This was by far one of the worst mornings of my life.

Right after Daryl had gotten me to calm down he brought me back to my cell and he told me to wait here while Rick called an emergency council meeting.

The council consisted of Rick, Hershel, Glenn, Maggie, Michonne, Daryl, Carol , Tyreese and Sasha.

They were discussing what to do with this whole situation... I was still confused on how they even knew we were out there.

I sat on bed and tried to read and get my mind off of it, which was impossible.

I should've just told them about Daniel when it first happened... All of this could've been avoided.

Now they were never going to trust me again... I mean why would they? I stole a gun and a key from them and lied to them multiple times.

Not to mention a kid was dead and Sasha was probably in that council meeting telling them that I killed him.

"Clem?" Said a panicked voice

I looked up from where I was sitting and saw Carl standing at the cell door moving the curtains.

"Hey" I said as I put my book down

"What the hell happened out there?" He asked clearly worried

"How do you know about that?" I asked nervously wondering if I had became the next prison gossip story

"I eavesdropped on the council meeting for a couple of minutes after after you came back" he said as he sat next to me

"What'd you here?" I asked

"I heard that... That Sasha tried to kill you" He said with his voice trembling a little bit "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine" I said as I let out a small sigh

"Thank god" Carl mumbled "what happened?"

"It's..." I said trying to think about how to explain in "it's a long story"

"Clem" he said "you can trust me"

"Okay... Well Um... It started a couple of days ago... Right before dinner Bella came back to the cell and she was covered in blood..." I began "She and a guy named Daniel from Block D..."

I told him the whole story from Bella going outside the fence to me covering it up for her to Sasha blackmailing me and trying to shoot me.

"Oh shit" he mumbled

We sat in silence for a few seconds before I spoke up.

"I get it... If you don't trust me anymore" I said looking at the ground

"I still trust you" he said in almost a whisper before he raised his voice a tiny bit "I'm just... debating wether or not you actually trust me or anyone here"

"What?" I asked taken back by his question "I just told you that whole story because I trust you"

"Yeah but..." He began "If Sasha had never confronted you would you have told me?"

I hesitated before I answered, I would never had told him. It's not because I don't trust him it's because I don't want to drag him into my mess.
