Becca's Story II: The Spilt

Chapter Twelve: The Real Change

The next morning I sat up and starred at the door, I wanted to get out of bed, I wanted to walk but I knew if someone caught me walking, I would have gotten in trouble, especially with Glenn. I took my blanket off and looked at my lower legs where I had gotten shot, I was put into loose pants in cases the stiches needed to be looked at. I pulled up my pants legs and looked at the stiches, I closely looked at them, and I put my hands over them, not too hard to hurt myself and mess up the stiches. I pushed my pants legs back down to cover the stiches, I moved to the side of my bed hanging my legs over the bed and then putting my feet on the floor. Slowly I pushed myself up off the bed putting pressure on my legs, as I pushed myself of I groaned in pain but eventually had gotten to my feet. I stood up straight getting my balance and I could tell the muscles had gotten weak over the two days I stayed in bed, they would have been weaker if I didn't try to walk then Glenn and Maggie was helping me walk to my room yesterday. I starred at the ground and started walking a little, I eventually almost fell because I still was a little unbalanced and felt weak. I went to one side of my room and slowly walked to the other side, I had gotten to the other side and almost fell twice, I went to go walk to the other side of the room when Glenn walked into my room. "Becca what are you doing!?" Glenn said, "Glenn I couldn't lay in bed anymore, I want to get my strength back, could I please start walking around, could I walk around the house, I promise I wont leave, just walk around, the farthest I'll go outside is the porch," I said looking at Glenn, "Becca I really don't want you leaving your room," Glenn said, "Glenn, I cant keep laying in bed, please," I said, "fine, but Carl is keeping an eye on you," he said, "thank you," I said. Glenn helped me down stairs and sat me down in the living room, "sit here, I'll go get Carl and tell him you'll be here and that you're not to go any farther then the porch," Glenn said, "I didn't think that you would want me hanging out with Carl after the other day, and what are you and Maggie doing?" I asked, "Maggie and I are doing some stuff around Alexandria to keep it safe, and I'm not gonna keep you from being friends with your best friend," Glenn said. He left me with some food and him and Maggie soon left. About ten minutes later, Carl walked into the house, "hey, Glenn let you out of bed finally?" Carl asked, "yeah, after I convinced him to let me," I said with a small laugh. "He told me you're only allowed to move around the house but not leave, and the farthest you can go is to the porch," he said, "yeah, it can be hard convincing him, especially when he tries to care for family so much," I said, "yeah, but what do you expect to do during times like these, you have to make sure people you love is ok, just like you said Becca, you make stupid choices when it comes to your family," Carl said as we both started laughing a little. "So, your dad was in a coma before this all started? Did he wake up before it went down? Or after?" I asked, "he woke up a couple of months after this all happened, the way he came back though, I was crying because I was seeing them come back, but not my own father, but then I saw him come out of the truck, I ran to him still in tears, so happy to se him," Carl said, "I didn't tell you, but I was there when both my parents died, my mom was bitten right in front of me about two months after Alexis was born," I said looking over at Alexis who was playing with toys on the ground, "then either a couple of months or weeks after my mom, my dad committed suicide," I finished, "yeah, you told me that," Carl said, "but when my dad did, he did it, in front of me," I said looking at him, "oh wow, Becca," Carl said, "yeah, but it's not that bad, I just miss them, my sisters, my parents," I said. For about a half and hour I was talking and joking around with Carl, and walking around the living room to get strength back in my legs when Maggie came in, "I thought you and Glenn were working on something?" I said looking over at her, "he is going after Daryl to keep him from being killed by the person who killed Denise," Maggie said, "Glenn is gonna get himself killed! Sometimes I hate Glenn, I'm happy he's caring for our family, but ugh!" I said, "I know Becca, but it's what happens when you love and care about people," Maggie said, "I'll go get some snacks for the three of us," she finished and went into the kitchen. I sat down next to Carl and sighed, "Becca, Glenn will be fine, he's Glenn, want to know something on how I know he will be safe?" Carl said, "how," I said looking up at him, "he told me that a couple of days before my dad had found you, he and a old member of named Nicholas, he killed himself thinking that him and Glenn would have no way out, they were surrounded by walkers and was a garbage bucket, so when Nicholas fell, he fell on Glenn making them fall in the crowd of walkers, so then Glenn crawled under the bucket while the walkers ate Nicholas, so he'll make it out of this, he'll bring Daryl back safe," Carl said grabbing my hand. I smiled at him when Maggie came back out with some snacks, "I'm having Enid come over soon, I'm gonna have her cut my hair," Maggie said, "really, it's been so long I forgot what you looked like with short hair," I said with a small laugh, "yeah, I think it's time to change a few things, you know, living in a new place, I think this place will last," Maggie said, "yeah, but that's what we said about the prison, let's not get our hopes up," I said. We ate the snacks when Enid came over and cut Maggie's hair. "How does it look?" Maggie asked, "it looks great," Maggie said, "if it's bad, it's because I used to cut my dad's hair," Enid said, "no, I really like it," Maggie said. I was smiling at Maggie when all of a sudden she started she started grunting in pain, "oh my god Maggie!" I said quickly getting up and almost ran to Maggie, "what's wrong?" I asked in a panic, "it- it's something with the baby," Maggie said, "Carl tell your dad, we need to get Maggie to Hill Top!" I said. Carl quickly left to go get Rick, "what do you want me to do?" Enid asked, "keep an eye on Maggie, I'm going to get dressed," I said, "why?" Enid asked, "because I'm going," I said as I got up, "you cant go! You barley just got back up on your feet!" Enid said, "she is my sister, that's my niece or nephew, I'm going!" I said as I got into my room and got dressed. I quickly got down stairs back to Maggie, "Enid, I want you to go gather some guns," I said, "you're gonna need someone to get Maggie into the R.V.," Enid said, "Rick will come when he finds out and he will get her in," I said, "Just got get the guns!" I finished. Enid ran out as I stayed with Maggie, "Maggie it's going to be ok, don't worry, the baby will be fine," I said almost in tears. "Maggie!" Rick said running in, "Rick!" I said looking over, "let me get her into the R.V.," Rick said, "Rick I need to come," I said, "it's best you don't," Rick said, "this is my sister Rick! She's not my sister-in-law, she's my sister, and my niece or nephew, Rick I have to go!" I said, "fine let's go, but don't want too much, I don't know if you should be on your feet, so don't walk too much," Rick said. Rick picked up Maggie and we brought her into the R.V. and lied her down in the back of the R.V. while Abraham, Sasha, Carl, Eugene, Aaron, got on the R.V. as we left to Hill Top.
