I Am Here (TWD)

Part 24

I layed on my back as the sun dried up my tears, the sky is brighter today, today is the worst day of my life. I mine as well die too.

"She needs formula and soon or she won't survive." Hershel says.

"Nope. No way. Not her. We ain't losin nobody else. I'm going on a run." Daryl says.

"She." I whispered to myself, it's a girl.

"I'll back you up." Maggie says.

"I'll go too." Glenn adds.

"Okay, think where were going. Beth." Daryl says.

I sit up dreadfully. "I'm going too."

"I don't think so, you just lost your brother and Lori-" Maggie says.

"I do as I please, Even with them gone. I cannot afford to lose her as well." I say looking at the concrete.

"You two get the fence. Too many of them pile up, we have a problem. Glenn, Maggie." Daryl whistled.

"She's coming too." Maggie says helping me up. "I think a drive will do her good."

Daryl nods. "Vamanos. Get the gate."

Rick picks the axe back up and goes back in the prison, I don't know what to do or say for him. I'm feeling what he's feeling, but I don't even know how to feel myself.

"Come on. We're gonna lose the light." Daryl urges and I follow him, putting my gun and blade back in their sheaths.

"There's the piggly wiggly on 85." Glenn says.

"No. The baby sections been cleared." Maggie differs. "Lori asked me to keep an eye out, haven't had much luck."

"Isn't there any place that hasn't been completely looted?" Asked Daryl.

"We saw signs for a shopping center just north of here." Glenn says.

"There's too much debris in the road, the car won't make it through." I say.

"I can take one one of ya." Daryl says.

"I'll go. Maggie says.

"No, Maggie. After everything you been through. I'll go." Glenn holds her hands. They seal a goodbye with a kiss, Maggie grabs her bag and gets on the motorcycle with Daryl.

It's been 56 minutes and two seconds since I last saw Rick, he's still inside, probably killing everything in his path. I would too if I didn't feel like jumping off this watch tower. They haven't found my brother's or Carols bodies, but they are still digging a plot for them. I've decided not to jump for now as I make my way back to C block, there the baby was still crying in Carl's arms, she must be hungry. Daryl and Maggie come back, dumping everything they got all over the table. Daryl takes the baby and gives it a bottle, it stops crying immediately, he looked happy with her.

"She got a name yet?" He asked.

"Not yet." Carl says. "I was thinking maybe Sophia. Then theres Carol. Andrea...Amy. Jacqui. Patricia. And maybe Lori...I don't know."

"Huh? You like that? Little ass kicker." Daryl says and I chuckled with tears in my eyes. "Right? That's a good name, Right?"

"You okay?" Asked Hershel.

I whined. "What do I do now?."

"It's Alright." He puts an arm around me.

The next morning -

My head lays on the cool table as I stared at the wall, this is my new reality. We're all going to die, we're dying as it is. I don't know if I can fight much longer, my body is numb, it's cold and doesn't feel alive.
