LAYNE

(Sorry if it doesn't seem right, because Carl lived in Kentucky, Amy lived in Florida, and Carol... uh... Atlanta? *i think*)

Daryl introduced me to almost everyone in the group. And there were some familiar faces I was glad to see. Others... not so much.

I went to school with Carl Grimes from kindergarten to second grade, then I was moved to a different school. "Nice to see you again!"

Although I really wanted to see him again, I didn't mean for it to happen like this. In a world full of walkers.

Andrea's sister, Amy, was my babysitter for whenever dad went out to gamble, or get drunk, or whatever.

When I asked Andrea where she was, she just looked at me like she was going to beat my ass and then left.

Weird.

But the person I remembered the best was Carol.

Her daughter, Sophia was my best friend growing up. Carol pretty much just took care of us when Sophia and I wanted to go play outside, or study, or something because Ed and my dad were out doing something. And either Amy couldn't, or we just wanted to give her a break from me.

I guess I could understand that. If I had to take care of myself, I wouldn't like it too much.

The first thing I did when I saw Carol was I ran over to her and hugged her.

She was my pretty much my mom. I'd call her Mrs. Peletier, but she just told me to call her 'Carol.'

I could feel her hug back and she didn't let go until Carl realized who I was and started talking to me.


DARYL

I introduced her to everyone and maybe she knew some people, or Carol was just being a mother and taking Layne because Sophia wasn't there with her.

Carl obviously knew her, because they started talking about kid stuff like it wasn't the end of the world.

All I could think of about right now, was:

a) How hungry I was, and...

b) Sophia.


Sorry bout the short chapter. Love you guys!
