"Falling in love. And say, it's crazy. Falling. You see? We don't say 'rising into love.' There is in it the idea of the fall." -Alan Watts

Once I got home, I had a shower. Maybe that'll make me feel better? It didn't. It made it worse. It left me alone with my thoughts, and I couldn't deal with it any longer. Should I have broken up with him? Or should I have talked to him? I felt like I made the wrong decision, and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
I walked outside and was standing with Michonne, Maggie, and Rosita.
"The town was overrun. He split off with Nicholas. He had this idea that If he lit a fire, it would stop the walkers from coming here. I tried to go instead. I wanted to. The fire never got lit. We had to keep going. I'm sorry. He said if he got stuck, he would find a way to send us a signal," Michonne explained to us.
Glenn wasn't here, and that was enough to make Maggie and I worry like hell. My thoughts were interrupted by yelling and walkers growling in the distance.
"Open the gate!" I heard a gruff voice yell.
"Open the gate, now!"
There it was again. What the hell? I followed Maggie and Michonne to the gate, and we quickly pulled it open. Hundreds, maybe even thousands of walkers, coming our way. And there was Rick, running for his life.
"Shit," I mumbled and shot a few walkers that were too close for my liking.
He quickly ran in, any other sound muffled by the sea of flesh-eating walkers. They're everywhere.

Walkers surrounded every inch of the walls. We're trapped. Daryl can't get in. I can't see him. The least I can do is help. Most of the Alexandrians did nothing but watch in fear. I was keeping watch, hoping my uncle, Glenn, Sasha, and Abe would return safely. I don't know what I'd do without them.
As I was bending down to get something, I heard footsteps up the ladder. Guess who got a nice view of my ass...Carl. I stood up quickly and rolled my eyes at him.
"Why?" He asked.
"Why what?"
"Why did you break up with me?" He asked, obviously hurt and clueless.
"Carl? It's because you found someone else. You care for someone else. You love someone else! Don't act like you don't know! I've noticed you staring at her! I've noticed you falling for her! That's why!" I was now yelling at him, and everyone was staring.
I pulled off my necklace that he gave me and dropped it in his flannel pocket.
"We have bigger things to worry about," I mumbled on my way down.
"Hope you enjoyed the show!" I yelled at everyone.
