Another Chance

They had lost so many people, there weren't many of them left, he didn't know how it happened, why it happened, or how it was even possible to happen, but he found himself back to when he and Beth had been in the house. That was weeks ago. He didn't know how it was possible, maybe he was dreaming. He didn't know, and he didn't care. He had a second shot with her, and he wasn't going to blow this one. He looked around for somewhere to hold up until she came running out of the house. That's when he saw the car. Things started to make sense then. No one had kidnapped Beth…he'd taken her. He waited, in the car until sundown. He saw the walkers advance on the house. He was nervous, tapping his foot as he waited. He watched her run out of the woods and to the road. She stared looking through her bag. He pulled out of the cover and backed up.

"Beth, we gotta go." He grabbed her and pulled her to the car; she dropped her bag and spilled it all over the road. He didn't explain anything as he threw her in the car and sped off. There would be time to tell her later, for now he just had to get him out of there. He saw himself running after the car as he sped off. He'd understand eventually.
