New Ending *RARL*

Episode 14 - part 2

"You gonna talk or we just going to sit in silence?" Rosita questions rather impatience.

Keeping my eyes forward and down the track I keep my mouth shut. We were waiting for Denise and Daryl to hurry up and show up from down the other way. 

"I heard about your friend." Rosita says loudly as if she wasn't sure whether I can hear her. "His name was Ron, right?"

"Is." I answer. "His name is Ron."

Rosita pauses for a second. "Wait, he isn't dead? What the hell are you doing out here then?"

I don't answer.

"Christ kid, if it was my friend fighting for his life back home... I don't think I could have left their side." Rosita admits though she sounds more as if she was talking to herself. "Why did you come out here?"

"I needed time to- I don't know... Breathe I guess." I answer still watching the tracks.

"Then just take a walk around the block." Rosita retorts in disbelief. "You- You don't just abandon them."

"I didn't abandon him if anything he-"

My voice filled with anger cuts off as I look to Rosita. She seemed caught off guard at my sudden outburst. Realising I had snapped my gaze drops to the ground. I see Rosita head tilt as if she was trying to figure out something while her line of sight remained on me. That when realisation seem to spread on her face as well as a sense of pity follow in her words.

"Carl... Were you and Ron...?" Rosita question quietly.

Before I can even decide what my answer will be the sound of Daryl and Denise footsteps come from down the street. I glance over my shoulder just to make sure it was them. Rosita decides to drop the question while she moves to get up and stand by me.

"Bout time." Rosita remarks. "Carl gone mute."

I roll my eyes whilst Daryl continues to walk on and Denise moves to stand by Rosita. I walk ahead beside Daryl letting Denise and Rosita talk. Hopefully that meant the two of them leaving me alone for the time being. Though it was obvious Daryl was annoyed so I decided to stay quiet and continue to walk by his side. I kept my eyes on the surrounding tree and buildings, part of me hoping to find a walker. I tried to stop my thoughts lingering to Ron.

However in trying to ignore my thoughts about him I just started to be flooded with worry thoughts. I tap my finger tips against the knife that sat in my waist band. I could see Daryl side glancing me with the way I was acting but he choose to say nothing. And Jesus, was I happy he didn't. I don't think I could handle someone asking if I was okay anymore.

Walking in silence was unbearable to a point after a few minutes. The longer we stayed quiet the louder my thoughts got with screaming at me. Ron ran through my mind, mostly the sight of him laying on the ground in his blood. Feeling restless I reach up to adjust my hat only to realise I hadn't been wearing it. So instead I settle for pushing my hair back. I drop my hand back down so it landed on top of the blade that was strapped to my waist band.

"There!" Denise points out loudly.

Risota clamps a hand over Denise mouth. "Shush."

Denise eyes widen before answering with a muffled, "Sorry."

Daryl tighten his lips together as if to stop himself from saying something. I can't ever remember him doing that for anyone. I decide not to question it. Instead look where Denise is pointing only to see a store that was covered in hand prints of blood. You have got to be kidding me. The other's of course see nothing wrong with this and with weapons raised they move towards the store. I walk behind everyone else following their lead of keeping a look out.
