The drive was peaceful. Well, except for the fact that Merle was still at the roof

You and Rick changed places. You were driving for a long time and you were sleepy

You sat in the passengers seat thinking about Merle and how you left him. You couldn't get any sleep because of the thought.

You sat there thinking about Merle hoping and praying he would be okay, your thoughts going to places you didn't want it to go

"Don't think too much of it" Morales spoke softly

You turned your sleepy head towards him then put your head back against the window

"Of what?" You asked sheepishly

"Merle. You know, nobody is gonna miss him if he doesn't come back"

You tried calming yourself down because Morales was making you angry.

How could no one care about a soul?!

Your mind asked itself in disbelief

"Well, Maybe Daryl"

You turned your head hearing the new name

"Daryl?" Rick asked

"His brother" Morales spoke

Right after Morales said that, you heard a sound an alarm coming closer and closer

You looked out the window and saw Glenn riding the car Rick gave him, an innocent smile formed on his lips

You smiled at it pushing Merle's thought away from your head

"At least somebody's having a good day" Morales spoke in his soft voice

"Yeah, he deserves it" you say quietly

Rick kept driving following Morales directions until you all started going up a hill

The place was beautiful. Not something you didn't get used to, but you never really sat in a quiet place in almost two days, no sleep.

When Rick reaches the top of the hill, you saw the car Glenn was driving and another truck with a few people, not many.

Morales patted you and Rick's shoulder

"Come meet everybody" Morales says getting out of the vehicle from the back, the rest following close by

You and Rick sat there watching Morales go to his family, his wife and two kids, a boy and a girl, both probably around 9-10 years old.

You saw Andrea go hug a girl hard handing her a necklace Andrea took from the shop, you saw Jackie and T-dog go and hug everybody.

You looked to your left facing Rick

"You good?" You ask in your soft voice

"Yeah" he answers but you knew he wasn't

"What's on your mind, officer friendly?" You ask smirking

Rick turned his head towards you and gave you a grin

"My family"

That's all he said before getting out of the truck

You sat there, lifting one leg in front of you while your head rested on your hand that was resting on the window, feeling tired

You took a deep breath from your nose and exhaled it from your mouth before watching Rick run

You smiled when you saw him hug a little boy, his son, falling to the ground hugging him tightly like he was gonna lose him in any moment
