Jessamine Dixon lives in the apocalypse

The Storm

"Alright, give me something I can help with, Jerry." I begged him and he turned towards me.

"Dude, when was the last time you ate or even slept?" Jerry asked and ignored the question completely.

"Do you need me to help pack? Or maybe try and get something?" I asked him and he sighed.

"I need you to at least get something to eat." Jerry told me and I nodded my head.

"I'm gonna go see if anybody else needs help." I told him and walked away.

The gates of the Kingdom opened and I walked near Alden and the horse he was on. This was the last of the Kingdom. It was on this day that the Kingdom fell.

I heard the gates close and I didn't need to see it. It was the last place I saw any of them, it was behind those walls.

I should say the last time I saw any of them alive.

The horses were making noise and we would never know if it were walkers just walking in fields or them following us. But we were ready.

"Is that them?" Alden asked Lydia.

"People watching us now, huh?
Well, we followed their rules. Haven't they done enough to us?" Alden asked and I stepped forward.

"Hey." Daryl said and Alden looks back at him.

"Why don't you lay off." Daryl suggested but he was just staring at her.

"Knock it off." I told him and walked so I was next to his leg on the horse. Daryl was talking to Lydia and I took a deep breath.

"Alden, just say it. Please." I begged him already knowing what he wants to say.

"Say what?" Alden asked me angrily.

"Before Siddiq's speech I pulled you aside to tell you. You hugged me and we mourned together. But after the speech you look at me different and you treat me different.
So just say it, because I need to hear you just admit it. I need somebody to just admit it." I told him and Alden barely skipped a beat.

"You claim to love her, that she was like a sister to you. That she was family and you two went through some things together.
Then why weren't you at the Hilltop? How come you only visited when you wanted to get people to train?
It was always her having to go to you. What because you couldn't look at Maggie? Your trips to Hilltop got shorter and shorter, she just wanted to see you. Because she actually cared about you, unlike you cared about her. Every chance she got she went to the Capital because she just wanted to spend as much time with you as she could.
If you loved her enough, why weren't you always there? Same goes for Tara and Jesus." Alden told me and I nodded my head.

"Thank you, Alden, for finally saying it...
But there's one thing I want you to remember. I want you to remember the side you were on when Negan bashed Glenn's brains in.
The man that got Tara to the group even though she was on the wrong side of the fence. The man who saved Enid. Brought her back home and brought her back to humanity.
Enid would want--" I started.

"How the hell would you know what she wanted?" Alden asked and I took a deep breath.

"Because I didn't have to be glued to her side to go through the hard shit with her. But we still went through it together. Not you. Me. 
You were barely dating, she considered you her boyfriend for the first time at the fair. She was my best friend and my sister by choice.
Now if you'd let me finish that'd be great.
Enid would want this to bring us together and for us to mourn and remember her together. Not let it drive us apart.
But until I can basically forgive you and look at you without what you just said to me being the first thing that pops into my head--You won't even speak her name in my presence." I told him and walked back so I was on the other side of Lydia.
