"I need to know how it happened. Tell me." I told Glenn. He grabbed my hands and knelt down in front of me.

I was sitting at the gazebo since it happened. My face was tear stained and they were still falling.

"I need to know exactly what happened. Glenn, please." I begged him and he put his head against our hands.

"Glenn, please, I am begging you." I told him and he looked up at me.

"We were there, we did a perimeter check. The front wasn't gonna work because there were walkers in front of it. We went in, there were shelves, everything was fine. Except the walkers being held back by a fence.
A walker was coming at Aiden in armor, he shot and he shot, trying to get under the mask. I tried to tell him to stop but he hit the grenade. Everybody went everywhere. Me and Noah were fine, Nicholas was fine, Aiden was impaled, Eugene was away from Tara who was knocked unconscious.
Eugene was shaking when a walker was coming towards her then a walker came from his back. Me and Noah were able to get the walkers. We brought Tara into a room with Nicholas. We were trying to figure out what to do.
Aiden started screaming, we had thought he was dead. Eugene was going to stay with Tara while the rest of us went to grab him. Nicholas ended up running away. Aiden told me that the group they lost before never panicked but him and Nicholas were the reasons they died.
Noah pulled me away when the walkers were getting to close. Me and Noah were where Nicholas was. There were walkers on the other side of the exit and there were walkers coming from us at all directions.
Nicholas ran into one side of the spinning doors while me and Noah were on the other side. We didn't know what to do. That was when Eugene showed up blasting music and taking away the ones on the outside.
I tried to tell them the plan. Nicholas was against it and pushed his way out. The doors slipped and the walkers took Noah right from me. He told me not to let him go. But they took him. They just took him." Glenn told me.

The tears were coming down both of our faces and I stood up on my feet. Glenn looked up at me confused and I pulled him into a hug.

"We were at the mall. We found this guy. He brought us to his group. I knew two of them from my swim team. They later told me that another one of our team mates were there. Katherine. 
The night went normal. I talked with one of them, got slightly caught up. Did the interviews. Went to sleep. There were no reasons for us to be afraid of being there.
But then the next morning came and it started fine. We were doing sweep through the mall. Me and Enid still weren't panicking. But when I was putting my first bag in the van Enid started to yell my name.
When I got there it was like in Atlanta. With walkers on one side of the door. I don't know how or why they were there. Me and Enid weren't loud and we hadn't seen them while we were driving.
I told everybody to hurry and sweep, because they convinced me that we were going to be fine, that the doors would be fine.
Barely anytime later we heard Alex yelling at the guy who was keeping guard on the door. By the time me and Enid were able to get back to the first floor. It had already been done.
The two girls were running towards us and I kept yelling at them to go faster. Star was the first one to go down. She knew she was going to and she threw Amelia her bag. I couldn't stop screaming and I could feel myself crying.
Amelia threw the bags at me and I picked them up. I reached my hand out towards her and her fingers brushed against mine. But the walkers pulled her back and I started screaming more and more.
They had to drag me back into the storage unit. But the whole time they were screaming my name. While they were running towards me and then while they were being ripped apart.
All because I didn't just drag them out." 

I told Glenn and he squeezed me tighter. It was the story he had wanted to know since I got back. It was the most I hadn't really talked to anybody. It was the first time I even repeated the whole story.


I walked over to one of the houses. Glenn was sitting against a post and Rick was sitting in front of him. I knew that he was repeating it again.
