[7] Goodbye Jim

[Outfit Above]

S1: Ep5. "Wildfire"

The next morning Glenn woke me up early so we could help bury our friends. I made my way up the hill with Glenn to find Daryl, Morales, Dale, and Jim pulling bodies into a huge pile of fire with the others. The others being walkers. "What are you guys doing? This is for geeks. Our people go over there." Glenn asks completely dumbfounded as to why they would be doing this in the first place. "What's the difference? They're all infected."

Daryl asks nonchalantly which sets Glenn off. "Our people go in that row over there." He points to the left before continuing while his voice breaks, I grab his hand giving it a squeeze "We don't burn them! We bury them. Understand?" He cries out, Daryl nods to Morales and they pick the body back up dragging it to where Glenn pointed. "Our people go in that row over there."

Daryl grunts as Morales and him drag the body "You reap what you sow" Morales scoffs, "You know what? Shut up, man." They drop the body in the row with the others. "Y'all left my brother for dead. You had this coming." Daryl yells as he points around at the bodies. In the distance, Jim walks over to Jacqui to pick up another body but they stay still whispering to each other. I watch them skeptically before Jacqui stands up and backs away from him.

"A walker got him. A walker bit Jim." She exclaimed causing everyone to stop what they're doing. Everyone moves forward gathering around him in a circle. "I'm okay. I'm okay." Jim says as he holds his hands up in defense "Show it to us. Show it to us." Daryl demands. Just as Shane walks over Jim grabs a shovel to defend himself "Easy, Jim."

"Grab him." Daryl yells I go to sneak around him but Glenn grabs my hand keeping me from getting close to him. "Jim put it down. Put it down." Shane instructs but Jim refuses "I'm okay. I'm okay." T-Dog manages to grab him from behind so Daryl can pull up his shirt revealing the huge bite mark over the left side of his stomach. Daryl drops his shirt as T-Dog lets go of him. Everyone backs away from him as Jim continues to repeat his words "I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay."

I was sitting on the ground leaning against a tree log in the shade, by the fire pit we all gather around at night while Glenn laid his head in my lap. I was running my fingers through his hair when Rick approached us. "Aubree" I look up my eyes meeting Ricks bright blue ones. "What's up?" I asked curiously after seeing the hidden fear in his eyes. He rests a hand on his hip and looks away for a moment before back to us. "You have medical training correct?" I nod but furrow my brows at the same time "Yeah..why?" I ask hesitant unsure of what he was getting at.

His eyes kept shifting away from mine so I follow his line of sight and see he's glancing back at the RV. "Could you keep an eye on Jim. Help him be a bit more comfortable for a while." He asks and I nod "Of course" He smiles gratefully before walking away. I look down at Glenn "Sorry buddy your gonna have to get up." He groans which makes a giggle escape my lips as he sits up "Please be careful with him. Keep your knives on you."
