Everything Is Lost (RICK GRIMES TWDFF)

Chapter 4 Just Deal With It

  "You're  all fixed. I know Pete told you this, but i want to tell you myself." Carlos their doctor tells me.  "Stay away from me and my daughter..." I dont even want to be around any of them anyway. Ive been getting the same demand all day. Instead of causing a problem,  i keep my mouth shut.  He goes up the stairs and i finally get to close my eyes. Maybe I'll get a good night rest for the first time in a long time.

"You feelin okay?" His voice.  I just want to sleep. That's  all i want to do. "Sorry for botherin you but i just wanted to check up on you.  See how youre feeling after-"

"I'm fine." But then the little girl Clementine enters the room. She is different in this house. She sits across the sofa in front of me.  "Can i ask you something?" I ask quietly while I turn on my side to face her. Just me, luke, Clem and Nick in the room.

"Why did you stop him? Why did you believe  me?" I want to know.  I want to know why a child did what she did.

She hesitates  a little before words spill out.

"Because when i came here, i was treated worse....and i couldn't  imagine what they could have done to you since you're  an adult. When they ask you about your group, they don't  believe that a person can survive as long as they did...alone."

I stare at the girl in shock.  She went through the same thing as me. She's only a child. How? But what did they do to her?

"What do you mean worse?"

That is what sparks my curiosity. She first looks at Nick then Luke like she was asking them for permission  to tell. Nobody said a word.

"I got bit by a dog and they didn't  think i waa telling the truth so they locked me up in a shed for the entire night.  I knew if my wound didn't  get healed up, i would turn into one of those things. I-"

"That's  enough." Nick interrupts.

I've  had enough of his looks. Of his comments. Of him.  "Let  her finish for goodness sakes."  But instead of her continuing, he continues  to insult me.

"She doesn't  need to give a shit about you.  No body does.  She doesn't  need to tell what we did.  If we just killed you, this argument  wouldn't  be happening! You  wouldn't  be here!"

"Nick!  Get out of here man!" Luke yells.

I can feel my face burn, ready to explode like a volcano. "No.  He's  right....if you don't  want me here, then kill me already.  Prove that you have the guts to kill a human being right in front  of everyone. Prove that  you're  the man you're  pretending  you are!" I inhale  deep breaths.  I can see his face light up.

Instead of replying, he walks out of the room angrily.  I proved my point. I just know it.

"You just want to get yourself killed today do you?" Luke remarks.  I turn to him quickly just staring at him. "He can't kill me. I can see it in his eyes but he's  weak."I close my eyes wanting to escape this already.

"Amia, it's  just your first day.  It'll  get better before you know it." He pats my leg leaving to the kitchen. He and Clementine  are the only ones defending me so far. Who think I'm  still human. 

But really, I've  done things that nobody should be proud of.
