Morning came and Theo had only gotten around 2 hours of sleep.

The first thing she did was head over to Deanna's house.

Deanna opened the door, Reg behind her and Spencer waiting in the hallway.

"I know when i came back yesterday i was angry, but i didn't consider how that came across to you, i am sorry about Aiden, i really am." Theo apologised

"Thank you, Theo, we appreciate your sympathy, we really do" Reg nodded behind Deanna

"Yes, thank you" Deanna tried to smile.

"But that doesn't change what I said. But I was wondering if i could talk about something else, it might be bad timing, but i think it needs to be said." Theo rubbed her hands together

"Please," Deanna said, letting Theo walk in the house, being watched by the Monroes.

"Nicholas, whether you believe me or not, was a coward, a lot of your people are. Abraham explained to us how he saved a woman because one of the men wouldn't risk it. But that's not who we are, me and my people care about each other, we take risks and do things we aren't comfortable with, for our people, you say that your people are our people to now and i agree, i would put myself on the line to save people here, but i know they wouldn't do the same." Theo admitted making Deanna stop and think, you could tell by the thought in her eyes.

"I don't think you have any right-" Spencer began but Deanna stopped him

"What do you suggest?" Deanna asked. The words of Theo last night had stuck with her all night.

"If it was up to me, we would discuss together some changes, some real changes" Theo looked at Deanna

"Okay, i'll think about it" She nodded before walking away

"Another thing" Theo stopped Deanna. "Noah believed in this place, he truly did, we want to be here, for him, for everyone else we have lost, because we need this place, and you don't know it yet, but you need us too" Theo put sharply but not to be rude, but to make sure she was understood

"Okay. And Theo. Nicholas won't be allowed on runs anymore. He's done" Deanna nodded.

"It's a start, but that won't do"

Deanna said nothing, she just let Theo walk out.

She began walking down the road when smashing of glass and yelling came from Jessie's house.

She ran the corner to see her dad and Pete, the surgeon in Alexandria fly through the window and into the street fighting one another

"Hey!" Theo yelled running over

Other people had an over to the commotion.

Jessie tried to pull off Pete, but only resulted in him hitting her back and out the way.

Rick had managed to get on top of Pete, punching him

"Dad!" Theo tried to stop as Carl ran over only to be pushed onto the floor.

Theo ran to Carl making sure he was alright.

He nodded before as Theo helped him up.

"Rick!" Deanna yelled as he got off of Pete after knocking him unconscious.

"You still don't get it do you!" Rick yelled, pulling out a gun.

"Dad!" Theo tried to get his attention, she was angry at him, not only had she just talked to Deanna about making changes around her, but she had also just witnessed her father push his own son over, intentional or not, it still happened.

"There needs to be change, your way of doing things here is over!" Rick continued to yell.

Theo caught sight of Michonne making her way over, confusion on her face.

"I think that's more than clear to me right now" Deanna angrily spoke

"Me? Me? You mean me?" Rick asked in shock.

Theo tilted her head up to Michonne, signalling for her to shut him up.

Theo walked behind her father as Michonne picked up the pace, Michonne landed a punch to Rick, knocking him out, Theo quickly grabbing the gun

"Get him inside" Theo told Glenn and Abraham

"Deanna..." Theo tried to start but she held her hand up to stop her from talking.

"Hey!" Someone on the gate yelled "There is someone out here!" Catching the attention of the others.

"Daryl?" Theo asked Glenn who just shrugged his shoulders

As some people helped Pete to the infirmary, the rest of them made their way to the gate where they were letting in someone.

Deanna walked over to the woman, but Theo quickly realised who it was

"No, Deanna no" Theo began walking over to her.

"What?" Deanna was confused

"She just walked up to the gate" Sasha explained as she was on watch

"She can't be here" Theo tried to explained

"Why who is she?" Deanna asked, but that's when the woman looked up, relaising Theo was standing in front of her.

"Julie" Theo began

"Where is my daughter!" Julie yelled at Theo, turning from shy to angry.

Theo stayed silent.

"Where is she!" Julie yelled pulling out a gun and pointing it towards Theo.

"Wow!" Reg yelled, pushing Deanna away, the other backing up.

"Okay, put that down!" Michonne ordered.

"Michonne, just let me handle this" Theo stood with her hands out, worried she was about to get shot.

"Look, put that gun down and we will talk, I promise" Theo tried to calm her.

