walk with me

Chapter one

“No! Paul! No!” I was woken by a man who, as I recall, was named Glenn. I was covered in sweat. 

“You okay?” I could see the concern in Glenn´s eyes. I liked him but, not in a romantic way; he has a girlfriend anyways. I liked Glenn because he was sweet and gentle. Fuck, the others are coming. Were my screams that bad?

“What the fuck is going on!?” said Rick while walking in my cell. I could see everyone else peeking, trying to get a glimpse on what was going on.

“I- it was just a bad dream” my words were barely audible but Rick got them.

“Come on people what the hell? Little ass-kicker has been crying all night and now this?” I looked for that familiar, cute face I knew: Daryl´s. Daryl and Glenn were the only ones that had actually been nice to me since I arrived. The others had me here out of guilt; Rick mostly.

“You okay Erin?” I nod. My real name is Talia but I don´t like it much, I like Erin. I haven´t taken my eyes off Daryl and deep down me I know it´s creepy. Maybe it is wrong that a nineteen year old is falling for a man twice her age but, he´s different. I might just be desperate or hurt, after what happened to me I have been feeling as lonely as hell. Who knows? Maybe it´s just the fact that he is one of the last men standing.

“What are you looking at?” Daryl teased. Shit. This is the very thing I needed.

“Um nothing I-“ Fuck. Daryl just laughed.

“I´m shitting with you Erin” he said with that cute smirk he has. The others were at a very awkward silence.

When everybody else left I snapped; self-control wasn´t my best skill. My eyes were officially the new Niagara Falls. Just the memories of him, lying on the ground, blood everywhere… Damn I miss Paul. At this moment I just want someone to hold me and tell me that everything will be alright. I hated Rick for what he did. He took everything from me that day: my brother, belongings, my life… even my gun was now his. Footsteps came down the hallway.

“Hey,” it was Glenn, “I heard you crying so I came here because, um, well I don´t want you to feel alone. You must be in a lot of pain right now.”

It was true, I was. I wanted Glenn to stay so bad but I knew Maggie didn´t like me much; nobody did. If she found out he would be in trouble. Glenn seemed to understand and quickly added “She´s okay you know, Maggie. She told me to come.” Wow. She doesn’t hate me that much then. Glenn and I talked all night, told stories. We got to know each other better. About two hours passed and the tears came back. Glenn said nothing, he just hugged me.

Plase comment and be honest! Hope you´re liking it so far.
