Y/N POV

After We found Tripp and Ava outside we met with Javi and David and now Me, Clem, Mom, Javi, David, Kate, Gabe and Ava are heading to a garage.

Highway

David: Everyone hold back. Let Javi and I clear out these walkers.

David and Javi kill the walkers on the highway.

David: Good to go, let's move.

In the distance, a herd of walkers follows our group.

Javi: You okay, bud?

Gabe: When I was little, Dad used to ask me what I wanted to be when I was a man. And I'd point at him. He always liked that. I thought he was such a great guy. It would always make him smile. Every time.

Y/N: [whisper] Who would want to be David when they grow up?

Clem and Mom giggle.

Javi: Yeah, lots of kids hero-worship like that. It's part of the job.

Gabe: Yeah. I guess it was.

Kate kills a nearby walker.

Gabe: "Never be like your uncle!" He told me that all the time. "Don't be a man who relies on other people to solve your problems. Because then you're not a man at all." I used to think he was right. Not anymore, though, Javi. I can only hope I grow up to be like you. So... here's hoping.

Javi: Oh, well, thanks, buddy. Means a lot.

Gabe: I'm sorry I never really said it before. I should have.

Javi: Thanks a million.

Gabe: You're welcome a million!

Gabe: You took such good care of me. Now we need to take care of Dad. He's the one that needs our help.

We reach a section that is blocked by a pile of cars.

Javi: We're gonna have to go around the side.

Kate: There's barely any room.

Javi: No time to waste. Come on.

The walk along the edge of the highway.

Kate: You know, I didn't there was much that could scare me anymore. And yet, here we are. Just goes to show you, life is full of surprises.

Gabe: Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.

Y/N: Girl's go first. I'll grab you if something happens,

Carley: Okay babe.

Everyone makes it across but me, Javi and Ava are still crossing.

a car bumps into Javi making him stumble.

Ava: Grab my hand!

Javi grabs Ava's hand and steadies himself.

Ava: You got to be more careful!

Javi: I was being--

A walker in the car jumps out at Ava.

Ava: Oh, fuck!

I hold Ava back and the walker falls off the highway.

Y/N: I got you.

Ava: Thanks.

We all make it off the highway and Ava hugs me.

Ava: You saved me.

Y/N: I know. I'm the best.

Ava walks away and Clem and mom hug me.

Clem: Are you okay babe?

Carley: You good honey?
