~Aaliyah's Pov~

It was the same day, Right now i was where Abraham and Glenn were buried in the back. I've been here for a while, just sitting here. I got up and started walking back to the benches. I saw Rick making his way back here too. "Rick." i said softly as i reached him. "Hey" he said softly, I shook my head a bit. "When did you get back?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows the slightest. "Not so long ago, Michonne's here too." He said nodding. I returned it, "Did you find what you were looking for? With Jadis?" I asked. 

He shook his head. "No, they''re gone. It's just her. Saviors slaughtered 'em all." He said. I raised an eyebrow. "They're all dead?" i asked. He nodded. "Yeah." he said. I looked away slightly, for a second but then snapped out of it. I pulled out Carl's gun and handed it to him. He took it after a few seconds. "I'm glad you're safe." he said putting a hand on my shoulder. 

I nodded looking at him as my heart skipped a beat. "I'm glad you're okay too." I said as my voice shook. He squeezed my shoulder slightly. "We'll be okay." he said softly. I nodded a bit and he let go. I walked away from him, knowing he came back here for Glenn, he wanted to be alone. "Aaliyah." Rick said. I looked back at him. "Did you uh.. read the letter yet?" He asked looking at me. I shook my head a bit. "I tried, But i couldn't.. Have you?" I asked. He shook his head. "not yet.." He said. I nodded a bit. "I need to talk to you.. come with me when you want to hear it." I said. He nodded and backed away. Finally walking towards where Glenn and Abraham were buried. 

Daryl walked up to me. "Hey, Seen Rick?" he asked. "He's back there, Go in a few minutes though. he just went back there." i said looking at him. "Maggie's lookin' for ya." he said pointing. I saw Rosita, Michonne, Maggie and Enid. "Thanks," i said softly. He nodded and i walked over to them. "Hey." i said looking at them. They looked over to me. Maggie held out a paper towards me. "We found something. Rosita went to go check it out." She said as i read the paper. 

If you fill the crates with food or phonograph records i will gladly exchange for a key to your future. 

I checked the back to see there were numbers, coordinates. "Are we actually meeting them? What if it's a trap? I don't want to lose anyone else. I wouldn't want to risk it.." I said shaking my head a bit, looking at the paper. "We know one thing for sure, This isn't the Saviors. They blew through the gates to make a big show. This isn't that." Michonne said looking at us. "I'm not putting nothing past them." Maggie said. "Well if it is a trap it's kinda obvious." Rosita said. "But- i mean.. If it was a trap.. They probably think we're gullible. If they have scouts, they saw us take it." i said looking at them. They all looked at me. "Um- we can.. Flip it. Make this a trap for them." I said. Maggie nodded looking at me.  

"What if this is someone who actually wants to help us?" Michonne asked looking at all of us. "If someone is trying to help us and we miss out, We miss out. Id somebody's trying to kill us, We die." Maggie said looking at her. "Not if we're careful." Michonne said. "Being careful is staying here." Enid said looking at her. I looked at her. "I'll go. I'll see what's up." Michonne said. "You go, I go." Rosita said. "Rick wants us here." Enid said. "I know, but the last time we took a chance like this it changed everything. Rick didn't agree with me then, He may not understand me now.." Michonne said.

"He won't." Maggie said. "But eventually he will." Michonne said walking away from us. "Jesus and the others have been scavenging and we're still starving." Maggie said looking at us. I looked at her too. "Maybe this person has something that can help." She said. I nodded. "Okay, i'm going then." I said looking at her. She nodded. "I'm going too." Enid said. "Okay. I'll grab records, case this is real. You get extra clips in case it isn't." Maggie said looking at Enid. She nodded. "Let me talk to you," Maggie said looking at me. We walked away from them and she looked at me. "Did he give you that ring?" She asked looking at my hand. I looked down at my hand. I nodded. "Yeah, before.." i said softly and played around with it. 

"We were out there.. Looking for Siddiq. But he also said he was looking for something, this was it." I said looking at it. "It's a promise ring." she said holding my hand as she looked at it. "A promise ring?" i asked a bit confused. She nodded. "Yeah, it's when- let's say a couple is really serious but they're too young to get married. This is saying- in words that i love you and i promise to stick by you though anything. it's leading up to marriage." She said letting my hand go. I looked at the ring. 

I smiled the slightest. "He said it was our wedding ring.." i said smiling the slightest. She smiled. "it's the thought that counts. If he said it's a wedding ring, it's a wedding ring." She said looking at me. I looked at her and she smiled at me. I gave her a small smile and she held my hand. "I'm gonna go get some more ammo," I said softly. She nodded. "Meet me at the house okay?" She asked. I nodded, she did the same and let go. I went around looking for Daryl, but i didn't find him so i made my way to the house where i met up with the girls. I needed to keep myself distracted and try to keep my spirit up.

"Hey, Have any of you seen Daryl?" I asked. Rosita, Michonne and Maggie turned to me. "He left with Rick a while ago." Rosita said. I looked at her and furrowed my eyebrows a bit, Looking at her confused. "They left?" i asked softly. "He didn't tell you?" Michonne  asked looking at me. I shook my head. "No.." I said looking away. He didn't even say goodbye. He didn't tell me where he was going. "They'll be fine." Maggie said giving me a small nod. We headed outside and took off to the coordinates.
