"What the hell are you doing in our house?" Carl asked and put a gun towards the Jesus man's head. I went around him and pointed it on the other side of his head.

"I'm, uh, sitting on the steps looking at this painting, waiting for your mom and dad to get dressed." Jesus said and Carl looked at him confused. I just looked at Carl.

"Hi...I'm Jesus." He said and I knelt down next to him.

"Answer the damn question or I kick you down these stairs." I warned him and the door opened. Rick was walking towards us buttoning his pants, with no shirt.

"Carl, hey, um..." Michonne was right behind him and a door closed.

Daryl and Glenn were walking up the stairs with guns and I pushed the barrel of mine into his head. Maggie and a few of the others were there too.

"It's--It's okay." Michonne told them.

"You said we should talk. So let's talk." Rick told him and put the shirt on.


I walked downstairs and they were sitting in the kitchen like nothing happened.

"Yeah, I'm gonna--I'll be right back." I told them and walked out of the house before they could say anything.

I walked down the stairs and across the street. I knocked on the door and waited a few seconds.

"Hey." Anthony said as he opened the door and then he looked at me.

"Oh, you look great." Anthony said and I nodded my head.

"Thanks. Do you have coffee here?" I asked and he nodded his head.

"Just come in." He said and I followed him into the house. He shut the door and it looked a lot like ours.

"So why do you need my coffee?" Anthony asked.

"I think mines poisoned." I said and turned towards him.

"Why would it be?" Anthony asked.

"Okay, not literally. But, it's a long story, but not really, just can I have a cup?" I asked and he walked over to the machine.

"You haven't changed and it looks like you got no sleep." Anthony said and looked back at me.

"Yeah, that would be exact." I told him and he handed me the cup. I started drinking it and he sat across from me.

"You want to tell me?" Anthony asked.

"I saw and heard some things last night." I told him and his eyes got big.

"Oh, Lord." He said and I nodded my head.

"It's fine, but it's not at the same time. You know? I think it freaks me out because of who I knew them as before this." I told Anthony and he nodded his head.

"That would make sense, yeah. I could totally see that. Do they know you know?" Anthony asked.

"They're going to." I told him and finished the cup.

"Thank you." I said and put the cup on the counter.

"Yeah, anytime you need to not drink the "poisoned" coffee, just come here." Anthony said and I walked out of the house.

"Thank you! I probably will be back!" I told him and walked across the street.

I walked through the door and made sure nobody was coming from upstairs. I walked back into the kitchen and sat down in front of them.

"Jess, where did you go in your sweatpants and sweatshirt?" Michonne asked and I put my hands on the table.

"Okay, look, I love you both and you know that. All right, I've known you both for a long time and you've helped me through a lot." I told them and they looked at me confused.
