Rick
Ain't nobody ever gonna own me, Rick, but what you did, it's more'n that. You joined up with Glenn and them when they was in the city, and Merle too. And remember when you got back to the camp, I wasn't there. You want to know why? Merle and me, was gonna raid the camp, take what we could. He was feelin' things out, and I was gonna come in like a bat outta hell or whatever and we was gonna take what we could and I dunno, destroy what we couldn't take.
But Merle didn't come back from the city, and I couldn't do it myself. I figured m'brother was dead anyhow, so I might as well stay, right? Wasn't much food, but there was shelter, and there was people to keep watch, didn't seem so bad.
And one day, I looked around and I realised...I had a family. You was the brother I never had with Merle, cause you didn't look down on me no more. You treated me like a equal, or at least valuable part of the team, the family.
You gave me a place to belong, Rick. And I damn near just threw that away because I got caught up in the moment and I forgot some things you've helped me learn.
