Author's Note: I just realized that I specified season two episode two but when Mel was talking to the group, she said things about episode three instead. I'm trying to follow the story line as much as possible, sorry for the mix up. The rest of the chapters should line up pretty well with the episodes from now on.
The next morning when I woke up, I refused to open my eyes. I really, really, really hoped it was all just a dream. But when I opened my eyes, I was exactly where I had been last night. How the hell was I supposed to get home?
I slowly sat up and put my shoes back on. I stepped out into the hallway and headed downstairs.
"Good mornin'." Beth said cheerfully.
"Yeah." I huffed. I was pretty sure my face was still puffy from last night and all I wanted to do today was was cry. Beth motioned for me to sit down but I shook my head.
"No, I've been cooped up in here too long, I'm going to go outside and take a walk."
"Okay, but be careful." Beth warned. "If you go near the fences, take someone with you just in case." I nodded and left the house.
"Oh hey, you're up." Glenn said. He had been sitting in the rocking chair on the porch. "Can you run?"
"Huh?"
"Can you run, like, are you a fast runner?"
I stared at him for a moment. "Uh, yeah, I'm in track. Well, I was in track, anyway. I'm a sprinter and a long distance runner which isn't common."
Glenn smiled, "Good. Maggie and I are going into town and I wanted to see if you wanted to come."
"Uh..."
"It'll be fine, I promise. Besides, you need to learn how things are done now."
"So you believe me? About the TV show thing, I mean?"
Glenn thought for a moment before he replied. "I don't not believe you. You said a lot of stuff last night you couldn't have known."
"But you don't believe me believe me either." He looked pained, like he knew what I wanted to hear but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"It's okay." I said. "I wouldn't believe me either if I was you."
He smiled again. "So will you come with me and Maggie later?"
"Maybe." I said, actually considering it. "Ask me before you leave and maybe I'll have changed my mind." Glenn nodded and I stepped off the porch and onto the lawn.
