The people around were kind, kind enough to lend us a hand as one tent was pitched and everyone settled themselves in. We were comfortable, that's all that could be really said, the heat had cooled down. And with my jacket removed and my body laying on the sleeping bag, I figured it'd be alright to sleep.

But my mind was wide awake, even with every method in the book used. I couldn't find it in myself to calm down. 

Did I make the right choice? 
Where is Merle? Are they okay? 
My smile peered up in the instance. 'Are the Dixon's okay?' With my elbow acting as an extra pillow above my own, I began to shake my head. Of course they're okay, and so are we. 

I don't need sleep.

Rubbing my eyes as gently as I could, did I wonder out of the tent. Stuffing my feet into the issued boots and throwing over the jacket due to the fact the night's air seemed to surprise me even more than the fact that people took refuge here too. 
And it wasn't just a family or two. It was at least a few dozen people more or less, the heads from the little fire weren't enough to get a proper count. But most of all, I think I just needed the fresh air. 

"Hey." A whisper sounded, and at first I was confused. The sound came from before me, but I couldn't find the source. Not until the moon's outline over the R.V came to pass, and the two figures up on top waved. 

Going around the corner so I climb back up, already from the view did I recognize Dale's posture and rifle still strapped to his hold. "Couldn't sleep?" I shook my head, pulling the jacket all the bit closer to me as I smiled to the newer figure.

"Hey...I'm Glenn." He spoke softly, his hand already out before me and I kindly took it.
"Didn't really get the formal introduction of everyone else..." Looking back to the tent did I worry on Addie now, this short walk around turned into a social gathering. But I understood their curiosity. So I began to tell them both of who's in my group.
