Walkers

Chapter 39- Day

"Rick!!!" I yelled.

"Jake!" Andrea smiled. She ran up to the walker she had on a leash and stabbed it in the head.

"Are you alone?!" Rick asked as he ran towards us.

"Rick! It's me!" She said.

He finally caught up to us. "C'mon." He grabbed her arm and walked her up to the other gate with no walkers in it.

"Andrea!" Amy started to run with us.

The gate was open for us to go in. Rick pushed Andrea to her knees and checked for weapons. I waited with the gate open to let Amy in.

"I asked you if you were alone!" Rick told Andrea.

"Rick! It's Andrea!" Amy yelled as I closed the gate.

"I'm alone!" Andrea yelled.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I had to come see you guys. Phillip said you guys fired first."

"No. Your boyfriend shot at us first. He killed..."

"Who did he kill?!" Andrea asked as she looked around.

Amy held her head down, I wrapped my arm around her.

"He..." I started. "He killed Tommy."

Her eyes opened in shock.

"He what?!" She yelled.

Amy sobbed and I wrapped her into a hug.

"We just buried him." I tried fighting tears back.

"Oh my god." Tears started in her eyes too. "Oh my god. I can't go back. I can't..."

She stood up and walked over to Amy and I. She hugged the both of us too.

"I'm here for you guys. I can't go back to Phillip, that monster."

"She can stay, right?" I asked Rick.

"Yeah." He said.

"Thank you." I told him.

"Why don't we go inside. You can see everybody." I told Andrea.

She shook her head and Andrea and I stood on opposite sides of Amy.

We walked inside of C-block. The first person we seen was Carol, Andrea walked up to her and hugged her.

"Where is everyone?" Andrea asked. "Shane? Lori?"

"Lori had a girl." Carol said.

"Where is she?" Everyone looked to the ground. "Carl, I'm so sorry. What about Shane?"

"He tried to kill Rick."

"What? He loved Rick."

"Shane loved Lori more. Let's go see lil asskicker."

"Let me guess, Daryl named her that?"

"Yep." I said. "Don't worry, she has a real name. It's Judith."

Carol and Andrea walked to the perch inside where the cells were.

"Jake, you need your rest. Your shoulder's gotta heal. Only way that'll happen is getting plenty of rest." Hershel told me.

"Alright." I giggled. "I'll give in."

I walked to my cot and laid down. Amy followed.

"I'm gonna go talk to Andrea." She told me. "Get your rest." She smiled.

"Alright, I love you." I smiled.

She kissed me on the cheek and walked out of the cell towards Andrea. I drifted off shortly after she left.

Amy's POV
I loved Jake with all my heart, but I couldn't take this world anymore. Today was the day. I had been pondering it for a while, just never acted on it.

After Jake and I separated, when I told him I was going to see Andrea, I kept walking by his cell, making sure he was asleep.

Hershel must've noticed. "Amy, is everything okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." I muttered. "Uh-uh, just making sure Jake gets to sleep." I smiled.

"Alright." He eyed me.

I started walking off to the bathrooms when I was sure Jake was asleep.

"Amy, where are you goin'?" Hershel asked.

"The bathroom." I smiled.

He nodded and eyed me.

I continued walking till I finally reached the bathroom. I looked behind me to make sure no one followed me and took out the note I wrote for Jake the night before.

I grasped the note in my hand and took out my pistol. I tightened the grip on the note and aimed the pistol at my head. I squeezed the trigger.

It was all finally over.
