I'm Not Lori! (A Rick Grimes Love Story)

Ch 3

~Rick's POV~

The next day came to quickly. No nightmare of Lori or the walkers; just the sudden peace that came from Hailey singing, only for its going to be shattered. I know she is going to be hard headed and stubbon, about relinquishing her weapons. Since I couldn't ask her last night with Judith and Carl falling asleep to her lullaby and herself soon after.But Daryl had a point. I don't know what happened or what she's been through, the girl that I used to know, might have changed. Also add on to the fact that we still have that asshole govener to deal with. Getting out of the bunk, I ran my hand over my face, feeling the thick growing beard, before getting dressed. Walking down the steps of the cell block, only to hear one annoying voice, you dont want to hear in the morning.

"Well now, it seems that officer friendly rised bright and early this morning." Said Merle, "Does it have to do with that fine ass that came in here yesterday?"

I ignored him and kept walking until the next comment he made.

"Oh what I would do to that tight light bod, mmm." Merle snickered

"Shut up!" I yelled pointing my gun at him

Merle continued to laugh as Daryl stepped infront of me, blocking me from his brother.

"Whoa Rick, stop." Daryl said pushing against my chest.

"Seems Friendly here doesn't want to share his bitch." Merle stated

"Shut up Merle." Daryl said

"And who are you calling a bitch?" Asked Hailey

"Wow speak of the bitch and she appears."

"You know, I heard when men talk the way you do, Merle was it? They compensate for havong a small dick." She said smiling innocently

I heard Daryl begin to laugh, only to cover up his smile with his thumb.

"Aren't you a little spit fire." Said Merle

"I need to be something in this god forsaken dead world." Hailey told him

Daryl nudge me and motioned towards Hailey, who just sat down at one of the tables. Right I forgot, her weapons. Walking up to her, she looked up at me and smiled. God she still looked the same. In a quick second, Lori's face replaced hers. Shaking my head, I put my hands on my waist and sighed. I knew the outcome of this is going to be bad.

"Hailey, we need to talk." I told her, "Alone."

"You waited till I sat down to tell me this?" She joked, "Rick what is it, you can tell me here."

"Uh.." I trailed off, thinking on how to start this without getting yelled at

"Oh for fuck sakes. I'll do it then." Daryl said walking up, "Look lady we need you to surrender your weapons."
