It was like my whole heart was completely gone.
It's only been just a few days and we still weren't to hilltop. I carried a backpack full of the stuff that I needed, including all of Carl's shirts.
They were neatly folded in the bottom of the backpack that was currently snug against my back.
We were staying at hilltop until alexandria was re-built. Rick needed to make sure I got to hilltop and that Judith was alright before anyone could start.
It was going to take several years to fix the mess that Negan made.
"Here." Rick mumbled, handing me a bottle of water. I took it and lifted it up against my dry lips. I shut my eyes and downed at least half of the bottle.
We haven't ate in a few days. I felt terrible with both loosing Carl and the starvation. We were all getting weaker by the second.
Both Michonne and Rick were determined to keep me alive no matter the cost.
"Here, take some." I held it out.
They both shook there heads, refusing.
"You drink the rest, were almost there." Michonne nodded as Rick began to push the water back towards me.
"Carl wouldn't want you to kill yourselves. He loved you guys too, you know?" I looked at them both with a harsh tone.
Ricks mouth parted open before he let out a sigh. Michonne looked at me with tears in her eyes.
It was the first time any of us had mentioned Carl; it was a shock that I was the first one too.
He took the bottle and drank some of it before handing it off to Michonne. She finished it off and stuffed it in the bag that she was carrying.
"Just a few more miles and we will be there." Michonne said before she looked up ahead.
You could see the hill where the hilltop sat. You could see just the tops of buildings which was good enough for me.
We began walking as quickly as we could. Michonne held onto Rick as we did so.
I looked to my right and imagined a hand waiting for mine. I reached out wanting something warm to grasp on to but there was nothing. I frowned, turning around. I waited for Carl to come walking from the distance.
And there he was, walking up the hill with his hat on his head. His blue eyes were so bright. He looked up and saw me, he smiled so widely. He began to run making his hat fly back, and onto the ground. I giggled at the sight as tears formed and fell quickly. He met up beside me and laughed a laugh that was filled with joy.
