Today, I get to go on my second supply run. I was super happy because that meant I could stop sitting around while watching everybody else work. I think today might be me and Clint's only supply run which is good because I don't want anybody else coming with us. I told my mom then grabbed my handgun and slipped it into the back of my pants again. With this gun, I knew that my dad is always with me. Even in my heart.
Me and Clint were about ready to go. We had our bags and everything when Firebird stopped us. I wondered what she wanted to tell us.
"You guys don't mind if Nadine tags along right? She'll be more useful to you and she can carry more stuff if you guys can't."
W-what!?
I glanced over at Clint to see his reaction. I really hoped he'll say no but...he didn't.
"Sure. She can come."
I sighed then glanced at Nadine to see her smiling at me with that sickly smile of hers. God, I just wanna...
So, this was it. Nadine was coming with us. We all headed into the red truck. I quickly tried to grab the passenger seat without looking too eager. I didn't want Nadine sitting next to Clint. Clint waited till we were all situated before he pulled out and started to drive away from the camp. I relaxed in my seat, looking out the window when I felt Clint grab my hand and intertwining out fingers. I smiled then looked into my mirror at Nadine. She looked almost...jealous? I squeezed Clint's hand a bit and he squeezed back. I really hated how Nadine was coming with us.
Clint drove to another random house and parked in the driveway. We all got out, grabbed our bags and headed into the house. Me and Nadine took downstairs while Clint took upstairs. I didn't want to be in the same room with Nadine but at least it was better than her being with Clint in the same room together. I calmly looked through rooms, collecting stuff while Nadine raided the fridge. I was too busy trying to collect and find stuff to notice that an random zombie found its way in and started to come after me. It was then I felt myself being grabbed and heard the moans of a zombie flood my ear.
"H-help! Nadine, help!" I called out to her because she was just in the next room from me.
I watched as Nadine walk up to me and noticed the zombie. I tried to keep the zombie off of me while I waited for her to attack it but she didn't attack it. She just...walked away?
"Nadine!" I shouted. I felt the zombies arms around me and I was sure it was going to bite my neck any minute.
That's when Clint came rushing down from upstairs and ran up to me. He bashed the zombie in the head with a baseball hat and it dropped to the floor, letting me go. I collapsed to my knees and tried to catch my breath.
"Are you okay?"
Clint kneeled beside me.
"Nadine...Nadine didn't help me. She left me to get eaten."
"She did?"
"Hey, what's going on?"
I looked up to see Nadine walking up to us like she didn't know what just happened. I glared at her.
"You! Why did you walk away? Why didn't you help me!?"
"What are you talking about? I was in the backyard and didn't hear you."
"Liar!"
"Okay. Calm down everybody. Nadine, did you see Rodney get attacked?"
"No."
I continued to glare at her then looked at Clint to see if he'll believe me or her. I knew that Clint was smart enough to not believe her.
Clint just helped me up from the floor and looked over me to see if I was bit.
"You're clean." He then turned to Nadine.
"I don't know what you were doing or where you were but you should've heard Rodney shouting. I was upstairs and I heard him shout your name."
Nadine just crossed her arms and glared at us. I shrugged her off. I grabbed my bag and headed out of the house. Clint followed after me and Nadine trailed behind us. The car ride back to camp was still quiet but awkward too. I was mad at Nadine and I was sure that Clint was mad at her too for letting me get eaten. I held onto Clint's hand tightly as I tried to calm myself. My blood was boiling and my heart was racing. It was obvious that Nadine wanted me out of the picture so she can have Clint to herself. Well, she should rethink her decision because me and Clint are too smart and too close to be broken by some strange girl.
