CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: Hard Decisions

*IN THE HOUSE*

Everyone is gathered around the living room to discuss with the group. You and Daryl stand in the middle of the housenlistening but close to the front door

Rick finally walks in with Lori.

"You didn't talk to Nic did you" Rick sighed.
"Did you even want to" she questioned. He looked down upset at himself.
"No. I knew she would change my mind and I didn't want that. I just want to get this over with"

"But Rick, what if she could have said something that could change it? Didn't you say he saved her"

"Look lets just go inside" Rick said walking into the house. Lori sighed and followed along.

Carl was behind you guys wanting to hear. Rick looks at him. Carl sighs and walks away.

"so how do we do this? Just take a vote?" Glenn asked.
"Does it have to be unanimmous?" Andrea followed up.
"How bout majority rules?" Lori finished.

You looked at the floor and stepped in front of Daryl so he was behind you. He smirked and thought of an idea but got nervous.

"Well lets just see where everybody stands, we can talk through the options" he said looking at you. You get nervous and look away. Shane sighs.

"I see it one way, its to move forward-"
"Killing him?!" Let me finish.

But I see it another way. Does anyone want to agree with me on that?" he said looking at you.

"Good grief why the hell yall lookin at me for?!" you snapped getting annoyed. Shane chuckled.

"Anyway, look why even bother taking a vote? its clear which way the wind blowing."

"well if people believe we should spare him I wanna know" you suddenly gulp scared to say but you promised Randall you would try.

You started to tense up getting nervous. Daryl noticed and he thought his idea would calm you down but didn't know.

He comes close to you where you feel his front side on your back getting really close making your stomach turn. You turn around and he backs up pulling his head to the floor.

"you okay dude?" you asked. He wanted to do something but was scared. The others continued.

"Well I can tell you its a small group. Maybe just me and Glenn" Dale said.

Daryl slowly picked his hands up and hovered them on your hip but back away. Your heart shot back. You look over at Glenn and he hesitates.

"Look I think you're pretty much right about everything all the time but this-"
"they've got you scared!" Dale snapped.

Daryl started pacing back and forth a bit thinking hard.
"Dude what is up?" you said getting irritated. He stuttered.
"uh-hu" you look away.
"he's not one of us!" Glenn said.
"but he could be" you mumbled a little too loud.

They all looked back at you and Daryl shot his head up. You shoot your head up.

"Whad'ya mean Nic?" Rick asked.
"uhhhhh-" you stood there not knowing what to say.
"Yeah Nic, what did you mean?" Dale followed Rick calling you out. Daryl widened his eyes.

"Yeah Nic didn't you go visit him? What did you guys talk about, Rick said he saved your life well how?" you couldn't speak on the spot.

Everyone starred at you. Daryl, Izzy, Shane, Carol, and Dekard all looked at you with the same though. What are you gonna do?

"Look guys I-" you couldn't say so you said a little bit. And Randall knew that was gonna happen.

"It doesn't matter how he saved my life just that. We shouldn't kill him I agree with Dale. He's not like them."
"Well how do you know" T-Dog asked the questions grew making you become more nervous.
