Jon made me fucking sick, I hated that prick...I wanted to make him into Walker food. My head is so fucked up right now...Merle thinks I'm goin soft...I ain't goin soft...I just...I don't even fuckin know…

Savannah seemed...I don't know...different to me...She didn't look at me like all those other pricks do. Didn't see me as a redneck with no brains. Treated with respect and kindness even when I pushed her away.

I knew she was hurtin, hurtin inside from that prick...reminded me of my ol man..Fucking piece of trash...Used to beat me senseless and I got the scars to prove it to.

"Hey! Darylina! Get yo ass over ere!" Merle said obnoxiously

I sighed and walked over to him "What do you want Merle?"

"What's got yer panties in a twist huh? Just wanted ta say that I'm going out for a run with a bunch o people to get some supplies"

I rolled my eyes and huffed "Ya sure Merle. Yer a fuckin selfish ass. Like you want to get anything for the group. Looking for fucking dope again?" I crossed my arms and glared at him

"Aye you certainly know me well lil brother. Need something to deal with hanging round these pansies…"

"You're a fucking idiot. No other reason why. Why don't ya fucking do something that isn't for yer fucking self? "

"Geez Darylina ya goin so soft now! Ever since ya been hangin with dat gino girl! Mind ya she is one fine piece ass. You doin er?" Merle smirked

I glared at him "Her name is Savannah dipshit and don't fucking talk bout her that way. At least she fucking is smart"

"Not smart nough to get away from dat stupid ass of a husband shes got"

"Fuck off. You know its not that fucking simple. Look at the fucking ol man what he done to us. Shit you don't fucking have a clue since you fucking left me alone with him!" I yelled at him and stomped off

I stomped off to the forest and being so stupid took my anger out on a tree, bloodying my knuckles in the process. Everything was just all fucked up right now and I just couldn't stop myself from feeling all these emotions all at once.

"You sure told that tree who's boss" a accented voice came from behind me

I turned around quickly and saw Savannah, a soft smile on her face. I sighed and looked down at my knuckles.

"Hmph…" I huffed not wanting to deal with her right now while my head was still all messed.

She looked at my bloodied knuckles with concern.

"You hurt your knuckles yes? May I fix it?"

I sighed and nodded lightly, letting her lead me over to a log we could sit on.

"Stay here yes?" she told me and ran off to get something for my hand.

When she came back she had some rubbing alcohol and some gauze. Savannah sat beside me, getting a cloth and soaking it with the alcohol and gently cleaning my bloodied knuckles. I hissed lightly as she did, feeling the stinging the alcohol made as it cleansed the wound. She bit her lip and whispered very quietly

"Sorry…sorry.." before she continued cleaning my wound. Slowly and gently she wrapped my hand with the gauze, then ripping the end off and tying it off so it wouldn't fall off.

"You're good at that"

She looked up at me and smile "I...thank you...very much"

"What exactly did you do before this huh? Doctor?" I asked curiously

She smiled lightly "No...I was a piano teacher...I love to play piano...I miss it…" she sighed lightly frowning slightly

"Thought you were going to say something like ninja or somethin" I smirked

She giggled lightly and smiled. Savannah had such a nice smile...though...it seemed to be a rarity...Not that I could blame her...or judge...I didn't smile that much either...guess not much can be found in our lives that we can smile bout…

"No...I always love art...Its...passion you know? I love music, I miss music and...art...I love to draw unfortunately I'm running out of paper and pencils to draw with. I know...it must sound completely stupid...worrying about such things when...when there is so much danger but...sometimes…"

"Escape from reality?" I answered for her

She nodded sadly

"Thanks for uh...helping me…"

"It is no trouble. Just...try not to make a habit out of punching trees yes?" she giggled, her cheeks changing to a light pink

"No promises"
