30. Meeting

I was now allowed to go out, i checked Tara and saw that she was still in the same condition. I went outside and notice that people were on edge, i was confused when Michonne came up to me. "Are you cleared to go?" She asked as she hugged me. "Yeah. I'm more better, they gave me stitches. I'll be good, what happened? why is everyone so...on the edge." I said and Michonne filled me in on everything with Rick. He clearly had lost it and now they will hold a meeting tonight about Rick and that everyone will be there including us. "I have to go now. I'm glad your okay Y/N." She said and left. I kept walking around and saw Rick, he saw me and hugged me. "How are you feeling?" He asked and I smiled, "Better now, how are you holding up?" I asked, "Hope that I don't get all of us kicked out." "I know you have plan just in case of anything. What you did was dumb though but I think you were in the right." "The rest dont really think so. Enough about this, Carl has been worried about you. Wanna go and meet them?" He asked and I nod, we walked towards his house.

"Hey Dad!" Carl said and then looked at me, "Y/N!?" He ran to me and hugged me. "Hey Carl." I said with a smile as I hugged back, "Are you okay? Are you feeling better?" Carl asked, "Yes I'm okay, don't worry." I said with a slight laugh. "Do you think..we can maybe continue our lessons?" He asked, "What lessons?" Rick asked, I stayed quiet for a bit. "Oh uhm you know.." Carl said nervously, "No I don't know." Rick said. "I've been teaching Carl, how to defend himself." I said and we both looked at Rick, he cracked a smile. "Why were you guys so nervous? That's great, thank you Y/N!" He said and I smiled, Carl let out a sigh of relief.

"I really thought you we're going to be mad." I said, "It's fine honestly, Im okay with that." Rick said and I smiled. "Now where's the cutie, I miss her." I said and Carl went to get Judith, he passed her to me and she let out a giggle. I hugged her, "Looks like you missed me too baby." I said as I kissed her forehead, "She really loves you." Rick said as he softly smiled at me. "I love her too. I'll be here for her no matter what. We're family after all." "Your so mushy." Rick said and I slightly hit him. "I'm kidding! We are family, i have to go. Ima go talk to someone." Rick said and we waved him bye. Through out the whole day, me and Carl catches up with each other and it was now time for the meeting.

I stood next to Michonne, "We're gonna start." Deanne said, "Can we wait, there's still people coming, Glenn, Rick." Maggie said. "We're gonna start, it's already dark. We're gonna talk about what happened, not the fight, not what precipitated it, we're dealing with that. We're going to talk about one of our constables. Rick Grimes, we're going to talk about how he had a pistol he stole from the armory, about how he pointed it at people and talk about what he said. I was just hoping he'll be here." She said

"He said he's coming." Michonne said, "I'm sure he'll be here and I'm sure we can work this all out." Carol said. We started to discuss how we met Rick and how he helped us, how Rick is. "Before we hear from anyone else, I would like to share something in the spirit of transparency. Father Gabriel came to see me the day before yesterday and he said our new arrivals can't be trusted, that they were dangerous, that they will put themselves before this community. And not one day later, Rick seemed to demonstrate all the things father Gabriel said. I had hope Father Gabriel was here." Deanne said and we all discussed more.

A guy was talking but stopped when Rick arrived with a body over his shoulders. He then dropped it and it was a walker, "There wasn't a guard at the gate, it was open." He said, then someone went to go to the gate. "I didn't bring it in, it got inside on its own. They always will...the dead and the living because we're in here and the ones out there, they'll hunt us, they'll find us, they'll try to use us, try to kill us. But we'll kill them, we'll survive I'll show you how, till I was thinking...I was thinking how many of you I will kill to save your lives, but I'm not gonna do that. Your gonna change, I'm not sorry for what I said last night, I'm sorry for not saying it sooner, your not ready but you have to be right by now, luck runs out" Rick said.

"Your not one of us!" Pete yelled, "Pete, you don't wanna do this." Reg said, "Get the hell away from me, Reg." "Pete, just stop." Reg says as he trying to calm him but Pete sliced his throat and everyone was in shock, Deanna was sobbing, grabbing Reg's body, she then turned to Rick, "Rick...do it." Deanne commanded Rick and he shot Pete.

"Rick...?" a man said as he looked at Rick.
