Last Romeo (The walking Dead: Rick Grimes love story)

Chapter 25

Rick's pov: 

Me and dale were walking towards the house, when i saw lori running towards us

''Rick come!'' 

I nodded and went with her, i followed her into a bedroom, looking around i saw pictures of hershel and some woman. I'm guessing that she's his wife. I noticed boxes on the bed, walking over to them, i started looking through them

''Your stepmothers things?'' i looked at maggie

''Yes, my dad was so sure that she'd recover one day and the'll continue where they left off'' 

''Looks like he found an old friend''

I looked over my shoulder, seeing shane waving a old alcohol bottle, maggie walked over to him and took it from him

''This belonged to my grandfather, gave it to dad when he died''  

''Is there a chance that he might have drunk it?''

''No, he gave up drinking when i was born...he didn't even allow liquor in this house'' i thought about it for a moment

''Where's the closest bar in town?'' 

''Hatland (i may be wrong)'' 

''Alright, i'll go and get him'' 

I was about to walk away, when glenn said he was going to come along. I nodded and walked out the room, when i felt lori grab onto my hand.

''Rick, are we going to talk about this or what?''

''I don't need to talk about it, we need hershel...and i'm not going to let him die like this''

With that i walked away, leaving her standing there with shane. I don't need to talk to her about my decisions, what does she think, now that i know the truth everything will be like it was before? 

I got into the truck, waiting for glenn, when i spotted taylor coming out of the SUV. I looked towards the house and got out of the truck, she might want me to stay away, but i need her to come with us

''Taylor wait!'' i ran towards her

Taylor's pov: 

I watched as rick ran towards me, i sighed looking down

''What?'' 

''There's something wrong with beth and we need hershel, his in the town and i need you to come along with me and glenn'' 

I looked at him, thinking about it, i know i said that we should stay away from each other , but he sounds like he really needs me to go with him. I took a deep breath and nodded, he smiled and turned around walking back to the truck, i followed him

Glenn came  out of the house with maggie following him, he walked over to rick's side and opened the door

''I'm going to stay here, sorry'' 

''It's fine''

Rick patted glenn's shoulder and closed the door, he looked at me for a moment, then started the car.

When we got into the town, i felt rick looking over at me. 

''Why are you looking at me?'' i whispered, but i knew he heard me

''Im trying to think of a reason why you'd want me to stay away from you'' i didn't anwser him

''Taylor!'' i looked at him

''I have my reasons'' 

He looked at me and stoped infront of the bar. I got out of the truck and walked towards the bar doors, i tried to see through the windows, but they were so dirty, i couldn't see anything

I watched as rick took out his gun and slowly opened one of the bar doors, i followed him inside. I saw him lowering his gun, i looked past him and saw hershel, sitting by the bar

''Hershel?''

''Who's with you?''

''Taylor'' 

I looked at rick for a moment, suddenly i felt really out of place, like i shouldn't have came. Rick walked over to hershel, looking back at me once or twice

''How many have you had?''

''Not enough''

''Beth collapsed she's in some sort of a shock, she needs you'' 

''My daughter's deserve better then that'' i let out a low chuckle and walked towards them

''Your daughter's deserve better then that? Hershel you have already gave them so much, you don't even know about it. So they saw there family *die* infront of them, we've all seen it'' i pulled a chair and sat next to him

''I saw my own father die infront of me and come back as one of them, i hated him...i really did, but i can't lie and say that i didn't feel sorry for what happened to him''

''Maggie and beth love you to death, so they lost there family, but at least they have you and i'm not going to let you die like this and i sure as not am going to leave you here like this'' 

Hershel looked at me, then turned his head and looked at rick. When he looked back at me, i noticed a small smile on his face. I looked at rick, he had a small smirk on his face

''Thank you''

I smiled, when suddenly the bar door opened and two guys walked in. One was a little chubby and was wearing a hat, the other was skinny and looked like your average bad boy type
