9| 'A Fun Guy'

Y/n POV

That mowing everyone was saying their goodbyes to Bob. Well all the people that had to leave. I asked Rick and Tyreece to keep an eye on Evie. Because I would have no idea what would I do if she ever got hurt.

"You'll always be with us. Part of us." I said with a smile, I had tears in my eyes as I held on to Bobs hand. He gave me a small smile back. I stood up and walked away.

"Rick" Bob groaned out, I took that as a cue they wanted to have a private conversation. I wiped the tears that were about to fall.

Later on Bob did die and we buried him. It was near the graveyard in a small field. I watched as Sasha tied string around the cross. I felt terrible for her but I didn't know what to say to make her feel better.

"This is our route to DC. We'll stick to it as long as we're able to. If not, well, you got our destination. Once Eugene gets to the big brains left up there, things are gonna bounce back. This group should be there for it. You should be there for it." Abraham said to Rick, I stood by Glenn as JJ was fixing up my arm.

It had gotten loose and felt like it was about to fall off. I felt Glenn tense up when JJ got finished and patted my shoulder. JJ then stood by Maggie which I thought was cute.

"They will be" I said as I moved my arm around to make sure it was right.

"We will" Michonne said from right beside me. I looked over and smiled at her. I knew my daughter would be safe will all these people.

"We will" Rick repeated as he took the map from Abraham.

"Let's go" Abraham said, I rolled my eyes not in the mood to be given orders. I gave one last hug to the people that were there.

As we got to the bus I stuck my hand out as we were waiting to leave.

"Michonne I miss you already" I said as I looked over at her. She smiled and then she leaned back.

"Go before I try to stop you" she joked as she put her hands over her face. And then Abraham slowly drove off. This was going to be a long trip.

It has been the morning and we were still on the road. Abraham has ass music taste. I tried to say something but Glenn stopped me. Being in a bus this long was killing me so Rosita and I took it into our own hands.

"Weirdest place you've done it" I said to her as I leaned back on Glenn. It took her a second before she came up with an answer.

"In highschool, in the teachers lounge" She said with a smile on her face. I couldn't help but laugh.

"You're kidding" I said as I put my hands over my mouth. There was no way she didn't get caught.

"Mhm" She said as she nodded her head. She leaned forward and started to play with Abraham's hair. "It's getting a little messy for you."

"Gettin ready for retirement. Relaxin the grooming standards. Thinkin about becoming a plumber, a sheepherder or something." Abraham joked as he contained to drive.

"You ain't herding sheep now, Abraham. Eyes on the prize." Rosita said as she smiled. If this was there way out flirting it was kinda hard to watch. It made me feel like I was interrupting something.

"Damn right" Abraham said as he nodded his head. "That's my girl" Glenn and I gave eachother a look and I did my best to not burst out into laughter. "Maybe I'll let you shave me down all over, dolphin smooth." Abraham said. I like couldn't  take this anymore.

"I'll cut it for you tonight" Rosita said as she slapped him on the shoulder with a laugh.

"Yes ma'am" Abraham said to her. I put my head down. I wanted to like jump off this bus anything would be better then this.

"Hey, maybe Rosita can give you a trim while she's at it. Party's getting a little long in the back. Or is it your source of power?" Tara joked with Eugene. Anyone could see it that Eugene was in love with Rosita and extremely jealous of Abraham.

"I ain't slayin a loin anytime soon. I wouldn't be placing any wagers on seeing me dispatch a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass" Eugene said, why can't this man just speak regular English.

"Oh, so you'll just settle on saving the world, right?" Tara asked him.

"Yeah" Eugene said. This was extremely boring. I couldn't take any more of this conversation it was gonna make me jump out of this bus.

"What's up?" Tara asked Eugene."Last night?" Tara asked, I rolled my eyes, what we did wasn't even bad considering what we have done before.

"Nope" Eugene said quickly. "Yes, that and tomorrow. And I'm thinking about that preacher, what he did." Eugene said, I heard Tara sigh.

"Maybe they're behind us. Maybe Daryl and Carol came back. Maybe they took the map, found cars, and they're just down the road." I said with a smile as I thought about everyone else'.

"They'll catch up. We're clearing the way for em." Glenn said as he placed his hand on my thigh.

"How long will it be?" I asked as I groaned and leaned my head back. "Faster you get on that terminal and do what you have to do?" I said as I sat up and asked Eugene.

"Depends on a number of factors including density of the infected around target sites worldwide." Eugene said, I stood there for a minute understanding every word he said.

"Wait, trade sites?" Glenn asked as he turned his body around to face Eugene. "You talking about missiles."

"That's classified." Eugene said, he wasn't telling us anything because of it being classified.

"I thought we were over that." Glenn said as he didn't get why Eugene was keeping it a secret.

"What if we all live?" Eugene asked.

"Will secrets matter then?" Glenn asked him still not getting the point.

"They might. Anyway, the speed with which things normalize depends on a number of factors. Including world wide weather patterns, which were  modeled without the assumption that cars, planes, boats, and trains wouldn't be pouring hydrocarbons into the atmosphere this long. Changed the game quite a bit when it comes to air-transmissible pathogens." Eugene said, there was a long silence because I doubt anyone would understand a single thing he said.

"Why the hair?" Glenn asked as he broke the silence with the stupid question.

"Because I like it. And no one is taking scissor or clipper to it anytime soon. Do you hear me, Miss Espinoza?" Eugene said to Rosita.

"Yes, loud and clear" Rosita said as she leaned back in her seat. There were a small collective chuckles from the group.

"Y'all can laugh all you want" Eugene said as he seemed to pout like a little kid. "The smartest man I ever met happened to love my hair. My old boss, T.Brooks Ellis, the director of the human genome project. He said my hair made me look like and I quote, 'A fun guy' which I am. I just ain't Samson.

There was a loud crash and bang, the car spun out of control as the car flipped over on its side. I heard many screams and shouts and Glenn do his best to hold on to me. I hit my head really hard on to the top of my bus and I heard a crunch of medal. T
