I Can't Put My finger On It, But You're The One.

17. The Decision

Rosabeth's POV

Shane says that he doesn't think Rick can keep Lori, Carl, and the baby safe. I look at him and scoff. They start fighting and I grab Shane after a few minutes. He turns and punches me in the jaw and I taste blood.

I stumble and steady myself before yelling at them to knock it off. They keep fighting and I try to stop it several times getting hit in the face and leg. I see Shane grab his gun and then Rick tackle him. They stop and Rick yells at Shane a little and Shane grabs a tool and chucks it at Rick and I'm behind him by the window. Rick moves and I get hit in the stomach and smash the window.

I move after hearing walkers. Rick gets caught by one and I kill if for him. Walkers flow out of the window and Rick grabs me and huddles me with him under the dead walker to mask our smell. It works and they go to Shane. They go after Shane and me and Rick have some walkers behind us. We run and Rick trips on a car and falls I fall with him. We crawl and I go for my knife but can't get it because a walker is on me. I kill it and kill another and Rick kills three. We get up and walk to Randall.

I ready my bow and Rick grabs him. Rick asks where Randall thinks he's going and Randall mumbles something. We see Shane on a bus and we walk away. He did this to himself, but we can't leave him. We walk more and see the dead walkers we killed. We get in the car and go get Shane with me driving. We all are panting and sweating. We stop a while and put Randall in the trunk with everything back on him. Rick and Shane talk some more at the back of the car. Shane is crazy. I don't trust him at all. I get out and get in the back seat. I lay down telling them I'll take a nap. They tell me to go ahead and I close my eyes.

I wake up and see that we are back and someone carrying me. I look up and see Rick and act like I'm asleep again.

"Is she alright? She's bleeding, what happened?" I hear someone ask. Glenn.
"Yeah, just got hurt is all. She'll be fine she is just taking a nap. Didn't want to wake her." Rick says. I keep quiet and wait. I hear a door open and hear Rick ask someone if I can take a guest room. The person says yes and after a minute I feel Rick put me down. I snuggle into the bed and hear Rick about to leave.

"Wait, Rick?" I ask, reaching for his wrist. He looks back and smiles.

Rick's POV

After taking all of her weapons to her tent, I pick Rose up and close the car door with my foot. I walk up to Hershel's house and Glenn asks if she is okay. I tell him that she is taking a nap to help her injuries she got on the run. I walk in the house and ask Maggie if I can take Rose up to a guest room. She says yes and I go up and set her down on the bed. As I'm walking away Rose tells me to wait and grabs my wrist.

"Yeah?" I look back smiling. "Can you sit and rub my back? You don't have to, it's just my friend used to do it when I got hurt." She says blushing some. I laugh a little and sit down and rub her back. She smiles and closes her eyes.

"You know Rick, you remind me of someone." She says. I ask her who and she smiles sadly.

"My guy best friend. He would always be there for me and help me when I'm hurt. Physically and emotionally." She says. I continue to rub her back and after a while I hear her breaths even out. I smile, getting up and walking away.

Rosabeth's POV

~~Dream~~

I walk around and see that I'm at home. I hear running and turn around and see Sarah running towards me.

"Mommy!" She yells happily. I smile and pick her up. "Hey sweetheart, how are you?" I ask her walking to the living room and sitting on the couch.

"I'm good mommy, what are we going to do today?" She asks happily. I ask her what she wants to do and she says go to the park. After everything is packed we walk to the park and I get a call. I tell Sarah to run and play and she runs to the swings. After I finish my call I turn and see a walker and it bites Sarah.

~~Dream over~~

I wake up the next day, sweating and breathing heavy. I look around and cry because I don't know where Sarah is. I hope she is alright. I want her to be okay. I walk downstairs and walk out the house and to where Rick, Glenn, Shane, Carl, Andrea, Lori, and Carol are. I hear Lori ask what the plan is and Glenn asks if Randall is staying. Rick tells us we will know soon enough as Daryl approaches.

"Boy there's got a gang, 30 men. Got heavy artillery, they ain't looking to make friends. They roll through here, our boys are dead. Our women, they're gonna wish they were." Daryl explains. I cringe and look away. Someone asks what Daryl did and he says he had a little chat.

"No one goes near this guy." Rick states. Lori asks Rick what he's going to do.

"We have no choice. He's a threat. We have to eliminate the threat." Rick says, looking around. Dale asks if he's just going to kill Randall.

"It's settled. I'll do it today." Rick says walking away.
