I was awakened by harry playing with his toy. I get up and smile. "How long have you been up buddy?" He looks at me and shrugs. "I no know." I smile and mess up his hair. "I will be right back, okay? If you hear anything strange just stay in here, okay?" He nods. I untie the door and look around the house. It was already clear from the day before. I make sure to lock all exits and entrances. I give everything a double check before I go back to harry. "You can come out of the room harry." He gets off the bed and walks out. "cool!" I smile and nods. It is probably best we stay here for 2 days for us to get used to each other before we go on the road. He jumps and the couch and giggles. "What are you doing buddy?" He smiles. "It is so bouncy!" I smile. "Are you hungry?" He nods. "Starving!" I put my hand on his shoulder. "I will go find something to eat but when I am not near you, and you hear something outside don't go check it, also do not go outside without me. Come get me okay?" He nods and giggles. "Yes sir." He solutes me like soldier and I smile. I go off into the kitchen and look for stuff. I find a couple canned food and cereal. I walk over to him with the cereal and smile. "We don't have any milk so are you okay with just eating it dry?" He nods and smiles. "I will be right back." I go to the room and grab our stuff. When I come back, he is eating the dry cereal and playing with his toys. "cool backpack, Reggie! can I get one?" I smile and set it down on the floor. "In a couple days I will find you one." He smiles. 

I put my handgun and knife in its holster. Harry looks at me confused. "What's those?" I smile and tap his nose with my pointer finger. "These are big kid stuff." He sighs and folds his arms. "I wan to grow up those looks cool!" I smile and mess with his hair again. After a couple minutes of harry just telling me stories he just looks at me for a second. "What's wrong kiddo?" He smiles. "You like mommy. I never met her since daddy said she sick, I have seen pictures, and you just like her." I feel bad for the kid. He never met his mom. I remember my parents and I hated them. They were very abusive towards me and my brother. I gently pull him into a hug, and he hugs back. " I sorry Reggie." I gently pat his back. "It okay, there is nothing to be sorry for." I feel water hit my shirt and realize he is crying. "Daddy said that boys don't cry but I cry all the time." When harry told me that his dad told him that it gave me a flashback.

(Flashback)

I remember it like it was yesterday. My father got mad at me when I dropped my plate. I had cut my hand and started crying. And have a scar for memory. My father was just yelling at me. The stupid thing was that he was yelling at me for crying and not dropping the plate., He kept repeating. "Boys don't cry!".  What a stupid thing to yell at a 7year old for. That was one of the first times he had hit me. After all the yelling I went to my brother's room, and he just comforted me all night.

(End of flashback) 

I felt bad for harry. "Everyone cries. Everyone expresses emotions differently. But crying is okay for everyone. Even boys, and if you just feel like crying. Then cry till you feel better." He nods but stays hugging me. I let go at the same time as he does and wipe his tears. "Do you feel better?" He nods. I see him looking at my flannel pocket and I look down to see the picture of me and Daryl. He gently takes it out and looks at it. "This your daddy?" I smile and nod. "Can I meet him?" I hope he was okay. "Soon." He smiles and just looks at it for a second. "I got bored when I woke up and look in your bag and saw picture, who is the boy next to you?" I take out the photo of me and my brother when we were younger. "This is my big brother." He looks at me with wide eyes. "You have a big brother!" I smile and nod. "And he is the best brother is the world. He is strong, smart, and brave." I see a sparkle in Harry's eyes when he looks at the photo. "I want to be just like him." I put the photo of me and Daryl back in my flannel pocket and let harry look at the other photo for a little while. "You look different here." I smile. "That is because I was a little older than you in this." I could see the smile on his face appear.

I miss Daryl, Sirius, Carl, Carol, Judith, Tyrese, Sasha, rick, Glenn, Maggie, Beth, Michonne, bob, Hershal. I miss everyone. But the only thing I need to focus on now is keeping harry alive. Harry hands me the photo back and I put it in my backpack. "Do you wanna meet terry?" I smile and nod. "Nice to meet you, terry." Harry smiles and giggles. It went from minutes to hours, and it was now pretty late. The sun was setting and I looking at harry. "Let's get you to bed." He holds up his arms to be picked up, so I gently pick him up. I grab my bag and start walking to the room. He rests his head on my shoulder and draws stuff on my arm. once I get to the room, I set my bag down and lock the door. I gently set him down. "Let's get you something to eat before you sleep." I take out 2 cans. One is a can of green beans, and the other is a can of beans. "Hmm that one!" He points to the green been one. I get him the smaller can and a fork. I hand sit on the bed next to him and was about to hand it to him. "Can you feed it to me?" I smile and playfully sigh. "Okay kiddo." I opens his mouth as I open the can and get some food. I feed him and he eat happily. He finishes the full can and I help him take off his shoes and get comfortable. "Can you sing to me again?" I smile and nod. I sing the same song as he drifts off the sleep. I smile and clean up the room before I lay down next to him and get comfortable. I gently play with his hair as I drift off to sleep.
