Just How Much Have I forgotten

Bekky's pov#

I screamed. I dropped to my knees and just screamed. How could they do that? Just take her away and drive off, threatening to come back and kill everyone. They knew where we lived! We are so fucked. As Katelyn said, were fucked. I should have believed her, she was right, damn she is alright right. I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration and lent forward. I kept my awareness high in alert in case of 'meat eating bastards'. I am shocked they weren't all drawn here. Maybe the shot was from somewhere else. Could that mean there was more of them out here?
'I can't lose people again, I can't just stand there and be helpless and just scream when things get tough' I remember me saying. It made me scream again. God I was being so stupid...

Twigged Snapped.

My head shot up and I quickly raised my gun, but then I realized it was just a 'meat eating bastard' or walker, same thing. I switched the gun for my knife and aimed for the hilt and took the body down to the ground with a loud thump. It takes me down with it and I struggle getting the knife out. I stand back up and sigh, glancing at the dead corpse which head has decided to keep my knife hostage. Kind of like Katelyn- Really mind?? Your going to friggin go there right now?!?

''Raaaararrrgh'' I heard more approaching. I glanced up and saw another one. Please really? I struggle to get the knife out and eventually I win. I walk over to the next one and take it down, this time my knife coming straight back out. I wipe the blood off on the grass and stop once I hear a car pull up. I pull my gun up fast again and point it towards the car. Three figures hop out. I instantly lower my gun and begin crying.

''Bekky, what are you doing out here?'' Andrew asks angrily. I shake my head racing up over to them, they were only 7 meters away.

''Was that you screaming?'' He asks as I race over to Chandler.

''Don't touch me'' He warns.

His eyes widen as I quickly wrap my arms around his neck, burying my face into his shoulder, silently crying. I could feel him stiffen, his arms were still by his sides.

''Please, I just need a hug'' I whisper. I could feel Morgan and Andrew watching us but I didn't care. I just really needed a hug. Hesitantly he wraps his arms around my waist loosely. I tighten my hold on him and on instinct his arms tighten around me. I was pretty sure I was suffocating him. I held for a little while longer until my tears have then stopped. I pull away slowly and don't bother to look him in the face, instead I turn to face Andrew and Morgan.

''Katelyn's gone'' Was all I said, making my way over to the car.

''I told you guys not to leave-'' He begins before I cut Andrew off.

''We were worried! We needed to find out! She wanted proof!'' I lie, hoping in the car and shutting the back door behind me. Soon after they hoped in after me and we began driving back to Alexandria. Was everything okay back home? Chandler was in the back with me. He didn't say anything and neither did I. I was just going to pretend nothing happened.

''Bekky, don't go anywhere I want to speak with you'' Andrew says as we make it back home. We all hop out of the car once parked and walk over to close the gate behind us. Morgan takes up guard as Andrew, Chandler and I make our way to their house.

''Now I know what you said back there was a load of bull'' Andrew states as we make our way through the front door. Gabrielle looked like a deer in headlights when we walked through. It was funny but I didn't laugh.

''Thank you Gabrielle'' Andrew says as Gabrielle and nods and leaves the house leaving the three of us alone.

''Check on Judith'' Andrew orders Chandler. He just nods and walks up the stairs, presumably to Judith's room.

''Can you tell me the truth now?'' Andrew asks pissed off. I cross my arms over my chest.

''That is the truth-'' I try and argue before he scoffs and shakes his head in disagreement.

''We go down this path we lose all trust'' He states seriously. I huff but then sigh.

''How did you know?'' I ask him curiously.

''You would never leave Judith unless you absolutely had to, or unless someone was in trouble, neither of these things have happened today, and Katelyn? What happened out there?'' He asks getting straight to the point. I glance out the window and take a deep breath.

''She said they were leaving to check out the noise'' I say softly.

''When Katelyn said that I know that it meant it was either Abraham, Tara, Sasha, Rosita, Steven, Lauren, Melissa, Eugene, Morgan, Chandler or you have gone'' I begin.

''I ruled out Melissa and Lauren straight away seeing they just got back and Lauren is pregnant and I know how all of you feel when she goes outside the walls, Tara because she is still grieving over Denise's passing and hasn't came out of her house yet, Rosita because she was teaching a self defense class, Abraham and Sasha because they both had guard duty, Eugene I wasn't sure about so I drawn it down to you four'' I said now bringing my voice down to a whisper.

''Chandler... I wanted to make sure he would also be alright, nothing can happen to him, he has been through to much'' I finish. Andrew absorbs all the information I gave him.

''He is not the same person, he has changed, he doesn't remember you, he isn't capable of loving anymore'' Andrew says, knowing I was deeply hurt still.

''I don't care what other people say, I still love him with all my heart'' my voice cracks.

''Katelyn was taken by the men we saw, it definitely has something to do with Negan'' I say quickly before rushing out the door and making my way home.

Chandler's pov#

I walked up the stairs and walked in to check on Judith. She was sound asleep. I smiled and bent over and kissed her on the forehead. I walked back out of the room and quietly closed the door behind me and make way towards the stairs.

''Chandler...'' I heard Bekky's say, I stop and hide behind the wall, deciding to listen in to their conversation.

''I wanted to make sure he would also be alright, nothing can happen to him, he has been through too much'' She continues on with sadness in her voice. I just rest my back against the wall and continued to listen.

''He is not the same person, he has changed, he doesn't remember you, he isn't capable of loving anyone'' Andrew says. I shake my head removing the own thoughts from my head.

''I don't care what other people say, I still love him'' Bekky says genuinely hurt. I decide to stop listening and make my way to my room. I shut the door behind me and move to lay on my bed. My thoughts began to consume me.

'Just how much have I forgotten?'
