The Dixons And Me - The Walking Dead FanFiction

Chapter Forty Three

Sam's POV

Everyone came outside, smiling as we finally felt safe...Finally found a home. The only problem was there still walkers banging against the fence, they were still there and they always would be. Rick told us that back at the CDC, Jenner told him that we carry the disease, wether you get bit or die of natural causes, you will turn into one of them.

I watched as Gavin, Daryl, Glenn and Rick went on the other side of the fence, another fence protected them from the walkers. Judging from Daryl roughly shaking the fence they were checking to see how stable it was.

Hershel hobbled around a little and Carl stood next to him.

"How you feeling Hershel?" He asks.

Hershel gives a laugh and turns to him.

"Give me a few days and I'll be beating you in a race."

I walk over to Hershel and sigh.

"Hershel...Ab-."

"I don't want to hear it Sam. I'm a holy man. I believe that God created men and women for them to be together. Not for men to be together. Not for women to be together. The Bible says that being a...A gay is wrong. I'm sorry, but I'm not allowing you to be with my daughter." He says sternly but gently.

I shake my head and run a hand through my hair.

"Ya know something Hershel? The Bible is a book of lies. God didn't write it no matter what you say or think. A billion years ago some men said they heard from God, bullshit. God loves everyone. He says he hates gay people, yet he says he loves all his children. He's contradicting himself. It's bullshit. I love Beth. We might still be young but this is the first time I've felt something so special, with someone. Not you, not the walkers not anyone will make me stop loving her or stop being with her. I'm sorry, but that's how it's going to be." I snap at him.

He stands up straighter, making himself seem big.

"I suggest you listen to me Sam, stay away from my daughter." He warns before hopping away.

As much as I love Beth, I don't want her to fall out with her father...Maybe us not being together is for the best.

"Hershel, wait." I shout jogging to catch up with him.

"What now Sam?" He sighs.

"I won't stay away from Beth, but...I don't want her to fall out with you.' I pause and look away, not sure if I want to do this. "Look, I love Beth but I don't want to damage your relationship with her...So I won't be with her, only if we can still be friends."

Hershel smiles and nods his head.

"I can agree to that."

I look around and see Beth looking at us, I look back at Hershel who nods his head and then hops away.

I slowly walk over to Beth and she walks over to me a smile on her face.

"Hi." She smiles trying to wrap her arms around my neck, I gently push them away and she gives me a confused look.

"I..I can't be with you Beth..."

"What? Why?" She asks narrowing her eyes.

"I don't love you like that, what I said and what I did...It was in the heat of the moment...You was there and after everything I wanted to feel something." I say not looking at her.

"It was my Dad wasn't it? He told you that he doesn't support this kinda stuff." She growls putting her hands into a fist.

"No, no...This is all me." I say quickly looking up.

"Then look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me." She snaps.

I feel a lump form in my throat, and I look away I can't do this. I just can't. This will break me but I have to.

I look back and see her green eyes filled with sadness.

"I don't love you. I never have." I say with no expression.

She let's out a shaky breath and her eyes begin to water. I look away as the tears begin to fall. All I want to do is take her into my arms and hold her, kiss her...But I can't because I fucked up.

"WALKERS!!" Carl yells.

I look around and see walkers coming from every direction.

Hershel hobbles over quickly and I see a fenced area.

I quickly grab Beth's arm and pull her in there.

I run over to Hershel and help him get in there quickly, I slam the gate shut and turn around, only to be met with two walkers stumbling towards me.

"Shit." I hiss and grab my knife and run to the closest walker and sink my knife into it's skull.

"LORI! CARL!" I hear Rick yell.

"ELLIE!!! SAM!!" Daryl yells.

I back away from the approaching walker and turn around, Carl, Ellie, Maggie and Lori run inside. They made it.

I turn back around and run to the other enterance, taking out walkers as I go.

I turn around the corner and let out a gasp. Big mistake. A walker jumps out in front of me and I let out a little scream, it goes to grab me but I push it away, it's rotten hand grabs my locket's chain and rips it away from my neck.

"Bastard." I hiss as I quickly stab it.

There's no time to pick it up, my eyes lock on to fence and I gasp.

"You got to be fucking kidding me!!"

The fence has broken through and about twenty walkers have spotted me. I run to the nearest door and try and open it. It doesn't open. I pull as hard as I can, but it just doesn't fucking open.

"Fuck it." I hiss and grab my gun and shoot the handle. I try again and the door opens. I pull it quickly and run inside.

I've ended up in another cell block.

Walkers follow close behind so I have to act fast.

I run towards the door leading out into the hall and try and open it, it's locked.

"ARE ANY OF THESE FUCKING DOORS UNLOCKED!?! FUCK SAKE!!" I yell in fustration.

I look back to the door I entered through and the walkers pile in.

I'm trapped.

I run to a cell and slam the cell door shut.

I un buckle my belt and tie it around the bars so it doesn't open.

I sit down on the floor, my back pressed against the cell wall, I watch as the walkers growl and push against the cell. Their arms reaching through.

I check how many bullets I have left and see I only have one.

"Really?" I growl.

My breathing slows down, and I stand up quickly, feeling anger rush through me. I'm not staying here.

I reach for my knife but the room starts spinning. I hold my hands and groan.

"Wh...What's happening?" I whispers, my breathing picking up the pace again. My heart hammering.

If it gets any faster it will jump out of my chest.

My eyes slowly close and I fall to ground. I feel a sharp pain on the side of my head. I bring my hand up and barely manage open my eyes to see blood.

My eyes close again and darkness surrounds me as the walkers growls are the last thing that I hear.
