burning love

Chapter 12- Roomates

Bella's POV:

We all followed Genner out of the Blood lab and down a narrow hallway. We walked onto a room with a big round table and and counters stalked piled with food along with a stove and fridge, things we hadn't seen in a while. We all sat down at the table. "Dinner's on me. Anyone want some champagne?" Genner asked holding up a bottle of wine. I sat down between Daryl and Glenn, and across from Shane who was eyeing me up and down making me shift in my seat uncomfortably and causing him to smirk. I looked away when Daryl set a plate of food down in front of me. "Eat girl, you look like you just came out of the Holocaust. " He said. I looked down at the contents of my plate, stake, green beans, mashed potatoes, and gravy, with a glass of wine, and a side dish of cherry pie. I looked at my mom and Sofia who looked uncomfortable. I picked up my fork and started eating my stake while dipping it in a Sweet Baby Ray's sauce. I savored the taste as it went down my throat. I took a sip of wine and felt my stomach twist. The wine tasted dry. I put my glass back down. I looked over at Daryl who had already ate most of his plate and saw he had a beer instead of wine. I pointed at my glass and made a face. He stifled a laugh. Daryl got up and grabbed my glass and took it to the sink and dumped it out sitting it in the sink. He opened up the fridge and grabbed a bottle of beer and walked over and handed it to me. I popped the lid off and almost took a drink when I felt someone staring at me. I looked up to see my mom giving me a stern yet disappointed look. Probably cause my dad drank and was a dick when he did, but i'm not him. I held the glass up to her in a smartass gesture and chugged a big gulp, letting the liquid sting my throat as it went down. "Alright everybody let me show you were you will be sleeping and such." Genner said standing up and walking to the door we came in at. We walked down the hall and grabbed our bags as we made our way past the blood lab. "This is the hallway you will be sleeping in, because their is a large amount of you you'll have to share rooms. Their is a rec room at the end of the hallway for the kids to play in don't plug in any of the video games. Oh and don't use all the hot water." We all turned around and looked at each other as Genner walked away. "Alright lets decide rooming situations. Me, Carl, ands Lori will take a room. Dale and Andrea. Glenn and T-dog. Carol and Sofia. That leaves three. Bella who do you want to room with." Rick asked. I weighed my options. I could sleep in the same room as Shane that made me uncomfortable or I can sleep in the same room as Daryl, who's nose I broke and still needs to get cleaned up. "I will room with..........Daryl?" I asked looking at Daryl. Daryl looked at Shane who had been eyeing me the entire time and gave Rick a short nod. We all claimed our rooms. Me and Daryl walked to the room at the beginning of the hallway. I opened the door and walked in taking in my surroundings. Their was one bed and a couch. A TV and and plants, with the bathroom off to the left, ands a small closet by the bathroom. A dresser by the on the opposite wall of the couch. I set my bag down on the floor. I walked in sitting down on the couch. " I'll take a shower first while you put your stuff away. " Daryl said rummaging through his bag for some clean clothes. I picked my bag up and walked over to the dresser and started putting my clothes away I put my tennis shoes in the closet and pulled my combat boots of and let them join my other shoes. I gathered my clothes for after my shower and sat on the bed. Daryl walked out with a new set of clean clothes on and laid down on the couch with exhaustion clearly written on his face. I walked into the steamy bathroom and closed the door behind me. Their was shampoo and conditioner on the counter and deodorant and a brush, and some toothpaste and tooth brushes. I saw a green toothbrush on the counter and the toothpaste opening seeing that Daryl had used some. I cleared the steam from the mirror and looked at myself. I had blood and dirt caked to me. I peeled my dirty clothes off of me and started the shower. I jumped in savoring the feeling of the hot water as it trickled down may body taking dirt and blood with it. I grabbed the shampoo and washed my hair, along with the conditioner. I tried to reach for the razor on the shelf only to fall. My face met the ground as I fell, I hit the ground with a thud. "Bella let me in or I'm breaking the door down." Daryl yelled over the water, as he violently shook the handle of the door. I weakly reached feeling a searing pain in my shoulder from were I landed on it. I unlocked the door. Daryl barged in. I looked up feeling my face heat up with embarrassment as I realized I had nothing covering me. Daryl Walked over and shut the water off as he handed me a towel. I don't know what came over me I just started crying. Daryl walked over and hugged me helping me stand to my feet. I stood up and sat on the counter. "You make this impossible." I say still crying my eyes burning from tears. "What, what did I do?" Daryl asked confused. " How am I suppose to die when you keep caring you make this hard. I can't live anymore. I want to go I've had this planned till you came along." I stated frustrated. Daryl growled in frustration and walked away leaving me there. I jumped off the counter and finished my shower and got changed. I walked out of the bathroom with my dirty laundry. I saw Daryl laying on the bed. I walked by and threw my clothes away. I walked to the door and was almost out till Daryl spoke up. "Where ya goin." Daryl asked. "To get a book don't strain yourself I'm not gonna kill myself." I said walking away. I walked into the wreck room to find no one there. I was looking through the books when the door behind me slammed shut. I jumped and squealed, turning around to find a drunk Shane. "Geesh don't scare me like that." I said watching him cautiously. I stumbled over to the couch with a book still a little drunk from my beers at dinner. Shane strolled over placing his beer on the table. He stood there staring at me for a minute. He grabbed the book from my hands and pushed me forcefully down on the couch, at first I was confused, but then I realized the look of lust in his eyes. Shane got on the couch straddling my waist. He grinded himself into me. I could feel him getting hard. "Shane stop get off of me please Shane stop." I tried pushing him off of me but he wouldn't budge. He slide his hand under the hem of my shirt, making his way up to my breast. I struggled and whimpered underneath him. He grouped my breast forcefully pushing them up and down. With his other hand, he put it in my underwear, rubbing me real hard making it hurt. "Stop Shane, stop Sha---" I was cut off by him forcefully being pulled off me. Daryl was on top of Shane about to punch him. "Daryl don't its not worth it I said." Daryl spat on his face and stood up and faced me. He picked me up bridal style and took me in our room. He laid me down on the couch and covered me up. He shut the light off and laid down on the bed. I quickly fell asleep.

******************************************

I awoke suddenly from a bad dream. I sat up screaming. I realized it was thundering outside and got scared. I went over to the bed. I shook Daryl awake. "Daryl wake up please I'm scared." I said crying. "What's wrong." He asked sitting up. "I had a bad dream and I don't like thunder." Daryl lifted the blankets for me to crawl under. I curled myself into his side and let him put his arm over me. I felt so safe in that moment. "Daryl I don't wanna die." I said. I could feel him tense up knowing that he heard me I fell asleep, for the second time that night. The difference being was that I was safe and in..................... Daryl Dixon's arms.
