Ann and Lori got into a fight the next day. Lori had yelled something to her and Ann had slapped her so hard that she went down. Something about not pulling her weight around and slowing everyone down with her depressed moods. Shane followed Ann as she stormed away from the camp. He grabbed her elbow stopping her from getting all the way of the grounds.
"Dammit Ann! What da hell was that about?" He snapped at her angrily.
"I have had enough. Of. That. Woman's. ABUSE!" Ann growled venomously at him.
"She was voicing her opinion! And ye struck her! How was saying ye should help out more abuse?"
"Of course you didn't hear the rest. Ya came inta the fight after her words were said!" Ann bit out angrily and tried to storm off again. Shane gripped her elbow again stopping her from leaving once more. Ann spun around on him and he saw the anger in her eyes, the betrayal and the hurt.
"I jus have one question!" She sniffed angrily. "Why'd ya even save me?" Ann tested the strength of Shane's hold. "Why'd ya even bother?" She tested it again but it was still a death grip. "I wish ya had jus left me there." Ann admitted sadly and saw the horror enter Shane's eyes.
"Ya can't mean that…" His voice came out breathless like she had punched him.
"At least I'd be with mah brother!" Ann's accent came out thicker because the anguish she felt. "Take a look around ya Shane!" Ann yelled acidly. "I got nothing! Nobody! NO FRIENDS! NO FAMILY!"
"But you are surviving with us…" Shane tried to sound positive.
"You think this is me surviving?" Ann's eyes took on a dead expression. "This ain't me survivin' Shane." Ann sighed so tiredly. "This is me just waitin until I finally git tired o livin." She slid her arm out of his grasp. "And I gotta say…" She looked back at him. "That might happen sooner rather than later." She finished and walked away from the camp. Shane stared at her in mute horror and walked back into the camp.
Shane noticed the looks everyone was giving him as he walked through camp. When he looked over at them they quickly went back to what they were doing. Pretending that they hadn't heard the whole damn thing. He walked over Lori who was hanging up some of Carl's laundry.
"What did ya say to her Lori?" He asked dangerously.
"You heard what I said ta her!" Lori bit out defensively. "Not my fault if she can't stand to take responsibilities!"
"Lori Grimes tell me what ya said ta her or so help me GOD!" Shane knew Lori was withholding info.
"I might have said her depressed moods were slowing everyone down…"
"JESUS! What the hell's da matta with you?" Shane exploded on her angrily. "I know ya don't like her! But treating her like this is not only disrespectful but it's downright stupid!" Shane walked away angrier than he had ever felt. Lori looked over at the others who just kind of turned their noses up at her and went back to their own tasks. Lori set her jaw and finished doing Carl's laundry before she started on her own.
