Chapter 71

A/N~ Hey babes if you haven't already heard the rumours it is hinted that Glenn, our bae, will die in this season. I alike many if not all of you know that he dies in the comics and as much as I love the show I swear to god if they kill him I will be seriously offended.

But if he does die I'm not going to pretend he doesn't, because I want to keep as true to the plot as I can.

Lets hope #glennlives

Im running along a road, ducking between cars in a deserted traffic jam.

All I hear from the cars is the groaning, loud and intense.

I make the mistake of looking into a window and I see a family of the dead, a beautiful baby girl strapped into a baby seat, a young boy with bright orange hair, a man in the passenger seat who looks just like Glenn.

My hand goes over my mouth in shock and I move forward to see myself in the drivers seat, gun in my mouth and brains over the headrest.

I stumble back in shock and feel arms wrap around my body and teeth tear through the flesh on my neck.

I wake up grasping my throat and sitting up straight.

I try to take a breath but I feel arms snake around my waist and I react quickly, elbowing the walker in the chest and grabbing my knife from beside the bed.

"Ruby!" Glenn wheezes as I whip back around.

I immediately drop the knife to the floor and hug him.

"You were a walker and we all died..." I whisper as an explanation.

"You've got a really strong elbow." He jokes as he holds his chest.

"I'm so sorry!" I say before kissing him.

"Just try not to do it again." He jokes.

"What time is it? I ask as I hear voices resonate from outside.

I take notice that I fell asleep inbetween two pews that have been moved further apart to accommodate both Glenn and I.

"Its early... I think." He mumbles as he lies back down.

I stand up and stretch out my back and arms to wake up.

"Hey Ruby, get ready were going on a supply run in ten." Daryl informs as he walks over to his crossbow.

I grab my pack and pick up a couple of knives, a metal pole and my newest gun provided by my returned friend, Carol.

She is badass.

I nudge Glenn with my boot, which I slept in, and watch him wake up.

"I'm going or supplies look after the kids." I tell him.

"I'd tell you not to go but I know you can handle yourself." He tells me warmly as he gets up.

"I love you." I tell him.

"I love you more."

As Glenn leans in to give me a kiss Daryl's hand swishes between our faces and separates us.

I laugh and turn to go, squeezing Glenn's hand.

"I'll be back soon." I promise him as I leave.

I walk out the doors of the church to find that they've made it walker proof with big angry looking wooden spikes to stop them.

I sneak between two and see Max playing with Clover, Tara, Judith and Daisy.

"Hey guys!" I say as I sit down on the blanket they're laying on.

Max jumps up and tackled me in a hug and I laugh.

"Hey Ruby." Tara greets warmly.

"You guys having fun?" I ask in respect to both they're... Closeness.... And the fact they're playing with the worlds cutest children.

"Lots of fun." Clover giggles and wraps her arm around Tara.

"Well I gotta head off." I say as I stand up.

I bend down and hug both of them.

"I ship it." I tell them as I walk off.

I walk to where Rick is standing and he turns to me, sighs heavily, and turns back around.

"Excuse me?" I ask, rude bastard.

"Are you coming with us?" He asks haughtily.

"Of course why would you leave without the groups most seasoned survivor." I dig at him.

"Most seasoned?" He scoffs.

"Yes farmer Rick, and I am also the best fighter despite my limitations."

Best fighter? That'll hurt his ego.

Rick openly laughs at this.

"Yeah laugh all you want I am the person who beat your ass to a pulp when you went all mental and tried to kill all those walkers."

Very mean. Good job.

"I can't fight women." He says as if its the best excuse ever.

"Its amazing how many men I've beaten have that excuse." I tut.

Rick looks at me with anger and confusion and I just laugh.

I hear the sound of Daryl's motorbike and I turn and leave without saying another word.

"Hey can I catch a ride with you?" I ask Daryl and he gestures for me to climb on.

As far as friends go in the apocalypse I would consider Daryl as close a friend as I have.

I turn around and see Glenn walk outside ad wave to me as the bike takes off
