Never Found

Chapter-6

                      Wills POV

When I got up that morning I changed into a good-looking outfit for when I saw my mom I was nervous but overall very excited I remember Mom but it's just a faint memory of her hugging me on my birthday it is one of the best memories I have well I can remember I know I don't have to get all fancy but it's my mom who I haven't seen in 4 years I need to look good but I'm sure she wouldn't even care about what I'm wearing just the thought made me smile

I grabbed my jacket and started my walk around the abandoned dead town to pass time I don't know when she'd be coming but if I have to wait all day I will I walked past one of the dead trees before coming to a stop I squinted my eyes seeing small movement in the middle of the trees there was a figure but it wasn't human I could tell

I grabbed my knife from out of my pocket as slowly as I could to not frighten it and so it wouldn't jump at me when I fully pulled the knife out of the case it was held in I pulled it towards my face aiming the blade at the head of the monster walking towards me and "Will.?" I heard from the side of me

I turned my head but I already knew who it was I could recognize that voice from anywhere because I only know one person that could speak so calmly "Mom..?" I said quietly to not trigger the monster to attack I held back my tears as I looked my mom in the eyes she smiled than starting to move towards me

she pulled her hands out about to grab me when a loud shriek was heard from the dead trees I snapped my head back towards the monster just to see it had disappeared it jumped out of the trees alerting the people standing behind her I didn't even notice them the monster nearly grassed my moms face but hit the ground dead before the man could even shoot the knife no longer in my hand I sprinted towards my mom slamming into her chest the monster long forgotten when she wrapped her hands around me

I gripped on to her and felt tears sting my eyes I heard small cry's and looked back and up at my mom she was crying but she was smiling so so big as she cried I felt my own tears falling and sobbed gripping her tight I didn't want to let go I didn't want her to let go I wanted to stay in this moment for as long as I could I didn't want to be left to die again I couldn't do it I didn't want to do it

I kept crying even when the three other people behind her walked closer I put my head in her shoulder and kept crying even when my mom calmed down and slowly pat and rubbed my back I still cried sobbed I didn't want to let go I didn't want her to leave me I didn't want to be alone again I hated being alone and I hated the past 4 years because I was alone I had no one even when Henry tried to recruit me before he died I had no one he didn't even want me he wanted to use me even the crawlers and walkers made me lonely they didn't even want to be near me

And though it shouldn't it hurt it hurt so much and when I first spotted those people and they offered to take me back I felt so seen and like they really wanted me to go home especially the girl the one that chased me I should've thanked her when she was with Jonathan but I never got the chance and that boy Dustin I hoped and wished to see him again he felt so familiar and that's all I wanted to hold and hug the people that felt familiar

Even the walkers dead body didn't make me feel anything but as my mom held me in her arms even when I was being a cry baby made me feel so loved like I was back at home and as if I was never lost and snatched from my family at someone else's will I felt so safe so happy so warm I smiled my crying going down but still there I love my mom so much I squeezed her harder and felt weak to her touch I just wanted to stay right here and just sleep huddled next to her until she grew tired of me until she asked for me to go

I calmed down but kept my head tightly in her shoulder my grip never letting up even when she started to walk I just held on tighter and looked slightly up from her shoulder to walk with her we made it back to that dingy trailer I'd seen twice before they walked in and sat down I stayed huddled closely to my mom I knew I was being clingy but I couldn't bring myself to let go I finally had her back I felt like that 12 year old boy who never cared or had any responsibilities in her arms it felt safe and reassuring it wasn't a want to stay clingy to her it was a need it was a need to finally feel like a kid again as if I never was taken and instead that night I was huddled with my mom instead of dragged to the depths of hell and left to die it felt so good to be seen and heard and hugged it felt so good
