The next morning I was woken up by Rick shaking up. "Hey Yas, we gotta get up it's time to bury Sophia, and Hershel's wife and son" He says kissing me on the head once I wake up before getting up and putting his clothes from yesterday back on.
"Look at me, Rick you know that Sophia dyeing is not your fault right? you did what you could... I can tell by the way your looking you think it's your fault but it's not... Based on what Lori tells me when Sophia ran you were the only one to run after her Rick you did something, you tried you can't save everybody but the important thing is you tried" I say griping his face so he knows i'm being sincere.
"I know that but what if that happened to Carl I couldn't even Protect a child that wasn't mines so how could I protect him" He whispers letting a few tears slip.
"Rick don't you ever let me hear you say that again... Carl is strong and he's just like you... He will survive this world and you wanna know why? Because he has me, Daryl even though he acts like he doesn't care he does, Glenn, Maggie, Beth, Dale, and so many others but most importantly he has YOU Rick. any one of us would die before we watch him die. That little boy will be just fine and Lori's baby too, But you have to believe that first because if you don't have hope than he won't... Is that what you want?" I say/ ask
"No" He says shaking his head.
"Exactly, don't start giving up now, those people need you, that baby Lori's carrying needs you, Carl needs you Rick I need you... I need you to be strong because I can't be strong unless you are... Yeah i'm physically ready for anything but mentally i'm a mess... I know it's a lot to ask but I need you to be strong for us please" I whisper letting out everything I've been holding in.
That's all I needed to say to get Rick back to see that glint of hope in his eyes that I haven't seen since we found out Carl was going to live.
"I love you"He says looking me dead in my eyes.
"Rick" I trail off looking down. It's not that I don't wanna say it back but every time I tell somebody I love them they either die or leave me .
"I get it" He says walking out of the room not sparing me another glance. Signing I do my business and get dressed in this
(instead of heels picture her normal shoes and no bag)
before rushing out the house and over to where the Graves were. Looking a round I don't see Carol anywhere. "Where's Carol I ask no where in particular coming to a stop next to where Rick stood.
"Daryl wen't to get her" Glenn says when Rick doesn't answer.
Nodding I grab Rick's hand which he doesn't pull away but he doesn't hold mines back either.
"Rick can... can we talk later, look I.... know your mad at me but I just wanna explain why I didn't say it back, please" I whisper only getting a slight Nod in return before going to talk to Hershel but this didn't go unnoticed by Lori who walks up to be and put a hand on my shoulder and giving me a look that says we will talk later getting a nod from me.
Daryl comes back after and tells us that Carol aid she's not coming like I understand that you'r grieving but why not come to your daughters funeral and say your final goodbye. So we do Sohpia's funeral a well as Hershel's wife and stepson which were beautiful well as beautiful a it can get in the Zombie apocalypse....
