Me , Tommy and Amy are coming back into camp with our mushrooms . We have claimed ourselves as professionals mushroom collectors , the three musketeers in a weird sense . As we hand our buckets full to the brim over to my Mom , she seems to not be really paying much attention though. She gets up " Elodie you look after your brother don't let him out of your sight , I'm just going out for a walk ok ? " she says in a rushed pace . Damn she really wants that walk huh. " yeah of course" . I reply , we all watch her scurry away into the woods with confused expressions . Weird

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Elodie ?" My little brother says to me " yeah ? " I reply . " Do you think Mom misses Dad ?" I tense at the question , before I came back from Virginia I had the idea that my parent's marriage was perfect but it turns out they were having a lot of problems. I put my arm around Carl bringing him in . " of course she does Carl ,she loves him" . "It's just because whenever I mention him she just changes the subject or ignores it" he explains . I sigh looking back at him " Carl listen , mom is just trying to stay strong for us she doesn't want you to see her upset so she is trying to force herself to move on but she will never not miss him , like us." Carl looks up at me and smiles giving me a hug , I hug him back squeezing him till he starts laughing . I laugh too at his red expression.

Our moment is ruined by sound of radio static , Dale waves us all over as we listen in. It sounds like t-dog but the connection's really bad all we get is that they are trapped in the store because there are roamers outside surrounding them . " I heard department store , we need to go help them" I say , Tommy turns to me shaking his head " that's not safe for you babe" Shane agree's " He's right we don't risk he rest of the group". I sigh looking over to Amy " so we're just going to leave them there , my sister volunteered to go" she says snapping back at Shane " Uncle Shane we can't just leave them behind , their risking their lives for us . The least we could do is send a few of us to help". Shane turns to me sternly " Elodie just stop ok , if their trapped they are gone that's it just except it" . I sigh this just doesn't sit right with me " dad would go help them, it's the right thing to do" . I say confidently hoping to change his mind. " your dad ain't here no more I am and I'm saying no , you hear me" he says aggressively looking down at me , i scowl back before turning my gaze to mom who won't even meet my eye. " fine, whatever you say Shane ". Amy walks away upset I quickly chase after her but not before giving Shane another glare . What a twat. I just hope the others can figure their way out of this mess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Talk to me Dale !" Shane says running past us as we all try see what that deafening noise is coming from . " I can't tell yet" Dale replies looking through his binoculars. The object gets bigger till we see a red sports car heading our way , Tommy grabs my arm pulling me back as I try see who gets out . It's Glen , oh thank god I sigh in relive . He tells us that everyone's ok well expect merle but if I'm being honest I hate that guy so he had it coming. However I'm dreading to see Daryl's reaction , I do not want be there for that convo.

Then a big van pulls up with the rest of our group in it Andrea comes out first running to hug Amy , then morales and his family reunite. I stare at them longingly wishing I could experience that with my dad but like Shane said I just have to except it .

" how did you guys get out anyway ?" Shane asks , Glen replies " New guy he got us out " . "New guy ?" I question. " yeah Helicopter boy come say hello" Morales shouts . First thing I see is the cop uniform it's so familiar, no it can't be . " Elodie ?" I hear my name and I think I'm hallucinating . " Dad ?" I take off running as throw myself into the familiar arms that have held me through everything . His hands stroke my hair " oh my god , my sweet girl" I start crying as I feel my mom and Carl join in on the hug . We're back together again now nothing can keep us apart .
