Chapter 5

Shane and Lori were kissing. I felt the tears running down my face. Before I could say anything Shane's shirt came off, an so did Lori's. I couldn't watch no more.

   "Are you fucking kidding me?" I said aloud. They pulled away and looked at me. The tears were now falling harder. I was hurt, pissed. I couldn't believe it.

  "Nova, it's not what it looks like..." Shane started.

  "Not what it fucking looks like. Not what it fucking looks like, how dare you say that to me. I'm not blind. You cheating asshole. I should have known you two sneaking off with each other." I turned an ran back to the camp. Crying my eyes out. I went to the tent me, Shane, and Lori shared. I started packing up my stuff.  I may not leave this group but I refuse to sleep anywhere near that cheating asshole, an that whore. Before I got everything packed up Shane came into the tent.

"Where.....where you going?" He asked. I turned around and stared into his teary eyes.

"Leaving. Leaving your cheating ass." I said throwing the last of my stuff in my bag. I zipped it up, and grabbed it. I went to walk out of the tent but was stopped. I turned to meet Shane's eyes. "Let me go." I said with force.

  "Nova....Nova I'm sorry. I...I didn't mean for it to happen. Please don't leave. Where will you go. There is no where to go." He said crying harder.

  "I'm not stupid. I ain't leaving the group. I'm leaving you, so you can freely sleep with that whore. An don't tell me you didn't mean for it to happen. If you didn't mean for it to happen you would have pushed that bitch off. Now let me go." I replied ripping my arm from his grip. "Oh and if you haven't gotten the memo. Don't ever talk to me again." I said leaving the tent. I walked to the RV hoping Dale would be atop of it. He was. "Dale, is there room in the RV for me?" I asked my voice shaky. He looked down at me.

"There is. Are you okay?"

"I will be." I replied putting my bags inside the RV. I sat down at the table. Tears were falling like a waterfall down my face. I soon realized, I needed to be strong. Strong for me, and for my child. Strong for the people around me. I will not let this bring me down. I stood up, wiped the tears from my face. I sorted through my clothes. To find the dirty ones. I grabbed a good amount, I went down to the quarry. I needed something to take this off of my mind. I saw Carol there with Jacqui, washing some clothes. So I joined them, and their conversation. They were talking about what they missed. I missed chocolate, my bed, my mother, bacon, and showers. They missed things like, Carol's washing machine, Jacqui missed her coffee maker. Soon we were joined by Amy and Andrea. We all shared things we missed most. Amy missed texting and her computer, I don't blame her. Andrea missed he vibrator.  Laughed at this. Carol had said after a quick glance at her abusive husband, that she missed her as well. We all laughed at this.

"What ya'll laughing bout. This ain't no comedy club, get back to work." Ed said suddenly behind us all.

I turned around and stood up. I walked up to him.

"Ed you should laugh more, and quit being so Damn serious. The world gone to hell. The best thing we can do is laugh." I said. I turned to walk away, but came face first to the ground. Luckily I put my arms out before my belly hit the ground. I stood up as fast as I could being pregnant. I looked Ed in the face. "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MY BABY, YOU ABUSIVE MOTHER FUCKER!" I yelled in his face. I punched him as hard as I could in the face. But he also went for my face. He got me in the eye. Before more could happen I was pulled away by Andrea. An I watched as Shane went at Ed. He must have seen what went on. Shane kept on wailing on his face before I said enough. I walked to him and placed my hand on his shoulder. He looked at me, then looked at Ed again. He punched Ed one more time in the face. He said somethings to him, that I didn't hear because I went over to Carol, who was crying over her husband. I hugged her and said it's gonna be okay. She hugged me back apologizing over and over. As soon as Shane left Ed alone, Carol ran to him. I looked at Shane who was walking towards me.

"Thank you." I said.

"Nova, I wanna talk to you." He asked.

"There is nothing to talk about. You cheated. We're done. I don't see what's left to talk about." I said walking away from him. I went and picked up my basket of cleaned clothes. An walked back to the RV's clothes hanger. I hung my wet clothes up. When I was done I put the basket back into the RV. I heard Morales talking, I walked out of the RV to hear. They were putting a group together for a run, into town. My ears perked up at this. Now this is a way to earn my keep in the group. Plus I wanted to stock up on some baby stuff.

"I'm going, an y'all won't change my mind. I need to get a few things for my baby as well. Plus I'm quick. I will be fine and will look out for myself." I pitched in.

"I'll go as well." Andrea said.

"Us to." T-dog pointed to him an Jacqui.

"Me too." Merle Dixon said. This took me by surprise. He never did anything for the group. It was just him and his brother Daryl.

"Well looks like we have our group. Though I really don't want you going Nova." Morales said to me.

"To bad, I'm going anyway. You can't stop me."

"Okay. We will be leaving tomorrow morning." He replied.

Later that night~

I was sitting by the fire. I sat by Dale and Amy. I had ate. I had some of the stew Lori was cooking. It was good. It surprisingly stayed down, for now at least. I told Dale I was turning in for the night. I walked into the RV. The table was set into a bed for me and Amy to share. I laid down, as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up the sun just rising in from the east. I stood up and pulled on my favorite black tank top with a silver skull on the front. A pair of black shorts and my belt that Shane got my. It holds my gun, and my knives. I was really skilled with both of them, thanks to Shane. I pulled my long hair up into a ponytail. I sprayed a small squirt of perfume. I tried to add a pleasant smell to me. Even though it gets cut off from my sweat. I placed my loaded gun in the holster. Made sure my knives were intact. I grabbed my picking back pack. I placed several water bottles in it. I also put some of my energy bars in one of the pockets. Me being pregnant and doing this I had to make sure I will eat. I put the pack over my shoulders and walked out of the RV. I found that they didn't leave yet. I put my pack in the car I was riding in. Once everyone that was going with us got up and ready, I went to go sit in the front passenger seat, but was stopped by Shane.

"I don't want you to go." He said. Panic was obviously in his voice.

"You don't have a say in what I do anymore Shane. Get out of my face." I said sitting down an slamming the door in his face. Morales got in the car and we drove off towards Atlanta.
