3 years.

I wiped my eyes and stumbled outside of the train with everyone else.
"Son of a bitch is outta fuel." Abraham grunted.
"Now what?!" Carl shouted.
"We have to keep moving, those walkers, they're gonna follow us here." I yawned.
"That's what happened to us, we were on a train but the walkers followed us." Clementine sniffled.
"You managed to work a train!" Tara exclaimed. "This little girl's a genius!"
"It wasn't me..." Clem mumbled.
"Now'a not the time for jokes." Rick declared. "Sadie's right, we have to keep moving."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Can we get some more rest first?" Beth yawned.
"We don't have much time, we should keep moving and then find a spot to rest at." Rosita stated.
Glenn suddenly started towards a small sign at the side of the tracks.
"Glenn, go to terminus. Maggie." He read out loud.
He paused for a moment, processing the information. Then he sprinted.
We all looked at each other and ran after him.
"GLENN!" Beth screamed after him.
"YER OUTTA YER MIND, KID!" Daryl let out a frustrated shout.
Glenn didn't even look back at us. despite his heavy armor and luggage he ran faster than any of us.
"Wait Glenn!" Clementine yelped.
That got him to turn around.
"I have to find her!" He shouted back desperately. He ran off again.
We were walking for the whole day. I had a cramp after walking and running for so long. I was walking beside Beth who was talking about her thousands of ex-boyfriends. I looked ahead at Carl, who was walking like the rest of us. I like him, I thought to myself. He looked like a total badass with his sheriff hat tilted to the side, shotgun in hand.
"I see you looking at Carl." Beth smirked.
"Hmmph? Oh, Carl. Um... I guess he's kinda cute..."
"Sadie has a cruuush!" She teased.
"More like boyfriend..." I whispered, not meaning for her to hear me.
"What?!" She gave me a wide smile.
"Well, like, I kissed him." I blushed.
"Isn't he a little player." she laughed.
"What do you mean?" I frowned.
"He had a crush on me before! Now he's over me and crushing on you!" She laughed even harder.
"Oh..."
"Well, he really likes you I guess." She smiled. I smiled back and we kept walking.
"Lately he's been very quiet." I murmured.
"He's having a rough time."
"He seemed to be pushing everyone out."
"Other than you" Beth sighed. "He needs you, Sadie. Stick with him, help him through this. He needs someone. We all need someone. But you two, you're still young. You can't let this apocalypse shit ruin you. Okay?"
"Okay." I smiled. "Thanks."
It was getting dark and there was some sort of a tunnel ahead of us where we could sleep. We all approached the tunnel and crawled in through a small gap. Everyone suddenly froze in there tracks. A small flame flickered at the end of the tunnel. Glenn stepped forwards and a flash light waved at him.
"Glenn?" A feminine voice asked.
"Maggie?" Glenn almost whispered.
"GLENN!" The women, or Maggie, ran up and hugged him.
"Maggie." Glenn smiled.
