The Walking Love Story (The Walking Dead fanfic)

Chapter 37: Ryan

DARYS POV

"Thanks and yea ask Ryan how I flipped him over with one arm." Riley said laughing

I just looked at her and smiled."C'mon let's go." I said wrapping my arm around her shoulder and started to walk inside C. I opened the door for Riley and she walked inside smiling at me. "Hey Ryan." I said walking into the main room.

"Um yeah what's up?" Ryan said jogging out of his cell up to Riley and I.

"Oh nothing I was just curious on how your back feels after Riley flipped you over with one arm." I chuckled looking at Ryan and then at Riley who was also laughing.

"Shut up."Ryan said rolling his eyes.

"It's okay I know your a Marine but she was a Marine in training and she still kicked your ass!"I said

"Whatever." Ryan said turning around and storming back to his cell.

"Ryan come back." Riley said after him"Let me go talk to him."

"Okay see ya later." I said to her kissing her on the forehead and hugging her close to me before I left her go after Ryan.

BACK TO RILEYS POV

"Ryan come back." I said after him"Let me go talk to him."

"Okay see ya later." Daryl said kissing me on the forehead and hugging me close to him before he left me go after Ryan.

I ran down to Ryan's cell and opened the cell door and curtain blocking the entry way to his cell. "Ryan please wait." I said to him

"Just leave me alone." Ryan said turning away from me

"Wait did I do this time?" I said putting my hand on my forehead.

"It's just...just...just..."Ryan said before collapsing to the ground

"Ryan? Ryan? Ryan wake up! Come on buddy wake up! Please....please wake up." I said crouching down next to him and shaking him slightly "Please wake up." I said as tears slid down my face.

"Hershel! Hershel come quick!" I hollered as footsteps came running down the room.

"What's wrong?" Hershel said walking inside the cell.

"I was talking to him and then he went to say something and then then then." I said trailing off

"Then what?" Hershel asked

"Then he collapsed." I said still holding Ryan's hand

"Okay run down to my cell and get the gerny we need to get him on it and off the floor." Hershel said as I stood up and ran to get the gerny.

"Okay here." I said pulling it inside

"Okay grab his head and his arms and help me lift him up on to the gerny." Hershel said

"Okay is he alright what's wrong with him?" I asked once helping Hershel lift him up

"He has a high fever and his system is starting to fail I don't know what from but he needs blood transfusion he is losing a lot of blood now from his mouth and nose. We have to hurry up or we might lose him." Hershel said as Ryan coughed up a lot of blood

"Where are we gonna take him?" I asked

"We'll take him to F where the other infected people." Hershel said

Once inside F we rolled the gerny inside a cell and laid Ryan on the bed. He was covered in blood Hershel and I were covered in blood as well.

"Riley he needs blood I think we have some in the doctoring cell." Hershel said

"You'll never make it!" I said as tears threatened to fall down my face but I kept them at bay

"I have to try he won't make it if I don't." Hershel said standing and began walking out of the cell.

"Wait...." I said and Hershel turned around and looked at me "I'll do it." I said looking away from Hershel and back at Ryan.

"You'll wait?" He asked

"Give the blood.....take it from me." I said rolling up my sleeve

"You sure?" he asked

"Positive....he won't make it for sure if you don't take it from me." I said looking at him and Ryan

"Okay wait here"Hershel said leaving but returning a few seconds afterwards with needles, a bag, and a couple tubes. "Here hold still." he said pushing a needle into Ryan and I which had a tube connecting to them

"Okay that's about all we can take from you for now without you getting sick." Hershel said after taking two pints of blood from me.

"I'm just glad I could help." I said wiping the blood off of Ryan's face with a damp wash cloth.

"He should be okay he should have enough blood to help restore what he lost." He said walking outside of the cell

"Wake up Ryan please." I said

"You need to get some rest." Hershel said walking back in

"No!" I said sternly "I'm not leaving him."

"Fine I'll bring in a chair for you." He said leaving once more before returning with a chair. "Here now please get some rest."

"Thanks." I said as Hershel left and walked toward his own cell in F. "I'm here Ryan I'm here...I'm not leaving you...I'm right here buddy." I said grabbing his hand and holding it against my forehead as I leaned it against it. "I'm right here." Were the last words I said before falling asleep.

~~~~

"Riley?" Ryan said waking me up the next morning I was still holding his hand in the same position I was in when I fell asleep that night.

"Ryan your up." I said smiling

"Yeah what happened where am I?" Ryan asked

"Your in cell block F you were gonna say something last night and you collapsed you then were choking on your own blood and where losing a lot of it out your mouth and nose and I had to give you a blood transfusion because by the time Hershel made it back you would have been dead." I told him softly

"Oh wow....um thanks I don't know what to say...how much blood did you give to me?"Ryan asked

"Two pints." I said

"Oh my that's a lot I'm surprised you didn't pass out." he said trying to sit up and grabbing his stomach in a motion to throw up after doing so.

"Shhshhshh no buddy lay back down your not strong enough."I said softly

"Your right wow I don't feel good at all." He said noticing I was holding his hand."Hey that's nice."

I rolled my eyes and smiled "I'll he right back okay I'm gonna go get you some soup that Hershel made for all the sick people in here." I said

"Oh my gosh Riley your gonna get sick you need to get out of here!" He said wide eyed

"No it's okay Hershel said since I was already sick and really wasn't sick that I'm immune so I could be in here with you." I told him

"Oh well what about Daryl?" Ryan asked

"He's on a run I was gonna go but Hershel stopped me by saying I wasn't ready to go yet since I still have my stitches. So I stayed and then you got sick after ward and I haven't left your side."I told him

"Thanks." He said smiling

"I'll be right back I gotta go to the kitchen and get you that soup." I said standing up

"NO!" Ryan said gripping my hand tighter

"Hmm I'll be right back okay." I said smiling at him

"Promise." He said

"Promise." I said kissing him on the forehead and walking out of the room.
