Just Another Survival Story (TWD)

Just a big headache

      We all sat at the camp fire everyone was having their own conversation. Merle and Daryl,Dale and The two sisters, Rick and Shane with Lori, Morales with his family, Tdog and Jacque were teasing Glenn and Sophia and Carl  were chatting. My eyes widen is Merle and Carol flirting!! Oh my shit. The feeling of loneliness came over me agin  I look down and play with my food I alway had problems when it came to being by myself other than to survive. I swallow and put my food onto Sophia's plate before leaving the came fire. I walk over to my tree and sit by the roots and put my head in my hands. I lets out a shaky breath before looking back up. The forest, my home, a place of my peace of mind and possibly the loneliest place to be. I have a group of people who care about me but I can't help but feel lonely. It's stupid, I know, but I can't help but feel they just want to be around me cause I have no kin or actual real friends besides the kids, Merle (he would tell me if he didn't want me as a friend) and maybe Shane. I here shuffling of feet before I hear Lori's voice.

"Be honest with me Shane. Do you really care?"

That bitch.

"'Bout what Lori?"

"Delilah. Do you actually give a damn about what she has to say? She's a kid!"

"No Lori I don't," I froze. What?

"Really then why are you always around her?"

"I-I don't know. To be honest it's probably 'cause the first day she was here I asked her if she had anyone she said no," The bastard that lying bastard! I thou- no..I shouldn't be fucking surprised.
"I felt bad,"

"Well,"I hear Lori say seductively," how about we have some fun then?"

      That's when I stepped out I storm over to a shocked looking Shane and a smug looking Lori," Go fuck your whore in your tent Shane not at my Fuckin' tree," I say I look at Lori ," life's a bitch and it will bite ya in the ass one day," I say before going over to me tree.

"Delilah-"

"Come on Shane,"

I ignore everything else I sit in my tree my body facing the trunk and my head leaning against it. Shane. The man that I thought of as a brother and friend. I never felt so fucking stupid in my life! I fell asleep in my position only to be waken by some one calling my name. It's early so the camp is most likely still somewhat asleep.  I look down and see a sad looking Carl. I climb down hopping of the last three branches landing how I usually do.

"Hey bud," I whisper.

      Carl hugs me around the neck,"M-mom b-broke up w-ith dad!" He cries. I cling to the little boy feeling my heart break for him and Rick. "Where'd ya here that from?"

"They were fighting about it behind the tent," Carl says ,"all of them,"

"Shhh," I shush him.

"W-why?" He cries," why now?" Carl says into my shoulder.

"Because it's convenient," I say," do ya wanna train?" Carl pulls back making me look at his puffy reddened face. "It gets my mind off a lot of thangs," I lie it helps a little but not much.

"Yeah I'll get Sophia," Carl says walking away.

I stand up," on the double grimes. We eat in 10," I command.

"Yes ma'am," came the strong response I wanted to hear and the running of feet. I move to the fire and see Carol making some sandwiches.

"I'm sorry," she whispers," I know you two were like best-"

"Carol I love you like a your my long lost mother but please," I whisper I shake my head," can I have two more made? The kid- I mean other rangers," Carol looks up ," will need food," I finish.
