04. Their Return

"I don't know why you're being a raging dick about it Shane! He came up to us. I didn't intentionally go up to the asshole." I argued to my brother. He gave me his dickhead death glare "But you didn't fucking walk away Madison Nicole. I ask you to do one fucking thing! You can't even do that!" He yelled slamming the hood of the truck down.

Lori came up to us saying "Shane,shut up. Do y'all heard that?" "It sounds like a car alarm?" Dale added in. I scoffed "Up the hill? No way."

Oh how wrong I was.

That's when a red dodge challenger pulled up, blaring. The person driving hot wired it. "Who's driving?!" Lori asked Shane softly, pulling me closer as the door opened. Glenn. "GLENN" I screamed as loud as I could, running up and throwing my arms around his neck. He returned the hug whispering "I missed you too Madi." softly into my ears. "Alright. Enough with the sappy shit, turn off the car" I heard Shane say. "Yeah! Turn it off!" Dale yelled from the RV. Glenn was stuttering half a mile a minute saying "I don't know how" as he saw how pissed off Shane was.

Once Shane left us alone to deal with the car, Glenn gave me another hug whispering "What happened to him while I was gone? He looks like he has a stick up his ass." I gigged at his comment pulling out of our hug "That's a story for tonight..wait where's the rest of the group?" "Oh, they took a different car. They shouldn't be more than 20 minutes out. I promise Madi." He said patting my lower back as he went to say hi to the rest of the group.
----------------------------------------------------------
Just as Glenn said within the next 15 minutes, the rest of the group pulled up in a big white moving truck. Where's Racist Dixon?!

"T-dog. Where is Merle! Tell me!" Blake screamed at the poor man. T-dog just looked upset saying "We had to leave him behind...I am so sorry Blake. I am." Blake looked unsurprised by what T-dog was saying, like he knew it was going to happen. Blake didn't even respond, he just went back into his tent.

I overheard Carol asking "How'd y'all even get out of there?" "New guy. Hey officer friendly come introduce yourself." Morales said smiling down at his wife. New guy?! Officer?!

That's when I saw someone I thought I was never going to see again in this lifetime.

Rick Grimes.

His face went through the 5 stages of grief upon seeing his wife and son. "DAD! DAD!" I heard his son say as he run straight into his father's arms, just as Lori got to Rick. He held them close, clearly wanting to never let go. Glenn came over and nudged me "Hey Madi, do you know him too?" "He's my godfather."

                             4 Hours Later.
"Hey. You never told me why Shane was being a dick earlier." My best friend asked me while I laid my head on his shoulder, my eyes staring into the fire pit the men made. "Oh, yeah..so you know how he always tells me to stay away from Ed?" I asked Glenn softly. He nodded. I sighed before continuing on "So today after my swim, I was helping Carol and Amy with some laundry...Ed came to get Carol but I got in the way of him and her." I paused for a second."He slapped me...just as Shane was coming to check on me. Not only did Ed get screamed at and almost punched for touching me, I got yelled at for not leaving as soon as he came down. I just..I couldn't leave Carol with that abusive asshole.." I felt tears forming in my eyes.

Glenn looked shocked but didn't say anything, he just pulled me closer to him, stroking my hair until Shane declared it was time to go to our tents. Glenn decided to give me a piggie back ride to our tent but unfortunately with Rick back, Shane was sleeping in our tent now. "Hell no. No way. I am not sleeping in the same bed as you Shane. That's so weird." I argued with my brother. He laughed "So you're sharing with Glenn? Fuck no." Not the first time Asshole. After 5 minutes of back and forth, he finally gave up "Fine! But no funny business. I mean it Madison." I smiled pulling him into a hug.

"Thank you Shane. I love you. Goodnight" "I love you too Sweet Pea. Now get some rest"

Everything felt right in the world with Glenn back. He's meant to stay in the group. In this group.

"Goodnight Madi" He said kissing my head before pulling back the blanket we were sharing. I smiled to myself before saying "Goodnight Glenn"
