Hey cutie, i hope you had a good day. I love you 🥰❤️

~Aaliyah's Pov~

Michonne and Rick were burying Carl. I was sitting outside of the building that Carl spent his last moments. I didn't want to be there when they were burying him. I was sitting on the porch. Still trying to process what just happened. I don't think i'll ever be over this. But who really will be over this? What's going to happen to Rick? I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to move away. I looked up and saw Rick. I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "It's done.." he said looking at me. Rubbing my shoulder. Another tear fell from my eyes. He looked away from me and pulled me in for a hug. I hugged him back. "We're heading back to the hilltop in a bit." He said holding me, Putting a hand on the back of my head.

I nodded. He nodded too. We let go and put a hand on my back as we walked, He lead me to the back where He and Michonne buried Carl. As we approached, i saw there was a cross made out of sticks, tied with a thin rope. My heart stayed racing again, I felt it ache as i bent down to the floor. I caught my breath slight as i got on my knees. I closed my eyes bowing my head, crying softly. Trying to control myself since Rick and Michonne were here. Rick came down with me, Sort if in a squat. He wrapped his arm around me and rubbed my shoulder trying to comfort me. I opened my eyes and put my hand on the dirt, I dug a small hole and pulled out my knife with it's holster.

Rick and Michonne watched me, not knowing what i was doing. I put my knife in the whole and buried it with Carl.

I have his knife. He has mine.

I have a picture of us. He has a picture of us.

I put Carl's knife on my belt where mine was and i dusted the dirt off my hands. "Cmon.." Rick said putting his hand off my shoulder. He rubbed my back slightly and stood up not taking my eyes off his grave. We heard moans and growls from our right causing us to finally look away from the grave. We saw Walkers, They were starting to get in here. We started taking them out. Rick ended up taking Carl's gun, i saw he was holding it. "We're gonna pack up, only what we need then we leave. Meet up with the rest." Rick said as we made way to his house. I nodded. We started packing up things, Well mostly Rick. The moment i walked into his place, i sat down on the couch. Now i was just slowly going into shock, Trying to process. Michonne walked in a few minutes later and went up to Rick who was in the Kitchen gathering food and water. "Hey, we gotta go." I hear her say. "Let's go," Rick said patting my arm slightly as he passed by me. I stood up and we headed outside, putting them in the Van. Earlier, Rick took a radio from one of the Saviors in the floor so we had a way to communicate now.

"Hey," Rick said. I looked over to see both he and Michonne were looking over. I looked over too and saw more walkers coming to Alexandria by the minute. If we didn't leave, we'd be trapped. Other than the walkers, they were looking at the wooden canopy that was coming up in flames. "He use to sit on the roof." Michonne said looking at Rick. He did, It was somewhere he went to clear his head. Sometimes i'd sit with him too, but it was rare when i did since like i said, he sat up there to think or clear his head.

"We have to go." Rick said. She took the fire extinguishers from the van and ran towards the canopy. Rick handed me Carl's gun and took the second extinguisher that we had and ran to help Michonne. Right now Carl's gun was the only gun with a silencer and we cant risk any more walkers coming. As i ran, following him to the canopy i took the safety off the gun. While they attempted to put the fire out, I took down walkers that were getting too close to them. "Rick- we can't stay." I said looking around. They were drawing attention to each other with the extinguishers. Rick looked around and saw them too.

"Michonne." He called out but she kept on taking down walkers and trying to stop the fire. "Michonne please." I called out. Rick called out one last time and she dropped the extinguisher. "Go." Rick said and we made our way back to the van. We took down some more walkers on our way to the van, I got in the back of the van and leaned against one of the walls. Rick started driving to the exit. I closed my eyes and rested my head on the wall.

Michonne and Rick were speaking but i blocked them out. The last thing i wanted was to break down here. I was trying to calm down, even just the slightest. We kept going and after a while i couldn't take it anymore. I felt like i couldn't breathe. I opened my eyes and shook my head. "Stop." i said. Rick looked at me through the mirror. "Please- Just stop the car. Stop." i said. I wanted to get to the Hilltop, i wanted to be with Daryl.

We weren't that far from it, and with the walk, i'm hoping will just let me breathe and calm down. "Aaliyah we can't-" I cut him off. "Rick- Please I can't- be in here." i said looking at him through the mirror. He stopped the van and i opened the van doors from the back. I got out and closed the doors, Rick and Michonne stepped out of the van and came over to me. I looked over to Rick. "I wanna go to the Hilltop." I said handing him Carl's gun back to him.

He took the gun. "Michonne will go with you." Rick said looking at me. I shook my head, "I want to be alone. Please.. I wanna go be with Daryl right now. I need him." i said as i felt my heart start to race once again. "I can't let you do that." He said. "I'll be okay. I promise. Ill stay out of trouble. I'll take woods." i said softly. I kept looking at him. I pulled out my gun and checked my clip. It was a little over half way full. "I know how to manage. You know i do. You know i know how to defend myself." I said looking at him.

He kept looking at me, not speaking. "Please Rick. Please." I said softly. He looked around for a second. "Wait here.." he said looking and walked away over to the passenger side of the van. I then saw him came back to me, holding a piece of paper. He reached me and looked down at the paper as he stood in front of me. I looked down at the paper too. I saw my name was written on the front of it in sloppy hand writing.

Rick looked at me and i did the same. "Carl wrote cards.." he said looking at me. "Promise me you'll come back. To Hilltop. Promise me you'll be there." I said as my voice shook. He nodded looking at me. "I promise." He said looking at me. I nodded a bit and he pulled me in for a hug. I hugged him and he hugged me back. "Hey," he said pulling away. I let go and looked at him. He held out the letter to me and i took it, looking down at it. Rick took out Carl's gun again and held it towards me. "You give this back to me, I want to see you again." he said holding his gun between us both.

I looked down at the gun. "Do you understand.? We have to see each other again." Rick said. I looked at him and nodded. "Yes." i said softly. He nodded and handed me his gun. I took it and held the gun and the letter in the same hand. "If you get to the others. Tell them we went to see Jadis." He said. I nodded a bit and I hugged Michonne quickly and walked away quickly from them, running my hand through my hair. The van took off and i made my way to Hilltop through the woods being careful.
