I lay on the hard floor with some blankets surrounding me. It had been a week since our last visit with the saviors.

They had taken everything!

Daddy has been really really mean to me lately. I feel like we're drifting apart.

Eric has been constantly taking shifts for other people to help out so I barely ever see him.

I miss hanging out with him.

I got out of what my bed is and changed my clothes and then walked outside.

My arm is still broken and will be in a cast for a couple more weeks.

I wanna leave alexandria really bad and go to Maggie and check up on her but I know I can't.

I had a dream about Glen. We were walking through a field together and he asked me how Maggie was.

I told him I didn't know and he told me to go find out and tell her that he loves her.

I made a promise to him that I intend to keep.

I grabbed my knives and walked outside.

I looked around for daddy.

He was out front with Rick about to get into a car.

I ran towards him wanting to know where he was going.

But then he left...

He didn't even say goodbye.

I need to get out of here.

The saviors are gonna show up today and I am not ready to see them.

I grabbed my bag and put some of my things in it.

"Hey May" I heard a voice from downstairs.

"Yes" I screamed back.

"Can I see you for a second?" The voice called.

I walked down the stairs and was met eye to eye with Rosita.

"What do you need?" I asked her.

"I wanna know how to throw a knife perfectly." Rosita said.

"Alright I'll teach you" I said to her.

"Thank you" She said.

"On one condition." I said to her. "What's that" she said back.

"You help me get out of here so I can go to the hilltop and see Maggie." I said to her.

"Done" She said
. "Really?" I said back a little shocked.

"Ya you can take care of yourself you handled your self when you ran and fought off those saviors. "

"Alright then guess I'm gonna be teaching the best fighter here" I said to Rosita.

"Alright teach me so I can teach my classes" Rosita said as I walked out with her to the middle of town.

I grabbed my favorite knife and aimed it at the target we had set up and threw it hitting it perfectly into the center.

"Close your eye and aim like your shooting a gun" I said to her.

She positioned her arm up and her knife close to her eye.

"Put your knife away from your face." I said to her.

She threw the knife hitting the side of the target.
