It still felt unreal. I stabbed my best friend in the head. Of course it wasn't really Sasha anymore. But it was still her face. The face of the woman who stood by my side to help me in my time of need while she too was suffering. I managed to stand tall during the speeches, but afterwards I needed a moment and walked off on my own.

I sat on the ground in front of her grave. The grave of my best friend. My husband Glenn and her lover Abraham are resting back in Hilltop. And now she rests here. I felt a raindrop on my shoulder but I didn't care. I clenched my daddy's watch as it began to pour on me.

"Maggie." I glanced behind me and noticed Jesus standing there. "You really should come inside." He reached his hand out towards me. "Come on." I reluctantly took his hand and went inside of my house. I hadn't been inside of there since I left that morning.

I went over to the couch and sat down with my head buried in my hands. I heard the door open and looked up to see Enid. She glanced at me and walked over to the couch. She sat next to me and handed me a piece of paper. "Rosita found this and told me to give it to you." I immediately unfolded it and began to read it.

Maggie,

If you are reading this, then that means I am dead. I went to go take out Negan. I'm sorry for doing this but he can't be allowed to live. Rosita will be with me but I'll make sure that she doesn't die.

I'm sorry for not telling you but I know that you would have insisted on coming if you knew and I can't have that. You need to keep on living not just for the baby but for Hilltop and all of the others. I know that you are Hilltop's future. You will be the leader that everybody needs.

I can't even begin to tell you how much you mean to me. After the fall of the prison, you were the only one who didn't give up on me. You were there for me after I lost Bob and Ty. After that night in the woods, I wanted to return the favor and always remain at your side. Now you have Enid and Jesus. I wanted to stay but I couldn't wait while Negan continued to live and hurt others.

I love you and I'm very sorry to leave you.

Sasha

Tears immediately began streaming down my cheeks as my hands trembled. I just wish that she could have talked to me before I left. I didn't even know what to say. I love Sasha and I still need her.

Enid began to tear up as well. "Sasha told me before she left. Jesus and I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen. I was going to tell you but then the saviors got here. She was gone by the time they left."

I immediately grabbed Enid and held her tight. "It's not your fault. There's nothing any of us could have done. I'm glad to have you here."

I looked up and saw Jesus standing in the corner. "And you too." I motioned him over. He hesitated and then joined me on the couch. As I put my other arm around him, I noticed that he was sobbing as well. I don't know how long we all sat there holding each other but it felt like an eternity. I didn't care.
