Wow. you thought I need to tell Maggie this tomorrow

     You walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, then headed to your room. You took of the clothes you had on, and put on a super baggy t shirt you found at Ron's the other day. You crawled into bed and fell asleep. 

When you woke up, it was still dark outside. You walked downstairs and saw Daryl sitting on the couch, drinking apple juice, and watching a movie on the dvd player Carol found

"Why are you here?" you questioned sitting next to him

"I ain't sure kid. I was here late talkin to Carol, and I fell asleep on the couch and so here I am. What're you doin up?" he asked

"I don't know" you sighed, taking his glass out of his hand and taking a drink out of it, then spitting it out into some random jar on the end table. Daryl chuckled at your reaction

"What the hell is that?!" you whisper yelled

"Whiskey" he chuckled, taking it back

"I thought it was apple juice!" you said "You're an ass" you said smacking his arm

"Hey!" he said "As I recall, you're the one who took it from me" he chuckled

"Whatever" you giggled walking into the kitchen to start breakfast. 

     It was 6:30, and Carol usually wakes up around seven, so you figured this was the perfect time to make Carol breakfast. All you could find was some pancake mix, so you started cooking them, and about fourty-five minutes later, Carol came downstairs dressed and ready to go

"What's this?" she asked as you set the table

"I made you breakfast, sit down" you said

"Aw, y/n, you didn't have to do this" she said

"I know, but it's the least I could do after what you've done for me" you said

     After breakfast, you got dressed and walked outside to find Ron. When you found him, you guys walked around Alexandria for hours talking about nothing, when you both heard a loud crash and saw Rick running, with hundreds of walkers behind him. You spotted Carl and ran towards him, not letting go of Ron's hand. When you finally caught up to him, you remembered the events that took place last night in the living room.

"What happened?" you asked Carl as you were both killing your way through walkers

"The tower fell" he said.

     You were completely shocked, and you all began to get surrounded. Then suddenly you saw Jessie yelling for you guys, so you all ran in her house. Dianna was injured, so Rick took her upstairs. You, Carl, and Ron stayed down stairs and  barricaded the doors. You sat on the couch that was barricading the front door, and just caught your breath. Ron and Carl walked into the garage

     All of a sudden, you heard glass breaking from the garage, and ran to the door to be met with Rick, Michonne, and Jessie

"Step back!" Rick yelled, pulling out his ax and swinging at the deadbolt on the door until it was broken. When the door was opened he pulled Carl and Ron out and barricaded the door with a couch. You all pushed against it

"We need more" Rick said so Michonne went to get it. The Ron walked off and Carl went after him 

"Hey" Rick said to Carl "It's okay?" he asked 

"It's okay" said Carl

     Soon enough, all the doors were covered, and everyone was safe. Except Dianna. She was bit. You didn't know Dianna that well, but it still hurt your heart knowing she'd be dead soon enough. Judith started crying, so Rick went to get her, while you and Ron sat in the corner of the room holding hands

"You okay?" you asked

"Yeah, I guess" he scoffed. 

     You just laid your head on his shoulder and played with his fingers, earning a jealous glare from Carl, and all of a sudden the barricades broke loose, so you were all trying to hold them together. You all had to go upstairs and Carl had to stay on watch, so you stayed with him. Rick handed you and Carl a bedsheet and smeared walker guts all over you. This wasn't the first time you've had to do something like this. Yes, it stunk, and made you want to puke, but it's what you had to do to survive. Rick put Judith under Carl's sheet, and you all held hands, as you made your way outside. You were between Carl and Ron, holding both their hands

     Rick stopped you guys, and discussed a new plan. Gabriel ended up taking Judith back to the church, and Sam was supposed to go with him too, but Sam refused. So you kept walking. Carl took Ron's hand, so you took the other. You walked and walked. 

     All of a sudden, Sam stopped.

"Sam, we have to keep going" everyone started saying. Then, two walkers grabbed his face and started attacking him, Jessie screamed, drawing attention to herself, and walkers attacked her. You looked at Ron to see him tearing up, then back at Jessie to see her holding on to Carl's hand. Rick took out his ax and chopped it off. Next thing you know, you hear the click of a gun. You looked over to see Ron pointing it at Rick

"Ron" you said, he just ignored you 

"You" he whispered to Rick

"Put it down" you said 

"You" he said again, seconds later, Michonne's katana went right through his heart. Your world shattered. All you could do was stand there, your jaw dropped as you heard the gunfire. You stood there, watching as he fell on the ground. You wanted to cry, but you couldn't. 

"Dad" Carl whispered before falling onto the ground. 

     You saw his face. His eye. It was gone. Rick picked him up and began running to the infirmary. You and Michonne were ahead by a few feet, killing your way through walkers. Once you got there, everything was a blur, you couldn't see, you couldn't hear, all you could do was hold Carl's hand as you watched Denise desperately try to save his life 

What has this world become?
