Never Wake The Dead (TWD Fanfic)

**Chapter 16-The CDC**

                 {Jade's P.O.V.}
        I wake up as usual embraced in Daryl's arms, I sit up and my rib screams at me, "Shit" I mumble, "Are ya ok?" he asks, "Yeah, just my ribs" I lie, it's a lot more than my ribs, my face hurts, my head hurts, my shoulder, everything hurts. Then it clicks we lost Amy, I go back into a stage of shock, I'm dreaming, I quietly get up and leave the tent to see for myself, she is sitting by the fire, I run into her arms, "I thought you were dead" I sob into her hair, "No, why would you think that?" she asks, "Jade? Dammnit Jade wake up"!?!? I hear screaming and look around. The ground shakes beneath me and I look at Amy, she looks mortified, "Jade, I love you" she says before crumbling to a pile of dust, "No!!!!" I scream.

        I wake up gasping for air, Daryl's arms wrapped around me, his face full of concern, I free myself from his arms and get off the hammock, I need to know if she's alive. I run to the RV, people giving me concerned looks, I rip the door of the RV open to find Andrea and Shane laying together on the joined bed in the back, I grab Shane up by his shirt collar and drag his sleepy ass outside, I throw him on the ground, "Stay away from her you pig!" I scream, "AMY!" I scream and walk around the camp looking for her, "Jade, can I talk to you a minute" Rick says softly, "You want to tell me something?!" I shout, "Amy, she-she's gone" he says, I can't control myself, I pull out my gun and aim it at Shane's head, "It's your fault, you asshole!" I scream and Rick aims his gun at my head, Daryl comes to my defense and aims his crossbow at Rick, "Rick, How can you let him live?!?!" I ask, "He's the cause of all this mess and your just gonna let him live and walk around the camp like nothing happened, if he wouldn't have let his selfishness get to him, he would've never aimed a gun at your head, and I wouldn't have witnessed it, and none of this shit would've happened. Amy would still be alive" I shout, "Shane isn't your best friend, not anymore, Rick, this world has changed him, for the worse" I say, "Your sister would've died anyways, she's not fit for this world. Poor little innocent Am-" I interupt Shane form his crude remark by tackling him and one after another pounding my fists into wherever I can hit him.

         Daryl tries to pull me off but the rage in my body allows me to just shake him off and throw a few more punches, "You  selfish savage bastard!" I scream as Daryl, Rick, and T-Dog drag me off of Shane, "Let go of me!" I scream, they set me down beside a tree, I get up and walk over to Amy's grave, I slump to my knees, I lean over and rest my head on my crossed arms and silently cry. I miss you Amy, I miss you so much, I didn't mean to leave you and Andrea, I love you both dearly, You deserved so much more in this world than what you got. Your so kindhearted, and sweet. You didn't deserve this. I love you. I hope you watching down on us, I love you I say a silent forgive me prayer and then I lay there staring at the dirt, I hear footsteps shuffling towards me, and a few minutes later a hand lays on my shoulder, I jerk away and stand up, "Don't touch me" I say softly, I know I shouldn't say that to Daryl. That's a little harsh, But I'm so hurt, so lost, so confused. I hate this world and by the looks of it, the people in it are slowly going insane.

                       {Daryl's P.O.V.}
             I silently walk over to her and lay a hand on her shoulder, she jerks away and stands up before quietly saying, "Don't touch me" it broke my heart to see her like this. Bruises all over his face and her eyes so blood shot from tears, her cheeks searing red, I want to hug her and absorb all of her pain, but I can't and it kills me inside to see her like that, "We have to go" I say and look at her trying to make eye contact, she nods and takes one last look at Amy's grave before walking away.

       We've been driving for quite some time when we arrive at this huge dome shaped building. I have to wake Jade, but I don't want to, she needs rest and she can actually find some peace while she's sleeping, unless she has a nightmare. The whole caravan stops, "Shit" I mumble under my breath, "Jade?" I say quietly, her eyes flutter open, "Hey, we're here" I say, she looks at me, her beautiful carmel eyes stare into mine, "Daryl, I'm sorry for snapping on you earlier" she says, I smile, "It's ok. Your hurt, I understand" I say, "I Love you" she says, this takes me by surprise. "I love you too" I say and we grab our crossbows and head out.
