Jessica's POV
Holy hell. Merle has probably hit every bump on the road. My ass hurts so bad I'm thinking about chopping it off.
"Okay, we're here." Merle grunted as he stepped out of the truck.
"Was that necessary? To hit every pothole?" Glenn asked as he helped me out of the truck.
"Wouldn't want a perfectly good, 4-wheel truck to go to waste." Merle said smiling at me.
"You realize that Jessica doesn't weigh much, she was practically being thrown everywhere." Glenn added.
"Alright. Stop arguing. Who cares if she hurt her butt?" Andrea whisper/yelled.
"I care." I said turning towards her.
"This is why I said we shouldn't have brought her." Andrea spat, walking towards the store.
"Asshole." I mumbled under my breath.
"She'll lighten up." Glenn told me as we all walked into the store.
"Okay, Merle and I will go look for stuff that matters. While Glenn and.. Jessica go play doctor." She spit out my name like it left a bad taste in her mouth.
"You'll think differently when you or Amy are sick." I informed her.
I starting walking towards the back of the store, but first, I bumped shoulders with Andrea.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Glenn asked me as he searched around for pills.
"Anything really. Alcohol, bandages, gauze, any pills really." I told him.
I found some breathing tubes so I threw them into my bag. You never know what you're going to need.
Glenn was mumbling to himself, but I couldn't quite tell what he was saying.
"Talking to yourself?" I asked as I placed a box of gauze into my bag.
"Something like that." He chuckled. "Should I grab oxycotton?"
"No. That's very bad, it can easily kill a person." I said looking at him.
"Guess it's a good thing you came then." He complimented smiling and setting the pills back down on the shelf.
"And also.. I think we need to talk." He added.
"What about?" I asked throwing two bottles of alcohol into my duffle bag.
"About the first n.. night you got here." He stuttered.
Damn, I knew he was going to bring that up.
"There's nothing to talk about. It was an accident, I was just trying to get back at Rick, you said that yourself." I told him regretfully.
"You're a nice guy and all, but just.. Not my type I guess. And I was already with Rick." I also said.
"It's cool. I get it." He said forcing a smile.
"Glenn don't be like that." I begged him.
"Really Jess. I knew it was too good to be true." He barely whispered.
Why do I have to feel so bad?
I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him.
After a minute he leaned into my touch and returned the hug.
"Why do you have to be so perfect?" He asked after a moment.
I chuckled and stepped away from him.
"It's a super power." I said sarcastically
"I wonder if they've had any luck finding food." Glenn wondered out loud..
"Put your hands up!" I heard a man's voice yell.
"Alright, alright." Merle's strong voice responded.
"Is there anyone else with you?" The man asked.
I couldn't see them, but I had confidence that they wouldn't give us up, cause that would be stupid right?
"Yes." Andreas timid voice said.
"Where?" The man asked again, I heard footsteps coming towards us.
"In the back." Andrea said.
"Glenn." I whispered and he looked just as worried as me.
"Come here." He whispered pointing under a table.
I crawled under it and he followed me.
"I'm scared." I whispered as the footsteps got closer.
"Shh. It's going to be okay." Glenn whispered putting an arm around me.
Of course Andrea would give up my position.
I know she hates me, but why out Glenn in danger.
The door to the pharmacy swung open and three pairs of feet entered.
"I know there's two of you. If the girl comes out, I'll let the other one go." A deep voiced boomed through the room.
Glenn was desperately shaking his head at me.
I can't put anyone else in danger.
I stepped out from the desk and faced the men.
"She was right, she is hot." One man said stepping towards me.
I took two steps backwards.
"Don't be scared. We ain't ganna kill ya. Not yet anyways." Another voice shot at me.
I could feel a burning anger started to erupt in me. How dare Andrea give me up! And out Glenn's life in danger too.
I'm going to kill her.
"Let's go. If you don't fuss, I'll let your friends go." The lead guy spoke.
I quickly looked at the desk, then out the window to see Merle and Andrea kneeling on the floor, with a gun pointed at them.
Should I go? I'd be leaving the group behind, my family. But I would also be saving three lives.
"Fine." I said just over a whisper.
The man gave me a crooked smile. "Good. Now let's go." He said and I shrunk at his tone.
"Grab her." The man said and then two hand grabbed my arms, two men grabbed either arm and started dragging me forward.
When we got to where Merle and Andrea were they stopped.
"Say good-bye to your friends sweetie."
The man told me as he caressed my cheek.
"You don't fucking touch her." Merle
Growled.
I looked at Andrea and she looked terrified, guilt was pressed all over her face.
"Is she yours?" The man asked Merle.
His face hardened but he didn't say anything.
"What if I did this?" The man asked as he kissed me on the jaw.
"Mother fucker!" Merle was now restrained and being held against the ground.
"Don't like that?" The man asked Merle with a smile.
He then punched me in the face.
Holy fuck!
"I'll fucking kill you!" Merle screamed.
The man chuckled.
"Now, let go." The man said as the other two men pulled me forward.
All the other men fell into step with us as we reached the door.
I could feel my lip swelling up, and my chin bruising.
We weren't out of the building yet, but I knew it was already too late for me.
A hard object hit me in the back of the head, stupid bastard didn't even hit me hard enough to knock me out, just barely making it hard to walk.
"Jessica!" I could hear Glenn, Merle, and even Andrea yelling my name. I knew it was no use, this was over for me.
I'll never see Rick again, or be able to stick up to Andrea, or talk to Glenn, or hear Merle's stupid pickup lines.
God, if you're listening, please get me out of here. Get me back to my camp and family safe. Please.
I prayed in my head.
Then a gunshot sounded.
