The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

The Reids Part Five

Mason sits down at the desk and Lewis stands there staring him down as he smiles and puts his feet up.

"we can crash here a few days, gather supplies, then head out to the community..."

Lewis asks unsure staring down Mason.

"the community?"

Mason leans his head back.

"yeah, you know the one, the one you attacked with Konnor, the one you let kids die, innocent people die..."

Lewis shifts in place and Mason laughs as he stares down Lewis and states coldly.

"we ain't saints, we do what we have to do, but we do it together, don't we?"

Mason keeps leaning back in his chair, staring over lewis as Lewis thinks to himself remaining quiet and Mason mocks him.

"so, you love me?"

Lewis shifts in place and Mason laughs to himself as he comments.

"not like i didn't know, your, you know. i mean you never even tried with any of the girls and you had a lot of chances."

Mason leans forward as he motions to Lewis and stares him down as lewis stares up at him.

"fuck you.."

Lewis goes to walk away and Mason smiles to himself as he comments.

"stop being so soft lewis, people would eat you alive out there if they find out, you need to toughen up, I may not always be around to protect you.."

Mason stares down his best friend and Lewis shakes his head.

"I don't want your protection"

Lewis stands still and Mason walks to a draw pulling out some alcohol and pops off the top of the bottle as he takes a swig. Mason strolls over to him and holds it out as he grins over his friend and comments.

"you got on the bike, didn't you?"

Lewis takes the drink and downs a large gulp as Mason smiles to himself and stares down Lewis as he casually asks.

"so what happened, to your boyfriend. I mean, you had one at college, didn't you?"

Lewis downs another drink and mason smiles to himself as Lewis plops down on a nearby couch and thinks to himself remembering college and the disease. He drinks another sip and Mason nods his head.

"ah, so he didn't make it..."

Lewis stares forward and Mason comes over and sits across from him as he asks.

"what happened?"

Lewis nods his head as he takes another gulp and replies.

"We were flown out, when it started, he went back to his parents. I doubt he even made it to the airport..."

Mason shrugs as he motions to the bottle and lewis hands him it as he takes a swig and Lewis comments.

"we were gonna get engaged, we went shopping the week before, matching rings. I planned to tell my dad, but with his reelection...."

Mason nods his head as he takes a swig and hands it back to Lewis and lewis goes to speak but Mason cuts him off.

"fuck the reelection, you know your dad loved  you, and your sister first, he loved you..."

Lewis shakes his head disagreeing as he swigs down more of the alcohol.

"he loved who i pretended to be, he didn't even know me..."

  Mason rubs his hands together and thinks to himself as lewis swigs another gulp and sits back as he comments.

"how long did you know?"

Lewis lays back staring his best friend over as Mason thinks and points his finger at Lewis.

"remember the summer party at the Dalson's into senior year.."

Lewis laughs as he nods his head.

"chad fucking dalson I really hope he died..."

Mason nods his head as he comments.

"his dad didn't believe in guns so probably..."

Lewis stares down Mason and Mason looks up smiling at his best friend.

"You kissed me, you were wasted then I tried making out with Anna dalson, it was disturbing man.."

Mason sits back and Lewis places down the alcohol as Lewis asks him.

"was it any good?"

Mason makes a face remembering as he shakes his head no.

"no, you tasted like tacos, and throw up"

Lewis laughs to himself and Mason stares down the drink and caps it and thinks to himself as he gets up. he walks over to the window and eyes the snow coming down as he comments.

"we will use the next few days to gather supplies, when the snow clears up we will head out, hopefully, we can meet Presley and Konnor..."

Lewis sits still thinking to himself as Mason comments staring the snow piling up on the dried up lawn.

"lets put the past behind us, we got a good group Lewis"

Mason turns back eyeing Lewis holding up a gun as he questions staring down his best friend.

"did you bring me here to kill me?"

Lewis stands still holding the gun up pointing it at Mason and Mason shakes his head.

"no, if I wanted to kill you I would have just carved my knife into your throat in the field, but I didn't, did I?"

Mason walks forward and motions to the gun.

"you're getting drunk, put it down.."

Lewis sighs and drops the gun on the table as he feels his body shift and Mason holds onto his arm smiling but Lewis comments staring at the floor.

"I killed your dad..."
