Rick POV
I hadn't noticed really how pretty Jenna was, and at that moment when I walked in to see her making Carl laugh, a sound I haven't heard for awhile, I went into a trance.
I sat on her bed and placed my hand on her knee. When I looked into her beautiful green eyes it felt perfect, I started leaning in to kiss her when she pulled away just when our lips had just barley brushed up against each others.
I snapped out of it. How could I try to do that? Lori was right downstairs, Daryl was in the room across from here, how stupid was I?
"Jenna.. I.." But she didn't say anything, just grabbed some clothes from her drawer and left.
God dammit, what was I supposed to do now?
Jenna POV
Rick was just about to kiss me, I could feel his breath on my face when he leaned in, just when his lips were about to touch mine I pulled away.
How could he do that? And how could I almost let him? I quickly stood up, grabbed some clothes and scrambled out of the room. I flew past Daryl and Maggie on the way to the bathroom.
I closed the door and locked it behind me, "jenna? Are you okay?" I heard maggie ask.
I had to think of an excuse, "uh.. Ya I'm fine, just really need to brush my.. Uh.. Hair."
I heard the question in her voice, "ok." She laughed, "have fun with that." Then I heard another knock on the door,
"go away rick!" I said loud enough for whoever it was to hear me.
"It's not rick." I heard a heavy accent say. I quickly put my new clothes on and opened the door.
"Sorry, I thought you were someone else." I explained to Daryl.
"Why'd you run out of your room so fast? And why did you assume it was rick at the door?" He had a stern look on his face. I just turned around and pulled my long hair from my bun. I brushed through it then put a fishtail braid in it to the side.
"I'm not playing Jenna." He said crossing his arms.
"It's none of your business." I said pushing past him, but it was no use, he grabbed my arm and closed the door.
"Daryl, I promised Carl I would.." He cut me off.
"Don't fucking lie to my Jenna, what did you do with rick?" He was standing over me, but I held my ground.
"I didn't do anything! He tried to kiss me but I didn't let him. It was an honest mistake, he didn't mean to." Daryl's face turned into pure hatred.
"He tried to kiss you?" He asked.
I sighed, "yes but please don't tell anyone, there isn't a need to pull him and Lori apart." I tried to reason with him but he was just ignoring me.
"This isn't ok Jenna." He started pacing back and forth,
"it isn't a big deal, we didn't actually kiss." He turned back to me,
"were you going to kiss him? If he didn't pull away?" I could see a slight look of hurt in his eyes,
"I was the one who pulled away, so no, I wouldn't have kissed him. Why are you getting so worked up about this?" I asked him. He looked at the ground then up to me.
"Because I thought, ya know," but I didn't, I didn't know what he was trying to say.
"No Daryl, I don't know." He sighed.
"I thought we was something, me and you." He was biting his thumb nail, like he did when he was nervous. I couldn't help but smile.
"So you're jealous? You thought I liked rick, right?" He looked at me then shook his head,
"I wasn't jealous." He said. I giggled.
"Whatever dixon." I opened the door and Carl immediately ran up to me.
"Can we go now?" I nodded my head.
"Okay Carl, I'm ganna drive to a place about an hour away from here, that gives us two hours to get supplies, then an hour to get back." Carl rolled his eyes.
"Why do we only have four hours?" I shrugged and nodded towards rick,
"oh c'mon dad!" Carl pleaded,
"no Carl, four hours at the most, but I'll give Jenna half an hour leeway incase there's trouble." Rick handed Carl a watch,
"be back by three okay?" Carl nodded and hugged his dad. I gave rick a slight nod before heading out, rick followed us outside.
"I'm sorry about earlier." He whispered.
"Don't worry about it, I'll still look after Carl." I pointed towards the car that Carl was already sitting shotgun in. Rick gave me a small hug then went back inside, then Daryl came outside.
"Daryl I have to.." But he pressed his lips against mine. I felt butterflies as he pulled away,
"please come back." He almost asked.I smiled and nodded.
Once I pulled up to a small building me and Carl walked over to the big boarded up double doors, "okay Carl, I want you to hit the window three times." He nodded and did so.
No walkers came towards us. I shrugged and opened the doors, I walked in first then Carl followed me.
Holy shit there was food and supplies everywhere. "Carl, grab as much as you can." He smiled and then a look of horror came over his face, "what's wrong buddy." I asked then heard a deep voice talk from behind me.
"She's mine." I instantly tensed up, I remembered that I left the keys in the car, I looked towards the car then at Carl. I guess he got the hint because he rushed for the door, the man went to run after him but I hit him with the butt of my gun. The man whipped backwards and smacked me across the face.
I heard the car start and a small piece of relief rushed over me. Carl actually showed me this place so he will know how to get back to the prison safe.
Once I saw the little green car pull away the large man turned back to me, "well you're a pretty one aren't you?" He took a step towards me and I took a step back.
He took another small step towards me but a pair of hands grabbed my shoulders, I tensed up and turned my head. "She'll do just fine." The man said in a gruff voice.
I didn't know what was going to happen, were they going to kill me? Kidnap me? Rape me? I had no idea. I didn't have any time to think either because the butt of a gun hit me in the back of my head, knocking me out.
Carl POV
As soon as I saw the prison gate I sped up, almost running into them. Dad ran up and hugged me while Daryl towered over me.
"Where the fuck is Jenna?" I cleared my throat.
"We got to this store, and there was a lot of food there. She told me to grab as much as I could when I man walked up behind her and said that she's his now. She motioned for me to leave so I did, I can bring you there if you want?" Daryl grabbed me by the back of my shirt and pushed me into the backseat of the car, my dad got in the front as I buckled my seat belt.
I started leading them to where the store was. I couldn't stop thinking about how I just left, what if they kill her? Or what if they torture her to see where the camp is? What if they rape her? That was a shitty thing for me to do, I just left, I was so scared.
I know she would have been mad if I had stayed though, plus I wouldn't have been able to bring the group here to find her again. I hope she's alive.
When Daryl eventually speeds up in front of the building I said "stop, this is the place." Daryl slams on the breaks and runs out, not even bothering to close the car door.
All the food is gone, oh no.
We all search around for awhile. "Carl!" I hear my dad yell. "I thought you said this place was filled with food, it looks deserted." He crosses his arms and Daryl walks up behind him.
"This is the place, I promise." We all took one last look around and my dad finds a note.
"Daryl come here." He calls and Daryl is almost immediately by his side. The note reads
- if you even want to see your bitch again, I want all of your weapons, food and supplies. We will be back here tomorrow morning. I have people and weapons so don't try anything. She's pretty, we might just have fun with her first.
I thought Daryl was going to explode, his face was bright red. "Let's go." He growled and neither me nor my dad argued, we just got in the car and drove back to the prison.
