"Maggie is everything okay?" Glenn asks
"Everything is fine Glenn. We have any water?" I ask
He nods and hands me two bottles of water.
"Thanks" I say taking them
He smiles but it quickly fades, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, promise" I say giving a fake smile
"Maggie..." Michonne says loudly, poking her head out of the door biting her lip out of nervousness.
I quickly hand the bottles back to my husband and run back in there. I enter without closing the door, Michonne next to me. I checked for a pulse but again found nothing, I started compressions again. Before I knew it, everyone was in the doorway.
"Maggie what happened" Rick says going through everyone
"I-I need a defibrillator Rick. Now" I demand, my voice shaky
"I can make something up" Eugene says
"Well hurry up!" I yell
"Maggie let me" Rick says taking over
I start pacing around the room. If my dad was here, he'd have her alive. Glenn comes over to me and hugs me tightly.
"She's going to be fine, I know she will and so do you..." He says calmly
"You don't know that..." My voice was a whisper
"You know she's strong. Daryl can't take her out that easily, even I saw that in her"
I held onto Glenn tightly, then I heard a weird charging sound and Eugene yelling, "Clear!" Then a shock
I can't even look, seeing a lifeless body flop on a bed. Glenn's arm is wrapped around me and he leads me to the door, to find Daryl in our way.
"Get out of my way" I say to Daryl bitterly
He doesn't move, his eyes are locked on what is going on inside the room.
"Move!" I yell, shoving him out of my way
Glenn closes the door and starts to take me over to a pew while Daryl goes over to the door. I go over and stand in front of it.
"You made her heart stop, why should you go in there and see if she comes back or not. What you want to go in there and watch her die because you know you gave her too much, is that it!?" I yell
He doesn't answer, he looks down to me. His eyes full of tears, I've never seen him like this. Seeing him so upset didn't affect me, he put her like that so why should he care.
"I-I didn't mean to hurt her..." He says quietly
"Why didn't you come get me then!?"
"I thought I could do it"
"Well guess what, you couldn't! G-Get out of my face and stay away from her" I say to him, pissed off
Daryl was hurting, badly. He sat next to the door and hugged his knees. I went back over to Glenn who wrapped me in his arms and held me on the pew.
"He loves her, you know that right?" Glenn whispers in my ear
"He tried killin' her" I whisper back
"No he didn't, the syringe he used wasn't labeled. He eyeballed how much he gave her, I checked..."
I sigh and rest my head on his chest. This can't be real...
A few minutes later, Eugene came out of the room followed by Abraham and Rosita. Then Father Gabriel, Tara, and Carol. Sasha hadn't gone in there, but I'm surprised Carol did. Judith was asleep in her little box. Rick, Michonne, and Carl were the only ones left in there. As each person walked out, they didn't have a happy or sad look on their face. They all passed Daryl without even looking at him. I got up and slowly made my way over to the door. Daryl looked up at me, his eyes red and puffy.
"Can I go in now?" He asks quietly
"I don't know, are you gonna try and kill her again" I went to say harshly but it came out plain
He shook his head and stood up.
"Just stay here a second" I stop him and go in, closing the door behind me
"How is she..." I ask, wrapping my arms around myself
"I can't tell..." Rick says sighing
"She barely has a pulse" Michonne says looking at the floor
I look over at Carl, he is sitting next to her holding her hand. Not in a weird way, he just wants her back. She was his buddy...
"Daryl wants to know if he can come in" I say quietly
Rick sighs heavily, "I'll strip him of any weapons and bring him in. Maybe I'll stay while the rest of us leave them alone"
"I'm not leaving her dad..." Carl says through his tears
Carl's words hit Rick like a steel rod to the face.
"Can you make sure Daryl doesn't do anything stupid then?"
"I'm not going to let him lay a finger on her dad, not unless he asks" Carl says, not even looking at Rick
"Alright then I guess it's settled. Let's leave them alone"
-Daryl's POV-
I didn't mean to give her too much of the Propofol. I didn't want her dead. I needed to see her before I kill myself from her leaving me. She wasn't the same but I felt so empty and alone without her by my side.
When everyone left her room, Maggie went in but stopped me. Soon she came back out followed by Rick and Michonne. Her and Michonne went to their beds and Rick stood me up. He patted me down and took everything from me.
"Just want to be safe. You can go in now" He says sternly
I nod and slowly enter her room. What I saw was Carl crying, hugging her body. Seeing him crying hurt me so much. I caused more pain than I thought...
"Carl... 'm sorry..." I say slowly going over to him
"Don't come any closer!" He says through his tears
"...How is she..."
"Barely has a pulse. Too faint..." He doesn't even look at me
