Losing my mind

8. The barns on fire

We had a little memorial for Dale, Rick said a few words about him.

Hershel wanted us to move into the house, it was getting close to winter and it was cold. Plus Lori is pregnant, she needs somewhere to sleep instead of the ground.

I was putting all my shit into a bag when I saw a pack of cigarettes, I took them into my hand and inspected them.

*flasback before the outbreak*

I was walking down the street, kicking Little Rock's in my way with my torn up converse. Next to me was my good friend, he was always there for me.

We were like brothers.

"Hey man, did you get cigarettes from your old man?" I asked Weston, my friend.

"Yeah, just so you know, if he finds out my ass is toast" Weston states

Weston searches in his pocket for the cigarettes.

"Here, you owe me a beer or two" he says

"Yeah, yeah" I murmur

We sit on the side walk and I light the cigarette.

"How are your cuts healing?" He asked and pointed to my back

"Fine" I said "you don't have to worry bout me"

"But that's what I do, I'm not that tough son of a bitch, I don't have walls that takes 10 years to break down. I worry, that's me" he said

I looked him in the eyes, I threw my cigarette on the ground.

I looked back at him and right when I did my lips were locked onto his.

I was taken back by it, I've never been kissed by someone.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds before we pulled apart.

He looked a me and tried to read my feelings. I couldn't help it, I couldn't control myself. I roughly pushed my lips on to his.

I've never felt this way before.

*flashback ends*

I quickly put the cigarette pack away and stuffed the rest of my stuff into the bag.

I walked out of the tent and carried my bag into the house.

I found Glenn

"You sleeping with Maggie" I ask while raising my eyebrow

"Stop" he nudged me "I don't know"

"The men are in that room" Lori said pointing towards a room

"Oh great I get to share a fucking room with Shane" I said "I don't mind you or T-dog"

"I think I might stay with Maggie" he said

"Don't be to loud at night" I said

He blushed

"I love Messing with you, sugar ass"

"Hey I thought we agreed that you don't call me that" he said

"I don't remember that" I shrugged then went to go help bring more shit in.

I needed to hunt so we could have enough food over the winter, Daryl was busy so I went.

I was tracking some footsteps, they didn't look like walkers either.
