Winter was helping wash the vegetables when suddenly she heard quick footsteps. She turned and looked down to see the toddler who was called Nicky. He held his hand out as he gave Winter a smile. Winter's heart melted
"Aren't you just the cutest?" She asked before cutting a small piece of carrot off for him
"Shh, I won't tell if you don't" Winter said before she bent over to give it to him. He took it and ate it before running off. Winter was mindful with her ankle. She wanted to avoid putting as much pressure on it as she could so it would heal quicker. When she finished washing the vegetables, she left the house with some crutches that Hershel had provided for her. She wanted to see Sam. After finding out that Michael had left last night, Winter was deeply saddened. However, she knew it was nothing compared to what Sam had been feeling. She knew Michael was everything to him. Despite the way they would fight sometimes, she knew that Sam really looked up to Michael. As she made it to the RV, T-Dog and Dale looked at her shocked
"Should you be walking around all that much?" Dale asked
"Daryl got an arrow to the side and he's walking around just fine" Winter said
"Yeah, but that isn't his foot" T-Dog said
"Regardless, have you guys seen Sam?" Winter asked
"Yeah, he's in the RV. Though, be warned he is not in the best mood" Dale said
"I figured" Winter said as she entered the RV. She put the crutches to the side since there wasn't a whole lot of room for her to even use them
"Sam?" Winter asked. She got no response. She slowly made her way to the back room which had the bed. Sam was sitting on the side of it. She sat beside him
"Hey, Sam?" Winter asked
"Why did he leave me?" Sam asked as he stared at the ground. Winter was taken by surprise
"What?" Winter asked
"Why did Michael leave me? What did I ever do? Michael is just a fucking coward. All he knows how to do is run away" Sam said angrily. Winter put her hand on Sam's shoulder. He looked at her
"Why did he do this to me?" Sam asked her with tears in his eyes. Winter didn't know what to tell him
"I don't know" Winter said
"Are you gonna leave me too?" Sam asked as a tear streamed down his face. Winter felt her heart shatter at the look on his face. She brought her hand up and wiped his tear
"Sam, I'm not gonna leave you" She told him
"Yeah, well.. Michael said the same thing, and now he's gone" Sam said
"Sam, I'm not going to leave you. I promise" Winter told him before she wrapped her arms around him. He hugged her back as he began to cry
"It's okay, I'm here.. I won't leave you" Winter reassured him. Sam removed himself from Winter, and he stared at her. He wiped his tears
