Angel

Chapter Nineteen: Angel

I thought I was going to die. Not from the walkers, but from my fear of heights. When Daryl said, we were going out the window I almost peed my pants. I had to go, but roofs, ladders, anything high up – I don't do. Never could.

We didn't have any other option. It was either die a horrible death by being eaten or figure out a way to climb down off the roof. How I did it? I don't know. It's all a blur that I'd rather not think about. It's done, and I didn't pass out from the fear, even though I was close.

Now once again, we are running for our lives. Finally, I had to beg him to stop. We had lost the small herd that was after us, so there was no reason to keep running like they were still on our heels. Plus, I needed to take care of a few things that couldn't wait.

"Daryl, I have to pee," I panted. All I got was a sneer him. This wasn't anything I could control, When you gotta go, you gotta go. "I'm going behind that tree in the yard. I need to grab the roll of toilet paper from the backpack."

He swung the pack off his shoulders and handed it to me. I could have sworn I heard a low growl from him. What was his problem? I grabbed the roll and squatted behind the tree. I heard him yell out "Can still see you." To which he got the middle finger of my right hand.

I think we were having a fight. I was clueless about why, but I think we were.

When I got back, I stored my precious small roll of toilet paper, before looking at him. "We need a plan."

"Just keep walkin'. What else?" he said with a sneer.

"Why are you being such a dick to me? Because I froze getting off the roof?" I spat at him. I didn't like his attitude at all.

He refused to look at me. Just kicked the dirt with his boot.

"Asshole," I mumbled under my breath.

That got him to finally look at me. "What the fuck are you doing?" he exclaimed.

"What does it look like? I'm finally putting my bra on. I didn't have time at the house, but I can't keep bouncing around. I need the support if we have to run again." I guess he was surprised to see that I took off my shirt and had my bra in my hand. So I was topless. There was no one around to see me except him, and he's seen the boobs before...up close and personal.

"What...what if someone sees you?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "I doubt anyone is around and if they do see me, so what. They get a free peek. Big deal."

He didn't take his eyes off me as I slowly put on the bra. Hell, I could get that thing on in seconds, but why not give him a thrill. At least it got him talking to me.

When I was dressed, I brought up the idea once again that we needed a plan. We did. I know where we needed to go, but we had to get there. And to do that we had to figure out where we were in the first place.

"Daryl, let's start checking cars to see if we can get any to run. And we need to figure out where we are. The town we need to find is Ashville, and we can't get there unless we know where we are. Should we check a house for mail or anything?"

"Yeah, you're right. There's a car in the next driveway that I can see if I can hotwire. Don't go in any house without me," he said.

Was he serious? He did he not realize I survived quite well on my own for years before I met him. "I can clear a house. You try the car, and I'll go inside to look for an address."
