The RV bumped and rattled over every passing stone, making it impossible for me to catch up on my sleep on the journey home.

I was sat across from Jesus, watching him like a hawk, In a protective and guilty sort of way I guess, I never wanted him hurt, and now he is because of me.

He stirred in his dose and caught me starring.

"I'm fine Blondie, really" he chuckled, trying to get up but then winced at the pain in his leg, "Okay maybe not fine, fine, but I'll okay In a few days"

I nodded pressing my lips together and smiling slightly.

I'm not sure how long we'd been driving but I grabbed the side of the couch and hauled my way to the front of the RV to go speak to Rick and Michonne.

I placed my hand on the back of Michonne's chair for support, she turned and looked at me, grinning.

Word's couldn't express how I felt right now, I guess free? No. It's too difficult, let's just say the only thing I could do was wrap my arms around Michonne and whispar multiple 'Thank Yous' in her ear, I felt her squeeze back slightly.

Them I turned towards Rick and smiled at him.

"H-how did you-" I began but he cut me off.

"We'd been planning it for days, working out the best ways, whether to take the whole of Alexandria in or not, we realised sending a few of us in would be easiest, we'd be unnoticeable" He explained, still keeping his gazed fix on the road infront of us.

"Thank You," I told him meaningfully, hugging his side, he chuckled whilst driving.

"No problem Malia"

I went to the back of the RV and sat down next of Dad's sleeping body and rested my head on his shoulder, trying to get some shut eye myself, even though I'd stuggled before.

I must of been able to eventually doze of as I woke to the sound of Rick's voice.

"We're here"

I think at that moment about a million butterflies exploded in my stomach, I hauled myself to my feet and stumbled towards the door of the RV as if drove threw the gates of Alexandria, the familiar sight of the guard tower just over the walls made me excited in a way, I was Home.

Once the RV had jolted to a halt and Rick had put it in part I threw myself out the door and looked left and right for anyone I could reunite with.

Eugene was standing a few meters away from me with a shocked expression, when I glanced up at him, it changed to a happy smile as he held out his arms, I ran up to him and hugged him, Eugene wasn't the smallest of guys, but I didn't care.

I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder and I turned round to see Maggie, she smiled at me and used her hand to pull my hair behind my ear.
