      Chrissy and I both walk inside the room and I see dad and pop both in the corner of the room and I spat "so your gonna betray rick?". I approach maggie on the desk and she says "you know he was in the wrong dolly and if I have to betray rick just to get to kill negan then so be it". I scoff and I lean on her desk so our face was inches from each other and I say "Shane the governor and the termites and dawn from Grady there's one thing that they all have in common maggie they're dead because rick put them there and your gonna turn your back on the man who's been feeding you since day one? sorry maggie but without Rick, you wouldn't have made it off the damn farm". I stand up and start to walk away and I turn to daryl and I say "your not my father anymore my dad would have rick's back no matter what but if you do anything to him father or not I got a bolt with your name on it Daryl I have spent the last six years without you I think I can survive without you".

I walk out of the room and I turn to Chrissy "you coming to Chrissy?" she glares at pop and she says "you've picked your side now we're picking ours". I grab her hand and once we made it out of the Barrington house they follow behind us and all three of them are standing on the porch and I say to tara "they're gonna try and overthrow rick it's time to pick a side". Her eyes widened in surprise and she asks "what side are you on?" I turn to Chrissy and she says "we're going to Alexandria". She turns back to maggie, paul, and daryl and she turns to me "wherever you go I go".

A smile crosses my face and she kisses me on the lips and she grabs my hand and I turn to Chrissy "meet back here in ten minutes and we are leaving". She nodded and I turn around when I hear a voice say "we can take my car" Chrissy turns around and she asks "your coming with us Jensen?". He sends her a smile and a nodd and he says "yeah laura and DJ and Alden are all down there and Dwight already left to find sherry". She turns to me and I send her a soft smile and she says "okay well pack your things this is the last time we will be here".

Once I got all my clothes packed up and when I walk out of the trailer and see Tara, Jensen, and Chrissy waiting by the charger. A smile crosses my face and I put my bag in the trunk and I stand right by my door and I cast my dad one last look and I say to him one last time "if your gonna rage a war against us let's just say it will be the last thing ya'll ever do". I send him a look which said 'you've made your bed now ye have to lie in it' I get in the backseat with tara and she wraps her arm around my shoulders. I lay my head onto her shoulder and then we approach the gate I find myself wanting to turn around she kisses me on the forehead and she says softly "don't look back dahlia".

Once we made it to Alexandria and we get out of our car I see carl, rick,michonne and laura, and DJ and everyone here approaching us even Eugene. They had gotten the walls back up at Alexandria and started rebuilding the houses. I send everyone a smile and I walk over to rick and he smiles at me and I hug his neck he wraps his arms around me and I break away "you got room for four more people?". He chuckles and nodded at me and I turn to tara "why don't you go pick a house for us?".

She smiles at me and kisses me on the lips and I turn to rick again "can we talk?". He nodded at me and he says "come on let's take a walk" he turns to michonne and he says "I'll be right back babe". She smiles at him and we start to walk as I look at everything here and couldn't help but smile knowing that rick is rebuilding everything. I take a deep breath and he says "what's on your mind dahlia? I can tell something is bothering you".

I smile at him and I say "you can read me like a book officer friendly". He chuckles and he tosses his arm over my shoulder and he says "that's a flashback". I giggle and shake my head and I say when we come to a stop "Maggie, Jesus and Daryl are planning to overthrow you". He sighs and looks down at his boot covered feet and he says "yeah I know I had a feeling but that still doesn't answer why your down here? are you here to warn me?".
