That night I went to bed in my tent alone after watching Rick crawl into the one he shared with his wife. I dreamt of squirrels and white tailed deer smothered in gravy. The next morning I woke up to Carl opening my tent. Looking over at him he smiled and then closed the mesh back up. I sat up looking out through the flap, it was raining and everyone was scrambling to get everything packed before it became too soaked. Grabbing my jeans and crossbow, I jumped out of the tent, threw what was in my hand in the car then ran over to pack up my tent. Getting it down and in the trunk in record time, we pilled into the car for what I expected to be a boring day.

There was no sunlight and everything was gray. Lori read in the front seat holding Rick's hand as Carl stared out the window. I couldn't help but to almost feel jealous as I watched their entwined fingers in the embrace. I urgently removed my eyes from the sight and stared out the window. This is bullshit. Whatever is going on with me needs to stop. This is not right. It played over and over in my head forcing me to make a decision. One I didn't want to make.

The rain never let up and a couple hours later it was time to stop and stretch our legs. We stopped off in a small town at a gas station so we wouldn't get wet. Sitting in the car loading my bow Rick gave everyone the be careful and keep your eye out speech while also handing out the guns to Lori and Carl. We all got out at the same time and walked a couple paces from each other. I scanned the area I was facing and saw two walkers coming this way.

"Rick. Two coming up towards us." I looked over at him now that he was standing next to me. His jaw line taut and his eyes never leaving the target.

"Take them down quietly. Then we should probably get out of here." I nodded and walked towards the walker on the left taking aim. Breath. 1, 2, 3. I pulled the trigger and hit my target. Rick was already jogging up to the other. Putting a slug right between it's eyes, he ran back up to me smiling. "We should probably get out of here now." He turned and started jogging back towards the car.

Running up behind him, I couldn't help but to let the anger I feeling out. "Why didn't you do that quietly?" Pushing him up against the car, I stopped and stared at him. "We might hit shit getting out of here now. Why did you waste that bullet?"

He shoved me back violently and started to yell. "Your not the person who decides if I can or cannot use a bullet. Now get in the car before more come." His eyes felt like fire as he stared at me angrily. Going around to the other side of the car Rick got in and started the engine. Lori and Carl filled suit. I looked around for a minute then let out a frustrated growl. Opening the door , I shoved myself inside the car then slammed the door shut.

"Let's get the fuck out of here." Rick and Lori looked back at each other before Rick put the car into gear and started to pull out. We got out of town without seeing another walker. We drove for a couple more hours through the never ending down pour before we reached an interstate. We pulled off on the side before going on. Rick wanted us to check it out before taking Lori, Carl and the car through it.
