Jessamine Dixon lives in the apocalypse

The Key

I looked at the gates off Hilltop and I took a deep breath this was it, this was everything. They were all here.

This is what we needed. We were on foot and I could hear something being done behind the walls.

I heard Kal yell at everybody that it was us. Then the gates slowly started to open. Before I could look at anybody I was engulfed in arms.

I could feel by the touch that it was Enid. She knew and she started crying again. I held her head close to me and a tear slipped.

I looked up and Michonne was hugging Maggie. Rick was just standing there and Enid slowly let go of me.

I looked at her and nodded my head. She nodded her head and I brought my forehead to hers.

"Remember what I told you about us being the ones that get to live because we went through it?" I asked and she nodded her head against mine.

"This is one of the things that keeps us going." I told her and she nodded her head again. She stepped back and Anthony was walking around the corner.

I tried to give him the best smile I could but he didn't even try to smile. His was just there. He ran at me and pulled me into his arms.

"We can talk later. Go talk to them right now." Anthony told me and put me back on the ground. I nodded my head and walked up next to Michonne.

Most of them were looking at us and one of the Alexandrian's started walking towards us with Judith. But I got caught up in the Saviors behind a fence.

I squinted my eyes and then started walking towards it. I didn't know what the others thought but I stopped by the door.

"You know why your all here, right?" I asked and they all looked at me.

"You here because I'm not gonna kill you, that is, until the Saviors try to show up, or I just get really bored." I told them and walked away.

Jerry was walking towards me and he held his arms open. I gave a soft smile and walked into them.

"I'm sorry, I heard about the Kingdom." I told him.

"Yeah, I'm sorry to hear what happened to you, dude, everything that happened to you since the start." Jerry said and let me go.

"Yeah, but we're here now." I told Jerry and he nodded his head.

"I should also tell you that I took a bullet to the chest but you giving me the chest protection saved my life, you saved my life. Because it's just a bruise now." I told him and Jerry smiled.

"That's what I'm here for, dude. I'm glad, that means I still get to see you around." Jerry told me and I nodded my head at him.

.."Also know a woman here who makes really good apple pie." I told Jerry and his eyes lit up.

"Really?" He asked and I nodded my head.

"Oh, that is so cool." Jerry said and I let out a small laugh.

I walked around the corner of the trailer and Daryl was standing by the graves.

"Sorry, I'll go." He told me.

"No. Stay." I told him and he looked at me confused. I saw the rose in his hand and I pointed at it.

"I saw it on the way. Figured you were mad at me but something that reminds me of you can't be mad at me." Daryl said and I nodded my head.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." I told him and he looked at me more confused. I slowly started walking towards him.

I was standing in front of him and he was waiting for something and I knew what he was waiting for. Before I could even pick up my arms Daryl had already pulled me into a hug.
