Team Family (Richonne)

Ch 25: the labyrinth

Rick's P.O.V

As we approached Jolene's house, I knew all hell was about to break loose.

I don't know what my sons have to do with her, but oh so help me god, If she did anything and I mean anything to hurt them, I'll end it. I'll end her, I'll end it all.

Wait, what am I saying..?

Michonne grabbed my hand and we pushed down her small trail way, leading to her old beat down trailer, and banged on the door 4 times.

I stood there, awkwardly staring  at my family. I felt so nervous, I don't know why I'm here again. This place ain't nothing but bad news, but boy will she be happy to see me again.

Jolene answered the door but kept her screen door closed, and when she saw our faces she anxiously locked it.

"What do you fuckers want?" she asked evilly

Michonne laughed and bit her tongue I could tell, "Nothing from you. Just here to talk to a 'Tyler'." Michonne said, in the calmest voice ever.

She either was taking this well or she was on the verge of punching through Jolene's screen door.

"Why?" Jolene jarred

She looked me in the eyes and brushed her hair behind her ear, where we could see all the visible bruises on the side of her face.

"Listen, I don't care for your stank attitude-- If anyone should have an attitude it should be me! You drugged and raped my-- my husband you sick, sick woman and you can't even keep an eye on your druggie child." Michonne exclaimed

She pulled her fingers down her face and faked a smi--
wait

did Michonne just call me her husband?

"I don't give a shit about what you and your little naive, cliche family thinks, stay the hell away from me or I'll have you out of hilltop quicker than you can say ruphynol." She grinned and tilted her head to the side, staring at me.

Jolene was creepy, and with bruises all over her face, it only made her even more creepier.

"No you stay away from us!" Michonne yelled.

And with that Jolene slammed the door so hard, I bet survivors in Asia could hear it.

She grabbed the boys and me and pushed us on, storming back to the house in her dark gray boots.

When we got in the house, she sent the boys to their room and she sat on our bed, contemplating everything.

"You okay?" I asked, gently sitting next to her.

"Not really. I'm so sick and tired of her and her shenanigans." she murmured

"I am too," I placed my arm around her waist, signaling for her to scoot  in closer.

"She'll get her due.. just give it time sweetheart."
"
Michonne exhaled a little louder, which was technically a silent giggle, and shook her head.

"I sure hope so.. but did you hear me back there?"

I poked out my bottom lip and raised my eyebrow, "you told her off!" I exclaimed

"Not that silly, --- well yeah, I did, but did you hear me accidentally call you my husband?"

"That was an accident?" I sighed

"yeah, not really though. I was going to say boyfriend but then I was like wait, we're not 15, and then I was going to call you my fiancee but then I panicked and called you my husband, not like you aren't  but- you know I just kinda froz--"

I cut her off with a long, passionate kiss. The kind that meant shut up, I love you.

She pulled away and she couldn't stop giggling.

"What?" I asked

Was it something I did? did I kiss her wrong?...damn it.

"How will I ever escape this labyrinth?" she  murmured, grabbing my hand and interlocking her fingers with mine.

"what labyrinth?"

"The labyrinth of falling in love with you over and over again."

I chuckled and kissed her soft brown hands, "Why escape it?"

"I'm not. I'm happy right where I am, right here in this labyrinth." she smiled at me and squeezed my hand tighter.

Right then, Jay snuck from around the corner and stumbled into our room.
"I heard the word labyrinth." He said

Michonne stared at him, narrowed eyes and puckered lips.

She's upset about them getting high, maybe a bit more than I was when I first found out, so he had better leave now or it's bye bye for him.

"Here let me tell you my favorite quote about the labyrinth, It was originally by Simon Bolivar but over written by John green,"

I didn't know who those people were but remember what I said, Jay's a smart kid believe it or not. So I bet this quote is correct.

"Damn it, he sighed. How will I ever get out of this labyrinth? So, what is the labyrinth? that's the mystery, isn't it? Is the labyrinth living  or dying? what is he trying to escape?! the world.... or the end of it?"
