End of the Road/ A Walking Dead Fanfic

Rick disappeared into the tunnels and hasn't came back yet. Daryl and Maggie went to find some formula and other stuff for the baby. She was hungry so the crying never stopped. Glen came inside and over to me.

"I'm going to look for Rick. You should come. Try to talk to him." He told me. I nodded softly. I handed the baby to Beth and got up grabbing my gun before following Glen into the tunnels.

It took us a minute to find Rick. Once we did, I sighed seeing the state he was in. He was covered in blood with a trail of walker bodies in his path.

"Rick. Everyone's worried about you." Glen said moving into his line of vision. He slowly grabbed his arm that was holding the axe. Rick reacted by roughly pressing Glen to the wall.

"Rick!" Glen just looked at him and nodded.

"It's me." He tried to reassure. I couldn't tell what was going on his head. He pushed Glen away and walked off.

"I'm gonna go talk to him. You head back." I told Glen.

"You think that's a good idea?"

"Just trust me." I said before going after him.

I found him in the room where it all happened. He was hunched over a dead walker. I noticed that Lori's body was gone so i assumed it must've ate her.

"Rick." I sighed. He stood up to face me. He moved close and pushed me against the wall.

"You did this! You did this to her!"

"I had too! To save your baby I had to." He moved away and shook his head sitting down.

"Rick. You're hurting. So am I. So is the rest of the group. But just imagine how your son feels. Carl lost his mother today. But he still has his father. Carl, this baby, this group needs you." He broke down crying. I moved so I was next to him. I sighed and hugged him tightly. He sobbed into my shirt. I rubbed his back as he let it all out.

Once he was calm, he sat up and wiped his face. I looked at him and sighed.

"I just want to be alone for a bit." He spoke. I nodded softly getting up.

"Alright. I'm here for you." He nodded softly. I sighed leaving and heading back to the cell block. Daryl and Maggie had just gotten back with the formula for the baby. I smiled to myself seeing Daryl holding and feeding her much to my surprise.

"I got some books and toys for the twins." Maggie said. I nodded.

"Thank you."

"How's Rick." I heard Hershel asked. I walked over to him and sighed.

"He's grieving." I told them. They all nodded. I walked out the cell and over to the twins giving them the toys Maggie got.

"You two to say thank you to Maggie." They went over to thank her. I went to find Jimmy. When I looked around for him, I frowned seeing that he was no where to be found.

"He's in the watch tower." Charlie said. I nodded making my way out. I got inside and saw him looking out from the tower. His head was hung low, obviously something was bothering him.

"Hey. You alright?" I asked. He wiped his face and turned around to face me, nodding softly.

"Yeah I'm okay. How you doin?" He asked walking up to me. I let out a shaky breath. He seemed to be hurting just as much as me.

"I'm trying to keep it together for everyone. For Rick and Carl." He nodded holding me. I broke down.

"I couldn't saved her." I sobbed. He rubbed my head and tried to get me to calm down.
