The next few hours went by quick, all fused together into one big mess.

Gale had thrown that boy in the old shed Hershel directed her too. He brought out some medical supplies while she tied him up, using her brother's handcuffs and rope she found hung on the wall.

Hershel patched him up while Gale interrogated him- Rick and Shane behind her throwing in various comments.

They didn't get much out of him though, mostly screaming in pain or answering Hershels 'how does that feel?'.

The two men behind her gave up soon enough, walking back to the house after she said shed catch up.

She didn't wanna leave Hershel alone with him. And honestly, didn't feel like walking into a room full of people and have to answer any questions in Hershels absence.

So she waited until he was finished, the boy had passed out after a while. And they soon made their ascent to the house, locking the shed up behind them.

It was quiet as they walked, Gale shoved her hands in her jacket pockets, playing with a loose piece of trash inside.

It remained silent, the only noise being their footsteps on the grass and the occasional jingle of equipment in Hershels bag.

That was until he broke it, letting out a small, "Thank you." She hadn't heard him at first, accidentally releasing a "Huh?" before she could think.

"Thank you, for..for staying in there with me while i worked. I appreciated not being left alone with him."

She turned to him, he was still just staring in front of them as they walked. She nodded in response, turned her head back to face the front- she knew he most likely didn't see it but she didn't know what else to do, what to say.

They arrived at the house, she allowed him to go first, keeping a distance as they walked up the steps and entered the home.

When they did, they were met with the entire group, who stood in an expecting matter, ready to hear what happened.

Hershel began talking his doctor talk and Gale walked out of the spot light, shrinking away into the shadows and leaning against the wall next to Paige.

Who of which grabbed her hand, grasping it as they stood beside each other.

Paige leaned over, resting her head on Gale shoulder and whispering, "I would like to talk, whenever you're ready sweetie." in her ear.

Gale once again just gave a weak nod, again not knowing what to do, what to say.

Rick and Shane went back and forth before Shane threw a tantrum. "Y'know what? Ima go get him some flowers and candy! Look at this folks, we back in fantasy land!"

Gale let out a snort at that, Paige releasing her hand and smacking her thigh, shushing her.

Hershel started going off, scolding Shane- who of which stood there in shock, looking around the room in embarrassment as he got told off by an old man.

Gale had to turn her head, and burrow her head in Paiges hair to conceal her smile fighting to come out.

This was amazing.

Shane eventually stormed out, the group slowly one by one followed- all retiring to their respective sleeping quarters.

But when Gale tried to leave, following after Paige, she was stopped- a hand on her shoulder.