Meanwhile, Glenn and Maggie were behind Theo, preparing to grab their knives as they no longer had their guns, preparing themselves to help out if it was needed.

"Where is she" Julie cried, shaking the gun in her hands.

"Put the gun down, please" Theo begged

"Not until you tell me." Julie began walking closer.

Theo took a few steps back, allowing distance.

"She got bit" Theo told her

"And Matt?" Julie yelled

Theo knew what this meant, she knew she killed him, but what was she meant to say

"I dont know" Theo tried to lie

"You're lying to me!" Julie screamed

"Stop!" Glenn yelled, frantic and scared

"You killed them!" Julie grunted

"No, i didn't" Theo began "You left your daughter for dead, more than once" Theo began to get angry

"No, you killed them!" Julie screamed.

But everything for Theo stopped.

Glenn watched as everything stopped and slowed down as a gun fire went off and Theo began to fall...

All Theo saw was Glenn run to Julie and stab her, but Theo's vision was blurry and tilting.

She hit the ground with a thud, the concrete not being a soft landing.

"Glenn!" Maggie yelled in the distance, fading away from Theo.

She looked down to see blood, a lot of blood.

That was when she realised she had been shot.

Maggie held on to Theo for deer life, placing pressure on her wound as Glenn took Julie out, stabbing her quickly in her head.

Deanna ran to Theo's side to help Maggie, but there was so much bleeding

"Glenn!" Maggie yelled as he ran over. Holding onto her as her body went limp.

Maggie felt she was losing another family member, someone who over the years had become like a sister to her.

"Quickly get her to the infirmary now!" Deanna yelled

Glenn picked her up in his arms and began to run, he ran as fast as his legs could hold him.

He stormed into the room.

Pete looked up in anger before his face turned soft.

"Please, help her" Glenn cried as he walked over to a bed and placed her down onto it.

"Okay, I need everyone to back up, does anyone have any medical experience?" He asked rushing around to get everything he needed

"I can help" Maggie suggested taking off her jacket as Glenn backed away.

He covered his mouth in shock, crying to see his best friend once again in the position of dying, his hands covered in her blood.

"Everyone needs to get out now," Pete explained as Michonne walked Glenn out the room.

They walked outside before Michonne went to get Rick and Carl.

Glenn was spaced out, he didn't even realise Rick and Carl arrived.

"What happened?" Rick cried, running to his side.

"Do you remember that man that Theo killed? Back at the church?" Glenn reminded him, his eyes watering.

"Yes"

"That was his wife" Glenn rubbed his head.

"Where?" Carl cried

"Her stomach, it wasn't very high, but it hit her close, she went down hard" Glenn worried

"Daryl..." Carl began

"He should be back soon" Carol spoke up behind them

"Pete..." Rick suddenly turned angry

"He's doing his job," Glenn snapped.

Rick nodded in slight guilt before sitting outside.

It felt like ours passed when finally Pete and Maggie walked outside, everyone standing as the sun began to go down.

"Well?" Rick asked

"She is stable, but she hasn't woken up yet, the bullet was intact, but it was deep, she was lucky, but if she wakes up she will have to take it slow for a couple of weeks' ' Pete explained as he wiped his hands.

"If?" Glenn panicked at that one word.

"Thank you," Rick nodded as he stepped inside, ignoring Glenn.

Carl and Glenn followed after, Michonne behind also.

They walked over to see Theo, white as a sheet, attached to machines and IV bags, like she was in a real hospital.

Rick sat in the seat next to her, taking her hand in his.

Carl stood on the other side, repeating his father's actions.

"Who was that woman?" Rick spat.

"Like i said, she was asking for a little girl, her daughter and her husband" Glenn sat on the end of the bed

"Do you know anything?" Michonne asked Rick

"I know a lot," Rick admitted as he took a deep breath. He began to explain everything he was told by Daryl back at the church.

Glenn walked home after sending him with Theo for a little longer, leaving Carl with her for the night,.

There was a meeting being held for everyone tonight, but he had to go home and wash the blood of of his hands.

He stood in front of the kitchen sink, washing his hands uncontrollably until a pair of arms wrapped around him.

He broke down crying into Maggie arms.

"She's going to be okay" Maggie tried to tell him, but he just cried.

He was so scared.

"She's going to be okay" Maggie continued to tell him as he cried.
