It had been three weeks since the incident. And those weeks I had been helping rebuild this place while also trying to see Carl as well. The first time we saw each other since the whole incident he was kind of nervous as the bandage covered his eye. He was highly insecure about it but I always reassured him. I still blamed myself for what happened to him it was supposed to be me who got shot not him. He disagreed and we would get into little arguments about it but it would always brush over.

Bailey had told me where she went before the incident. Supposedly Enid and she ran away to the town where Rick was trying to lead the herd. They were scared and got into multiple arguments about how they were scared of coming out. Bailey was scared about her homophobic church-loving grandparents and Enid was scared of being more of an outsider than she already was. Thankfully before their relationship was completely ruined because of their fight Glenn had forced them to help him get back to his wife Maggie and ended up bonding the two girls even closer. They still haven't fully come out Enid was ready to do so but Bailey was still a nervous wreck about it. They only told a handful of people like me, Carl, Tara, and at one point Ron which didn't go over well as Enid had told him and he completely lost it. Threatened to tell her grandparents anytime she wouldn't agree with him on certain things. Enid and I have gotten closer to she apologized to me about her relationship with Carl when we first came. She didn't like him or anything but knew that Carl cared for me and she was scared she would ruin our relationship if my jealousy got in the way which thankfully it didn't.

Today I was supposed to go on a run with Daryl and Rick. Daryl forced me to go since he was still worried that I thought I was weak. I was at Carl's house before the run as Rick got ready. Carl and I usually just talked in his room as we traded comics we kept. We never really talked about what happened before the incident the confession if you call it that. I didn't want to push him or have him remember that night. Also, it was an awkward conversation to have.

"Do you have to go on that run today?" He asked annoyedly as we sat on his bed and read the comics in our hands as he continued to bounce a light green tennis ball onto the roof above us.

"I'm pretty much forced to," I mumbled as I flipped the page.

"But it's going to be so boring without you." He whined.

"Are you saying you like my company?" I said sarcastically as I looked shocked.

"Shut up." He joked as he threw the tennis ball at the roof above us and almost missed catching it and almost hitting me making me flinch.

"If that hits me I swear to god, Carl." I pointed at him as he laughed.

"I wouldn't let that happen. You don't think I'm that good at catching things?"
