***(Lilyanne's P.O.V)***

Over the past couple of days it seems like me and Carl haven't spent that much time toghether. Everytime he's busy I'm not and everytime I'm busy he's not. And I think that Rick and Emma might have something to do with that.

At dinner Rick and Daryl said they were going on a run and asked who wanted to go with them. Me and Carl raised our hands as fast as we could. "Okay, Carl and Lilyanne can come with us." Daryl said before Rick could disagree or say no.

It was late and everyone was going to bed. I got into my bunk and said goodnight to Carl. Rick passed by and shined the light into the cell to make sure that we were asleep. He passes by at curfue and in the morning when everyone should be up. Everynight after Rick passes by I slip out of my bunk and into the other one so that we could talk for a little bit. "I think they're doing it on purpose." he said to me. "Me to. Ya know what we should do?" "What?" "We should go back to the cabin." He looked at me and smiled. "Sure." "We can get some beer at the liquor store and then leave after the run that night." He nodded and yawned. After that I went back to my bunk and fell asleep.

The next day we woke up and went to the cafeteria. Beth walked uo to me when Carl was getting our food and said "Do you hate me?" "Yes." "Why Lily?" she asked looking lost. I glared at her and said "One, my name is not Lily it is Lilyanne. And two, I hate you because your always so happy, you act like everything is fine, you chase after Daryl like a lost puppy dog and your annoying as hell!" I stood up and stormed out just as Carl was coming back.

"I didn't mean what I said, I just flipped out." I told Carl as we sat on the floor of our cell with our food in front of us. "I understand that you didn't mean to hurt her feelings. And I went and talked to everybody and said that you were having a bad day. They all understand too." I looked down. "I just pushed her to far and I feel really, really bad." Just as I said that Beth walked into ooothecell and said "I get that you blew up and said things that you don't mean. It's not your fault, if anything it's mine for taking things to heart." I stood up and gave her a hug. We let go once Rick came in and told us to get ready for the run. I grabbed my backpack and made sure it was almost empty.

We walked out to the car and I sat to siiit in the back with Daryl while cowboy sat in the front with his dad. After a couple minutes of akward silence Daryl turned to me. "You sing right?" "Yeah, but I ain't very good." "Somethings better than nothin though." "I guess." I was thinking about what song I should sing. 'I guess I'll sing Numb.'

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

I don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

Become so tired, so much more aware

By becoming this all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you"

I sang and Daryl and cowboy clapped their hands, I think I even saw Rick smile in the rear view mirror. Soon we could see the stores in the distance. We parked and Rick turned around. "Daryl and Lilyanne, you to take the pharmacy and Carl and I will take the supermarket." We all nodded and headed in.

*(AN-the song is called Numb by Linkin Park.)*
