CHAPTER TWO

"I care about you ,Andrea. I took you in when your old group left you for dead. I saved your life. Yes, I scared Maggie a bit. But that does not changed what you and have. You belong in Woodbury with me," the Governor pleaded with her.

Wanting her to somehow still care about him.

"Philip, you lied to me. You messed up what could have been forever. The idea of you touching Maggie. I can't," Andrea said pulling him off of her.

"We have to work this out," Rick said looking at the Governor coldly.

"You think I could just let you could go? It's time to go home now Andrea," the Governor, says pulling her close to his chest.

She feels the warmness of his skin, his heart beating against hers. In another life she could love this broken man, but in the world they were in now Philip couldn't get the help he need. He is unstable and should really talk to a counselor. He just could not deal with Penny's death.

Besides, Shane was alive. That changed everything and Philip Blake knew that. She never lied about what Shane meant to her.

"I can't go with you. I am not going to return to Woodbury. I wanted to bring peace with you and Rick. I know now I can not accomplish that. You two can work it out or not. I don't love you anymorePhilip. I am going with Shane. I chose him. He is what I have been searching for," Andrea said, the Governor's spell finally broken.

Shane looks at her smiling. This was the moment he had been waiting for. What took him so long to realize he belonged with Andrea?

"No. This is not a question Andrea," the Governor says, holding her close to his heart with a gun pointed at her this time.

If he couldn't have her, well no one could.

"Andrea has spoken her peace. She loves me. So let her go," Shane demands, literally pushing Rick away.

Three of them are standing close together.

Andrea looks over from her new lover to her old. Why hadn't she just listened to Michonne? If she never accepted Philip's advantages would she still have ended up here?

Part of her knows that she would have. For whatever reason Philip had decided to zoom in on her. This was not her fault.

"Look this isn't Andrea's fault. You can kill me for all I care, but damn you. Let her go," Shane begs with this crazy man.

"Who are you?" Rick asked Shane, shocked to see how Shane has changed.

"I think I should just kill you all. What do you think about that Andrea? I'll start with Rick. Then I your boyfriend Shane. And finally you. How does that sound? Or you could agree to come back with me. And noone has to die. Which situation do you like better?" He whispers softly in her ear.

"I will go back with you," Andrea says, worried about Shane.

She can't live in world where he isn't alive and well. She would anything to protect Shane Walsh.
