walk with me

Chapter five

"Goodbye Tara!" I waved at my friend as she continued walking heading home.

"Bye Erin!" She called back.

Tara and I had been best friends since first grade; we were inseparable. Being now a junior, our friendship remained the same. She knew things about me nobody else did, including I had slept with Brandon Strider: the hottest guy at school. I too, knew things about her you couldn´t imagine.

As I walked into my house I called out for my mom letting her know I was back. I went straight to my bathroom where I immediately got naked and hoped into the shower. The cold water relaxed me. When I was finished, I got dressed and went to the kitchen. Wanting to eat some melon, I looked for the big knife we used for chopping. 

"Mom! I can´t find the big knife! Any idea where it is?" I yelled. When I heard no response I went to her bedroom. 

Mom was on the floor when I found her. She was on the ground with a pool of blood next to her. My mom had killed herself.

Everything went blurry for a second and next thing I know is I´m in the woods with my brother. We were laughing so hard over something he´d said. Dinner was almost ready when we heard as if several people were coming. We both stood up and took out our guns. Three men and a woman appeared, their guns ready to fire.

"Who the hell are you?" Paul asked. A man with a crossbow responded but I dind´t get what he had said.

"Hey we are not going to hurt you or the girl if you don´t give us a reason to, okay?" said a man with dark brown hair and green eyes. The other guy was Asian and he was in a very protective position by the woman which had short brown hair. 

The guy with the crossbow caught my attention though. He had dark blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. He´s eyes were fixed on me.

Everything went blurry again and I saw my brother die.

"No. No. No." I said not believing what had happened.

"Paul! Don´t leave me! I need you!" I screamed. I could hear the assholes that killed him arguing.

"Rick we can´t leave her! Walkers will come because of the noise and she will die because of us!" the Asian guy said.

"Fine." the asshole named Rick snarled.

Someone lift me from the ground and carried me. I screamed even harder. 

We got to a car and I was in shock. The guy that had carried me talked to me but I just could not respond. Later I realized it was the crossbow dude; the one with beautiful eyes. After some time we got to a prison where other people were waiting for... well, not me. They were waiting for the assholes.

When I got out of the car people began asking who the hell I was. Rick explained to them what had happened and even said in front of me the only reason I was here was because he felt remorse.

"Erin wake up." Daryl whispered this to my ear several times until I was completely awake. Those had been memories from the past; the worst memories I had.

"You okay?" Daryl asked. I nodded.

"Well... um... can I help you with anything?" I said nothing.

"Kiss me." I pleaded.

Daryl made a confused look and kissed my forehead. Quickly, I moved my head and met his lips as I touched his hair. Surprisingly he kissed me back. I removed he´s shirt while he kissed my neck.  Our lips separated.

"You´re not a minor right?" he asked. I just giggled and shook my head.
