The Walking Dead (Season 1)

Guests (Bonus Chapter)

During the drive, everyone tried to think of places to go for the night. At some point, Shane had to abandon his Jeep and if it wasn't for Daryl, Shane wouldn't be here right now. 

Now, we're all on the side of the road on some street, figuring out our next move. Everyone was arguing about where they should go. Shane kept pushing for Fort Benning, eventually Rick agreed on but we needed somewhere for the night. That's when I got an idea. 

I tap Rick on the shoulder, he looks to me. 

I write, "Guillermo."

His eyes widen, as Glenn reads over his shoulder. "Will they take us in?" Rick asks me. I nod as he turns to everyone else, who all look confused, minus, T-Dog and Daryl.

"Who?" Shane asks.

"Those people we ran into a few days ago. Friends of hers." Glenn informs everyone.

"Friends, from before the turn?" Andrea asks me. I nod, with a smile.

"We're close. It's not far from here." Glenn says.

Rick nods his head. "All right. Everyone, get back in the cars. We're heading out."

Everyone does as he says before we all drive off. Glenn was right, it wasn't far. It didn't take long to approach the familiar buildings. We all climb out of the cars. I stare ahead, hoping that nothing happened to them. Guillermo had mentioned that they do run into some bad groups so I'm hoping everything is okay.

Rick gains my attention by handing me my backpack. I look over, seeing everyone staring at me, waiting. "Their your friends, you take to lead." Rick tells me.

I nod to him, gesturing everyone to follow me. I lead them down the familiar path, my heart pounding out of my chest and I wasn't sure why. I glance back every now and then, making sure everyone was okay. Rick sticks close to me, as does Shane and Daryl. 

I stop in my tracks, looking up where their look outs would be, but I didn't see anyone, so that could mean two things. Either something happened and nobody is here, or Jorge is on watch. Felipe made a comment about him falling asleep a lot during his watch. 

"Is everything okay?" Rick asks, as everyone follows my line of sight. 

I nod, before picking up a rock. Only one way to find out, I guess. "What are you doing?" Shane asks, confused.

I throw the rock hard, it bangs against the metal sheet as I hear a yelp, followed by  Spanish curses. Soon, a head peaks over the side. 

Jorge.

"Oh!" He exclaims. "Chica, is that you!?" He yells down to me. I give him a salute. He laughs. "Holy shit! You're back! Go ahead through. You know where to go!"

I nod, gesturing everyone to follow. I glance seeing relieved looks from the group. I lead to the same double doors where I had my moment with Guillermo. I blush from thinking about it. The doors open, slowly. I notice Shane tense up next to me about to lift his gun. I push his gun down, giving him a reassuring look.

Felipe bounds out the door, his face lights up from seeing me. "Chica!" He lungs forward, picking me up in a crushing bear hug. He laughs. The others smile from the interaction. He sets me down. "When my Abuela said to come back and visit, I didn't think it would be this soon."

He glances behind me, seeing the others. "This your group?" He asks. I nod. "You all look like shit." He comments.

Everyone nods. "It's been a hell of a few days." Glenn tells him. "We had no where else to go for the night."
