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

Chapter 35

I remember going shopping with my friends, laughing and talking about boys, like every other girl out there

Getting into fights with my parents, more then once...what can i say, i had a fucked up childhood. The only person i could count on, trust and know that was there for me, was daryl

We were there for each other when merle left us with our dad. I still remember the feeling of his belt slamming down against my skin, pain was the only emotion for me

Then came the day when the virus started, i remember running outside, seeing everyone throwing their bags into their cars and driving away. Leaving everything behind

And now i'm in this freaking barn with walkers encircling it and no where to go

''Taylor come on!'' i turned around, seeing rick and carl standing by the window

I quickly ran over to them, noticing the SUV driving our way. It stoped infront of us, rick quickly climbed over the wood plates and helped carl climb over

As i was about to climb over, i felt someone grab onto my leg, pulling me down

I was about to fall, when rick quickly grabbed onto my hand and shot the walker, that had managed to grab onto my leg 

He pulled me onto the SUV, we quickly climbed down the ladder and ran towards the forest, hiding from the walkers, fortunately non of them saw us running here

I heard the sound of daryl's motorcycle, peaking out behind the tree, i saw him driving down the road and shoot as many walkers as he could

''Daryl'' i mumbled

''He'll be alright'' 

I felt rick place his hand onto my shoulder, squeezing it gently, i nodded, knowing that daryl is able to take care of himself

---

We were in the forest for a few minutes, hearing gunshots and shouting. I watched as rick slowly walked out from behind the tree and towards the house

Mentioning for us to follow him, i looked up, seeing a walker right behind hershel. I quickly took my gun and shot it in the head, rick ran to him, pulling him back towards the only car that was still there

''Lori, have you seen her?'' 

''I don't know where their coming from rick, they just keep coming'' 

''Lori! Lori! Have you seen her?'' i couldn't help but feel slight pain, when rick asked that

''No!''  

We got into the car, i sat into the passengers seat, rick quickly got it and started the car, driving away. I looked at the barn threw the side mirror, fire...everythings gone

---

Once we got to the highway, rick stoped the car and got out

''Where's mom?'' i looked at carl for a moment and turned around walking away

They need their moment and don't need me there with them. I leaned against a car, looking at both sides of the road, expecting to see daryl driving his motorcycle

''You alright?'' i looked and saw hershel coming towards me

''Yeah'' he came and stood next to me, neither of us saying anything

''I never got to thank you for what you said to me and the bar'' 

''No problem'' i shook my head and kicked a small rock

''You know if you ever need to talk, i'm here'' i looked at him, giving him a small smile

''Thank you'' 

I heard the sound of a motorcycle, looking up, i saw daryl driving towards us with others following him. Once he stoped, i ran towards him, bumping into rick's shoulder

I tacked daryl with a tight hug, he hugged me back, letting out a low chuckle. I pulled away from the hug and playfully punched his shoulder

''Don't laugh, i thought you died or something'' 

''And leave you here all alone? Never'' i smiled and hugged him again

Turning around, i looked around and noticed that lori wasn't here

''Uhh..where's lori?'' everyone stopped

''She got out of the car and a walker attacked her'' i looked at carl

His eyes got watery, he ran to rick, hugging him...she's dead? Lori's dead
