Roses (Glenn Rhee x reader)

48| Collage

Y/n POV

"You never told us about the group you were with before" Daryl said with a cigarette in his mouth as he was working on fixing the car. He made me sit away from him so I wouldn't smell the smoke and he thought that could hurt the baby.

"Which one?" Bob asked as he let out smoke from a cigarette. I never liked those things because that's how mom died and I still don't know why Daryl did it. "You know, when you guys found me out on that road, I almost kept walking."

"Why is that?" I asked as I fidgeted with the wedding ring on my hand.

"Cause I was done being a witness. Two times, two different groups. I was the last one standing. Like I was supposed to see it happen over and over, like it's some kind of curse. But, when it's just you out here with the quiet...used to be I'd drink and bottle of anything just so I could shut my eyes at night. Figured the prison, the people, thought it'd be easier. The run to the big spot, I did it for me." Bob explained as he leaned against a wall.

"You gotta keep busy" Daryl grunted as he took a sip of the water.

"No. I did it so I could get me a bottle. Of anything. I picked it up, I held it in my hand, but I put it down. I put it down so hard it took the whole shelf down with it. That's what brought on the walkers, and that's what got Zach killed." Ben admitted. I looked down at my hands. I didn't know what to say with that.

"Thats bullshit" Daryl grunted as he blew smoke from the cigarette. "Why don't you get in there and try the engine?" Daryl asked Bob. "It's a red and a green wire. Go on. It ain't rocket science." Daryl asked, Bob nodded and he went into the car. The engine started up and I did my best to try and get up but luckily Michonne got there just in time

"Finally" I said with a small smile as I dusted myself off, she rolled her eyes at me. "Shot gun!" I called as I walked quickly to the car.

"Asshole" Michonne grunted as she as she got into the car. I smiled and stuck my tongue out to her.

"Hey, you can't call a pregnant lady that" I said with a smile and patted my stomach.

...

We soon made it to the collage. The wind was blowing softly as we walked towards the building, we stayed in formation as we kept on walking.

"Looks like we're getting closer" Daryl said as he pointed out the obvious. We made it to a brick building with vines consuming it.

"The busing we want is just up ahead" I said as I put the map back in my back pocket.

Daryl led us through door and door, and he held his crossbow up. We were nearing the room pretty soon and my heart was beating fast.

"Let's make this quick" Daryl said as we made it into the science lab. I nodded as I walked over to the back to try to find any medicine.

"Jackpot" I whispered as Bob followed to to the back of the room as we looked for all kids of medicine.

"Anything ending with cillin or cin" Bob told me, I found it and I threw it in my bag. "C-I-N, grab it. We'll dissolve the pills in the IVs, put em right into the bloodstream. Dosage will be tricky but considering the time we lost..." Bob trailed off as Tyreece walked in.

"How'd you do?" I asked Tyreece as I looked around.

"Bags, tubes, clamps, connectors. Everything in the list. What about yall?" Tyreece asked as he sat his bag down.

"Yeah, we got it all." Bob said as he look at me.

"Yeah. We're good" I said as I looked over real quick again.

"All right, let's roll" Daryl said as he grabbed some stuff before heading out.

We walked out of the building down the long hallways following the exit signsx all I wanted to do was get back to Glenn. We stopped when we heard walkers and quickly ran past them.

We ran into a fake room and used our flashlights to get by. We stoped when we heard a door shot and Bob was struggling to open it.

"Hey, doors busted" Bob said as he struggled with the door. Daryl went over to him. That could be our only way out, from the other end you could hear walkers coming from all over.

I felt Daryl drag me along as we walked down the hallway, we made it to a door where the walkers were trying to bust through.

"How many are there?" Daryl asked Michonne as she had her flashlight looking through the crack in the door.

"I can't tell" Michonne hummed out as she was trying to get a good look at all of the walkers.

"We can take em" Tyreece said as walkers started to break through the other side.

"No! They're infected. Same as at the prison. We fire at em get their blood on us, breathe it in, we didn't come all this way to get sick" Bob told us.

"How do we know the ones in there aren't any different?" Tyreece asked Bob not understanding what he meant.

"We don't" Michonne said as she kept watching the walkers trying to get a count.

"Well, it's gotta change sometime." Daryl said as he grabbed a chair and broke the leg off of it. The walkers behind us, the ones with the bloody eyes were coming at us pretty quick. "Ready?"

"Do it!" Tyreece said as we were running out of time, I nodded my head and took my katana out and sliced the lock off.

We took out the walkers that were coming our way and we were able to get a clean break for it, we walked up the stairs as the walkers were following behind us.
