Shy

Leaving Chapter 10

We're leaving. We're leaving. I don't know how I feel about this. I pack up my small bag and nervously bite my nails. A hand gently slaps my fingers away. " Yer gonna ruin yer teeth. " Daryl mumbles. 

I blush and pick up my bag. " Sorry. " 

" Come on Jesse. We gotta go. " Daryl leads me to the RV. " Yer gonna ride with Glenn and Dale. " 

" Do I have to? " I ask nervously. I still don't completely trust everyone here. 

" Yeah, ya do. " I don't argue and walk into the RV. I sit at the table and lay my head sleepily on the table. I hear Jimmy groan in pain from the back of the RV.

I take a deep breath to calm me down. I don't know why I'm nervous. I know I have no idea why I've become so attached to Daryl. I haven't even known him very long. I guess he's just very nice.

My shoulder is slightly shaken. I jump up and scoot back. Glenn backs away a bit. " Sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you. We're stopped to say goodbye to Jim. "

" Oh. " I nod and swallow. I follow far behind him out of the RV. Daryl stretches a bit and talks to Rick. I walk up to where everyone set Jim. " Hi. " I say softly.

" Hey. " Jim sweats and looks like he's in a ton of pain.

" I'm sorry Jim. " I hug him and my eyes water. " I know I haven't known you long, but you are a very good guy. " I whisper sadly.

" Don't worry kid. I'll get to see my family soon. " Jim lets out a breath. " You're a good girl. Don't let this world bring you down. "

" Bye Jim. " I say sadly. I kiss Jim's forehead and hug him one last time.

Jim leans against the tree behind him with a small smile. I blush as I notice everyone watching us.

I hurriedly walk over to the RV and lean against it biting my nails slightly. I look at my shoes as I kick a stone into the grass. " Don' bite yer nails girl. " I jump and Daryl chuckles.

" Sorry. " I mumble with a small blush.

" I heard someone was sleepy in the RV. "

I blush again. " Uhm. I, uh, I fell asleep. "

" Come on everyone. We're goin'. " Rick gets in his car and I turn back to Jim. I wave slightly and Jim waves back. A gun is by his hands.

" Bye Daryl. " I quietly get into the RV.
