Chapter 15

We all froze before it registered in our brains.

Abraham lunged at Eugene and punched him right in the face.

-

I got out of the truck, looking around at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Beth is here!

I smiled, walking behind everyone as we made our way to the doors of Grady.

I slowed to a stop, Rick walking out and shaking his head.

I watched as Maggie dropped to her knees and began screaming.

Tears threatened to fall when Daryl walked out with Beth in his arms- dead.

-

I walked up to Rick, wrapping my arms around his torso.

"What happened to your eye?" He asked.

I pressed the bruise beside my eyebrow, realizing it was from the wreck.

"We wrecked." I mumbled, pulling away.

"What?" He asked.

"I'll explain later." I replied.

"We're going to Virginia to Noah's place. It's what Beth wanted." He replied.

"I'm going with you." I replied.

He nodded.

"Carl still mad at you?" He asked.

"No. He knocked me down with a hug when we came back to the church." I answered.

"We need to talk later." He mumbled before walking off.

-

I got in the car with Carol, Tara, and Rosita, while everyone else was split up in different cars.

"You there?" Rick asked, his voice ringing through the walkie-talkie.

"Four-ten." I answered, holding down the button on the side.

"It's ten-four." Tara coughed.

"Ten-four." I corrected, holding down the button.

I smiled, Rick laughing before I heard the click.

"You remind me of a sophomore in high school trying to flirt." Tara joked.

"I'm not flirting, I'm just stupid." I replied.

"We all know you and Rick like each other." She replied from the back.

"Oh shit." I hissed, noticing my thumb was holding the button down.

"Heard that." Rick stated, making blood rush to my cheeks.

"Just give me that thing." Tara ordered, holding her hand out.

-

"It's gone." Rick declared, his voice ringing through the walkie-talkie.

I sighed, leaning against the car.

"What now? We're out of gas." Carol replied.

"Just stay there. We'll come to you." Rick replied.

I ate a few cashews before handing the rest to Carl.

"So what's gonna happen now? We starve and die?" Carl asked.

"Stay positive." I replied.

"How can I? We keep losing people, we lost our home, so what now?" He asked.
