Call me England Dixon

Chapter 43:

Season 3 ep 1 part 1

England's Pov:

I don't know how long it's been...7 months...8? Since, the farm went down, since the herd almost killed us. I heard about what happened to Andrea...I hope she's okay. The rest of us, we haven't been doing so well. We've been running house to house. Trying to find a "safe" place to stay in. But none that we've been in are safe enough.

Every time we get run over by walkers; it's getting really exhausting. Harder too, the more my mother's stomach grows, the harder it is. Her stomach is the reason I can tell it's been months because it's really big. Hershel says her due date might be coming up soon. Which puts more pressure on us to find a good place, and fast too.

We've gone out to stores and houses nearby to find more food or supplies for the group. The duo has become a trio. Maggie had joined Glenn and I on going on runs here and there. And to be honest, it's been a blast. It took her a while, but she has gotten used to the way Glenn and I do business. At first, she would call us crazy and weirdos, but now she's one too...so ha!

I've been hanging a lot with Beth too lately. She's pretty fun to talk to and make jokes about Maggie too. There was this one time these two girls had gone through my bag and found my journal that I used to write songs in...I had completely forgotten about that stupid journal too, didn't realize I still had it. They tease me from time to time about a certain song in there that I wrote when I was like 13. I mean come on, who teases a person about something they wrote when they just got to their teen years? Them, that's who.

Daryl and I have grown so much closer too. Whenever I'm not out on runs, he and I go out hunting together. To bring back any living animals- well dead, because Daryl always ends up killing them. He and I don't get any alone time when we're with the group, so we use the hunting more as an excuse to be alone together. If you know, you know ;). But that's not all, he's opened up to me a lot more about his past. About how he grew up, how Merle was, things like that. The only thing he hasn't opened up to me about was...how he got those scars on his back. And I'm in no rush to know. He can tell me whenever he is ready. And he hasn't forced me to open up about myself either, he said I can take my time on it. The only thing I've told him was how it was like living with the Grimes family, when I first adopted.

It's kind of depressing in our group right now, since we haven't got much food or sleep. We're all just so exhausted, and not much to talk about either. The only thing we get is when the three of us go out on runs or when Daryl and I go hunting, it's the only exciting thing happening. Most of the food I get, I just hand it over to my mum. She and the baby need it more than I do. She gets angry-well more like annoyed by me because she says I need to eat too. And at the beginning it was non-stop arguments, but we finally made an arrangement that every other small meal we get, I eat at least half of it. She didn't like it, but it was either that or I get nothing.

Daryl hated both ideas the most though. He would try to share his food with me sometimes, but I mainly refused because some of the things he would eat just looked gross. But who am I to judge, you eat what you need to eat? Every time we go out, I just eat pecans that are on the ground. The good ones too, because who wants to eat nasty ones? Gross...

As for me...I've been doing my best. You know? I haven't really been needing medicine these past couple of weeks. Glenn has really been helping me out along with Daryl, and he doesn't even know it. I'm glad, I don't really need to take it though because we've needed to go out and get new bottles a few times and it's just a waste of time. The girls have helped too, along with my mother's baby. What do you think it'll be? I'm rooting for a baby sister. I'm tired of having a brother, Hehe just kidding. (Not really).
