It feels incredible weird to be showered, shaved, wearing clean clothes, and having a little makeup on. After months of getting none of those things, I didn't think I ever would. Now, I have a glass of wine in my hand and I am surrounded by a bunch of strangers.
Well, Shane is standing in front of me. I guess he is not a stranger. He looks really good wearing a white button up shirt tucked into a pair of dark jeans. His necklace is rested against his chest. I can't help but reach out and rub my fingers against the cold metal. Memories flood of Shane playing football and me cheering from the sidelines. I was always his biggest supporter.
"Are you okay?" He asks quietly.
"I just never thought I would see you again," I admit, looking up to meet his gaze.
"Me neither. It was so confusing waking up in this world. I felt like I was dreaming. I had no idea where you were or if Rick was okay."
I drop the pendant as Rick clears his throat, "I need my baby sister."
I look over at Rick who looks more handsome than ever. He has Judith in his arms and I quickly nod.
"I'll see you around," I tell Shane and walk away before he has the chance to say anything else.
I follow Rick outside until he stops, causing me to run into him.
"You clearly have a lot on your mind, Maeve."
"I'm confused," I admit.
"Me too," He agrees, sitting on the steps on Deanna's porch.
I sit next to him and take Judith from him, "How is this happening?"
"I have no idea," He mumbles, pressing a kiss to the side of my head.
"I just want to scream and cry," I tell him with a soft laugh. I'm so confused on everything.
"Do we tell Shane how he acted or leave him in the dark?" Rick wonders out loud.
"He's like himself now. The one we both loved."
"What if he changes like he did before?"
That thought terrifies the shit out of me. I lost Shane once before, I don't want to lose him again. He was terrible when I pulled the trigger but I have years of memories of who he was. The boy who kissed my knee when I was learning to ride my bike and fell off. The teen who cared for me after my parents died. The man who spent every night with me while Rick was in the hospital to make sure I didn't fall apart.
I'll never be able to give my heart to him like I thought I would. Daryl owns my heart. But the little girl in me wants Shane Walsh back. I want my brother's best friend to also be my best friend again. The overbearing man that did everything to protect my heart from stupid boys and loud noises.
I sigh, "i'm gonna go find Daryl."
"Wanna take Judith with you?" he asks me.
"Are you planning on taking a woman home tonight?" I tease him.
