you took a polaroid of us,
then discovered,
the rest of the world was black and white,
but we were in screaming color,
and I remember thinking
are we out of the woods yet?

GREENE FARM 📍
season 2, episode 2 (part 4) & 3
The sun was slowly but surely beginning to set, and Hershel began checking on Carl every 10 minutes to make sure his heartbeat and blood pressure were okay.
I was beginning to get more worried the longer Shane and Otis were out getting supplies, the longer they were out the longer Carl was at risk. Lori and Rick were beginning to get even more worried, and I tried my best to keep them calm.
I sat on the porch stairs, my feet on the grass as I stared out at the setting sun, looking out into the field that Rick was running through hours ago. I let out a sigh, closing my eyes— instantly opening them once memories flash through my mind. I shake my head, the memories quickly fading away.
Otis being out didn't sit right with me, especially with a stranger we didn't truly know. I was worried he would get killed or hurt, would show up a bit, scratched, or anything.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear the screen door open and close, a body sits right next to me, and I turn my head to see Rick carefully looking at the sunset with me.
"I'm sorry," Rick sighed, continuing to look at him, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion, wondering what he could be sorry for, "For Lori, she's just-"
"No. Don't apologize, I get it. Her son was shot, I... I get it." I carefully said, Rick looked over at me with a tired look, his eyes were careful, soft but I could tell Rick was exhausted.
"I hope you know I trust you," Rick mumbled, I turned away from him and calmly looked out in front of me. "Just... please make sure to do everythin' you can. To save him."
I feel Rick's eyes glancing at the side of my face, I bite my bottom lip as I'm lost in thought. But I begin to slowly nod my head with a sigh, "I will," I turn to look at Rick, and we both softly gaze at each other, "I promise." I whispered out.
Our eyes never falter as we continue to stare at one another, I offer Rick a cheeky smile before turning my red face away from him. I look down at my combat boots, stomping them on the grass a few times before standing up with a groan.
"I need to check up on Carl. And you," I wag my finger at him playfully, "you need to rest, let's go." I offer Rick my hand, I get a bit of deja vu once I offer him my hand, reminding me of the dreams where he's the one that offers his hand to me.
