The day before the apocalypse began…
Glenn finished the orders he has to deliver early so he sat down at the counter in front of the cash register.
He tried to finish quickly so he could maybe talk to Maggie.
Maggie has bright, piercing green eyes and short brown hair. She's kind and funny. And her laugh- don't even get started on her laugh, it may sound cheesy but her laugh could put a smile on anybody's face.
So he just sat at the counter playing with his fingers, hoping he wasn't too late this time.
He wasn't.
"Hey stranger".
Glenn immediately looked up and smiled at the girl behind the register.
''Hi''. He could feel his heart beating out of his chest.
"You been watching Gossip Girl lately?'' Maggie says, and smirks at Glenn.
She liked to tease him about watching Gossip Girl ever since he accidentally admitted to watching it during a late-night shift they shared together.
He rolls his eyes. "It's addicting okay?" Glenn laughs.
"True. My sister and I recorded a bunch of episodes and watched them in one day".
"And besides, you have absolutely no right to talk about what I like when you eat pineapples on pizza". Glenn says matter-of-factly.
Maggie shrugs. "It's good".
"Fruit does NOT, belong on pizza."
"Tomatoes are a fruit".
Glenn bit his lip, not knowing what to say. "Well, It's an abomination!''
"So is that baseball cap of yours but you don't see me saying anything".
Glenn pretended to look shocked and offended. "Hey!''
"I'm just kidding. You look cute in a hat.'' Maggie smiles at him sweetly.
Glenn felt his face go red. He glances at his watch and sees that it's time for him to start deliveries. "Sorry but, I gotta go. Pizza's sadly don't deliver themselves."
"Okay. It was fun talking to you Glenn. See you tomorrow?'' She asks.
"Yep. You'll be here?" I reply and grab the bag of pizza's in the seat next to me.
Maggie sighs. "Yep! Working two shifts! One in the kitchen AND one at the register!" she says sarcastically.
"I'll pray for you. See you tomorrow!" Glenn yells as he heads out the door.
There was no tomorrow.
….
He always wondered what happened to Maggie.
He thought about it a lot. Especially when it started.
He didn't want a mental picture of her being torn apart by walkers in his head, so he tries to be optimistic, thinking that maybe she lived near a survivalist freak who prepared for the world's end and that she stayed with them.
Glenn ended up with a group from Atlanta. He has no idea where his family was so this was the only option.
It gets lonely at times. Mainly because everyone has someone. The guy named Rick that he saved in the tank in the city had a wife and son at the camp. Andrea had Amy. And although Amy died, at least she knew what happened to her. And got to spend time with her before it all went down.
Shane had Rick and the Grimes family. And although he wasn't related to them he knew them before.
But Glenn didn't have anywhere else to go.
So he got supplies for the group. He knew he had to make himself useful if he didn't want to be left behind.
Today, everyone is in groups to look for Carol's daughter Sophia.
They're all in different parts of the woods searching.
Then, a faint gunshot goes off.
Lori looks concerned, remembering that her son- Carl, is in another part of the woods with Rick and Shane.
Andrea puts her hand on Lori's shoulder. "I'm sure everything's fine, and no one is hurt."
Andrea was wrong.
About 30-40 minutes later a girl rides up to us on a horse.
"Lori? Lori Grimes?'' she says.
"That's me.'' Lori replies.
"Your son, Carl has been shot. You need to come with me."
Lori doesn't to hop on the horse behind the girl.
"You guys, there's a farm up north. That's where the rest of your group is. The Mailbox says Greene."
"Hold on, you don't even know this girl. You can't just go with her…" Daryl says, but neither Lori or the girl seemed to care as they rode off into the woods.
He didn't want to just assume at first, Glenn thought as he walked out of the woods and toward the highway that they were staying on.
Because literally ANYONE, could have short brown hair and green eyes.
Plus her hair was shorter than he remembered Maggie's was.
But there was no way that the last name Greene was a coincidence. He doubted himself again, thinking she would recognize him.
But then again, a child was just shot so there was no time for a "reunion".
But Glenn just KNEW. It was Maggie on that horse
He knew.
