Together Forever.

Either it passes or it breaks

Pdv Kira : 

My father and I are outside contemplating the landscape when we see a horse heading towards us. My mother gets off the horse and runs towards us. Once arrived at our height she takes us in her arms.
We take him to where the room is where Carl sleeps.

I stand next to him and take his hand. My mother is not long in joining me. She lies down next to him.

Lori: Mom is here... Dad, Big Sister and I are here.

I look at them both, it literally breaks my heart, knowing my little brother is suffering without my being able to do absolutely anything.

Herschel enters the room asking us to go to the dining room.
He tells us everything we need to know.
I'm mad, not mad at Herschel or anything but mad at me. I should have gone with Shane! Instead of standing there with your arms hanging! If Shane can't do it, my little brother might die and that's out of the question!

Lori: I have a question if I understand correctly when Shane will be back and... And this other man.

She says it with as much disgust as possible. I completely understand, I'm so pissed off because of this man. I know it was bad luck but I can't...

Herschel: Otis.

Lori: Otis... The idiot who shot my son.

Herschel: Madam, it was an accident.

Lori: I'll take that into account later.

I'm tired of hearing them yell for an all and nothing. That's not going to fix things!

Me: Excuse me.

I go outside and I contemplate the landscape, everyone seems more...calm to me as if none of this existed.

Maggie: Do you think it's beautiful?

Me: It's beautiful. It's...so quiet.

Maggie: Yeah, we're lucky to be here.

Me: Believe me, yes. The city is horrible.

Maggie: Well…even here we've lost people. We lost 2.

Me: I'm sorry.

Maggie: It's nothing. And you ? Did you lose people?

Me: Yes 5 and 1 missing. A little girl we lost on the highway.

Maggie: It's horrible I'm really sorry.

Me: You don't have to apologize. Everyone has already lost at least one person to this fucking world.

She smiled at me with a sincere smile. This woman looks cool.

Maggie: I don't know you yet but I already know you're a great girl.

Me: I can say the same for you.

My dad interrupts us, and explains that if Otis and Shane don't come back by 1:30, we'll have to start the operation.

1 hour passes and still nothing... They are still not there... I am still on the steps and wait. I see a car in the distance. Glenn and Tdog go out there.

Glenn runs over to me and hugs me.

Glenn: I'm sorry.

Me: It's nothing, don't worry.

I briefly greet T-dog before ushering them into the house where Maggie was waiting.
I leave them with her, while I go to see the state of health of my little brother.

My dad is in a chair across the room while my mom holds Carl's hand. Without a word, I lean on his bed.

Minutes and minutes pass without anything changing. Herschel goes into the room and takes my little brother's constants.

Herschel: It's not good he lost too much blood. If I wait any longer he will escape us and I will become helpless... Now you have to tell me if we try the operation.

I feel my heart tighten. So it's really going to happen like this?! Am I really going to let my little brother have an operation that could cost him his life?
