Forever
"Carol, what was that the other night with sam?" I asked. I was with carol in the kitchen. She didn't answer. We heard a thump and walked over to the closet. Carol groaned and pulled someone out of the closet.
"What are you doing here Sam?" She asked, annoyed.
"I didn't tell anyone about this guns!" He smiled.
"What do you want, Sam?" She asked again.
"I was wondering if you had anymore cookies. You know, the ones from the party?" He asked. She led him to the door.
"I don't. Get out." She said.
"Well can you make me some? Or you could teach me, then I can do it myself." He said.
"Fine, you go steal the chocolate from Olivia, then I'll make you cookies but after that you never come here again." She ordered. Sam smiled and nodded, racing out of the house. She shut the door and turned around to face me.
"What the fuck was that?!" I yelled. She shook her head and got stuff out to make the cookies. I rolled my eyes and stormed out of the house and ran into Carl. I almost fell, but he held onto my arms.
"Hey, I was just about to come get you." He smirked.
"Funny, I was just about to come get you." I said, standing up straight and looking up at him. He chuckled and grabbed my hand. We began walking.
"Where're we going?" I asked, resting my head on his shoulder as we walked.
"I don't know." He said, looking at me. I put my chin on his shoulder and looked at him.
"I love you." He said.
"I love me too." I said and kissed him, walking away. I heard him chuckle.
"Melissa! Oh thank god I found someone." Maggie rushed up to me.
"What?" I asked.
"I overheard Gabriel talking to Deanna. He said that 'rick and his group are horrible people". That we are 'dangerous and we're gonna end up killing her and this town'. He said that ricks the devil or something and I don't know what to do..." Maggie rushed. I grew angry at Gabriel.
We saved his ass. If it wasn't for us, he'd be dead either by the walkers about to eat him on that rock, or he would have starved all alone in that church.
Sure, rick did do some horrible things, but it was to save all of us. We all did some horrible things that we would never even think about doing five or six years back, before this happened. But we did these things to stay alive. We would all be dead if we hadn't killed anyone, or done the things we've done.
And what has Gabriel done for us? Barely let us in his church and told us where the damn food drive was located so that he didn't have to go alone.
"Should we go talk to him?!" I asked. Maggie shook her head.
"No, no, no. We can't do that." She said. I decided not to argue and nodded.
"How's Glenn doing? With Noah..." I asked. She sighed.
"How are you doing?" She asked. I sighed.
"I grabbed him before he was pulled away. He told me 'don't let go'...and I did...I could have shot the walkers. Nicholas got out. He basically killed Aiden. Noah should have gotten out, you know? And I was forced to watch them rip him apart and I felt like I couldn't even move... And this isn't even the first time I've failed to save someone I loved. Noah was too nice to die and maybe if I hadn't froze, he'd be alive. God... This damn...epidemic...or whatever, this apocalypse we live in has made me do things I've never even thought I'd ever have to do. I killed people. Murdered them. I let people die. Noah wasn't even the first person I just...let die... You know? It's hard." I explained. I didn't notice I was crying until I saw a tear drop onto the ground. I wiped away my tears and took a breath.
Maggie embraced me in a long hug.
"Melissa? Maggie? You two okay?" I heard Carl ask. I let go of Maggie and turned around to face Carl. I wiped tears away and smiled, nodding.
"I'm fine." I smiled, looking at Carl. He walked up to me and gave me a hug. I wrapped my arms around his torso and silently cried into his shoulder. I heard Maggie walk away.
"I'm sorry. I probably look like shit right now." I chuckled, letting go of Carl and wiping the tears from my eyes.
I remembered I haven't talked to Damien or Rosalyn in a while. In fact, I haven't even seen them around lately. For all I know, they could have run off together and all of us never even noticed. I decided to just leave it.
"Mel?" Carl asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I looked at him. He held my hands and looked at me.
"I'm okay." I said.
"Everything's gonna be okay in the end. Just wait, okay?" He said. I nodded and hugged him again.
"I love you." I said. He stroked my hair.
"I love you, too." He said and kissed my head. "Forever."
