I sat staring at the steering wheel for what seemed like hours. I wanted to talk to Daryl and Shane both so bad. All the talking with Casey had stirred up so much in my head and I was missing them both already. I was really wishing I hadn't told Shane I loved him over the phone, it was cowardly of me. I'd never really said that to anyone other than Casey and my little ones. I'd always told Daryl I loved him but I think I always meant it in a familial way not the way I felt for Shane. I can't say that Daryl always heard it that way especially after everything that had happened over the last twenty four hours. After driving through some greasy fast food joint I scarfed my food before finally powering my cell phone backup. The list of texts was a mile long, and I had missed calls from Shane, Daryl, Rick, and AJ (my boss). I listened to AJ's quickly feeling like an idiot that I didn't call or text him to let him know I was bugging out for a bit. I decided to quickly call him to apologize telling him it was a family emergency and promise to call him when I was home. As I was about to hang up I heard a gruff voice and what sounded like a struggle for the phone. Daryl sounded tired and out of breath, "Jenna?" My breath caught in my throat as his voice filtered through my brain, "Hey D." "You didn't answer my calls or anything."I held the tears at bay as best I could, "Yeah I powered down my phone last night just needed quiet to think. It wasn't personal just after Shane called I couldn't handle it anymore. I've been with Casey all day just trying to figure my head out." He chuckled lightly, "Damn you made it all the way to Columbus last night?" "Yeah wasn't intending it but before I knew it I was staring at the correctional facility." Daryl sighed deeply. "Listen Jenna….AJ back off man stop breathing down my neck...sorry." I laughed despite myself AJ was like an old woman when it came to gossip. "Anyway I'm not prying or anything but you know we're going to have to talk about all of this, all three of us." My stomach was doing somersaults as I fiddled with my keys. "I know I just need to get my brain straight first. I might stay out here a couple of days if you don't need the truck back right away. I'm pretty sure I'm coming home but I don't know." I could tell Daryl was pacing around AJ's small office. "Wait what'd you mean you think you're coming back?" "I don't know the thought crossed my mind to just spring Casey and take off. Someone's going to get hurt in all of this and I don't want that. I just don't know what to do, maybe it's best you both just forget about me. You'll both probably be better off. I mean I'm not sure yet I'm just thinking out loud I guess." Daryl sounded panicked as he stumbled over his words. "Jenna now I mean you're coming home. We're not forgetting shit. You, me and deputy do.. Shane need to talk this all over once and for all. If someone gets hurt that's life we can't just run away and pretend it all didn't happen. "I'm not saying pretend it didn't happen or maybe I am I don't know. My brain is so fucked up right now. All this crap with you and Shane. I mean I 've always been able to come to you with anything and you make it all alright but that can't happen now. If I stay with Shane I'll lose you and vice versa so what's pulling me back?"
