Things at the farm were a tense mess and Lori found herself in the eye of the storm no matter where she went. Sophia was dead, Lori was pregnant, Daryl had been shot, Carol... well, she was a mess after losing her kid, Beth tried to kill herself, Shane and Rick seemed to be having a piss contest that at this point Lori couldn't fully blame herself for, this conflict went beyond her and Shane's brief 'relationship'.

Then Shane let it slip that he and Andrea planned to leave together. She couldn't stay idle and just let that happen when Andrea was most likely considering such a thing without knowing shit about Shane.

Lori found her on top of the RV, keeping watch despite it being late and probably past the time to switch places with someone else. She climbed on top, holding her hands up to try and show she wasn't here to continue what they left unfinished at the Greene's kitchen.

"I'm not here to fight," Lori said, taking a deep breath. "I just wanna talk, then you can tell me to fuck off if you want."

She was glad Carl wasn't there to hear her say such things, because he was sure to repeat them around like a parrot. The end of the world made that boy take too many liberties when it came to being disrespectful towards adults, and Lori didn't like that one bit. But that was a battle she'd fight another day.

Andrea should have known that they’d keep an eye on her. It wasn’t that long ago that the Savior’s had taken her in. Not long ago that they had found her inside one of the many abandoned buildings somewhere in the surounding woods. Sobbing and hunched over the tiny figure of her dead baby.

She should have known. Maybe she even did, though that did not mean that the stubborn blond would have cared enough to listen. She simply wanted the pain to go away. No matter how, this time.

Ignoring Simon’s words Andrea kept walking towards the fence. Absentmindedly sliding her fingers over the wire. The smell and sound of the living aproaching visibly stirring the walkers that were kept inside the particular area within the Sanctuary. The woman’s voice was raspy when she eventually raised it just loud enough for him to hear.

“Go away.”

    Simon scowled when she didn’t grace him with a reply at first, her footsteps determined. No one was supposed to be outside at this hour. Not even Simon, but there he was, quietly observing what the new woman did.  He had seen her inside, hurrying through the building which piqued his interest. He couldn’t sleep  and had followed her quietly outside. It wasn’t entirely dark yet; some lights coming from inside the old factory building lit up the area too.

This Is It || Shane & Andrea || @hcrrisoned​

Shane couldn't stay a moment longer. The longer he stayed, the more he was reminded that both Lori and Carl were not his. The truth was that they never had been. He'd been living in fantasy land. One that would have continued happily had Rick not returned from the dead. Now that he had, there was no taking back what he'd done, and they all knew it. No matter how many chances Rick gave him, the baby growing inside Lori would serve to remind them all that Shane had attempted to take what wasn't his.

And he just couldn't do it anymore.

He slowly moved around the darkened camp as he packed his meager supplies into the Hyundai. The car he'd fixed up at the traffic snarl would be his only reminder of things past. He refused to take more than his share, and he refused to take anything that would remind him of the Grimes family. He carried enough of their memories deep down inside his heart, that anything physical would pale in comparison.

He gave the supplies one last look over, finding everything where it should be, he closed the door and moved toward the driver's side door. This had to be done quickly. Like a bandaid being ripped from the skin. His hand moved to the handle, easing it up as the door opened freely in his grasp. He looked up, finding her curly blonde hair and pale blue eyes staring at him over the roof of the car.

“If you plan to rob me, you’re fresh outta luck,” he calls weakly over his shoulder, eye falling closed.

“Just went through the last of my things yesterday.”

“Hey! Andrea!” He calls after the blonde. “Have you seen my mom?”

"How have I never seen you in town before?"
