"You should come with us." Rick told Carl as he continued to the dart board every time.

"Somebody's got to be here for Judith." Carl told us.

"There's people who want to help. We'll only by gone a few days at the most. We need supplies. They're gonna be coming back soon." Rick told him and Carl cut him off.

"Is this how it's gonna be now?" Carl asked.

"Yes." Rick told him and Carl sighed.

"It is. You know that." Rick said and Carl walked forward to get the darts again.

"See you in a few days." Carl told us.

"We should get going." Rick said and I looked at him.

"I'm gonna stay." I told him and he put his hand on my arm.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah, I should go through Glenn's stuff...like he wanted me to...And I can help Carl. I'm not sure my arm or leg would appreciate me going out there." I told him and he nodded his head.

"Okay, you got the walkie?" Rick asked and I nodded my head.

"See you in a few days." I told him and walked to my room.


"Jess, me and Michonne are going out!" I heard Carl call from downstairs and I looked around.

"Okay! Be back soon!" I called out and then there was nothing. I grabbed the knife out again and took out the boards.

I had to do this, I had pushed it to the side for to long. It was time and I just had to balls up and actually do it.

I stepped into the wall and grabbed everything out. I laid it in on the floor, I grabbed out the notes from my pockets and laid them on the floor.

Abraham's bag was the first one I emptied out. Sasha would need something of his and I needed it for the collection.

I grabbed one of his shirts and held it in my hands. I felt the tears falling down my face and I laughed at myself.

"I know you said there was no crying on this kick ass adventure, but I hope you'll excuse this one for me." I said to the shirt and squeezed it in my hands.

His tags were on the floor and I grabbed them after I set the shirt down on the ground. I held his tags in my hands and smiled at them.

"Yeah, this is it." I whispered and set them aside. I put everything else in the bag and tucked it back in the closet.

I grabbed Glenn's bag and hesitated at first. I dumped it out on the ground and started crying harder at just the sight of his things.

I grabbed a handful of his shirts and put them in my lap. I put my knees to my chest and held his stuff to my face.

There was a notebook laying on the ground and I grabbed it. It was one of mine and I rubbed my thumb over the top. It was one of my pocket notebooks. I was able to finally to flip the cover.

JESS YOU FOUND IT

THEN THAT 

ALSO MEANS

I DIDN'T MAKE

IT

I took a deep breath and brought the notebook away from my face so the tears didn't hit it. There was more on the back of the page and I read it.

Jess, your my best friend which is why I'm doing this. If anything were to happen you should have this. We've been on the run for two months and you said that you have notes written to everybody that you update frequently in case something were to happen.
I decided that I wanted to do this with you and I really hope that your the one reading this. Because your the only one this is for.
It's always a battle with us between taking each others clothes and it looks like your going to win this one.
