After a couple minutes of yelling I stormed over to Shane's tent to calm myself down. I laid down on my stomach and my face in the pillow. Shane came into the tent and sat down next to me. "How you holding?"
"Well I just found out that my best friend died  and she was thinking of me before she died. How do you think I'm holding up?" I put my face back into the pillow and started crying again.

Shane tried to calm me down like Daryl did. "Look Jess I know this is hard for you..."
"Hard! This is more than hard. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me." I said crying as I told Shane this. Shane held my face and said, "Jess you are a tough girl. I have seen you have cuts on your face, get black eyes, and a bloody nose from fighting people  just trying to protect other people. I know you are tough. Just think of every time you loose someone you get stronger and stronger." I just looked at Shane. I had no words that would come out of my mouth.

It was about a minute of silence and Shane was still holding my face. He wiped the tears off of my face. "You feeling better now?" He asked letting go of my face.
"I guess." I said shrugging my shoulders. I gave Shane a hug and told him thank you. I also gave him a kiss on the cheek. I left the tent and went to where Daryl was.

"Hey Jess." Daryl said a little nervous not knowing what I was going to do.
"Hey." I said looking down at the ground waiting for Daryl to say something.
"Look I know Lauren wouldn't want to be remembered like that but..." I stopped him and said. "Look I don't want to talk about this anymore. Can we just put this behind us and forget about it?"
"Yeah. If that is what you want." There was an awkward silence between us until my dad started talking.

My dad told everyone that we were going to go get Merle and it would be my dad, Daryl, Glenn, T-Dog, and I. My mom said, "Jess I don't think you should go. Taking what you just went through."
"Mom I have to go. If I don't go I think I would be letting Lauren down. Plus this is all behind me now. I don't even care anymore." She looked at me with a disgusted look on her face and walked off.

Daryl and I were getting ready when I saw Shane and my dad talking about putting people's life in danger. I walked over to Shane to try and calm him down. "Look Rick you are even putting Jess in danger just doing this." Shane said as I walked up.

"Woah! Why did get dragged into this?" I asked in shock.
"Because you were the first person I saw." Shane responded. 
"Why couldn't you have pick Glenn or t-dog to say something about?"
"You walked up to me."
"Okay I'm done talking to you Shane."

"Jess I love you!" Shane yelled as loud as he could.
"That's such bull!" I yelled back at him.A few minutes later Daryl and I were waiting for everyone. That's when Daryl said, "I can't believe you still have that bow."
"Of course I do. You and Merle gave this to me. This was the only thing I had to remember you guys by." When I said that it looked like Daryl had a tear in his eye. That's when he told everyone to hurry up. I could tell he was getting inpatient.

When everyone was in the truck we headed toward the city. It was about a twenty minute drive. So I laid my head on Daryl's shoulder and closed my eyes. Daryl had his arm around me.

That's one thing that I love about Daryl. He acts all tough around people, but when he around people he cares about. He gets all sweet, and caring, and cuddly like a puppy dog.

20 minutes later

We got to a certain area were we had to park the moving truck and walk from. We started to make up a plan to get the bag of guns but Daryl said that we had to get Merle before the bag of guns. When we got to the convenient store there were two walkers. Daryl and I took them both down. He used his crossbow and I used my bow.

We all ran up to the door to the roof. T-Dog had bolt cutters with him so he cut the chains off the doors. Daryl was the first to run out to the roof and I followed him. "No! No!" Daryl started yelling.
"Daryl what the hell are you yelling at!" I yelled to him as I ran over to where he was.

I fell to the ground. Merle wasn't there all that was there; but instead there was a bloody saw, bloody handcuffs, and a bloody hand laying on the ground where Merle used to be.

Thank you for reading chapter 14 in my walking dead book.

We just found Merle's hand. I feel bad for Daryl.
