Day after day, week after week, you and Nick had been travelling. You were worried, stressed and just wanting to find your brother. You’d been in California since the start of the apocalypse, the Clarks had been like a second home, but when it came to the end of L.A you had a choice to make and when you told them you weren’t coming with them, you were going home to look for your brother and the rest of your family, you found yourself unable to say goodbye to Nick, he felt the same and decided to come with you, which left the rest of the Clarks to follow Victor into the great unknown and you tried to make the two day race without getting into too much trouble on the roads.
But lack of fuel, traffic, and the undead made it a struggle to get there. You tried so hard to search for your brother, but when you arrived in your home town, his house was long gone. It hurt you, it made you worry. What were you going to do now? Nick had come with you for nothing; he’d left his family for no damn reason.
It was the worst night that night, curled up on a mattress crying and uttering that you were sorry for him coming for no reason, that you were sorry and that you hated yourself for making him come. But Nick just held you that night, told you that it was alright, that you’d be okay, that they’d head to Atlanta next and they’d keep trying to look, just for a while.
It was different now; it wasn’t a hunt for your brother. It was a hunt to save your lives. While Nick was good at hiding who you both were from the walkers, it was still hard. You had lost all hope, you didn’t know what to do anymore, you didn’t know how to cope. You’d lost your family, lost the only other people who loved you.
That was however, until you stumbled across a prison, the pair of you stood together at the edge, covered in walker blood watching the people inside. It was then, it was then you saw him. You moved alone the fence, your heart thumping harder and harder. You wanted so badly to scream out, to shout his name. It was Rick. You knew you shouldn’t speak, shouldn’t give up who you were with these walkers around, but you couldn’t help it, the name just came out. “Rick!”
Several times you screamed his name, until he started to make his way toward the fence to see who you were, but at this point the walkers were on you, causing you to turn around. Fear appearing in on your face. Nick was beside you, all you had were a couple of knives. Trying to fight them off alone, felt useless, this was the end if they didn’t let you in. But then it seemed someone was looking out for you, because guns started to go off, and people were outside of the gates trying to get rid of the walkers to get the pair of you in.
“Get in, get in now!” Rick shouted, causing you and Nick to race into the prison. Landing on the ground, you lay on the ground for a moment. Rolling over, you looked up at Rick and found tears forming in your eyes. “Rick.” You said softly, as he reached down to pull you up. “Y/N.” Standing up, you hugged tightly, tears spilling from your eyes. “I thought you were dead.” You heard him whisper, causing you to laugh slightly too. “I thought you were too.”
Pulling away, you grabbed Nick’s arm and pulled him closer. “This is Nick, he’s my boyfriend… and the reason I’m here alive now.” Rick and Nick shook hands, a smile spreading across their features as they exchanged pleasantries. “Come on, let’s get the both of you inside, cleaned up and then I’ll introduce you to everyone and we can share stories.” Rick said as he started to escort the pair of you inside, glancing at your brother, you grinned softly, before looking over to Nick and mouthing a soft ‘thank you’ and him just smiling and nodding. You were safe, you were with family and you were with Nick, if only that was the end of the hard ships the group would face.
