Last night was rough. Shane came back with stuff to help Carl but Otis didn't come back. Otis lived with the Greene's. He was Patricia's husband. 

After I woke up I decided to wear a yellow shirt with white flowers and a pair of flared jeans Maggie gave me. My hair was french braided and still looked practically perfect.

"Hey Emmy." Beth says slowly opening the guest room door.

"Hey." I say picking up the boots I was given.

"We are all going outside to pick up rocks for Otis's grave wanna come?" The blonde girl asks.

"Sure." I say slipping on the boots.

I walk out the guest room door and begin to walk down the stairs with Beth.

"Hey, your limp isn't as bad." Beth says with a smile.

"Yeah, it doesn't hurt as bad either." I respond.

After awhile of picking up stones I heard a motorcycle roaring down the Greene's driveway. I put my stone in the wagon and look at the driveway. I see my dad on the motorcycle, someone in the green car we found on the highway, and the RV.

"I'll be back." I tell Beth as I walk back to the farmhouse.

"Hey kiddo." My dad says as he parks the bike.

"Hi." I say giving him a hug.

"You look different." He says pointing out the obvious clean clothes.

"It's called being clean." I say with a smile.

He just laughs and looks at the people coming out of the house.

"How is he?" Dale asks Rick breaking the Silence.

"He'll pull through, thanks to Hershel and his people." Lori says.

"And Shane." Rick adds. "We'd have lost Carl is not for him."

Dale gives Rick a hug and Carol gives Lori one.

My dad just puts his hand on my shoulder.

"We were so worried." Carol says while letting go of Lori.

"How'd it happen?" Dale asks.

"Hunting accident. That's all. Just a stupid accident."

As Beth and I sit on the porch of the farmhouse my dad makes his way too us.

"I'm going out to look for that girl again." He says.

"Alright. Promise you'll be back?" I ask him.

"Promise." He says while walking away.

"So what do you wanna do today?" Beth asks drawing my attention away from my father.

"I'm not sure. I might go check and see if Carl is awake yet." I say.

"Alright. I'll be in my bedroom if you need me." Beth says while getting up out of her chair.

I walk through the front door and into Carl's room to find him awake.

"Hey your awake." I say making my way to the side of the bed.
