Rick's little sister left home and didn't look back. What happens when the things that made her run suddenly became a part of her survival? Some AU later on but you'll see why. Rated M for sex, drugs and violence. I own absolutely none of Walking Dead. With the exception of my OCs in the story, everything belongs to the brilliant Frank Darabount. Please enjoy and review

Claire Grimes has been harboring hidden feelings for her dad's best friend, Shane Walsh, in secret, but now she decides to act on them. Will things change for the worse or for the better when she decides to make her move and will Shane come to share her feelings? (Starts out before the Zombie Apocalypse, but will eventually get there.)
