2. Never Tear Us Apart

-passing out-

The next day was the day of the party

Daryl was off with Aaron for the day while the others were off doing their own thing, mostly getting ready for the party.

Theo put on her black dress and heals that Olivia had given her a few days ago before heading over to the party.

She met her family on the way, her father dressed in a shirt and trousers, Carl in a clean flannel and Carol in a flowery outfit. Judith of course wearing her best dress.

"You look nice" Carl complimented Theo.

"Thanks buddy" She smiled as they walked into Deanna's house, soft classical music in the background, people gathered drinking wine and other alcohol.

"Oh my, you do dress up nice don't you" Deanna complimented just as Merle walked in the door with Debbie by his side. 

"Thank you," Rick said to all of them.

Theo walked away grabbing a bottle of beer and heading over to Glenn and Maggie.

"How are you settling?" Glenn asked, "You look great by the way" he smiled.

"Thanks. But I was alright till now" She breathed out, she couldn't quite understand her sudden change in thought, something to her just now felt off.

"How so?" Maggie asked, taking a sip of her beer.

"This, a party? Because what, these once upper class people still need to be able to show they are better than everyone else?" Theo finally snapped, her anxiety was spiking, badly.

"I thought you needed this?" Glenn asked, questioning her sudden change in heart.

"Yeah, i thought i did, but look at us and then look at them" She began "They haven't had to go through it, they haven't had to survive, they just hid" Theo ranted

"Okay, but this is working, you know that right?" Maggie asked, attempting to calm her.

"I can't do this" Theo panicked as Merle walked over. 

"You okay?" Merle asked her worried. 

"Theo?" Glenn worried as she panicked. 

"I'm going out" She announced, excusing herself.

She headed for the door when Spencer stopped her.

"Leaving so early?" He smirked "I like your tattoos, got a lot of them huh?"

"Yeah, not my thing anymore" She tried to get past, but he moved with her.

"If you like we could get out of here?" He remarked, he was drunk, the whisky was strong.

She was confused by his statement, but when he grabbed her ass she realised what he truly meant

"Might wanna remove your hand before I do something I might regret" Glenn threatened behind her.

Spencer clicked his tongue before moving out the way.

Theo grabbed a bottle of something as she walked out, opening the door and slamming it behind her.

She stomped down the street, her heels making every moment make a loud click in the silence of the road.

"Theo!" She could hear Merle yell after her

"Leave me be!" She yelled back making him stop where he stood. 

She headed into her house and saw Daryl's crossbow but no Daryl.

"Aaron's house" She remembered as she grabbed her jacket and his crossbow as well as a box of cigarettes that this place had provided and her bottle of whisky.
