I forced myself awake I looked around the tent, looks like I was the last one to wake up. I brushed my hair and walked outside. I saw Carl and Lori feeding the chickens I joined them. I took out a handful of seeds from the bucket Carl was holding. I started throwing some seeds to the chickens. I saw a few chicks they looked like the didn't have a mom maybe she died or got eaten. I walked over and picked one up, it started pecking at my hand but I just laughed because it tickled. When I put it back on the floor it started following me. It told it to stay where it was because it has siblings to look after. Like I had to.

I walked back to the camp and I saw Glenn passing food to people. I was eyeing some jerky I saw. "Hey Glenn, could you possibly, maybe give me some jerky please." I said to him. He laughed and shook his head before passing me some jerky. I started nibbling it, I couldn't remember the last time I had any and I wanted to savour the taste of it. He tried to offer me a peach but I declined it because who would eat a peach after eating jerky. That's like a crime.

I saw my dad and Rick talking to Patricia, Ellie and Beth. I walked up to dad. "Are me and Grace still coming to the shooting practice today?" I asked him. Just incase he had forgotten.

"Of course you are, go get your sister and we'll start leaving." He told me I nodded my head and ran to go and find Grace. I walked all the way back to the tent and saw her trying to play a few notes on the guitar Glenn found and I asked to have. I watched and started laughing at her failed attempts. She saw me and jumped.

"Don't do that again." She said holding her chest before starting to laugh. "How do you even play this thing?" She said hinting towards the guitar in her arms.

"Practice, a lot of it. Maybe I'll teach you one day. Oh, and dad told me to get you because we are leaving to learn how to shoot a gun soon." I said to her I turned to walk away when I heard her put the guitar on the floor rush out of the tent to catch up to me. When we got back back to the rest of the group we all got into cars. I was luckily in a car with T, Ellie and Patricia. Yes it may have been cramped but oh well. It's not like we all hated each other.

When we arrived at the little shooting range I stood next to Jimmy. T-Dog was watching us. Jimmy held his gun to the side kinda gangster like. "Don't give me that gangsta shit." T-Dog said to Jimmy kinda warning him. I laughed at him.

"Can I give it to you like gangsta shit?" I said holding my gun like Jimmy had. Jimmy just shook his head at me and T-Dog was looking at the ground laughing. It's not the first time I cussed in front of him. You would've thought he would be more mature about hearing the person who is like his daughter swearing but no he acts like a kid about it. I guess I grew up because I needed to if we were going to be on the run from these walkers killing us. I managed to hit 2 bottles that were sitting on the fence. T was still laughing, like it wasn't that funny.

"Y/N/N you really have grown up. Who thought you were so mature?" He said. Of course I've grown up what else am I supposed to do sharpen knives?

"How can I be mature if I'm not cheese." I said sending Jimmy and T-Dog into a fit of laughter. Ellie looked at me as if to say what's so funny. I mean my comeback to Dog wasn't that funny was it. At least I could point and fire a gun now that was the main objective of the day. I could see Carl getting the hang of it out of the corner of my eye and I could hear Grace celebrating to Andrea about how she hit the bottle.

We were back at the farm I was looking at the gun I used today it's a little bit heavy but it was ok. I looked around no one was nearby I looked back down and rested my head on my arm. I felt someone tap my shoulder, of course me not knowing who it was I turned around with the gun off of safety just Incase it was a walker. It wasn't it was Ellie, I put my gun away. She sat next to me. "Sorry about holding the gun to you. I thought you were a walker." I said to her apologising for almost shooting her brains out.

"It's fine I probably should have spoke up before scaring you. So I'm sorry." She said. We kept apologising because we both thought it was both of our faults for almost killing her. We must have sat there for ages talking because Hershel came out trying to find her. She walked back inside the house. I saw Grace walking to the tent, I decided to chase after her and teach her how to play the guitar now. This was going to be a one time thing probably. I just hope I don't lose the guitar or else what else am I going to occupy myself with.

I caught up to Grace she picked up the guitar and started strumming on it. "You know I was gonna teach you but I don't think you need help. You've got the hang of it now." I said to her, she started smiling. I walked out of tent and saw Carl. I walked up to him. "Hey." Was the only thing I said I didn't know what else to say. We couldn't talk about what we used to because none of that existed anymore.

"Hey." Was all he said well this is a very awkward conversation.

"I was thinking of teaching Grace how to play the guitar Glenn found but I don't need to she's taught herself." He laughed at that because learning how to play instruments in our family was kinda easy. You see, mom used to have a shop and she would sell different instruments there. She self taught herself how to play those instruments. When I was 6 she taught me how to play the drums, the guitar was something I learnt myself how to play.

"She's like you. Learning how to play one instrument in particular. That instrument being the guitar." I laughed at his comment. I remember how excited I was to tell him that I had found something that I was good at and how he asked me to perform something for him but that never happened because that was the day where me, dad and Grace were needed at the hospital to say goodbye to mom. She told me never give up on my musical talent and I never did. Because she was my true inspiration to keep learning guitar and to become better at it. But I lost my guitar when the world went to shit, the guitar Glenn got was the first one I saw in a while and that made me find hope again.
