Daddy?

Terminus part 2

*Megan's POV*

We get to Rick and start making our way to the back entrance slowly. My heart is literally beating out of my chest. I don't know why I'm so nervous. I guess it's just the felling I have in the pit of my stomach. I want to ask, no, beg. I want to beg them if we can turn around and go back, but I decide against it and keep my mouth shut.

When we finally get into the back, we can hear a lady repeating into a microphone "Terminus. Sanctuary For all. Community for all. Those who arrive, survive." "Sounds a little good to be true don't You think?" I say looking at the lady. My dad turns around and scowls at me. Oh well, they were going to find out we were here anyway.

A man starts to walk up to us and looks at me. "Megan?" He says quietly. "Gareth?!" I say running to him. "I-I thought You had died. After those people came in and....." he trails off, holding me tightly. "Shhhh. We don't have to talk about it. It's fine. I'm fine." I say looking up at him. He smiles and releases me. "Um.... What the hell?" Carl says. I haven't told them that I was here before. Before them. Before Joshua. At the very beginning. "Carl. I....." I don't know how to explain this. I shouldn't be explaining this. "Who's that?" Gareth wiggles his eyebrows at me. I blush and look down. I've always kinda liked Gareth. "Carl. He's my boyfriend." I blush again. I can see the color in Gareths face drain and he looks away. "Oh. Okay... Come on. He I will show You." around." He says pointing to his brother. "It's nice to see You again," his brother smiles down at me. "You too." I mumble. Someone grabs my arm to stop me. I turn around and see that It's Gareth. Oh great. Carl turns around and stops. I nod telling him It's Okay to go. He nods back and keeps walking. "I've missed you." He said pulling me to his chest. No. "I've missed You too." Shut up. "You know. I don't Really like that Carl kid." He says pulling me closer. I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't be going along with his games. "Oh." Is all I say. I am not doing this. "You know. I didn't think it was possible,Megan." "What?" I say trying to pull away. He chuckles and doesn't say anything.

We walk outside to guns being pointed at us and everyone else. "Get behind me" Gareth says. I shake my head and draw My gun on him. I know that this is wrong. He helped me. But Rick and the group helped me more. Way more. "Megan... w-what are You doing?" I can tell he is truly hurt and it's taking every thing in me not to put it down. "I'm sorry." I whisper. He shakes his head and looks at Rick. "Just put the gun down. Please. We can get through what ever this is." He says. Looking back over at me. I can't do this. I can't draw my gun on Gareth. Even if I should keep my gun up, I don't.

I put my gun down and look at Gareth as reliefe washes over his features and Carl glares at me. Suddenly Gareth grabs me and puts a gun to my head. I don't even struggle. I know nothing good will come of this. Rick yells for him to let me go and I shake my head. "Carl-" I choke form Gareth's grip getting tighter. "I love You. Stay safe." I say as I elbow Gareth. I hear a gun shot and feel warm blood run down my chest as I fall. I hear many gunshots screaming. I look at the sky and see the beautiful clouds. I never took time to look at the clouds. They are very pretty. Am I still alive? I know I shouldn't be thinking that but I can't help it. It feels like I have been laying here for ages and the guns have stopped I think. I see people crying in pain and screaming but I can't hear anything. Should I let go? I should. I need to. Just as I'm closing my eyes I see Gareth running as fast as he can to me. He gets to me and looks in my eyes. They are red and puffy. A single tear falls from his face and lands on my cheek. I smile lightly and so does he. I feel exhausted. I close my eyes wanting sleep. I feel my body move as I drift away.
