Bobbie's Point of View:

I finally reached Aiden as the others call out to me. I grabbed Aiden's shoulders and he looks down at me.

"B-Bobbie. What happened to you? A-Are you-" I shook my head and ignored him as I tried to figure a way how to get him down from the wall of death.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna get you out of here." Glenn assures Aiden. "I need you to stay quiet, can you do that?"

"Y-Yeah. Yeah." Aiden nods.

"Okay." Glenn breathes. He grabs Aiden's pack back straps and he tries pulling Aiden off, but Aiden begins screaming in pain. I quickly shot my hands up and covered my ears.

"The flare. It's burning out." Noah warns. I turn back and see the red flare out between two shelves quickly dying out. I see Noah fighting off any walkers that headed our way.

"Come on, come on, again." Glenn says.

"We're not gonna make this." Nicholas shakes his head as he stares at Glenn and I.

"Hey, yes, we are." Glenn argues. "But I need your help. Bobbie, you try to keep him quiet."

"Nick-Nick, don't leave me, please." Aiden begs.

"Okay. Okay. Okay." Nicholas nods. Glenn and Nicholas try pulling Aiden off, but he continues to scream in pain and he doesn't seem to be budging an inch, the more Aiden screams, the more he draws walkers over to us. I felt my hand tightening and I see Aiden holding tight of it.

"You left them. We both did. That's who we are. I'm sorry." Nicholas begins backing away. Glenn and I turn back and we try calling Nicholas back, even Glenn reaching out to him.

"They're coming!" Noah screams.

"Okay, it was us! It was us! The others before. They didn't panic. We did. It was us." Aiden cries.

"No." Glenn shakes his head at Aiden.

"They're here!" Noah yells and yanks Glenn back.

"Bobbie." Aiden cries.

"Bobbie! We gotta go!" Glenn yells. I locked my eyes with Aiden before quickly leaning in and pressing my lips on his. The snarls grew louder and louder and I found my feet lifting off the ground and my body pulling away from Aiden. I watched my hand slipping out of Aiden's bloody hand. I watched as the walkers finally reach Aiden and they begin tearing him open. I listened to his screams echo through the warehouse and it stuck in my head, hearing it repeat over and over in my head.

The darkness suddenly grows bright and I noticed we were all in the lobby of the warehouse. I finally realized Nicholas was the one that pulled me away from Aiden. He finally sets me down and we all look around. Glenn and Noah tries for the doors, but they were locked. Then we realized a herd of walkers block our way in. Nicholas picks me up and we all run for the spinning door, only to see a herd of walkers blocking our way out. We all turn our heads, trying to look for a way out and to safety.
