Tj's P.O.V

Everything has changed. I lost my daughter, my car, almost my wife and Nikki. I don't think I'm caught up on everything just yet. Things are almost worse than before. Paige is starting to act quiet. Nikki has been trampled by walkers about 10 times. She doesn't check behind her or nothing. I just wish Paige would make all the kids stay inside while me and her go out there together.

Me and Paige found out about Mitch cutting and we put a stop to it. We got him depression medicine as well as Paige. He acts a lot better knowing that everything with him will be fine. Paige hasn't been really talking since we got to this place three days ago.

"Paige?" I ask. She looks at me and smiles. "Yes, babe?" She replies back. "Is there anything wrong? You've been quiet lately. I need to know what's going on. Is that medicine helping you any?" I ask her. She looks at me and frowns. "I don't really know how to tell you this, bu-" She says before I interrupt her, "You did it again?! Why they fuck did you do it! You were doing so well! How could you do this again! Do you know what's gonna happen if our kids find out?! They will be disappointed to know that their mom cut her wrist again!" I say crying. "Why didn't you talk to me?" I say more quiet than when I was yelling at her. "I didn't know what to do.. It was only one time. I covered it though. It's a little deep." She says quietly. "You could get infected! What the fuck is wrong with you?! I could lose you! Do you know that?! I can't live the world without you!" I say yelling at her as she's crying. I look down at her wrist and see a huge bandage covered in blood. "I'm really sorry.." She says with the make up down her face. I take my sleeve to wipe off the make up on her face and she looks up at me. I smile at her to let her know that I'm fine. I take Paige back to our room and put a new bandage on her. I had to sew the cut shut since it wouldn't stop bleeding. "Better?" I ask her. "Yeah. Thanks." She says to me with a kiss and walks out to help with the bags.

About two hours later, I walk up to Paige again and ask her, "Are you okay? Are you taking the medicine?" She turns around with my hands on her waist and says, "Yeah. I'm happy you found out and not the kids." She kisses me. Her lips are trembling. She was about to cry again. "Are you sure you're okay?" I ask her again. "I just really feel bad for doing this again.. I don't care if it was one. You don't deserve this." She says back to me. I look at her with a pain face. "Of course I deserve this. I'm your husband. I'm supposed to love you even when you're dead. I always will love you." I say to her. I pull her in for a hug and she squeezes me tightly and says, "I love you. And I'm sorry.." I kiss her forehead and reply, "It's okay baby. It's okay."
