The Walking Dead: Left Behind (Carl Grimes)

On Our Way

We started the day early, and me, Liz, and my dad went on a long walk to a nearby grocery store to find some supplies. We were going to search for our group.
"Hey, I found some water!" Eliza said, pulling out five Aquafina water bottles.
"Alright!" I smiled and walked over to take one.
"No. This isn't for us. If we find them, they will be thirsty. No." My dad said. I put it back giving him a dirty look.
"Well what if they are all dead?" I walked over to him. "They could be walkers roaming around eating the flesh off of remaining survivors."
"Then we will have some extra water." He shoved me out from in front of him, and walked to the other isle.
"Carl!" She looked at me, disgusted. "What was that? I thought you were going to respect him a little after our talk?"
"Well, if he is going to act like he does, I'll act like I do." I went over to a screw driver, and put it in my back pack.
"Act like what? He is trying to survive and be a good father but you are tearing him down!" She walked away.
"Eliza!" I said, then sat down, back against the shelves. "What have I gotten myself into..."
Later on after that store, no words were spoken to each other. We just walked, and walked, and walked, to an abandoned hospital.
"Stay here. I'll go in." He said.
"What? No. I'm going in." I started to walk towards the door, but Eliza pulled me back, and gave me a quick "No." My dad then nodded at her, and went in.
"Seriously?" I said.
"What? I was helping him." She replied.
"So your on his side now?" I whispered.
"No. I'm not on anybody's side, Carl. I just don't want him to think you don't care about him." She looked into my eyes.
"Well stop. I don't really care about that. The only thing I care about is finding my family." I started to walk away.
"He is your family! He is your father!" She yelled at me, and attracted two walkers from the left of the hospital, but she didn't know. One almost bit her, I was turned around.
"Carl!" She yelled, me not knowing the real problem, didn't come running until I saw it's ugly face beside hers. I pulled my gun up, but it was already dead before I could shoot. When it fell, a familiar face appeared.
"Thank you." Eliza said to the man, and hugged him.
"Glenn?" I came closer. He embraced her, but detached when he saw me.
"Carl?" He looked at me. "Where is Rick? Where's your dad?" He was worried.
"Glenn calm down. He is inside." He nodded and ran in. A few minutes later, they both came out, but with another person too.
"Michonne?" I ran towards them, and hugged her. "Where were you guys? what happened to everyone else?" I looked around.
"Well me and Glenn were just searching around here," Michonne said, and Glenn added on. "And we saw Daryl and Maggie about half a mile away, but were caught off and lead here by a few walkers surrounding us. And uh.." He swallowed. "Who is she?" He pointed to Eliza.
"Her name is Eliza. I uh..found her by the house we are staying at." I said.
"Rick?" Glenn said.
"She is staying with us. She is, okay." Him and Michonne walked away, killing the other walkers around us. Me and Glenn walked over to Eliza.
"Thanks again.. uh.." she didn't know his name.
"It's Glenn." He said, smiling. She smiled.
"Glenn." She turned around and picked up her gun that was on the ground, and sat down on the piled cinder blocks. Glenn and I walked away.
"So..." He said looking back at her.
"So... What?" I was confused.
"Well, she is your age.." He looked back at her again. "Pretty, and it seems like you and her get along."
"No... No... She is a friend, a part of a group I guess." I thought to myself... Maybe she is something else. Not a sister, or friend...
Me and Glenn made our way to Michonne and my dad, and I motioned Eliza to come.
"Where to next?" Glenn asked.
"Well if you saw Maggie and Daryl, shouldn't we look for them?" I said.
"They could have driven miles away already if they found a car." Michonne added on.
"Well we should still look. Maybe the three of us can look on one side of town, and you two on the other. We meet here at sunset." He motioned towards me Eliza and Glenn to take the right side of town, and him and Michonne the left side.
"Okay... And if either of us find them, we all just come here?" Glenn asked.
"Ya... And try to maybe find some food and water." My dad said. We all started on our way.
"Hey Rick!" Eliza yelled. "I have the five waters still!" She tossed him two. He handed one to Michonne, and put one in his bag. He nodded and was on his way.
"Here Glenn." She handed one to him.
"Thanks." He opened it and drank half.
"Carl?" She held one out to me.
"No. Save mine for Maggie or Daryl." I pushed it back to her. She put it back and we went around the hospital and followed the tracks where Glenn and Michonne saw them.
"So you saw them here?" I asked him.
"Ya. We were here and they were there, by the stop sign. Then walkers came and they ran off. They went down that street." He pointed.
"Then let's go!" Eliza smiled and started for the street they went down.
Glenn looked up, " Were on our way Maggie." Then he caught up with me and Eliza.
We walked for a while, and had no sign of them, until we saw a walker with an arrow in its eye. I bent down beside it.
"They've been here..." I pulled it out and examined it. "Well, Daryl has anyway." I showed Glenn.
"And Maggie." Eliza said, looking up at a building. I walked over to her.
"What is it?" I looked at her as she looked up.
"You don't see it?"Glenn came over to us as she asked me.
"What?" Glenn said. She pointed it out to the both of us.
"It says we are here." She looked at Glenn. "With an M beside it."
"She has done this before... When we went to Terminus. We need to stay here until they get back." He walked towards the building.
"Hey!" He looked back at me. "We have to be back by sun down." I walked towards him, Eliza behind me.
"Then I guess we wait till sundown, and come back tomorrow." Glenn sat down, and so did I. We all waited. We heard a gun shot.
"Maggie?" Glenn stood up. A figure appeared by the trees in front of us.
"M... Maggie?"
