"Rise and...oh. Your already up." Glenn said shockingly.
"I couldn't sleep at all Glenn. I was scared the whole night." I said in a quite voice.
"Scared of what exactly?"
"All of these new people."
"John, these people are the most trust worthy people I know. If it we're for thinking I wouldn't have made it this far."
"Well, since you trust them I guess I can trust them."
Glenn then took me to get breakfast. This was the first time I have eaten in almost 2 days. Glenn seem to be deeply sorry about forgetting to get me food yesterday, but I could him it is alright. I am used to going days without food, so it was alright. Glenn handed a me a bowl of oatmeal and took me to where Maggie was sitting on the house's porch. I sat in between Glenn and Maggie having them sandwich me.
"So, John how so you like it here so far." Maggie asked.
"It's been good so far. This is by far the best I have had in weeks." I said with a smile.
"And you don't have to call me John, most people used to call me Johnny."
"Well, alrighty then Johnny." Maggie said with a smirk.
"Johnny, if you don't mind can I talk to Glenn alone."
"Umm...ok." I placed my finished bowl on the porch and walked towards where the tents we're. As soon as I was about to get in the tent someone said something. I turn around and see a boy with a cowboy hat on. The boy was pale with brown hair and seemed a couple years older than me.
"Hey, what's your name?" The boy asked.
I froze. Hesitated. It had been so long since a kid my age asked my name. I started to realize how out of touch with the world I had been.
"John, but people call me Johnny."
"My name is Carl, Lori is my mom and Rick is my dad." He said pointing in the direction of his parents.
"You the first kid I've talked to since...Sophia went missing."
Sophia. I kid went missing. This was starting to freak me out. What if I went missing next.
"You'll really like Sophia; we're going to find her."
I didn't say anything and let Carl do the talking. He was talking about how he had been shot and how cool Sophia will think he is. Carl seemed nice and all, but it's the fact I'm I've been out of touch with the world. I never seemed to have a decent conversation anymore with anyone, with certain exceptions with Glenn and Maggie. Speaking of Glenn and Maggie. I look in their direction and see a disappointed Glenn face with a wet hat with who knows what. I couldn't help but giggle at the sight. It seemed there was a bump in the road with Maggie. What could Glenn possibly done to make Maggie mad? Glenn is the nicest, funniest person I know here, saying as I only know a couple people. Carl then walks up to me and tells me he has to do schoolwork. This left me alone; like always. Glenn walks to the RV and throws his hat to the ground.
"What happened Glenn?" I innocently ask.
He sighs."Something I did." He tells.
I quickly notice that this conversation was going no where. He then climbs up the RV. I follow behind.
"Glenn? Why am I always alone?"
"What do you mean? You got me."
"What I mean is why does everyone leave me. My Mom and Dad left. My Uncle left. My Aunt left. Then my brother and sister left."
Glenn seemed faced with a difficult question.
"It's not you if that's what your thinking. What is there not to like about you? You are a kind kid."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
A hour or so of just me and Glenn sitting went by when something seemed to have happened. The bald guy, Shane came walking to the RV with a meaning.
"You two seen where he went?
"Who?" Glenn questioned.
"Don't even try to shit me, okay." My skin crawled for I hadn't heard language like that since my parents left.
"What?" Glenn said confusingly.
"Dale, Glenn. Did you see where Dale went."
"Yeah, he asked me to get him some water. He said he'd cover me on watch." Glenn replied now understanding the situation.
I just sat there surveying the scene without a clue what was going on.
"What about you kid." Shane then asked me.
"No." I said
Saying back to Glenn,"He was gone when you got back, huh?"
"Is Dale okay?" I asked trying to get more involved and trying to act as if I cared.
"Oh he's fine."
"Then why he leave then?" I continued.
Shane then turned back around staring deep into my soul. "So you wouldn't tell me which way he went?"
"What do you mean? I asked.
"I don't get get it." Glenn said flatly.
"Nah man, you don't." He then stormed off assuming he went looking for Dale.
"What was the about?" I said as I looked at Glenn.
"I don't know." Glenn said slowly.
Then something caught Glenn's eye. It was Maggie.
"I'll be right back." He said as lowering himself down the ladder.
From where I sat I couldn't hear everything, but I could see Maggie was mad at Glenn for something. Then eventually things turned out alright as Maggie and Glenn engaged into kissing. I was happy for Glenn. Someone cared for him in this messed up world.
Shane out of no where starts speed walking from the tree line. Something was up. Shane had people gathered around him and was discussing something. I decided to stay back and mind own business. Then Rick and Herschel came out of the tree line with walkers. This had Shane ticked-off. Shane ran over than and started rambling about something. When I least expected I heard gun shots. This caught my attention even more. I got of the ladder and started to walk towards there. That's when things got bad. Shane had unleashed a whole barn of walkers.
"Glenn? What's happening?"
"Just stay back, John."
I looked over to my right and could see Herschel on the ground looking in disbelief with a sobbing Maggie at his side. A barrage of gun fire went of when the doors opened. I didn't realize I had been walking more and more towards the walkers till a walker had grabbed hold of me. I panicked. I was completely overpowered by the walker. The walker had taken me to the ground whilst I held the walkers neck from my face.
"John." Someone called out. I didn't know who because I was more focused on keeping this walker off me. The force of the walker weakened allowing me to push it off me. That was when I knew someone shot it in the head. It was Glenn. He had my back. Maggie then pulled me back and held me till the barrage of gun fire was over. I was not only covered in blood by also Maggie's tears. I started to cry not only because Maggie started to cry, but how I had allowed myself to get attacked like that. I had never been put in that situation before. Usually when I see a walker I have a chance to run, but at that moment I didn't. After a few quite seconds a growl could be heard. It was a girl. Carol started to cry Sophia. All I could do is look. I started to cry even more onto Maggie. Then there was the shot and the collapse of the limp body.
