Save Me

3. Another Community?

Molly hardly slept that night, pondering over that name. Negan, Negan, Negan. She couldn't rest until she found out who he was.

There was worry in the air ever since we heard that name.

But as far as we were concerned Negan was just a name they used to scare people and he probably didn't even exist.

But regardless, it worked and put the fear of God into all of us.

Whether or not Negan was indeed real, we had no idea how many of them there were.

They could have been just a small group of thugs or a massive community bigger than us, that could take everything we held dear.

We wanted to talk to Rick straight away but he had gone out to meet up with Daryl and get supplies so they'd be gone for a while.

When I went to see Maggie she told me that Daryl wanted something for Denise which she'd asked for to give to Tara because she was planning on telling her she loved her, which I though was really sweet.

But that's just the type of person that Daryl is.

That was why he left, I thought to myself.

There was something about seizing the moment to tell your loved ones how you felt because every single day could be your last.

So, before Tara left for her two week supply run with Heath I wanted to tell her how much I loved her and how grateful I was to have her as my sister because I definitely didn't say it enough.

Tara was upstairs packing in her house when I knocked on her door.

'Hey, can we talk for a sec?' I said nervously.

'Yeah sure what's going on?' she asked looking up at me.

'So I know that you're going away for a couple weeks and we won't see each other for a while but I just wanted to tell you that I-', Tara interrupted me before I could say anymore.

'I know. And I know we never talk about this stuff but with Lilly and Meghan gone it's just us now and we haven't been separated since...so' she said sadly.

We didn't need to say anymore, we just held each other tightly not wanting to let go.

Tara stroked my hair gently, smiled and thanked me.

I told her that I would see her very soon and that she can handle herself so I wasn't worried.

The next day...

It was about a day later when Rick and Daryl came back and it was dark out, they had brought a white truck full of new supplies and they carried a man with them.

They knocked on Tara and Denise's door and asked if they could keep him there. 'Cmon man this guy's heavy' Daryl shouted.

Because Tara and I lived next door to each other, I could hear all of the commotion outside which woke me.

Looking from my bedroom window, I saw Rick and Daryl carry in a man who was unconscious.

I jumped out of bed and ran round to Tara's, 'Hey what's going on?' I asked Denise.
