Glenn's POV

I grab the walker and throw it away from Ethan. "No no no no no! Ethan, stay with me buddy!" I panic, picking him up and trying to drag his body away from the walker. "Glenn!? What the hell happened!?" Daryl yells from behind me.

"Ethan got bit!" I yell back, "Help me get him out of here!" Daryl quickly picks him up, putting his crossbow on his back and runs out the store. "Glenn, what happened!?" Maggie yells as well. "Ethan... He got bit." Maggie's face turns pale. "Oh no."

Carl's POV

After about an hour I hear the gates open again. I look up from the farm to see a bunch people huddled around Maggie and Glenn's car. "What's going on?" I ask. A man that's running to the car says, "Someone got bit, they don't know if he will live or turn." He keeps walking fast.

Maggie and Glenn get out of the car, Daryl is holding someone.. They have short dusty brown hair. It's Ethan.

"Ethan!" I scream, dropping everything and running to Daryl. "Ethan!" I stop Daryl and try to grab Ethan but he pushes me away. "Carl! Come here-" Maggie grabs me, sinking to the floor with me. I stare at him, trying to go after him, Maggie trys to hold onto me.

"Shh, shh it's okay.. it's going to be okay." She whispers, starting to cry. Her and Ethan got close, close enough he's like a younger brother to her.

"He's my boyfriend. I-I can't lose him too." I get up and start running to the infirmary, where Ethan and Daryl are. "Where was he bit!?" Hershel looks suprised to see me. "His hand, not too serious but the walker took off a chunk of his right hand." Hershel says slowly.

"Is he okay." I raise my voice, slamming my fist on the table next to me. "He will be fine if we amputate successfully and make sure he doesn't lose too much blood." He says sternly. I nod, taking off my hat and running my hand through my hair.

I can't even look at Ethan. He's passed out and pale. Hershel made me leave the room for a while to fix up Ethan's hand. Maggie has been inside my cell with me, trying to keep me calm.

My dad walks into my cell, "Carl." He says, standing awkwardly. "We need to talk." He says. "I'll.. be outside." Maggie lets go of my hands and walks out of the cell as Rick walks in. "What is it." I say, not being able to look him in the eyes. "I know.. your friend means a lot to you, but you didn't need to blow up in Hershel's face like that. Son, you know he was trying to do the best he cou-"

"Dad, you don't understand. Y-You wouldn't-you couldn't!" I say, pulling my hair out of stress. "Okay, don't talk to me. But please talk to someone. And.. Ethan is ready for you to visit." He says and walks out.
