Georgia POV
I started writing in my journal

13 months since the outbreak.

Daryl left because we found him brother. Baby Merle has Daryl's eyes, which caused me to break down.

Seeing Andrea just made me think of how much of a bitch she is. On top of that, when they went to Woodbury, we lost two good men.

The words he said yesterday, they kept repeating over and over in my head. What he said about the real Merle being his brother. How he said 'screw her' when rick asked him about me. How I handed him my ring then punched him.

I closed my book, then picked up Merle. "Hey little guy" I walked into the cafeteria, where Beth handed me a bottle. I walked outside. I went over and sat by Maggie.

"Hey Maggie" I smiled and started to feed the baby.

"How you doing? You know, with everything?" She asked.

I looked her, both wanting to answer but afraid I'll break into tears so I answered truthfully "not good. I keep hearing what he said over and over again. I want to tell myself it's a dream, but I know it's not" the tears streamed down my face

"It's alright..." she hugged me "there actually someone who wants to see you" I felt her hand move from behind me.

"Who?"

"You'll see. Here let me take him" I nodded and handed her Merle. "Ok turn around"

I turned... covering my mouth and completely breaking down. My knees gave out and I was now sitting on my knees. "Daryl? But you?" I slapped myself thinking was dreaming.
