and yanked me forward.

"Daryl!" I screamed but I could no longer see him through the reanimated dead bodies.

"No no no." I kept crying remembering all the good times we had together.

--Flash back--
"I bet you I can make it to the fence faster than you." Daryl said challenging me.
"Oh yea? Prove it." I said taking off to the fence.

--different flashback--
"I love you Daryl."
"I love you more Jenna."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do."
"Prove it."
"Fine." He said smashing his lips to mine.

--different flashback--
Me and Daryl were laying laying in the grass, our fingers intertwined.
"You know what would be perfect?" I asked turning my head towards Daryl.
"What?" He asked.
"If we had a little house, with a white picket fence and a dog."
"What kind of dog?" He asked.
"A collie." I answered.

--Different flashback--
I've had a sore shoulder all day, shooting a shot gun is not my thing.
"You okay baby?" Daryl asked sitting next to me.
"Ya, just sore." I replied sighing.
He put his hands on my shoulders and started rubbing then gently.
"Better?" He asked.
I leaned into his touch. "Much better."

-end of flashbacks--

We finally stopped running and I kneeled on the ground. Maggie ran over to me and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"It's going to be okay. Well be okay now." She said.

"You can't promise that." I replied trying to suppress my crying.

"Why not?" She questioned.

"We will never be safe." I answered.

"Then we will help you through this." Glenn said.

"I don't need help getting through this." I replied.

"Then what do you need?" Rick asked.

"I just need to be caught.. Before I fall."
