"Who is that?" David asked pointing to Carl. "That's my friend, Carl. He's in the group I found." I said. He looked Carl up and down. Then, I changed the subject, asking about his eleven year old sister. "Where's Hailey?" I asked. David's head dropped. I immediately knew. "David, I'm sorry." I said embracing him with a hug. "Come with me, we have a safe, secure orphanage. We have food and water." I said. David looked for the leader's approval then he walked with us. We quickly made our way back to the orphanage, but was stopped by what sounded like a little girl crying and screaming. She was trapped in a car, surrounded by walkers. David started shooting, Carl was stabbing their heads with his knife, and I was slicing their heads off. We cleared the car and helped the little girl out. She was really young. I grabbed her and we ran the rest of the way to the orphanage. "Rick!" I yelled. He opened the gate. I ran the girl to the doctor . Chloe followed me. "Who is this?" The doctor asked. I sat the girl on the bunk. "I don't know. We saved her from walkers. "I'm Lexie. I'm four years old." She said holding up three fingers. She's adorable, but her eyes were still tear stained. "I'm Brooke, this is my sister Chloe, and this is Dr. Tim." I said. She managed to slip me a smile. While Dr. Tim cleaned the cut on her arm, I noticed she had a book bag over her shoulders. "What do you have there?" I asked. "Candy." Lexie said. She took off her book bag and started grabbing out Starburst, Skittles, Hershey Kisses, and mints. She gave me the Hershey kisses and I slid them into my pocket. "You're all cleaned up." Dr. Tim said patting her leg. She got up and immediately hugged me. I patted her back. I grabbed her hand and walked into the main area where Glenn and David were talking. "I see you met my boyfriend." I said. They both smiled. I walked Lexie back to mine and Chloe's room. "You'll sleep on top bunk with me." I told Lexie. "So, where's your family?" I asked. She began to cry. "Mama got bit by one of the dead people and... D..Daddy left me in the car all myself." Lexie said crying. "Brooke?" I looked up. Rick was the one calling me. "Yeah?" "It's time for you to introduce your friends." He said. I grabbed Lexie's hand. We walked into the main area. Everyone in the group were sitting at the tables. David joined me in the front. "Everyone. This is my boyfriend, David. He's the same age as me and this is a girl we saved. Her name is Lexie. She's four. Her dad abandoned her in a car surrounded by walkers." I explained. Michonne had tears coming from her eyes. She got sensitive about the last words. Everyone got up and welcomed them to the group. Lexie's smile grew in every moment. She's so adorable.
