I was outside on the porch with a blanket around me staring at the sky. Maggie was also out here, but we didn't speak a word. I didn't want to and I think the same went for her, which I didn't mind. The silence was normal for me, but still it felt like a blessing to have. I swore on numerous occasions my mom was going to stride out the house and slam a bottle on the floor before yanking me by the hair and abusing me inside. It was then that I remembered she was dead and I was with a group. My first group even to be exact.

" You like to stare at the stars?" Maggie asked and I looked over to her.

She was very gorgeous with short brown hair and green eyes. She almost reminded me of a famous model I saw once in a news article.

" When my mom was asleep either from overdose or drunk after beating me, I would climb the attic and just stare at them. The little dipper was my favorite."

" You're parents were abusers ?"

" Parent. My father left before I was born, but yes. My mom would beat me saying I was a mistake or throw bottles of whiskey at me."

" I'm sorry about that."

" Don't be. If she was alive, I wouldn't be here. If she never abused me, I would be weak. I don't need no sorrow for some dumb shit that happened in my life. That's why I don't lie about it. Someone ask, I tell them." I said when I saw lights in the distance.

A car pooled more up and I noticed Glenn's baseball hat and T-dog coming out. They walked near the porch not even seeing Maggie or I yet.

" So do we ring the bell ? I mean it looks like people live here." Glenn said looking around the house unsure and nervous.

T-dog walked to the doors shaking his head." We're past that kind of stuff, aren't we ? Having to be considerate."

" Did you close the gate up the road when you drove in ?" Maggie said scaring the boys and having them look over. Glenn recognized me and waved which made me wave back.

" Uh, hi. Yes, we closed it. Did the latch and everything." Glenn said while Maggie leaned forward on her seat. Glenn redden a bit and looked away from her and to the ground." Hello, nice to see you again. We met before briefly."

" Look, we came to help, there anything we can do ?" T-dog said cringing at his wound. Maggie got up looking to the wound looking fearful. I stepped up for him not really knowing why.

" It's not a bite. He cut himself pretty bad though." I said seeing Glenn smiled to me, but I didn't return it.

" We'll have it looked at. I'll tell them you're here."

" We have some painkillers and antibiotics. I already gave him some. If Carl needs any."

" Come on Inside. I'll make you something to eat." Maggie said walking inside with me being the last one.

When we walked inside, we saw Hershel taking Carl's pressure while Lori and Mr. Grimes were at his bedside. Hearing our footsteps, they turned to us seeing the new arrival's .

Glenn saw how bad Carl looked and took his hat off." Hey."

" Hey."
