Glenn couldn't sleep that night. He felt uneasy, like he had left something unfinished. His subconscious was telling him to confront Nicolas about what he had done. He needed to have some form of closure. He finally drifted into a restless sleep. He saw faces in his dreams; they were the dead. He was walking around him. He started recognizing walkers: Hershel, Shane, Andrea. And then finally he saw Noah. Glenn heard his name, the voice was coming from behind him; he turned around. Noah's dead because of me, the voice said. It was Nicolas. Suddenly Glenn had a gun in his hand. In a rage, pointed it at Nicolas. Do it, he taunted. Glenn looks back at Noah, who leading an entire hoard now, of everyone that Glenn had lost. Do it, Nicolas whispered. Glenn walked up to him, pointed the gun right at his head, and fired.
Glenn awoke with a start; he could feel the sweat all over his body. He really just dreamt he had killed Nicolas in cold blood. He looked over at Maggie who was sound asleep. This was probably the best sleep they've had in months. Surrounded by high walls, no immediate threats, nobody needed to be up standing watch. And now he starts getting nightmares.
He realized that he wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep after this and got out of bed quietly, trying not to wake up Maggie. He made his way down the stairs and out onto the porch. And to his surprise, he saw Rick sitting outside.
"Hey," Glenn said closing the door behind him. "You can't sleep either?"
"Nah, I don't think I know how to sleep through the night anymore."
Glenn walked to the edge of the porch and took in the night sky. One thing about being this close to the end of the world is that there was no ambient light and that made all the stars visible. That was an enormous price to pay for this view so he may as well enjoy it.
"How did it go with Deanna?" Rick said.
"It was fine. Better than I expected. I think she heard me."
"That's good. I don't think she heard me today," Rick starred at Pete's house. Glenn could tell there was more of a story there. Glenn waited until Rick was ready to say something. He finally said, "Pete is hurting Jesse. Deanna knows but she won't do anything because he's a doctor."
"That's terrible." Glenn had really hoped that this place would make life easier for them. Hearing that, made him think that life gets complicated no matter where you are. Even if you hope your high walls will keep your problems out, they just end up finding a way in. "What are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet. Honestly, I'm just trying not to kill him."
"Well, I'm trying not to kill Nicolas. I guess we both have problems." Glenn thought back to his dream where he did actually pull the trigger.
The front door creaked open, a sleepy Maggie emerged, "Glenn, are you out here?"
"Yeah, I'm right here." Glenn started walking toward her. Before he went in with her, he turned back toward Rick, "You should get some sleep too."
