Living with the Dead.(twd)

Truth Or Dare ? (158)

MADISON'S POV.
Carol knocks on the door and we all wait for somebody to answer it. When the door swings open Rick takes one glance at me and purses his lips to keep from laughing.
"I swear Rick, if you say one word about this i'll kill you."
"Come in." He chuckles.
We all make our way inside and stand in silence.

Rick finally speaks to break the silence. "So Beth forced you to wear t-"
I start for him but Carol pulls me back and my anger is only maximized.
"Your funeral Rick." Carol warns.

I struggle free from her grip and cross my arms stubbornly.
"Just tell me why i'm here so I can go and get this thing over with." I huff.
"I'm just reminding you it's not too late to back out."
"Jeez Rick what's he gonna do to me? I'm fine. When's the last time I gave up on something?" I ask.
He rolls his eyes and looks at me differently as if trying to pass on a secret message through glances.
"I know but under your circumstances, you might not want to do it." He hints.
I frown at first, not understanding, but when he quickly glances down at my stomach I realise he means my pregnancy.
"What circumstances?" Carol asks.

Now I realise why he was sending it to me in secret messages. Carol doesn't know along with most of the others in the group but i'm not ready to tell everyone yet. I don't want them to look at me differently or treat me differently.

"Her pancreatits. It's been giving her a rough time, hasn't it Mads?" Rick lies.
"Yeah... the,uh, the medicine has helped though, so the plan will go ahead as usual. I won't let this stop me from living my life." I say referring to something else.
Rick nods his head and Maggie looks away almost nervously.
"It's gonna be fine Maggie, it 'll be a piece of cake." I assure her.
"I know hun."
"Then why are you so nervous?"
She smiles. "I'll tell you another time. Lets concentrate on the plan." She suggests and I hesitantly nod.

"If anything does happen to go wrong we have a plan B." Rick tells us.
"Yeah Beth said that. What's plan B?" I ask.
Rick smirks. "You'll find out soon enough."
I sigh in frustration.
I quickly run upstairs and hide my bow and arrows and then make my way downstairs and open the front door.
"Lets just go get the damn keys." I say.
********************
When I step outside by myself to make my way to this party I realise I never asked Ron where it is. This community is pretty small so i'll be able to find it in a few minutes.

I waited at the porch for the first group of teenagers to pass and lead the way and of course it had to be the girls from Jenna's group. They walk past the house giggling to themselves over their stupid jokes while they wear barely any clothes.

I follow behind them and they lead the way but I end up passing Ron's house anyways. I try scrurry past it as quick as I can without anybody noticing but I should've remembered I have rotten luck.
"Madison? .... MADISON!" I turn to find Jessie smiling brightly and she waves to me.

I walk up to the bottom of their porch.
"Madison you look... wow."
I roll my eyes but thank her anyways.
"Sam is at his friends house so he can't tease Ron now."She chuckles and then speaks again before I can reply.
"Ron is on his way downstairs, he can walk you to the party." She amends.
She rushes inside for something and I wait outside.
"Super." I groan.
"Madison?" Ron calls from the doorway.
My head snaps in his direction and I catch him looking me up and down.
"My eyes are up here sunshine." I tease.
"You look-"
"Ridiculous, overdressed, uncomfortable, disgusting. Take your pick."
"I was gonna say unbelievable hot."
I scoff and then take a look at him.
"Well, you don't look too bad yourself." I tease and he blushes.
"Lets get going." He suggests.
"Wait, wait, wait !!!" A voice calls from inside.

We both turn to see Jessie running with a camera in her hand.
"We need a picture." She announces.
I back away with my hands up as if trying to defend myself.
"No no no, I don't do pictures, especially not in dresses." I say hastily.
