"𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 yesterday, I'm worried." I hear Zak whisper just outside of my cell. I was laid on my bed, facing the wall, I didn't wanna see a single soul after my performance yesterday, I knew it wasn't actually her, but it really felt like she was tormenting me... why would she do that?!
"Maybe I should talk to her?" "She'll talk when she's ready." Carl sighs. "Listen, Kid, you haven't known her for your entire life, you've known her for just a year, do you know what she's been through?" Zak retorts. "Yes." Carl deadpans. "I do, Zak. I know that she was lonely in school, I know that how much she hated herself, I know that once at dinner at school, she slashed a girl's arm because she was bullying her, she got to her, and I know that she served her time in juvie for it."
"She told you all that?" he asks. "You tell each other everything when you're "married"." he murmurs. "So just leave her alone." I soon heard footsteps walking away after that, but I knew it wasn't both of them, Carl was still there, probably making sure I don't do anything bad to myself. What am I meant to do when I'm not moving?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧 the other part of the block, figuring out a plan to stop walkers getting in from the other side, that would probably have been a risk for us when this Governor guy decides to attack. "You can't stop me." I heard Glenn arguing with Hershel, Glenn was talking about sneaking back into Woodbury to get his vengeance.
I can't stay cooped up in this cell all day, shit happens, I'll just have to move. I sat up slowly and a little weakly, I reached over and grabbed it and placed it on my head, then walked out to join them. "Rick would never allow this..." Hershel sighs. "You really think he's in any position to make that choice?" Glenn questions. "Jade's probably dealing with it worse than he is." I mentally sigh at myself.
I knew it was just hallucination, but- I just freaked out a little too much. "Think this through clearly. T-Dog lost his life here." Hershel begins to reason. "Lori and Julia, too. The men that were here. It isn't worth anymore killing. What are we waiting for? If he's really on his way, we should be out of here by now." "And go where?" he quizzes. "We lived on the road all winter." Hershel speaks
"Back when you had two legs and we didn't have two babies crying for walkers every four hours." Glenn argues. "We can't stay here." Hershel frowns. "We can't run." Glenn objects. As he finishes that sentence, Maggie walks out, she didn't realise I was there. I know it's best to leave someone when they're down, but eventually they need cheering up. I chase her up the stairs as she enters her cell, I could already hear her sobs.
