19| Million Thoughts

Y/n POV

"Push it!" Rick said as Glenn and Tyreece put his arms over his shoulders to carry him out. I followed right behind them trying to keep calm but nothing was working.

"Let's go" Glenn mumbled out as they went through the door.

"Through the back" I shouted at them, it was the easiest way to get him out of the house safely. We didn't want to be slowed down by any more walkers.

"We got to break the chain!" Rick said as we made it to the entrance of the gate. Walkers were pushing through the gate with the lock on it. "Can you hold him up?" I heard Rick ask Bob, as Glenn and I went over to the chain.

"Yeah" Bob said as Rick moved away and Bob was the only one holding up Tyreece.

"Are we ready?" Rick asked as he looked at me. I nodded my head and used my katana to break the chain. I stepped back as the crowd of walkers piled through.

Rick was firing his gun trying to take down as many walkers as he could. I was doing my best to kill them as well. We turned around once they were all dead as Rick and Glenn picked up Tyreece again.

We were able to make it out of the woods and to the road. We hurried along trying to get to the car as soon as possible. I had no idea how long Tyreece was going to last. We needed to save him as soon as possible.

"I got him. Stay with us, now. Stay with us" Rick repeated over and over again to Tyreece who was in and out of consciousness.

We made it back into the woods. Michonne and I were holding up the wires so Rick and Glenn could get Tyreece through. My arms were hurting but I couldn't focus on that. Tyreece was more important.

We got him through the gate as fast as we could. We were running out of time and I knew it. I didn't think Tyreece would live much longer. When he was down on the ground I leaned over top of him.

"You got to hold on, man" I said as I watched Tyreeces eyes close and open. We were running out of time and we needed to get him back to the church so we could get him actual help.

"His feet! Get his feet" Glenn said to Michonne and I. I nodded my head as I saw Michonne grab his other foot. On Rick's count down we lifted him up. Bobs leg was hurting and we couldn't do us much help only with one strong leg.

"Bring him to me" I said as I moved first into the car so we could pull him in completely. We pushed him in the back and I held him up.

"Hold him up" Rick said as he stood behind Tyreece to make sure he was okay and well. Glenn was on the other side of me as he tried to get Tyreece to stay awake.

As Rick went into the front seat. He struggled to get the car going. He rammed the car into another car and bodies of walkers came out. With their legs and arms cut off. We didn't have time to sit there and investigate because Rick was driving fast.

I was sitting in the very back with Glenn as he put his hand on my thigh and whispered stuff in my ear. I didn't have time to sit there and listen. I wanted more then to make sure Tyreece was going to survive. I bounced my leg as I looked up in front of me at Tyreece. I couldn't do this to Sasha.

I looked up in front of I saw Tyreeces eyes close. He was gone and I knew he was gone. I looked up and I needed Rick to stop the car so we could do this properly.

"Rick." I said softly. He met my eyes and shook his head. "He's gone" I said as I looked at Tyreece still body. He would turn in any time and that would be more dangerous.

"Fuck" Rick said as he soaked his hands down on the steering wheel and stopped the car. We all slowly got out of the car and dragged Tyreece of out of it.

Rick sat right beside Tyreece before he got up and stormed off. Bob was looking down at Tyreece with tears in his eyes. Everyone was quiet and we all knew what we were thinking just no one was saying it.

Glenn was leaning on the back of the car. I knew this was hard for all of us. And Michonne stood over him. Someone had to do it and no one taking up the opportunity.

"I'll do it" I mumbled as I walked over and sat down next to Tyreece.

"Y/n-" Glenn tried to say before I cut him off.

"No. I can do it" I said as I took out my small pocket knife in my hand. And slowly put it up to his head. There were so many things I wanted to say to him but it was to late. And I know now he could hear all those things. He knows them. And he is with us.

"Goodbye Tyreece" I mumbled out as I closed my eyes and stuck my knife through the side of his head. I took my knife out and leaned back. I knew this was the right thing to do but it shouldn't hurt this bad or make you feel this way.

I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and got up. I shoved the knife back in the back pocket and went back into the car. A million thoughts raced through my brain and I couldn't manage to make out one of them.

Soon we got everyone back in the car and Glenn wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead.

"You did what you had to do"
