2. Never Tear Us Apart

-not your time-

Recently, Rick had figured out who had killed Karen and David; it was someone he had least expected.

Carol.

After a supply run with Carol, a rift formed between them when Carol confessed her actions, which she believed were for the good of the prison. 

Although Rick knew she did it from a good place, he was torn. It was the wrong decision, but it was made with the best of intentions. 

"Keep checking up on your sister while I go out for the day," Rick asked his son as he packed for another day trip to try to find something to help the sick. 

"Yeah, I will, just come back in one piece" Carl smiled at his father, Rick giving the boy a hug. It was hard Theo to sit back and do nothing even when she was ill. But it was harder for Carl seeing his sister so ill she could barely keep her eyes open, and having to watch his father leave most days to help Theo as well as the others. He was scared. Scared that he would be alone.

"Yeah, I promise, buddy. Just don't let your sister give up hope, and I beg you to get Daryl to her as soon as he returns." Rick wanted Theo to see Daryl because not only would that mean she had medicine coming her way, but she could finally have someone she loves see her.

"Glenn?" Theo called out as she returned to the cell block after seeing her family.

"Here," he smiled, holding his hand out for her to take. 

She sat beside him on the floor as he wrapped his arm around her to keep her close.

"I have something for you; I was meant to give it to you yesterday," Glenn said, reaching into his pocket.

He handed her a picture. He had been going around the prison since he found a Polaroid camera the other day, before getting the virus, taking photos of everyone.

Theo gladly took it. 

She looked at it and her eyes started watering straight away. 

It was a photo of her and Daryl the other day, their anniversary after Daryl returned after the run and Theo finished her lesson. Her mood lifted when she saw him.

"Thank you," Theo said, almost emotional. I needed to see his face." She held the photo close to her heart.

"In a world where things are going to be forgotten, it's best to make some sort of good memory from this place." Glenn smiled, and then it was silent for a while, with Theo unable to stop looking at the photo.

They looked so happy, both smiling even after a hard day.

It was a comfortable silence before Theo spoke up.

"Can you promise me something?" She began, clearing her throat.

"Depends", he tried to laugh.

"If you make it through this and I don't get to see Daryl, tell him I love him, " Theo said.

Hearing the words shocked Glenn, but he was so happy that she had found love in a world like today, just like he had.

"No, Theo. You are going to make it, and you have to tell him yourself," Glenn smiled, making her roll her eyes.

"We've already said it to one another, but I just need him to know that I still love him, I will always..." 

"Remember when you said you would be nothing more than friends?" Glenn reminded her

"Yeah, well, what can I say?" Theo laughed. "I'm so in love with him, Glenn, I'm scared to lose him" She began to get upset at the thought.

"You won't lose him, Theo; you two will get married and have children", Glenn smirked.
