"What was what?" I asked. He looked at be oddly like he was not used to my voice.
"Sticking up for Daryl? Since when do you not have my back? And when did you start talking?" He asked his mood shifting a bit.
"Okay well first off I would have had your back if you were being reasonable but you weren't and Daryl has been out there looking for Sophia. How many times did you go out looking?" I asked and he was quiet. "Dose it really matter when?" I asked.
"Reasonable?" Shane laughed. "There is a barn full of flesh eating killer walkers just a few feet from where we sleep!" He yelled.
"And how many have gotten out?" I asked.
"Just a matter of time!"
"Not your call!" I yelled back. "For once can you just..." I paused. "Stop trying to control everything just for like a day Shane." I sighed.
"Juliet, there are walkers in the barn! It could only take one of them to whip out this entire camp. You can't seriously tell me you are okay with this!"
"It doesn't matter what I think." I sighed looking up to my brother. Shane rolled his eyes. "Shane, we are guests here. Just let it be." I looked up. " Please." I smiled.
I started to walk away. " Where are you going?" He asked.
"I thought I would go check the highway. Maybe Sophia made it back." I shrugged.
"No." Shane shook his head. "I need you to just stay put." He said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because last time you went chasing after that girl you were separated from us and could have died." he said putting and arm around me. "If I have to shut my mouth about the barn then you have to stay here." He said. I sighed as we walked back to camp. I watched as people looked around. Andrea came from the RV and her and Shane shared a glance then a nod.
"How long you two been sleeping together?" I asked with a laugh.
"What?" Shane asked shaking his head.
"Oh my God!" I pushed him away with a laugh. "Seriously. What are you trying to do, repopulate the whole damn earth?" I asked as we sat near the fire and Glenn handed me something to eat.
"Will you shut up." Shane nudged me.
"Fine." I rolled my eyes at him.
"I gotta go talk to Rick and Lori. I'll be back." Shane said once he noticed the two of them walking toward the house. I tried to stop him but he didn't listen.
"Your brother is dangerous Juliet." Dale's voice came from behind me. Glenn looked down and tried to look busy.
"That what you think?" I asked turning away from Dale.
"It's what I know." he said. "You should be careful around him."
"He's my brother Dale." I laughed still not looking at him.
"That isn't going to stop him from killing you." Dale said and I stood quickly.
"What?" I asked turning around dropping my food. I was a bit taller than Dale but not by much. When I stood he looked up and saw how pissed I was. "You saying Shane is a murderer?" I asked.
"Only a matter of time." Dale sighed. "Hell he's done it before." Dale said as I started to walk away. "You heard about Otis?" I turned slightly.
"Otis was killed by walkers." I shook my head.
"Shane tell you that?" Dale asked.
"Okay Dale, I'm gonna say this nicely because I like you. I can tell you and Shane don't get alone but don't be throwing around accusations you can't back up. All Shane has ever done was what was necessary or good for the group. You don't know my brother like I do." I shook my head. "So don't pretend you do." I sighed walking away.
Honestly I don't even know if I agreed with Dale or not. I mean sure Shane could be dramatic and a hot head but he isn't a killer. Shane wasn't the same as before but he was still my brother. He wouldn't hurt anyone unless they deserved it.
I was headed back to my tent when I saw Daryl and Carol coming from the pond. His eyes were down as Carol spoke. I smiled at them. Carol looked up and saw me. Her smile flashed even bigger and she nodded at me. I was going to talk to them when Carl ran into me.
"Whoa." I stumbled a bit. "Carl what are you doing?" I asked with a laugh.
"Mom said I had to do those stupid math problems." he sighed. "I thought you could get me out of them."
"Carl!" Lori called from over by a tree. I had noticed Shane walking away from her a minute ago. I looked over at her.
"Well let's see what I can do." I smiled as Carl grabbed my hand and we walked over to Lori.
"Carl did I not tell you to do something?" Lori asked not even looking at me.
"But mom-"
"No buts." Lori shook her head.
"Juliet?" Carl nudged me.
"Oh right." I smiled. "You know your mother is right Carl." His smiled faded. "Should keep busy and get smarter, even if there isn't a school to go to." I laughed and Carl just shook his head.
" You said you were gonna help me."
"Well I can't argue with your mother." I shook my head and Lori huffed. "She is your mother Carl." He sighed and walked over to a stump that had papers on it.
"So unfair." Carl whispered.
Lori and I both laughed a bit then she looked up at me. "You know your brother is a bit out of control."
"Yes I know." I sighed. "Your like the third person to say that." I rolled my eyes. "Just give it a few hours. He'll get over himself." I smiled down at her. She was quiet. "You tell Rick about you and Shane?" I asked and she dropped what she was doing and stared at me.
"Excuse me?" She stood acting all high and mighty.
"You heard me." I crossed my arms. "Did you tell your husband you slept with my brother?" I asked raising my eyebrows.
"Why does that concern you?" She asked shaking her head.
"Because Rick is my friend and he deserves to know."
"My marriage is none's business." She started walking away.
"You cheated on him Lori." I said.
"You know what Juliet!" She yelled spinning around. She bit her lip a bit when she noticed a few of the group members looking up. "You need to keep your loud mouth shut. All it does is get you in trouble." She huffed and started walking away.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked following her into camp. I saw Andrea, Shane and Dale around camp looking our way.
"You know exactly what that means." Lori didn't bother turning around. "Maybe one of these days you will learn to keep your mouth shut and stop acting so childish." She laughed.
"Childish?" I asked shaking my head. "Fine I'm a child." I rolled my eyes.
"Yes you are!" She finally turned around. "You call attention to yourself. You cry for help and when no one listens you shut down." She crossed her arms. "It's like the last few years you have been throwing one major tantrum." She smirked. It was like she was asking to be punched.
"A tantrum?" I asked. "Kinda like what you're doing now?" I smiled.
"Hey." Shane interrupted. Lori looked to him and my eyes just stayed on her. "What the hell is going on?" he asked.
"Nothing." Lori shook her head. "Just do me a favour Shane." She looked to me. " Keep your nosy, loud mouth, and pitiful kid sister away from me." She turned quickly. My mouth dropped and so did anyone's who was listening.
I laughed after. " at least I'm not a jealous Bitch." I smiled and she stopped dead in her tracks.
"Juliet!" Shane snapped at me. I didn't even realize Lori start stomping over to me. I was to busy shocked Shane snapped at me. No one, especially not me saw the right hook Lori through at me coming.
When her fist connected with my face I stumbled back and when I stood to hit her she had the biggest smile on her face. "Lori!" Shane yelled stepping between up.
"You get everything you deserve Juliet." She said just before she stormed off.
