I ran as fast as I could after that car. I shot my gun twice but they still didn't stop. I screamed and yelled but they kept driving. Soon they were out of sight and I was alone. I stopped and tried to catch my breathe. I took a bottle of eater out of my bag and drank almost half of it. I put the cap on and started walking. I walked for what felt like hours before I came to the tree. I followed the path back to the shooting range and started back to the farm. All in all it took me about three hours to walk all the way back to the farm.

I walked through the front gates and I took my bottle of water out. I heard screams and looked up to see Eve and Katy running towards me and Gabe was wiping his eyes. Katy and Eve basically jumped on me with hugs and Gabe came over too. There was hugs all around and I was still slightly confused.

"Shane and Andrea came back without you and Shane said that you were probably dead because the place you went was overrun." Eve explained and Dale came over to me and gave me a hug. The whole group was in a group discussing something when they saw me. Glenn, T, Carol, and Lori gave me a hug and they all started asking questions.

"Hey guys, if you give me a second, I'll explain what happened." They all shut up after I said that.

"Well after the advanced practice, we went to this big community and Shane and Andrea went in one house and I went in the other. I was looking around when I heard gunshots outside. I saw that the front and back door were blocked by walkers so I climbed out the window that I broke in the bedroom. I saw them shooting the walkers and I climbed down the gutter so I could catch up with the car but I guess they didn't see me because when I turned around the car was gone. I tried to catch up with it but it was too far. I knew my way back to the training ground so I went there and found my way back to here." I explained and everyone hung on to my words.

They explained that everyone believed I was dead so they held a service for me. Shane said he though he heard me screaming but not the way I actually was. I was screaming for him to stop but he heard that I was screaming because they got me or something.

My "grave" was next to Otis's and everyone went about their business so I decided I would visit it. I walked down to the tree and saw that Carl and Daryl were there. I could see both of their backs shaking and I knew they were crying. I stopped dead in my tracks and watched them for a while. I saw Daryl wipe his face and he walked back to his tent, no doubt wanted to be alone for a while.

I walked closer to Carl and stood behind him. He was muttering something to my grave.

"Why did you leave me. Why did you have to go. Why couldn't you stay with me. I could have went with you and protected you. You would still be here if I went. You never should have went. I like you a lot Hailey. I do! I may not know what love is but I know it's what I feel when I'm with you. I get butterflies and my brain gets all weird and I..." He sobbed and then trailed off and I had a tear run down my cheek.

If that's how he truly felt then we feel the same about each other. I couldn't help but smile as I walked around him. I stood on my grave and he looked down at my feet. I could see the tears falling from his eyes as he gaze traveled up my legs and to my eyes. He let out a sob and jumped up and grabbed me in a hug. He was pretty much a head taller than me (yea yea, I know I'm short) so I snuggled myself in his arms as he hugged me. I felt drops hit my neck and I knew he was still crying.

He hugged me for a while and I heard Daryl call my name. Carl let go and I saw my brother and almost cried. His eyes were red and puffy and I knew he was crying, even though it's weird to think that I made Daryl Dixon cry. He picked me up in a hug and spun me around. He put me down and kissed my head. He had his true smile on his face and I knew that that was a rarity.

Shane walked by and stopped dead in his tracks. Daryl turned to him and gave him a glare. As quickly as I could blink Daryl ran at him and was going after him. I yelped and Carl called for his dad as he pulled me back a little. Shane was punching my brother in the gut and I was crying. Rick got there and pulled them apart but not before my brother could get a nice swing to Shane's chin. I made sure Daryl was ok and went off to set up my tent.

I made sure it was sturdy and went back to the house to get all my things. Carl was set up in his parents tent and I had my own. I made sure I kept everything in my bag just incase.

I fell asleep early that night.
