Andrea never when all "She made her choice" because she never had to make that choice since she wanted to keep living because Amy is still alive, so she never tried to stay behind at the CDC

Chap 14

BPOV

Turned out Lori took my car as Carol so politely informed me. She must've snatched the keys from my bag while I was washing my hands to stitch up Beth. I still had a lot of stuff in there I wasn't willing to let go just yet. These damn people were getting on my last nerve. Not to mention I was really tired and planning to sleep in the car; I didn't fancy walking all the way back to the other house when it was already getting dark. I sure as hell wasn't going back into the house to ask the ever so wise Maggie Greene for lodging. As I looked to the sky and groaned out, I heard someone approaching from my left.

Of course it was the fabulous Shane coming to make my day even better! "What the hells wrong with you?" he asked. Well look who's trying to be all friendly after busting my face up. "Not that it's any of your concern, but Lori just stole my car to go look for Rick" I stated, figuring I would take the easy way out of this conversation with the truth and limit the sarcasm as Alice had advised. I wasn't quite healed up yet and I really didn't feel like taking a few hits just to break his nose like I wanted to at the moment. When he didn't laugh or have a smart ass remark to say about it I glanced over at him. He had a look that was a mixture of shock and worry on his face, then turned and bolted. Ooookkk….

Since Rick had run off and Lori had stolen my car, I decided find a nice spot to clean my guns to pass the time and keep my mind off how pissed I was. About an hour later, I see headlights turning down the drive and then Shane and Lori getting out of a car that wasn't mine. "Where the fuck is my car?!" I asked waving my arms at the car they drove up in. As I got closer I took in Lori's appearance, "You wrecked it.. didn't you?" I asked resigned while using my pen light to check her pupils. "You have a concussion and need to stay awake for a few hours before getting some rest. You also need to check your underthings for any signs of blood and let Hershel know, when he gets back, if you have any abdominal pain to make sure the baby is ok." I heard a few gasps off to the side at the mention of "baby"… oops, guess no one else knew that. Oh well, bitch just wrecked my car while seeming to have no remorse what so ever. "So where's my car.." I started but was interrupted by Lori "What do you mean when Hershel gets back? Rick went to go look for him, didn't he find him?" she asked worriedly. "Uhh no, Rick or Hershel aren't here and come to think of it I haven't seen Glenn either." I said off handedly, a little confused at the turn around in conversation. "So back to my car... " I started once again, but Lori whipped around faster than I thought someone with a concussion should and glared at Shane "You told me they were back, you lied to me?!" she yelled, slightly hysterical. He looked a little wary and said "I was concerned about you and the baby. You could've died out there!" She whipped back around to the remaining group that was still standing around watching like this was a damn lifetime movie and said "We have to go…" but then she put her hand to her head. The concussion was making her dizzy and she needed to sit down; a few of the group took her inside all while listening to her blab about going into town after them.

I turned to look at Shane and found him watching Lori going inside. "So where is my car?" I asked crossing my arms on my chest. I was glad Lori seemed to be fine but it didn't do anything for the rage that was building up inside of me. I wanted my stuff from my mother's car and I was going to get an answer one way or another. He turned and sneered at me "O Fuck off, it was just a car. Get lost and go find another" as he went to walk away. I stepped in front of him blocking his exit and asked again "Where the fuck is it Shane?" I demanded once again. The vain on his forehead was making a comeback as he clenched and unclenched his fist. "Well I'll just go ask Lori then.." trailing off as he grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. "You stay the hell away from Lori. You best watch yourself girl before you disappear. No one around here is going to care if you just don't show back up one day" He threatened. "O you mean like you did before?" I asked, yanking my arm from his hold, "Going to kill me to save yourself like you've done before?" He dropped his arm back to his side and had a shocked look on his face "O yea, I know allll about that" I said, bluffing. I only knew what Alice had told me, that he had sacrificed someone to save himself but that was it. The look of shock was replaced by anger and he said in a low voice "I'll feed you to the walkers just like I did him" and started to come at me when a voice from the darkness said "I would'n do that if I was you."

Daryl stepped out of the shadows with his crossbow raised and pointed at Shane. Damn he was quiet, I didn't even hear him. "This little bitch.." started Shane, but stopped when Daryl gripped his bow higher and flexed his finger next to the trigger stepping closer. "Tell 'er what she wants ta know" Daryl prodded. "FINE! It's up the road to the right about 3 or 4 miles" he shouted as he turned and stalked off. Daryl lowered his crossbow and turned his piercing blue eyes to me "Girl, ya got some balls to keep fuck'n with 'em after what he's already done ta ya." I looked at him for a moment, and then pulled my pants away from my stomach looking down and turned back to look at him "Nope, I don't have any balls. Thank you for the help Daryl. I'm Bella Swan by the way" I said holding out my hand to shake his.

He snorted slightly at the ball joke and looked at my hand for a second before he reached out to shake it "Daryl Dixon" he mumbled out. His hand was rough and callused but gentle as he shook mine, and my hand seemed to glow with its paleness compared to his tanned skin. His blue eyes gleamed in the darkness as I tilted my head back to smile at him. Then my mind betrayed me soon followed by my body. I started to think of how his rough hands would feel upon my body and low and behold I could feel my face heating up into what was sure to be a fire engine red blush. I looked down slightly trying to hide the blush as I released his hand "Nice to meet you Daryl Dixon" I said stupidly. Not like we hadn't already met before Bella... Stupid, Stupid, Stupid…. I saw his lip twitch as if he could hear my inner monologue, and did a slight nod with his head.

"Well, thanks again for your help with the Shane situation, I got to go find my car and see if I can salvage anything" I told him getting ready to leave this embarrassing situation. My mind just seemed to go haywire when he was around and my hormones were firing on all cylinders. I had been so used to suppressing them around the wolves and the Cullen's to prevent some embarrassing moments that I forgot what it was like to be turned on. Really though, they can smell everything. EVERYTHING. I had been at first beach watching the wolves play football when Leah came to sit by me and said "Geez Swan, I know they're hot but turn that shit off. I don't need to smell that." I'm sure you could've lit a fire on my face that day as I squeezed my legs shut and turned to her "WHAT?!" I hissed in a whisper. "You all can smell that and no one's ever told me before?!" "Come on Bella, they are all guys, they like it. And the imprinted ones just don't want to embarrass you and get the wrath from their imprint." She paused for a moment and said "I'm surprised you don't already know, if we can smell it then that means so can the ..." She stopped as I jumped to my feet and started pacing back and forth saying "Oh my God" over and over again. Then I ran to my truck and went home. I picked up my phone to text Alice to ask if they could smell things like that but before I could even send it, I had a text from her "Yes Bella, We can smell you. Jasper can also feel your emotions too if you forgot. There is no need to be embarrassed; you're not the only one that does it. Though I must say I should be jealous how often it happens around my husband, but we both know it's his sexy accent. Plus it's a good ego boost for him" she'd said with a winky face at the end. Let's just say from that day on my hormones where on lock down. I had turned to start walking up the drive when he suddenly asked "Wanna Ride?"

Sorry it took so long. I wrote this chapter then had to rewrite the whole thing because I thought it was terrible. Thank you for all the reviews!
