*Jessicas p.o.v*
When I saw Mark shoot Megan, my hand suddenly became in contact with the gun I had sat on the table. I pulled he trigger without even thinking. Mark wasnt my real dad. Hes my uncle, the uncle that always wanted kids but never could. So when my dad passed away, before any of the zombie shit happened he 'adopted' me. I couldnt stand to live with him any longer. I was actually really happy that I had finally got away from him.
Everyone thinks I'm all innocent and nice, when in actuality I can be ruthless and cruel. Before we left the house, to come back to Megans, I took out my knife and cut off my uncles right ear. In my bag, I had a jar filled with ears. I opened the cap and added it to my collection of people that I have killed.
To be completely honest, I would rather kill a human being than a zombie, zombies are still people too. They might want to eat your flesh, but they are sick. They dont know what they are doing. Now, for the hard part. Keeping my past hidden while I'm with this new group. I have to pretend I'm unhappy about my 'father.'
*Megans p.o.v*
We showed Jess around the house after she had calmed down a bit. Showing her the guest room in the basement for her to sleep in.
"I know it might be scary down here, but trust me its sooo not." Samantha tried to cheer Jessica up.
A smile formed on her face as she thanked us for everything.
I returned the smile as I made my way back up the stairs to the living room.
When I reached the living room, Amerie grabbed my arm and pulled me to the kitchen to sit me down on a chair to change my bandages.
She pulled out some gauze and tape, I refused the help. But she gave it to me anyways. After I was done I headed upstairs to the bedrooms. I needed more sleep, Dan was already lying in bed when I arrived. I took off my shoes and jumped on top of him, then rolled over to my side of the bed.
He didnt budge though at the pain of me jumping on top of him.
"Dan?" I questioned.
"Mhm."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm okay. Just I could have lost you today."
I smiled a bit, knowing that I have someone who cares for me as deeply as he does is an amazing feeling. He turned his head over to look at me and smiled back. He also gave me a kiss on the forehead,
"When do you think were going to go back to George and them?" He randomly asked.
It then hit me that we have another group that doesnt know where we are. I never liked any of them but Dan. Andrew made me feel so uncomfortable, but Mason does too. Its not a big difference between those two boys. They would get along so perfectly. I sarcastically stated inside my head.
"Are you okay? Whats the matter with my group?" He responded.
I looked at him confussed, "What do you mean?"
"The look on your face says it all."
Slowly, my face began to sulk. I didnt know if it was a good time to tell Dan about Andrew yet.
"Megan, you can tell me." He insisted, putting his hand on my chin and lifting it up to look at his beautiful blue eyes.
I think it was a good time to tel him, right? I mean were miles from his camp. He couldnt do anything to harm Andrew.
I cleared my throat as I started to go on about what happened that day and what Andrew did.
Dans facial expressions soon changed to anger when I told him that Andrew had hurt me.
"Why didnt you tell me sooner." He questioned gritting his teeth together.
"Thats why." I said as I pointed out his anger.
His eyes scurried around the room, looking for answers on how and why Andrew would do that.
"If we get back, I'm going to kick his ass." He smiled over at me pretending not to be mad.
"Dan! You cant let him know that you know! What if he tries to hurt me again?" I yelled nervously.
"Dont be nervous, he wont even know what hit him." He turned his body to face away from me and fell asleep instantly.
