Once Negan left, in came Simon. "Come on let's go," he says as he reaches for Tessa's arm. She manages to pull away right in time "you know I can walk without you grabbing my arm asshole." Simon lets out a laugh "I can see why Negan likes you, you have a feisty side to ya" he then successfully grabs ahold of her arm anyways which causes Tessa to roll her eyes in annoyance. They make their way out of the doctor's office, walked down a hall, and up a flight of stairs that led them to a room. As they were walking around Tessa takes mental notes of the way out to plan her escape. She first needs to find out if Daryl is still alive or is in fact dead before she tries to leave.

"Alright, here we are. Get cleaned up I'll bring you some clothes once you finish up. Oh and don't take too long Negan wants to talk to ya."

"And what the hell could he possibly have to talk to me about?" Tessa reply's as she stands in the doorway of the room with her arms crossed over her chest. "Not sure cupcake but let me give you a piece of advice. Don't talk back to him just listen to what he has to say. I advise you to agree with whatever he proposes or else it can go very bad for you." and with that Simon leaves the room leaving Tessa with her thoughts.

As she looks around the room she can see how dark and simple it is. To the left, there was a decent size bed, a nightstand, and a small kitchen. On the right, side there were windows, a TV, as well as a chair and a door which led to the bathroom.

Walking into the bathroom, Tessa is shocked once she sees her reflection looking back at her. Her hair was all tangled in a mess, her eye bags were extremely dark, and there was still small blood spatters all over her face as well as cuts along her arms. Tessa begins to push her hair back from her forehead as she starts to feel her head begin to pound. A shower is exactly what she needs right now.

Striping off the dirty and sticky clothes, Tessa steps into the shower. She feels a string as the hot water hits the open cuts and bruises. Tessa tries her best to scrub everything off her body. She can see the blood and dirt go down the drain. Once she successfully cleans herself off she sits downs and allows the water to wash over her. Her mind brings her back to the night everything changed. She could feel her body start to grow numb, starting at her feet and causing goosebumps along her fragile skin. Closing her eyes, Tessa allows her head to lean back and hit the wall. The sound of the water reminds her of being underwater. It was beginning to overwhelm her. Her mind was like a clock running 24 hours with bad thoughts. Every breath she took became more and more shallow and desperate. Suddenly she hears a knock at the door which causes her to open her eyes and gasp for air. "Hey times up!" she hears Simon say behind the door.
