Lost Too Much 【REDONE】 ║ Daryl/OC or Shane/OC

Chapter 45: It feels like Woodbury's just... gone.

(DAY 021) So I may have gotten a little drunk last night. And by that, I mean a lot. I wasn't so drunk that I couldn't think, but I definitely wasn't thinking as much as normal. I didn't finish the entry from yesterday because after I left to find Milton, I found Martinez and we talked about Phillip again. We walked around town for awhile, looked at some of the old shops, and then eventually Phillip found us and we went back to his office, which was also his house. He told me almost instantly that he hadn't come up with much for a plan - he had only gotten stuff to drink, but he didn't know what else to do. So we played a drinking game. We contemplated playing Never Have I Ever, but we decided on Two Truths and One Lie. I learned a lot about him, and also got extremely drunk. After that, he showed me this game called, "I'm Going on a Picnic". It's not important how you play, but we played and it was hilarious. We were both in tears laughing because of it, but that may have been the alcohol.

And then... I may have blurted out that I wasn't sure if we were on a date or not. He drunkenly answered that he meant it as a date, but it didn't have to be if I wasn't okay with it. And then... I may have kissed him. And he may have kissed me back. We might've made out. Okay, we almost had sex, but he stopped it before anything happened and said he didn't want to take advantage of me or do anything I'd regret. I still did end up sleeping in his bed, and I woke up really confused until it came back to me just a couple minutes ago. I think we're dating now. I'm not sure. Maybe I should talk to him. I kinda snuck out of his room and ran back to mine because I woke up really early and didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea.

I had to stop writing because Phillip showed up and we ate breakfast together. I made us eggs and toast, and little Conner woke up and was all giddy when he saw Phillip in our house. Apparently, all the little kids in town think of him like the president or king or something. I think it's adorable. Then Hannah woke up, and then Titus, and Titus kept giving these looks, making it bluntly obvious that he knew something was going on between us. Phillip caught one of the looks and started acting a little weird. It kinda looked like jealousy. I could be wrong but I don't know.

I do have to go now, though, because the doctor needs some help running errands. That's me, the leader's girlfriend, and the errand girl.

Signing out,
Corynn Elaine August (Jenner)

"There's expedition," Spencer said, tracing the letters individually with his pointer finger. I picked up the pen, drawing a circle around it. "There. Two left."

We had been working on our word search for about thirty minutes while we sat and ate M&Ms. We had done it yesterday morning, too. It was 676 AZ, now a week since we arrived in Alexandria. Spencer and I joked about word searches being our lunch ritual together since I was usually at the Monroe house by noon.

"I'll look for generous, you look for valiant," I declared, setting forth to do so. My eyes scanned the page while Spencer went on to keep the conversation going.

"So, are your people getting along here any better?"

It had been a few days since he last asked me how the group was adjusting. Since then, I had been around the Monroe's and Anderson's a lot more than my own people. Well, I had seen Daryl and Merle, obviously, though the two of them were out and about often or at home playing video games with Conner. As for everyone else, I only really talked to them occasionally. I've had conversations with Rick and Carol about suspecting Pete of being abusive, and I talked to Tara, Eugene, Glenn, and Noah just this morning before they left for their run. I did talk to Rick alone, too, though he seemed a little spaced out lately. Shane, I hadn't said a damn word to since Deanna's party.
