All Life Is Precious

Chapter 4: Hugs and Sadness

When we got into town we got off the horse and made our way to a little store called Steve's Pharmacy. We checked to make sure that the store was walker free before we got our supplies. After that we started to get stuff. I headed towards the back and started grabbing things that would be needed, like medicine. Once I got all the supplies I headed back to the front of the store where Glenn was. When I got to the isle he was in he didn't notice me standing there.

"Find anything?" I asked, which startled him and he picked up a box and stood up.

"Uhh, yeah." He said. "Condoms?" I asked smiling. He nervously looked at the box and then around the store. "You got a girlfriend back at camp that your planning to do the do with?" I asked chuckling.

"Uh, no. Just you know uh, you never now when..." he trailed off. "Ha true. Well I think maybe we should head back now." I said smiling at Glenn. He still looked embarrassed, so I walked towards the door and headed towards the horse. It took a minute for Glenn to come back out, but I didn't question it. He walked over and hopped on the back of the horse, in front of me.

We took our time getting back to camp considering there were barely any walkers in our way. It was nice, just Glenn, the horse, and I. I liked it, it was peaceful. I just wish that it would always be like this, but nope. The world is too dangerous and loud now.

Soon enough we were close to camp. I decided to ask Glenn some things about the group. "So what is everyone here like?" I asked.

"Well Rick is pretty cool, along with Dale, Hershel, T-Dog, and Daryl. Carol is very nice, so is Maggie and Beth. Everyone is great... except for Shane. He's kind of a jackash."
" Huh... So what is your story." He glanced back at me with a questioning look. "You know like what your life was like, what was your job, or what did you I don't know did." I said while chuckling a little.
"Well there's nothing really interesting. Um I was originally from Michigan, but I decided to move here and um I delivered pizza.. I didn't really do anything, but play video games and read comics." He laughed a little at the end.
"Dude that is awesome haha, I basically had the same life as you, well minus Michigan and delivering pizza." I smiled at him and he turned aroundand smiled at me. When he looked at me I got this weird feeling inside my stomach, basically butterflies. I was really starting to like Glenn.
Pretty soon we were back at camp and Glenn took what we got to Rick and the others. I decided to go help the others with things that needed to be done.
Soon the day was over and it was now night. I had done laundry and cooking with Lori and Carol. I was never good at those two things, but I tried to help as much as I could. Right now the whole group, not including Daryl, Glenn, and Hershel's family, was gathered around the camp fire (singing the camp fire song;3).
I was sitting between Carol and Carl. Don't get me wrong I love the two, but it was quit boring. Everyone was in their own conversations. I just sat there with my knees up to my chest. I glanced over in the direction of where Daryl's little camp was. He was sitting all alone, with a little fire going while he was playing with the strap of his crossbow. Since no one really cared if I was there, I decided to go over and sit with Daryl.
I was now at Daryl's camp! He barley glanced at me then looked back into the fire.
"What are ya doin' girl, I thought I told you to leave me alone." He said calmly. It was true he did tell me that.
"Well I felt lonley over there and you looked lonley over here, so I thought 'Hey let's have a lonley party." I said while sitting down and smiling at him. He just looked at me and said, "Whatever.."
He didn't seem like the conversation type considering he didn't talk to me last time. After a moment of silence I decided to try and talk with him.
"So what did you do before all this." I asked. He looked up at me slightly confused.
"Why do you want to now?"
"Because I want to know more about you."
He lauhed a little, "Like you care."
"I do care, Daryl. I mean I've only known you for a day or two, but if you haven't noticed, I don't really get along with most of the people here, except for maybe Glenn. You seem like you had it tough and I want to be your friend or even just an acquaintance."
He looked down and sat there for a minute before saying, "I wasn't anything before the world went to shirt (A/N: I don't cuss). I just follwed my brother Merle around."
He looked back up at me and I smiled. He almost smiled, but he kind of pushed it back.
"You know what. You need a hug." He raised an eyebrow and moved back a little. "You need a big bone crushing hug Mr. Tough guy."
Daryl tried to stand up, but before he could I tackled him into the biggest hug I could give. He tensed up and tried to pry me off, but I clung on to him. After a while I let go, smiled, and walk away to Glenn's tent.
When I got in the tent Glenn wasn't there. It was kind of cold and I didn't have a jacket, so I took the blue jacket in the corner of the tent and put it on. As I was getting ready to go to sleep, I started to think.

What if Glenn has feelings for someone else?
What if no one here likes me?
What if Glenn doesn't like me?
What if-

My thoughts were interrupted as the tent door opened. It was Glenn, coming in with a huge smile on his face. His hair was a mess. I got really curious.
"Why are you so happy?" He looked at me nervously.
"What do you mean? I'm always happy." He said while still smiling.
"Not this happy. Spill it Rhee." He sat down and stalled a little.
"Come on Glenn we haven't got all night." I said smiling. He shifted a little and smiled at the growned.
"Well you now how I got condoms?.." I nodded. "Well Maggie found them in my bag and we.. kind of.. you know." When he said that the smile faded from my face, but I put it back on when he looked at me.
"Oh my gosh really haha. I knew you had something with the farmer's daughter." I fakley laughed while he blushed a little. He looked down at me.
"Hey isn't that my jacket?" He said pointing at what I was wearing.
"It's mine now." I said while laying down and turning the opposite way, not facing him. I felt tears start to sting my eyes, I tried to blink them away.

I'm falling for Glenn Rhee...but he isn't falling for me..
