Surviving The Walking Dead

Ch:13 Maggie, Sasha, and Bob

The bullet went into my left leg and I fell to the floor. I gripped in pain as Rick and Daryl took aim. Carl dragged me behind a car and put pressure on my wound. Daryl said "dont shoot". Then Rick asked "Maggie is that you"?

A woman answered and asked "Rick, Daryl"? She came out from behind a car and ran over to them. She gave them hugs then asked "where is Carl"? Carl popped out from behind the car. He said "why did you shoot Shelby"? She asked "who"? I crawled out from behind the car and said "hey".

She got down beside me and said "I'm so sorry". She put pressure on the wound and I screamed in pain. Daryl asked "are you alone". Maggie looked up and said "no". Then she screamed "Sasha, bob get out here". Just then a colored woman and man came out from behind the cars and ran over. Sasha gave Daryl and Rick a hug. Then she shook Carl's hand then looked at me.

She smiled and said "who's this"? Daryl spoke and said "she's with me. Her name is Shelby". Sasha said "hello". I smiled and said "hello". Then Bob came over and sat by me. He said "I am a medic, I helped injured soldiers in the army. I will take care of your leg". I smiled and said "thanks". Daryl sat down beside me and asked "are you ok honey"? I sarcastically said "I've never been better"!

Bob rolled up my left pant leg and examined the wound. He said "this doesnt look good". I looked at Daryl and I started to panic. Carl grabbed my hand and asked Bob "whats wrong". Bob looked at us and said "the bullet is still inside of the leg. I need to get it out or it will get seriously infected". I looked and said "if we dont get it out then it will have to be cut off". Bob said "exactly".

Daryl got up and worriedly screamed "well we gotta get it outta her". Bob said "I need something to get the bullet out with. I asked "would a knife work". He said "yes, but I dont have one". I handed him my knife and said "here use this". He cleaned it off and said "well we will need more medical supplies".

I looked over at Carl and said "give him my backpack". Carl handed over the backpack and Bob got out all the medical stuff. He said "this will do". He poured a tiny bit of disinfectant on the knife to sterilize it. He said "do you want to have it done here or inside"? Daryl looked at me and said "it will be safer inside".

I said "ok lets go inside then. I was about to get up, but Darl picked me up and carried me inside an old woodbery house. When we got inside he laid me down on the couch. The rest of the group entered and cleared out the house. After the house was safe they all came and sat in the living room.

Daryl sat on one side of me and Carl sat on the other side of me. I grabbed onto both of their hands and squeezed. Daryl handed me his bandana again and told me to bite down on it. Bob said "ok here I go".

He dug my knife into the hole and I screamed. Daryl wrapped his arm around me to hold me down. Bob said "I can see the bullet, I just need to scrape it out". Carl looked at me and said "it's ok, it will be over soon". Daryl said "your doing great ass kicker, just a little bit longer". As Bob got deeper  I screamed and cried more and more. The pain was to much for me to handle so I passed out.

When I woke up Bob was in the middle of wrapping my leg up. Bob looked at me and said "your gonna be ok, I got the bullet out". I smiled and said "Thank you so much". He smiled and said " just doing my job". I looked around and asked "where is everybody else"? He said "Maggie is upstairs, Sasha is in the kitchen, Rick and Daryl are looking around woodbery, and Carl is in the backyard".

I tried to stand up, but Bob gently pushed me down again. He said 'you need to keep off this leg for a few more hours. Let it heal". I asked "could you please get Carl"? He said "sure sweetie, but let me finish wrapping up your leg first".

After he finished wrapping it up he got out the tape and wrapped the tape around the gauze. He said "I also looked at the cut on your arm. I cleaned it out and switched the gauze". I smiled and said "thank you". He smiled and got up. He said "I will go get Carl now". He walked through the kitchen and opened the door to go outside.

A few seonds later Carl came running and and came over to me. He grabbed me and brought my face to his. He kissed me and said "I'm so glad that your ok". I hugged him and said "I am too". I kissed him back and asked "so earlier did you mean it when you called me your girlfriend"? He smiled and said "yeah, I meant it". I smiled and kissed him again.

As we kissed Rick and Daryl came into the house through the backyard. We stopped kissing right before they came into the livingroom where we were. Daryl walked over and asked "how are you feeling"? I said "good, But I feel like a baby for screaming, crying, and passing out". Daryl said "I would have done the same". I laughed and said "I doubt it". Daryl laughed and said "no, I'm serious".

I smiled and Rick sat down next to me. He said "you were really brave, even if you were crying and screaming". I said "thanks Rick". He got close to me and whispered in my ear "you and Carl make a cute couple". I smiled and said "yes we do".

Maggie came running down the stairs and walked over to me. She said "I am so sorry, it's all my fault". I said "it's ok, it was an accident". Rick looked over at Maggie and asked "are you ok"? She said "I just cant believe that my daddy is dead". I remembered the old guy with the white beard that got his head chopped off. I grabbed onto her hand and said "I'm sorry about your dad. I know how you feel".

Maggie said "no you dont, I watched my dad die". I sat up then I stood up. I walked close to her and everybody rushed in, including Sasha. Daryl held me back and said "cool it". I said "no". I looked at Maggie and said "I do know how you feel". Maggie said "no you dont, you never will". She started to cry and walked after me. Rick grabbed ahole of her and said "Maggie enough".

We looked at eachother still being restrained by Rick and Daryl. I looked into Maggie's eyes and I said "I do know how you feel. You have it so much better off than me. I had to watch my family get eaten, then I had to kill them all. I killed my mom, brother, and my dad. So dont you tell me that I dont know how you feel because I feel a lot worse than you".

I started to cry and I let my knees hit the floor. I bent down and cried into the floor. Daryl grabbed me and held me. I cried into his shoulder and couldnt stop. Maggie said "I'm sorry, I had no idea". I stopped crying because I need to stay brave.I wiped my eyes on my arm and looked at Maggie. I said "it's ok, but next time dont tell me I dont know or feel something because I clearly do.

Daryl let me go as I got up. I walked over to Maggie and I gave her a hug. She knelt down and hugged me back. I said "I'm sorry about your dad". She said "I'm sorry about your family". Bob came over and told me to go sit down again. I limped over to the couch as my adreniline cooled down.

Daryl asked "you ok". I smiled and said "yep". Carl sat next to me and held me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his and smiled. Everybody calmed down and found a place to rest in the livingroom. Daryl fell asleep next to me on the couch. Rick slept on a small recliner next to the couch. Sasha and Bob fell asleep on a rug by the door. Maggie fell asleep against a wall.

I looked up at Carl and kissed his cheek. I smiled and said "I'm glad your my boyfriend". He kissed my lips then said "And I'm glad your my girlfriend". Daryl and Rick werent fully asleep yet because I was them both smiled with there eyes still closed at the comments Me and Carl exchanged.  I soon fell asleep on Carl and he fell asleep holding me in his arms.
