5. THE FARM
maggie:
beth:
hershel:
~~~~~~~"no! ash!" i yelled as i ran up to her and scooped her up in my arms.
almost immediately we were met with a man.
"what the fuck did you do?" Rosita yelled while lunging at him.
Oliver stopped her "rosita don't"
"i'm so sorry.. i, i didn't see her, theres a doctor back at the farm i'm staying at" he said nervously, shaking
"where?" i yelled
"half a mile that way" he said pointing
"you'll see a mail box that says greene" he yelled once i started running
"cmon ash" i said attempting to run as fast as i could
i held onto her tightly as i picked up my speed.
it felt like forever until i finally passed the mailbox and saw their farm.
once i reached it i was met with a woman "who are you?"
"she's hurt, some guy who lives here shot her, please help"
she opened the door and yelled "daddy, someones hurt"
a man came out of a bedroom and opened it "in here"
i walked in quickly and placed Ashley on the bed
"she said mark shot her" the girl from earlier said
he lifted Ashley's shirt and examined her wound
"i can take it out but i'm gonna need someone with her blood type"
"i do" i said immediately
"honey, get my stuff i need to get this bullet out of her" he said to a woman i hadn't seen standing at the doorway.
"i'm maggie, thats my dad Hershel and that was my sister beth."
"and mark?" i asked
"stepbrother" she said simply reaching out for my hand. i rolled up sleeve and extended my arm.
she stuck a needle in me and began taking blood.
once she was done, rosita walked in the room with Oliver.
"sam?"
"hey rosita" i said standing up but then immediately falling from how dizzy i was
she ran towards me and picked me up "what the hell happened?"
"we took some of her blood for her friend" maggie explained eyeing me
"theres some food and water in the kitchen, shell need some or otherwise shell faint" beth added in
rosita helped me towards the kitchen and sat me down.
within a few minutes she gave me a plate of food and some water.
"thank you" i said
"not a problem, you okay?"
i nodded with a mouthful.
once i finished maggie walked in with mark.
"were just about done, we got the bullet out of her and my dad is just stitching her up"
i nodded "thank you for helping her"
"its the least i could do because of mark"
"speaking of that, i'm really sorry. i didn't mean too, i was just trying to get the deer, not her" he said lowly.
before i could answer Hershel came in.
"you're welcome to see her, if you like."
me and rosita rushed in and were met with Oliver.
i walked in and grabbed her hand. "what are we gonna do now?" i asked when i turned and saw Hershel standing at the doorway.
"she'll need a few days to recover but after shell be just fine... but in the mean time, we have two spare bedrooms, you three can use them and stay as long as you need" he said
"thank you, its greatly appreciated" Oliver spoke up
Hershel left the room, leaving me, Oliver and rosita with Ashley.
"how are we gonna split those rooms between us?" Oliver asked after a moment of silence
"should we even trust these people?" rosita asked
"i mean... they saved ash, they didn't have too" i said
"yeah... but isn't it weird how they're just letting us stay here without even being suspicious?" she pushed
"maybe, but for now ash is okay, we've got food and some beds to sleep in, i say that should just he okay for now"
they both simply nodded.
"so you two never answered my question?" oliver said
"me and rosita can share and you can take the other"
"awesome" he said leaving the room.
me and rosita laughed. "he's so dumb" i said rolling my eyes
"we should get some rest" rosita said mentioning for me to go with her.
i let go of Ashley's hand and followed rosita out of the room
we met up with maggie in the kitchen
"uhm, where will we be staying?" i asked
"upstairs, to the left" she said
we nodded, thanking her before we walked up the stairs.
we went into the room and saw that there were pillows, blankets, two towels and some clothes.
"well shit, they're awfully friendly" rosita said sarcastically looking at everything that had been laid out.
i shoved her "don't be an asshole"
she laughed, "okay sorry but... i'm still not sure"
"i know, i'm suspicious too but i'm holding off for ash, we need her to recover"
she nodded, "so you wanna shower first or..?"
"might as well" i said grabbing a towel and some clothes.
i walked into the restroom, shutting and locking the door behind me.
i looked into the mirror, finally seeing my reflection, i hadn't in days.
i had blood, sweat and dirt covering my face. i looked so shitty.
i sighed and began undressing myself.
i turned on the water and laughed. finally, some hot water.
i stepped in and enjoyed it hitting my skin.
after what felt like forever i finally stepped out, and shut off the water.
i dried myself and put on some clothing.
i walked out and saw rosita sitting at the edge of the bed, in a thought.
"rosita?"
no response.
i walked up to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. immediately she jumped.
"you okay?" i asked
she gulped, "uh... yeah, yeah i'm good" she said standing up.
she quickly grabbed her towel and clothes and went into the restroom.
i sighed and sat where she was sitting before she stood up.
what a day. i thought as i let myself fall onto the bed.
i started to think about my girlfriend Riley and where she could be.
was she even alive? was she looking for me too?
i sat up and grabbed my jacket. i reached into the pocket and pulled out the picture of me and her.
i didn't realize how long i was starring at it till i heard rosita's voice.
"that your girlfriend?" she asked making me jump
"jesus" i said putting my hand over my chest "you scared the crap out of me"
"sorry" she said laughing "but is that her?" she asked now sitting next to me, looking at the picture.
"yeah.. that's her" i said lowly
"do you miss her?" she asked
i simply nodded "so you wanna take the bed or?" i asked changing the subject
"cant we just share?" she suggested "we shouldn't have to take the floor"
i hesitated but just sighed and nodded
"don't worry i wont make any moves" she said smirking
"whatever" i said chuckling
we got up and got into bed. she shut off the lamp and and i laid there, not being able to sleep.
"cant sleep?" she asked
"nope"
i felt her turn over. "how did you and Ashley meet?" she asked
"at work, when i was a cop. she was my partner"
there was silence till i spoke up.
"can i ask you something?"
"sure"
"what happened at the school?"
"what do you mean?" she asked
"when i ran back, what happened?"
she sighed. "it looked like he was gonna shoot Ashley so i decided not to wait and find out so i just killed them both"
"do you regret doing it?" i asked
"at first i felt kind of bad but i don't regret it, they were gonna hurt us, i had too"
"its okay, i would've done the same thing, if that helps in anyway" i said
"yeah it does"
i turned over, facing her now.
"are you okay?"
"what do you mean?" she asked once again
"i mean, you killed someone, isn't it hard?"
"i mean, kinda... but i was in the army for a long while, i guess I'm already immune to it in a way"
i nodded. "we should probably sleep now"
"right, yeah" she said.
we both turned around and eventually fell asleep.
