Andrea's POV
Shane lies here in my arms shaking he's burning up with a fever He has some kind of flu I'm afraid he is going to die if he doesn't get help soon. It's been 8 months
since we left the farm we knew it was for the best Shane knew if he stayed he would have killed Rick so did I ever since Rick had shown up you could tell there was
tension between them and it wasn't all just about Lori.
I look down at his face he's very pale sweat pouring off of him his once shaved head now full with hair his face once smooth now has a beard. I feel a tear run down
my cheek I know I have to go find help but where was I to go and leaving him here alone like this pretty much telling the walkers "Come and get it" If anything were
to happen to him I don't know what I would do. I sigh and look out the window of the tiny shack they had found, it was very tiny but it was shelter I see the sun
coming up I know today is the day I have to try to find help even though my guts say "Stay here with him don't leave him" I have no choice I lightly put him on the
floor he's eyes open they are very bloodshot I just feel like breaking down seeing him like this. "Where are you going?" Shane asks. I say "I'm going to go find some
help you need medicine and fast I promise I will be back" I see tears in his eyes I know he doesn't want me to go but he knows I have too "Ok but please come back
un harmed no matter what" He says. I nod and kiss him even though I know I can catch whatever he has but I don't really care he kisses back "I love you Shane ". "I
love you too Andrea". I grab my knife and open the door I look back at him with tears in my eyes this once strong fearless man now lies on the floor barely able to
move it breaks me in two I close the door and begin to walk not sure where but who knows I might accidentally run upon someone…. Alive and Human I hope. I have
been walking for at least an 1 hour now so far nothing not even a walker which is a huge relieve I keep thinking about Shane "Is he still alive? "Have walkers got
him?" My mind raced with these thoughts I was getting ready to turn back when in a small clearing of trees "A prison" I whispered to myself I observe the prison
thinking it was empty then I spot someone in the tower. "Doesn't look like a walker unless they can carry guns now" I say to myself I smile Hoping they would help us
I ripped my sleeves off tearing them into tiny pieces tying them to trees so I can remember where to go I run back to the shack finally after an hour of running I see
the shack but before I reach it I stop dead in my tracks. I see two walkers sniffing around the shack "No no" I say under my breath I see one walker go behind the
shack I run up on it kicking it to the ground then stabbing it in the head I get up and kick it just to make sure then I see the other one coming right at me I throw my
knife at its head perfect shot the walker falls to the ground. I grab my knife from its head and quickly enter the shack I sigh with relieve seeing he's still alive barley
anyway "Shane come on I found a place they might be able to help us" He moans "Andrea I can't I'm too weak go without me" "No Shane I'm not leaving you come
on please" I try to help him on his feet but as soon as he is on his feet he collapses I feel tears forming in my eyes from the sadness and frustration "Please Shane
please baby you can do this" I say to him. He looks up at me and nods He slowly stands shaking I put his right arm over my shoulders we slowly start to walk I know
this was going to take way more than an hour to get there but I knew this would be worth it four hours later, 20 breaks and 6 walkers killed we finally reach the
clearing I see my sleeves on the trees I had tied earlier I smile. "Were here Shane" I look at him I knew he wouldn't be alive much longer he let out a sigh of relieve
we slowly make our way to the prison were at the front gate "Stop!" Says a man in a prison uniform he then pulls out a walkie talkie telling someone to come down
here "Please were aren't bit or anything he's very sick he needs antibiotics I think he has some kind of flu please" I plead He doesn't even move. I then hear the
walkie talkie go off someone says "Don't let them in" He nods and shoos his hand toward us I begin to cry "Please please you can't do this to us" I begin yelling now.
He walks away I start to sob I slowly turn around we got four feet when Shane collapse to the ground. "Shane no god no Shane" I scream over and over I hadn't notice a man had come out of the prison. "Shane?" Says the man I look up to see him my jaw drops "It can't be it can't" I say. "It is" He says.
Shane's POV
I slowly begin to wake wondering where I am and if I was even alive the last thing I remember is collapsing to the ground after that it's blank I let my eyes adjust it
takes a few minutes before I can clearly see. I look around and see four concrete walls, a toilet, sink and a wooden desk. "Where the hell am I?" "Your safe" I look
over and see Andrea coming in you can tell the worrying had gotten to her looks like she hadn't slept in a while I slowly try to sit up Andrea comes over and helps me
I couldn't believe how weak I was. Finally I was sitting up then I notice the prison door "I'm in a prison cell?" I ask "Yes but don't worry Officer Walsh you aren't
locked up" she says with a grin I chuckle a little "Officer Walsh I haven't heard that in a while" I say to myself Andrea comes and sits next to me she puts her head on
my shoulder. "Thank you Andrea for everything" She smiles and looks up into my eyes "Anytime" I lean in and capture her lips with mine she puts her arms around
my neck before anything could happen she stops me "The people here would like to meet you" I smile "Ok" She helps me to my feet I notice I'm not shaking like I
used to we slowly make it to what looks like the prison hall. "I got it from here" I say she nods I follow her a few feet look to see who was nice enough to let us in I
fall to my knees in shock "R…Rick?" I was stunned he reaches his hand out to help me stand I grab it and I was immediately pulled into a hug I just couldn't believe
it. "I can't seem to get rid of you can I Shane" Rick says with a smile I chuckle "No I guess not" I say with a grin I pull back to see Carl and Lori "Shane is that really
you!?" Carl says running over to me he runs right into me knocking me over I laugh "Yea it's me bud it's me" Carl begins to cry a little so do I. "I thought I would
never see you again" I tell him "Me too" Carl says. "Carl" I hear Lori say Carl looks at his mama then looks at me "Go on bud go to your mama don't worry I'm not
going anywhere anytime soon" He smiles and runs back to Lori. I get back up and see Lori staring at me in shock I look at her stomach looks like she is getting ready
to pop any minute I give her a nod she gives one back both of us have no idea what to say to each other. Then I see the rest of the group come in Daryl, Beth,
Maggie, Glenn, Hershel, Coral, I sigh with relieve seeing a lot of them had made it. "Well well well looks what the cat dragged in" Daryl says. "Nice to see you too Daryl" I say with a grin. "Want something to eat?" Rick says to me "Sure I could use a little something".
