For You // R.G.

Chapter 28

"Are you okay?" Rick asked me as I walked with Sena over to where the group buried Dale. Sena gave Rick a dirty look and Rick looked at me, waiting for my answer

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because of- you know... Last night?"

"About Dale?"

He paused, knowing I was getting him frustrated, I smiled a little but I quickly hid it when he looked at me.

"I mean our talk." He whispered. I rolled my eyes, I gave Sena a look to keep walking. I turned to face Rick.

"Stop with the games, you either want to get together or not, I'm not being your booty call and I'm not being the mistress. I'm going to be your number one and only one if we get together." I tell it to him straight,

"Max, you gotta understand I'm married. I have to find a way to explain to Carl and to keep things civil in the group." Rick reasoned.

"Then I guess not, maybe in another life." I say. I then walk away from him.

At the grave, we all surrounded it with our heads bowed, Hershel was giving some kind of memorial speech, I glanced up at Rick who was looking at me, he looked away.

He then started to talk to the group, saying that we have to prepare for the winter and choose to let Randall go, for dale's honor. We all worked that day, picking the woods off of walkers, enforcing the fences, stocking up on wood. I watched as Rick hit a walker with a shovel, it fell back and he stabbed it with his shovel point. He looked at me

"Go find T-Dog and see how Randall's doing, I plan on going out at noon." He says, I give him my shovel, I walk away back to the farm. 

When I saw the shed that Randall was in, I saw T standing there, he then saw me and rushed over.

"The sonuva bitch got out!" He says, I look at the doors and see one open. I then get my gun out of my belt.

"T, go get everyone-"

"Hey- guys!" We both look behind, we see Shane emerging from the woods with blood on his face.

"Shane, Randall got out!" I say

"I know- the bitch punched me in the face... Took my gun- he's armed and he's out there." Shane yelled. He started getting other's attentions from yelling. He then looked at me,

"Max, help me find him, T Dog, you go get everyone inside, lock the doors and get Rick and the others- tell Rick I'm out there finding Randall." Shane ordered. T nodded and ran to find everyone. Shane and I started to walk into the woods

"We should get you a gun before we leave-"

He turns around and shoves me against the tree, he puts a hand over my mouth, letting me not scream. He has this crazed look in his eyes that tells me he could kill me. I breathe quickly, scared that I won't live for another day.

"You're going to come with me, and you're not going to try to leave because then you'll lose your legs." He says with a threatening voice. I believed him, he looked insane. He then punched me so hard I blacked out.

..

Rick's POV

"He got out?!" I asked, I dropped my shovel, I then yelled at the others to go to the farm and stay inside. I walked back with T, getting more information about what happened

"Shane's out with Max lookin' for him."
I froze when I heard those words escape his mouth. I got my gun out and started to run

"Where did they go?" I asked, he caught up to me,
