The sickness spread faster than any of us could've imagined. We had to start a quarantine, separating people old and young. I was on my way there right now with Beth and I noticed Daryl getting one of the cars ready. I furrowed my eyebrows slightly, confused. I looked over to Beth, "I'll meet you over there." I said, She looked over to me, "Why?" She asked, "I'm gonna talk to Daryl," I said. She nodded a bit, looking over at Daryl as she held Judith in her arms. "Alright.. Keep your distance. I don't want you getting sick either.." She said. I nodded at her, "I will." I said. She's been really worried, I've been too. We found out earlier that Oliver got sick, he was with the rest of the infected in the cell block where they used to keep people who were on death row when this place was up and running.

We still don't know how to treat this and people have died because of it. This was terrifying, I don't wanna lose our friends. It made me feel sick knowing that Oliver was in there and we didn't know how to help any of the sick people or make them feel any better.

"Don't be too long." She pleaded looking at me. I nodded, "It'll only be a second, go." I said giving her a soft smile, she returned it and walked away with Judith. I walked over to Daryl and put my bag down by the fence. He was taking a look under the hood, checking if everything was okay. "Daryl," I called out. He looked over and stood up straight, "What the hell're you doin' out here." He said looking at me, taking a step back. I was keeping my distance though, "You can't be near me. Go." He said. I shook my head, "I'm not close to you, i'll be fine." I said looking at the car. "You don't know that. I was in there. Don't risk it. Go." He repeated.

"Where are you going?" I asked, not moving. He kept looking at me, "Go." He said again. "I heard you, and I will go after you answer my question. Where are you going? Are you leaving again..?" I asked, I hope he wasn't leaving. I don't want him to leave us again.

He shook his head, nibbling the inside of his cheek. "Nah, Hershel said there's a college with the meds he and Dr. S need to help the sick." He said looking at me. I looked at him confused again, "You're going alone?" I asked, noticing he was the only here. "Just checkin' the car. Michonne and Bob are comin' with me." He said.

"Is it far?" I asked, He nodded. "50 miles. But we'll be back with the meds." He said looking at me, I nodded a bit and sighed through my nose. "Be careful." I said. He nodded, "Yeah," He mumbled. "Are you feelin' okay..?" I asked. He looked okay away from me. Daryl still went in there. It hits people at different times, He could still get it. "I'm alright. How 'bout you?" He asked. I nodded, "Same, I'm just worried." I said, He shook his head. "Don't be.. We'll be alright. We'll be back with the meds." He said looking at me. "I know.. See you then." I said. He nodded and I backed up, turning around and heading over to grab my bag.

"Rora," He called out. I turned around and stopped walking. "I ain't leavin' again. I already told you wouldn't." He said. I gave him a soft smile and nodded a bit. "Promise?" I asked. He just nodded, "Get outta here." He said and went back to working on the car. I smiled and turned around fully, grabbing my bag and heading back to the rest.

"Where'd you go?" Carl asked as I walked up to the entrance, he was on watch. "Nowhere, I was talking to Daryl. He's taking some people on a run to get medicine. Is Beth here?" I asked. He nodded, "Yeah, she's with Judith." He replied. "Alright," I said and walked around him, heading towards the door, "Here." He said. I looked back at him and he pulled out my gun, "Dad wanted me to give it back to you." He said holding it out towards me. I grabbed it. "He would've given it to you but he doesn't wanna get close to you." He said. I shook my head, "Why? He gets close to you, Why not me?" I asked, feeling kind of mad at the thought that dad didn't wanna see me but he's been seeing Carl.

He shrugged, shaking his head. "I don't know. He doesn't wanna take the risk I guess. I really don't know." He said. I checked the ammo and the chamber, I still had bullets. "Whatever.. Thanks." I said as he handed me my holster too. I took it and he nodded, "You're on watch after me by the way.." He said as I walked away from him. "Yeah." I said putting the holster on me. "Aurora." He called out. I turned around to face him. "Are you okay? Beth just told me Oliver got sick.." He said, staying where he was. He was standing a few feet away from me. I nodded, "Yeah he's in there.. I'm just worried about him. Other than that i'm fine." I said. He hesitantly nodded.

"Are you guys like.. Together..?" He asked with this confused expression plastered all over his face. I laughed a bit at the expression. "Why that face?" I asked. He laughed slightly too. "Because- the only boyfriend you had you never even introduced him to mom and dad.. I only met him that one time he came with you to pick me up..  It's just weird to me that dad knows him and technically he's part of the family already.." he said. I nodded a bit, smiling at him. He smiled at me too. "So are you guys together? Does dad know?" He asked. I shook my head, "No.." I said. "No to what?" He asked shaking his head too. "To both. I don't know what we are yet. Hopefully he gets better.." i said softly. He nodded, "He will.. He has to." he said.
