"Fuck" I mumble
"Watch your mouth" Dad says
"I'm an adult. I can make my own decisions"
"Then you should have the brains to choose who you're staying with"
"Just think about it. Please" I say with my voice breaking and I turn to walk away.

I walked to Lori out in the field, cutting carrots. I knew she was watching me earlier today and I needed to talk to her.
"Hey" I said and crouched in front of her
"Hi" she replies and continues to cut carrots
"I just want to clarify where we stand"
"You told Rick I was with Shane"
"How would you know it's me?"
"You like him. Always talking to him and he loves to go on about you. You're trying to tear us apart"
"I-I stopped him from making a move on me"
"Why? You know you want to"
"Two wrongs doesn't make a right"
"That was the past"
"What I said was in the past"
"The point was. That was my information to share"
"But it's done now. You fucked him and I told Rick. Get over it" I say slamming my hands on the makeshift table she was using and stood up "it's over now. Can't change that. You need to worry about whose baby is in your stomach" I say before leaving her, I walk past Carl and he stops me.
"Do you think we'll find Sophia?" He asks as he stands up
I take a deep breath and look back at Lori, she wasn't paying attention.
"I hope so"
"Do you think we could stay here? Make it home?"
"I hope so"
"You have a lot of hope"
"I do" I say with a smile
"Carl, can you come here real quick!" Lori calls and I look to her. She keeps a gentle and warm expression on her face while I roll my eyes.
"See you later" Carl says as he runs off to go 'talk' to Lori.
I wandered around off to somewhere that was away from everyone else. Everyone has things to do and I didn't even want to talk to anyone. I wanted to just take a break and be alone. Either way, everyone had someone around here but me.

Later in the day, I found myself on the porch. Maggie and Glenn sitting on the steps, talking quietly. Patricia, Beth and Carl all sat together. I saw Andrea and T-dog walk towards up.
"Where is everyone?" Andrea asked
"You haven't seen Rick?" Glenn asks back
"He went off with Hershel. We were supposed to leave hours ago" Andrea responds
"Yeah you were" Daryl says walking with Carol "what the hell?"
"Rick told us he was going out" Carol says trying to catch up with Daryl
"Damn it, isn't anybody taking this seriously" Daryl says frustrated "we got us a damn trail" he says swinging his arm along with his body "here we go" he says relived and Shane is walking to us with a bag full of guns and one in his hand.
"What's all this?" I ask standing up and leaning over the porch railing
"You with me, man?" He asks Daryl, ignoring me completely and Daryl takes the gun "time to grow up. You already got yours?" He asked Andrea
