Chapter 43:
There'll be a lot of switching of povs
~Maggie's Pov~
Ashley was stable but she still hasn't woken up yet, She lost a lot of blood. I haven't left her side since last night. Carl comes by too. I heard Rick was back but the rest aren't back yet. Glenn isn't back yet.
The door opened and i looked over to see Rick. "How is she?" He asked standing next to me and looking at her with pain in his eyes. We all care about each other. I shook my head a little. "She lost a lot of blood..." I said quietly looking at her. "Denise said that she should have woken up already but she hasn't..." I said. "She'll be okay, She's a strong girl" He said not taking his eyes off of her. I nodded. "What happened" He asked sitting on the other side of the bed. "These people. They got in and they attacked us. When Tara and I found her she could barely keep her eyes open... She was in so much pain. I haven't seen her like that." I said as I looked at her.
Rick looked at Ashley. "I'm glad she's alright" He said looking at me. "Yeah, Me too" I said. Carl walked in. "How is she?" He asked walking up next to me. "She lost a lot of blood, We don't know yet" I said. He nodded and sighed a little. "She'll be fine Carl. She's strong" Rick said.
~Carl's Pov~ Some little time later~
I was still with Ashley. It was dark out. Everyone was asleep. I was falling asleep too. I was holding Ashley's hand. My head resting on my arm, My head on the bed. (You guys know what i mean right? I just don't know how to explain it)
It's been almost a whole two days that she hasn't woken up. I'm starting to get worried. They said she had to wake up. I think she has but we weren't here for it.. One side of me keep on saying that she won't make it. She'll be dead by tomorrow. But i don't want that. Shes one of the few people that makes me laugh. Smile. She makes me forget what's going on around me sometimes.. The other part of me is saying that yes, She will wake up. I know Ashley. She's been through so much. Too much. But she gets through it. She's a fighter.
I was drifting off. My eyes were closed. But then i felt Ashley squeeze my hand i looked up quickly. She was looking at me. "Hey, You're okay" i said holding her hand with both of my hands now. My heart was racing. She closed her eyes tightly for a few seconds and she put held her stomach with her free hand. "You're okay. Denise patched you up. You're gonna be okay" I said to her. She opened her eyes again.
I was happy and sad at the same time. "You scared me. I thought i lost you..." I said. Tears welling in my eyes. "It's okay, I'm here. In pain but here" she said quietly. She looked at me. "Don't cry" She said holding my hand. "I'm not I'm not, I'm just happy you're awake" I said smiling. "Me too" she said.
"Are they gone? Those people?" She asked quietly. "Yeah" I said "Are the other back yet..?" She asked. Worried. Sort of scared too. "No... my dad is though" I said. Her face dropped, she looked down, no longer looking at me. "They'll be back Ashley. And they're gonna be okay." I said. She looked back at me.
I looked her In the eyes. "You're gonna see Daryl again. The rest of our group is coming back." I said to her. "What if they don't? What if Daryl doesn't come back?" She asked as tears welled up in her eyes. "They will. Don't think like that okay, they'll be back" I said to her.
She's scared. And I get it. Daryl is the only family she has left. I squeezed her hand a little "They will." I said. She nodded a little.
~Ashley's pov~
Carl looked me in the eyes. "You're gonna see Daryl again. The rest of our group is coming back." Carl said. Then a thought hit me. What if Daryl doesn't come back? What if I'll be alone in this? Without my brother. Tears welled up in my eyes. "What if they don't? What if Daryl doesn't come back?" I asked. Scared.
"They will. Don't think like that okay, They'll be back" He said giving my hand a small squeeze. "They will" He said. I nodded at Carl. He nodded back. Denise, Maggie and Rick walked back in. Maggie came up to me and hugged me. Careful not to hurt me. She kissed my head. Her heart was racing. "I'm okay" I whispered. "How are you feeling?" Denise asked. "I'm okay" I said as Maggie let go. "Thank you" I said looking at Maggie and Denise. If they didn't come to me on time, I probably wouldn't be here right now.
She nodded. "Glad you're alright" I looked over to see Rick. "Me too" I said looking at him. He nodded. "They'll be back" He said. Like he knew what i was thinking. I nodded a little. "Hope so..." I said. He nodded. "They will" he said walking up to me. He sat down next to me. "Rest, you need it, you lost a lot of blood back there" he said holding my hand. I nodded slightly.
~later that day~
It's late. Dark out. Maggie hasn't left my side. We've been talking and she told me how there's half of a hoard surrounding Alexandria. The horn of the truck drew them away. She also told me that she's pregnant. "You are?" I asked with a smile. She nodded, with a smile. Tears in her eyes. "Oh my god Maggie" I said i said smiling.
She was happy i can see it. "Why are you sad?" I asked holding her hand. I can also see it. She's sad. Worried. And I get it. Glenn is out there. Her husband. "I don't know if Glenn is alive." She said. Holding back her tears. "I believe he is.... Just like I believe Daryl and the rest are alive." I said. She looked at me.
"But sometimes.." I started. "I get that feeling too. But right now. You're the only one i have closest to Family" I said. She nodded "Maggie I love you. But now we both have to be strong. You for Glenn and me for Daryl" I said. She nodded. "Okay" She said wiping her tears away. "I love you too Ashley" She said.
