Daryl Dixon:

I woke up in my own cell for the first time in a while, I stretched and rubbed my eyes before climbing out of bed and throwing on some clothes. I used a bottle of water to brush my teeth in the sink, pulled on my doc martin boots and left the cell. I saw Beth downstairs holding Judith and Carol getting things together to make breakfast. Walking past Daryl's cell and I didn't hear anything, he could've already gone out for the day, anger bubbled back up in me as I thought of what he said to me last night. I headed down the stairs and grabbed a meal replacement bar before heading outside. I sat on the bench in the sun and let the heat soak into my skin, "Hey" Daryl's voice sounded from behind me. I looked over at him and then fixed my eyes on some walkers in the field past the gate, Daryl straddled the bench next to me "I'm sorry, I was out of line. Shouldn't have called you that...or said those things to ya" He said, I felt his eyes watching my face before I turned to him "I was just worried about you" I said looking into his eyes, he slipped his hand gently over mine "I know, baby girl" He scooted closer to me so that I was in between his legs and he pulled me to lean against his chest. "Sorry" He mumbled gruffly against my neck, resting his forehead against the side of my head.

Carl Grimes:

"Y/n? Are you okay?" I heard from behind me, I turned to see Maggie and Glenn walking over to me. I was still sitting on the ground where Carl left me, I just wanted to be out here and think for a while. I wiped the fallen tears from my cheeks "Yeah, I'm fine" I lied, forcing a smile. Neither of them looked like they believed me "Did something happen?" Glenn asked, crouching down next to me. I shrugged "Carl is just being a jerk" I explained, Maggie sighed "I should've known, he came in not long ago slamming things and went right up to bed" She shook her head and continued "Maybe you should go talk to him and see what's really bothering him" I thought for a moment "I don't think he wants that, he wants me to leave him alone" I sighed softly and Glenn helped me up. "He's been through a lot lately, with Lori and all. I'm sure he just doesn't know how to deal with that." She said, I nodded "Thank you guys, I'm going to head inside and get some sleep. See you in the morning" I hugged them both quickly and headed inside. I kept my head down on the way to my cell, I caught Rick's eye and he shot me a questioning look but I just looked away and went up to my cell. Carl was sitting on my bed when I drew back the curtain, I sighed and sat next to him. Despite being angry with him for his outburst, I took his hand and intertwined our fingers. To my surprise, Carl chocked out a soft sob "I had to shoot her...I couldn't let her turn" His voice broke between his cries. Pain shot through my chest and I hugged him tight. "I didn't mean to yell at you" He whispered against my neck "It's okay Carl, everything is okay" I soothed him we cuddled all night, his soft cries the only thing breaking the silence until he fell asleep.

Rick Grimes:

I placed Judith in her crib, my hands were still shaking from what just happened. I've never seen him look like that, he was covered in blood and just screaming at me. I didn't know what to do. My daughter sat silently on my bed, I knelt by her and took her hand "I know he scared you and I'm so sorry you had to see him like that. Rick was scared, he thought that Judith could be hurt and he overreacted. I know he didn't mean to scare us." I reassured her, her lips turning up in a little smile but it fell suddenly. "I-is Rick mean like daddy?" She asked me, sounding worried and unsure. I shook my head "no honey, I would never let you be around someone like that. That's why...that's why we left daddy." I told her, trying to keep my voice strong. "Y/n, can I speak to you" Rick's raspy voice sounded from behind me, I squeezed her hand gently. "I'll be back in just a minute, lay down" I told her before turning to face Rick and walking out of the cell with him. We walked silently down the hall and to the office, "I overreacted...and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I scared you..and our girls" he said softly, his voice sound desperate for forgiveness. "I heard what you told Emma, that you left her father because he scared you the way I did" he said, his voice cracking. I shook my head softly "H-he was different, you don't scare me like that. You caught me off guard and I didn't know what was going to happen but I know you wouldn't hurt me or Emma or Judith" I explained, reaching for his hand. "Rick what happened? Why did you get so scared?" I wondered, his eyes dropped to his shoes and he bit his lip "I thought...I don't know baby. I just couldn't find her and no one knew who had her and I thought the worst. It's no excuse...I should not have yelled at you like that especially not in front of them." He said, slowly coming closer to me and placing his hands on my hips. I reached up to cup his face and pull his lips to mine "I forgive you...but you need to apologize to Emma" I told him, he nodded in understanding. And we headed back to the cell block and Rick did everything he could to make sure the girls were happy and safe, as always.

Glenn Rhee:

When I came into the house Hershel gave me a sympathetic look, "I'm so sorry about what he did. I will personally see to it that he stays away from you and your fella" I smiled at him softly, "It's okay, thank you" I said before heading up the stairs and into the room Glenn and I were staying in. I grabbed some pajamas and went to take a shower. I let the hot water sooth my muscles and wash she dirt from my skin. I finished quickly so I didn't use all the hot water and went back to our room, seeing Glenn sitting on the edge of the bed taking off his shoes. I climbed over to him and wrapped my arms around him from behind "it's just you Glenn, I promise" I said softly, kissing his shoulder blade. He nodded and turned to me "I love you" he said before pressing his lips to mine firmly, gently pushing me down on the bed and climbing on top of me. I grinned into the kiss "I love you" I whisper against his lips as my fingers ran along his back.
