My Dads name is Rick.

Darkness

Rick's P.O.V

She... S-She stopped breathing. Lori, Carl, Glenn and I are in hysterics, even T-Dog's sobbing. Hershel's doing CPR on her.

"ARI BABY PLEASE! Don't go to the light. Please baby, you can't die. Please," Lori pleads.

"Daddy move! I'll try," Maggie yells.

Glenn's P.O.V

My best friend is dieing right in front of me. Maggie and Hershel are giving her CPR. I'm crying my eyes out. Lori, Carl and Rick are aswell. Even T-Dog's sobbing. This cannot be happening.

Please Ari don't leave us.

"ELSIE. Elsie nooo. I love you," Carl cries.

Arielle's P.O.V

I keep running towards the damn light but every step I take it gets further away. What kind of sick joke is this.

Why can I hear mom crying for me...

"ELSIE. Elsie nooo. Please don't leave me. I love you!"

Wait, now I can hear Carl too. Why can't I se-

Oh great now I'm in complete darkness AGAIN.

Rick's P.O.V

I can't even see anymore. My visions blurred with tears.

"SHE'S BREATHING!" Maggie exclaims.

"Wha-at?!" I ask, shocked.

"She made it! She's breathing again," Maggie explains. Lori jumps up and hugs her tightly.

"Thank you so so so so much! I'm internally greatful to all of you! Thank you!" she repeats as she hugs Hershel and Patricia. I do the same and hug them.

"Thank you. Thank you," I look Maggie in the eyes. She has tears in her eyes and nods with a smile.

"Now we need to make a choice," Hershel says.

"A choice?" Glenn questions, still trying to recover from crying.

"We do it. We have to," Lori says.

Just then, the truck pulls up and Shane gets out. Without Otis...

We wait while Hershel does the surgery.

Glenn's P.O.V

My Ari pulled through. I'm beyond happy. I'm still crying but it's tears of joy.

Now we're just waiting for Hershel to finish the surgery.

"Are you her boyfriend?" Maggie asks.

"What? Uh no... uh we-we're just friends. Ah, best friends. She's 18, I'm almost 20. I met her whe-n she was 4. Just yesterday I... ah was uhm... officialy made a Grimes by Rick," I say chuckling, Maggie giggles, "so we're family. I love her. I love them," I add.

She smiles at me then nods.

"Mom Ari is a hero. That would be me on that bed if she wasn't so fast. It's my fault," Carl says.

"Hey buddy," I say, he turns and looks at me, tears in his eyes, "there's no way in heck it's your fault. It was just a silly accident. Honestly, I know Ari and she would rather it be her in that position if it means you're safe. That's how your sister is. Don't blame yourself alright man," Lori and Rick smile at me and Lori mouths 'thank you'.

"No that's wrong," Carl says, as he looks me in the eye.

"Carl he-" Lori starts.

"Our sister Glenn, that's how our sister is," he replies and comes to hug me.

Jeez, I love this kid. He is a little boy version of Ari.

Hershel walks into the living room.

"She's stabilised. Your daughter's going to live," Hershel announces.
