I Hate Loving You - Shane Walsh x Reader (The Walking Dead FanFiction)

Chapter Thirty- The Ring

I pressed my body against the door, everyone else pressed against me. Daryl and I were pressuring right next to one another. Walkers piled up in the other side. Until we heard a series of loud crashes and then nothing. We all finally pulled back and took a large breath.

"Still not dead." I smiled causing everyone to laugh. I let myself fall onto the dirt. I laid down with a smile. "Still not dead." I whispered as Abraham laid down next to me.

"No we are not." Abraham's whisper was the last thing I heard before I fell right to sleep.

Aaron. A stranger claiming to have a community or something. I was to busy pushing Shane away from me to listen. It was a sudden wave of Shane's hands on my waist and holding onto me. A protective instinct hit him the minute Aaron stepped foot into the barn.

"Y/n, you listen to me." Shane was following me as we walked to a spot together. Per Rick's order.

"Shane, leave me alone." I huffed as I kept walking. Shane grabbed my hand and I pulled my gun out and to his head. "Shane, leave me the fuck alone."

"Y/n." Shane slowly let his dropped his hand from me. I lowered my gun and clicked it into my holster. I walked forward into a set of brush. I sat on a fallen tree watching the entrance of the barn. "Y/n, I messed up. I shouldn't have assumed you liked him because you hung out a lot."

"Yeah, I already know that." I kept my eyes locked on the door. Shane was sitting away from me. I grabbed my hand and took off my ring. I held it out for him to take.

"Y/n, don't do this. I love you. Please, baby." Shane's voice turned broken. I knew he was sobbing now. Take it before I start crying.

"Take it." I shot my eyes to his face. Damnit. I looked at him. Shane's face was wet with tears. I felt his hand slip around mine as he took the ring. Tears suddenly shot out of my eyes. I found myself sobbing as I made eye contact with him. "For fucks sake." I turned my head away and put my head in my hands. "Why Shane? Why the fuck did you have to and say that?" I shot my head up and looked him in the eye. I was yelling. "For once, why the hell couldn't you trust me!"

"Y/n, I do- I was jealous."  Shane grabbed my hand. "Baby-"

"No. Shane. You know what I've been through. Everything. Then you just decide that I'm going to jump on the chance to cheat on you? I'm going to go with Abraham, who if you didn't already notice is with Rosita, so I can fuck him. You know, do some hand stuff no strings? Yeah, big fuck you, Shane." The words stung. I looked at the Barn to see the group coming back. I stood up and wiped my eyes. "They're back." I went to walk away but, Shane caught my arm.

"I'm sorry."  Shane whispered as he held onto my arm. I jerked away and shook my head.

"No, no you're not." I walked away and to the barn.

Rick asked me to go with Judith to keep her safe. So, I did. I held onto her as we walked into an RV and I sat down holding her close. Rosita sat next to me, I'd filled her in on everything going on with Shane. She took it into her hands to make sure Shane didn't even try to sit next to me. Carl took the other side and I bounced Judith. It was dark out. I couldn't see much other than Judith's face as she tried to fall asleep. I felt us come to a stop.

"Abraham what's going on?" I called as Rosita stood up. I followed suit Abraham backed up. I clung Judith close.

"Walkers." Abraham called. Judith started to cry so I rocked her and walked into the back. I sat down on the bed and bounced her on my knee.
