G.I. Jane

Too Far Gone

Shaylee's POV

"Daryl brought you some clothes." Maggie says as she bites back her laughter

"Oh, he didn't." I say with a small laugh as I see my uniform in her arms

"He couldn't stop laughing as he was handing them to me." Maggie says with a small laugh

"I hate him." I say as I take my uniform from her

"No, ya don't." Maggie says before Glenn steps into the cell

"I'll give you guys a minute." Maggie says before walking out of the cell

"It's crazy to think you were dead just a few short hours ago." Glenn says as we sit down on the edge of the bed

"I know." I mutter

"What'd you see?" He asks before I look over at him

"I saw...I saw my mom, and Lori, and T, and Nate, and even Shane." I say with a small smile

"I also...I also saw Lucah." I say as tears form in my eyes

"What's he look like?" Glenn asks with a big smile

"He...he looks like me when I was little." I say

"He wanted...he wanted me to tell you something." I say

"What's that?" He asks

"He wanted me to tell you to keep taking-- to keep taking care of his mommy for him." I say as tears fall from my eyes

"I would be honored." Glenn says as he drapes his arm over my shoulders and pulls me into his side before he pecks the top of my head

I step out into the courtyard and the Georgia sun beams down on me before I spin around with a big smile on my face

"There's the good ole G.I. Jane." Daryl says with a big smile

"You." I say as I put my hands on my hips and glare at him

"What?" He asks with a light chuckle

"Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?" I ask as I motion towards my uniform

"I missed the classic G.I. Jane look." He says with a playful smile as he walks over to me

"I bet you did." I say with a small laugh

"How ya feelin'?" He asks

"Still feel a little weak, which I guess I can blame my lapse in judgement on that." I say as I look into his eyes

"Whatta ya mean?" He asks with a light chuckle

"I mean this." I say softly before standing up on my tiptoes and connecting our lips in a sweet kiss

"Where'd that come from?" Daryl asks with a soft smile as I pull away from him

"Someone recently told me that it's okay to move on." I say as I drop down off my tiptoes

"So I expect there'll be more of those then?" He asks with a sly smirk

"Maybe." I say with a cheesy grin

"Maybe?" He asks with a smile

"Play your cards right and maybe there will be more." I say with a big smile as I back away from him

"I'm gonna go see Ace. And maybe Carl." I say

"See ya later." He says with a big smile

"Later, Dixon." I say
