I thoroughly recommend listening to Fix You by Coldplay.

We've been on the road for while. I'm starting to see where we are. I've just gone pass the houses were I killed Uncle Chris and where Alex and Mason got away. I miss them. Alex's cheesy puns and Mason's innocentness. Harvey, his teddy bear.

We've just passed the sign for the church, 'St. Sarah's'. It's so close.

We arrive near the church to see the door being pride open from walkers. Carl, Michonne, Gabriel and Judith are outside with their weapons ready.
Abraham knocks the entrance and hits a load of walkers. It's blocking the entrance so it should be fine. I was the first one out, and the first one to run to Carl. I hugged him and he hugged me back. I love this, I feel so safe.

"You're back?" He said in disbelief as he backed up to talk to me.

"E-Eugene lied." I stuttered, loud enough for everyone to hear me. "He's not a scientist. "

"What?" Carl muttered. I nodded my head at him and hoped that I wouldn't cry.

"Beth's alive. Daryl and Carol found her with this guy. The rest have gone to save her." Michonne grinned. Maggie smiled and cried giving Glenn a hug. Who's Beth?

"Um... Carl? Who's Beth?" I whispered.

"Maggie's sister." Oh.

"That's amazing for her." I lied.

Maggie has family. Carl has family. Glenn has family. Everyone has got someone except for me. I'm alone. No family.

"Hey what's wrong?" Carl asked me holding my shoulders.

"Nothing, I'm fine." I faked smiled. Carl just looked at me for a second then gave me another hug.

"I'm so glad you're safe." He whispered in my ear.

"Me too."

~1 hour later~

We arrived at what looked like a hospital. It also looked like a refuge centre. Tents surrounded the car park but bodies did too. "Are you ready?" I asked Maggie.

"Yes." Maggie said shakily looking at the abandoned camp. "Let's go."

We all climbed out of the car, weapons at the ready. Only a few Roamers were around but we managed to kill them.

We all stood still when the doors opened. First came out Rick then Sasha. Then Tyreese helping Carol. Then Daryl holding a young girl's body. She had bright blond hair but most of it was covered in red due to the head shot she had. Oh no. This is Beth.

Maggie dropped to the ground in tears screaming and crying. Glenn tried helping her by hugging her and letting her cry into his shirt.

After Daryl and Beth came out, a young boy with a limp and curly black hair came out.

"Noah?" I whispered in bewilderment.

"Mary?" He shouted. I ran up to him and gave him a huge hug.

"How- what- where were you?" I said with tears streaming down my face.

"I-I was with my dad and b-brother. Is Jamie here?" I looked down at the ground and he got the gist. "Oh. I'm so sorry."

We both started crying over the deaths of our friends when Rick shouted us. We walked over, arm in arm. "You two know each other?" Rick asked.

"Yeah, he er... was my cousins best friend in school." I muttered quietly. "I've known him since I was 4."

"He helped us out with... Beth..." Rick explained. That was Noah. Always helping someone.

Noah and I walked back to the truck to see Carl with teary eyes. "Carl, I'm so sorry."

"Have you been crying?" He asked me, wiping his eyes.

"Yeah, this is Noah. But you might know that already." I answered.

Everyone got back into their cars. Glenn had to carry Maggie.

Everyone from the road trip minus Maggie and Glenn and plus Carl, Judith and Noah, got back into the cars.

Maggie, Glenn, Rick, Daryl and Michonne went in one car. The other car was, Sasha, Tyreese, Gabriel and Carol.

I took my opounnity to have a rest since I'm so tired.

~Carl's POV~

I'm tired of loosing people. Beth, Bob. Mom. I can't keep doing it. But I have to be here for dad and Judith.

Mary was asleep and honestly she looked adorable. I don't like her! She doesn't like me. But then again Glenn told me that she likes me. But I don't know if he's playing some sort of trick. Probably.

Noah had explained how he knows Mary. He's four years older than her. He told me that they're basically family. Always have been.

We came to a stop and everyone was called to the front of the large fire truck. Noah told me to leave Mary, since she needed the sleep.

"Noah, Mary told me you were from a town?" Rosita asked Noah.

"Yeah a small refuge centre in Virginia." Noah mumbled quietly. "But that was long ago. Like years ago. But it's worth a shot."

"Yeah come on Rick. Everyone deserves it. They need it." Carol told Dad.

It was true. Judy was getting fussy from being in the same car for so long. It wasn't fair on her.

"Okay it's settled. We're going to Virginia."

Awesome.
