I Love You So

Part 13

It was around 1200 the next day. Amanda was inside with Glenn and T-Dog, making lunch for everyone.

"Amanda, you can't possibly think it's a good idea to keep Randall around." Glenn said

"I don't agree or disagree." Amanda admitted, "I don't think it's right for us to take another persons life, though." She said, chopping up lettuce.

T-Dog sighed, slicing up some carrots, "I think this might be something we can't come back from, if we kill him." He said

"That's what I'm saying. Do we kill everyone we meet in fear? Shoot first, feel remorseful later?" Amanda asked

"We should've just left him in the town." Glenn said, reaching over and taking a carrot slice from T-Dogs pile, "It wouldn't have been on us if he lived or die."

Amanda sighed as she grabbed the cooked chicken and began shredding it, "I don't know, Glenn. I couldn't just leave him." Amanda said softly, "I should've." She admitted. She began to set the table. She gave everyone a salad with carrots, tomatoes, seeds, shredded chicken and home made cheese. She placed a fruit melody in a small bowl besides everyone's salad, sighing softly. She looked up as Rick walked in.

Rick snaked an arm around her hip, kissing her temple, "Hey, you've been hiding from me." He noted

"I don't want to be involved in the torture of Randall. I know that's what you're all doing." Amanda said

"No. Not all of us. Just Daryl." Rick admitted

Amanda scoffed in disgust, shaking her head as she walked to the kitchen to get a pitcher of water. Amanda was wearing a white long sleeve shirt, a cropped brown vest and some black leggings. She walked into the living room and poured Rick a glass of lemon water.

Rick grabbed her wrist, "Hey, talk to me." He said

"I have been, Rick. I have been." Amanda said, "I'm running out of things to say." Amanda admitted, "We've said all that needs to be said about Randall." Amanda said

"Dale is holding a meeting to talk about Randall." Rick said

Amanda inhaled softly, nodding as she continued to pour water into empty glasses as more people filled into the kitchen for lunch.

"Amanda?"  A small voice spoke up.

Amanda turned around and smiled at Carl, "Hi honey." She said, kneeling down to his eye level, "Hungry?" She asked as she rubbed his stomach

"No. Can i talk to you?" Carl asked shyly

"Of course, let's go to my room." Amanda said, taking his hand and leading him to her room.

Rick looked up and watched them curiously, but stayed at the table and ate lunch.

Amanda led Carl into her room and shut the door. She sat down on the edge of the bed and smiled at him, "what's up?" she asked

"I did something bad." Carl said as tears began to fall

"Okay, let's talk about it. Let's see how i can help." Amanda said, patting the bed

Carl let out a cry as he lifted up his shirt, showing Amanda the gun on his belt

"Oh!" Amanda said, trying to stifle her emotions, "let's take this from you, yeah?" amanda asked, turning the safety on before she carefully laid the gun on her bed, "where did you get it?" Amanda asked curiously

"I stole it from Daryl's bag. Please don't tell him. He'll kill me." Carl cried softly

"Hey, nobody's killing anyone." Amanda said soothingly, stroking his cheek, wiping his eyes, "Why did you take this?"
