the barn

I wake up the next morning and see everyone else packing up. I get my stuff and put it in my backpack, and sling it over my shoulder. "Let's hope it rains today" I tell noah. He nods. Glenn walks over to me. "Maggie won't drink anything". "Why?" "Shes really hurting right now. I hate seeing her like this" he says. "She'll be fine. You just have to give her time" I say. I walk back over to noah. "Hey" I say. "So about last night" he begins. "So are we like dating now? Or-" he trails off. "Sure" I say. I look up and peck his cheek. We continue walking when daryl says. "Alright we are looking for water". We split into groups and look for more water.

We all come back empty handed. Again. But theres something different. Theres cans and jugs of water in the middle of the road. "Be careful. It could be contaminated" rick says. Eugene grabs a bottle and is about to drink it before abraham slaps it out of his hand. "We can't. We cant risk losing another one of us." Rick says. Then theres a sound of thunder. Then rain. "BEGGING THE SKY DOES WORK" I yell. I'm so happy. I go over to Noah and jump in his arms. I kiss him on the lips "WE HAVE WATER!" . "we need to find shelter." Rick says. "Theres a barn a little ways".

When we got to the barn we did a perimeter check. There was one walker there that rick shot down. We just sat around and talked. I didnt eat anything. I couldn't. "Y/n come on can you please eat" glenn asks me. "Glenn I'm not hungry." He looks at me and sighs. "Ok". I go lay down in the corner where me and noah put our blankets. I can't get the thought of beth out of my head. How her life was ended in the blink of an eye. I can feel my eyes begin to sting and I dont even fight them this time. When noah comes to me, I'm still crying. "Hey y/n what's wrong?" "Just beth" I say. He nods and wraps his arms around me and lays us down. I bury my head into his chest and fall asleep.

I'm woken up to noah jolting upwards. Theres a banging sound by the doors. Walkers. Lots of walkers. We fight them off for a good hour before everything goes black. I wake up next to Glenn, who is still passed out. I wait for everyone to wake up before going outside. It's a mess. Theres trees and walkers everywhere. Lighting mustve gotten a lot worse than I thought last night. Well time to keep on going.
