Carl and I have been at his house for an hour and 15 minutes just hanging out. It's been really fun having him around. I feel like he's the only person who I can have fun with. Well, other than dad. "I should probably get going." I say grabbing my backpack and standing up. "Oh c'mon. Just a little longer." He says with a smirk. "Carl, I really have to go." "And do what?" I freeze and look at the ground. "There's just something I have to take care of and I can't ha-" I was cut off by Rick. "Addison you need to hide!" My heart starts racing. "He's here. Isn't he?" "Ya. And he's already inside of the walls so hurry up. Carl, go with her and don't come out until I come and get you!" "What? Where are we supposed to go!" "Go up in the attic and don't move while you're up there!" "Ok." Carl grabs my hand and then he drops the ladder down for us to climb up. As soon as we get up there I see and old couch so we go and sit on that after locking the attic door. "We're going to be fine." He whispers while grabbing my hand. I look at him. "Ya. I know." I whisper back. After that I put my head on his shoulder and then we wait.

The only reason I'm here is because I'm getting Addison and taking her back home. So Rick better confess soon because I'm not leaving without her. The first place I want to check is at Daryls house. I know she's probably not going to be in there. But you never know.

I, nervous that after today, I'll never see Addison again because if Negan somehow does find us then I know she's gone forever.

All of a sudden I hear Rick, Negan and about 20 other men doing up the stairs and stopping below us. Carl and I look at each other with nervousness in our eyes. I quickly tense up as I see the ladder being dropped. "What's up here Rick?" Negan asks in a teasing way. Carl tries pulling me behind the couch but I just stand there. "Addison, what are you doing?" He whispers. I sigh while looking at Carl, then the ladder. "The right thing." I say in a normal voice. I walk over to the ladder and look Negan right in the eye. "If you want me you can have me." I snap. He smiles while I climb down. Negan looks at Rick with a smile. "We'll be leaving now." He says while grabbing my arm and almond with me. "Wait!" Carl says while rushing over to me. He wraps his arms around me and I do the same. I could tell Negan didn't look happy. We stay like that for another minute until Negan starts pulling me away again. "Addison!" Rick suddenly yells. I turn to him and he hugs me to. I didn't expect that. "Be safe." He says out loud before whispering something in my ear. We'll get you out of there was all I could think about while Negan pushed me out of the house. As I'm about to get in his truck, I hear my name being called again. "ADDISON!" I turn around to see dad being held back by Scott, Nick and Ivan. Scott, Nick and Ivan all work for my dad. I try running but Dwight and Devon are holding me back. Negan walks over to Daryl and my heart skips a beat. "I'm warning you right now to stay away from her." He says adjusting his grip on Lucielle. "Why? She's my daughter, not yours!" He snaps back. Negan looks at him with hate. "Negan! Leave him alone!" He looks at me and smile before smashing Lucielle into dads left upper arm. "NO!" I scream as I still can't get to him. Negan hits his arm 3 more times before getting into the truck. "DAD!" I yell with tears in my eyes. Dwight and Devon throw me in the back of the van and then we drive away. I see Scott, Nock and Ivan drop Daryl and then they drive away to. I sit there with my knees curled up to my chest crying as we drove away from home.
