Chapter 4: Meeting Them

"Sorry darlin', did I give you a mighty scare there?" an old man said as he walked out the RV. I didn't move, I was too scared to. But I have to be partly honest, I was enjoying Carl's company. 

I let out a shakey breath before clearing my throat. "I, uh... Yeah, you did." I replied. I nuzzled myself into Carl's arms, feeling him tighten them around me. "I am so sorry. Can we get on the right track here then?" the old man said. But my mom pointed the gun at his face, "You don't know us." she said harshly. Another man started speaking, "I'm Glenn. That old man is Dale. We promise you, we are not bad people." he said. 

My mom slowly but hesitently lowered her gun. "I'm Florence. This other lady here is Lori. Those two children hugging each other are Carl and (y/n). My teenage boy there is Oliver." she said. Glenn nodded, "Shall we introduce you to the others then?". "That would be nice." Lori answered. They went to each person and their families to meet them. 

"So uh... Are you two ever gonna let go?" Oliver suddenly asked. I looked at Carl, who's face was an inch from mine. I let go awkwardly and looked away blushing. "S-sorry, I blanked out there for a second." I said. "No worries, I think I did too." he replied. I walked towards the car and pulled myself up on the trunk where I could see the road. I sat down shortly and stared at the empty, deserted road. 

"Are you ok now?" a voice asked me. "No, not really. It'll take time." I replied. I continued watching the road as the person took a seat beside me. "How about you?" I asked, "Are you ok?". They stayed silent for a while, until I looked at them. It was Carl, looking straight into my (e/c) eyes. "Well, I guess I'm like you. It'll take time... To forget.", "To forget what?" I asked. He sighed and rested his chin on the palm of his hand. "You forgot already.. But y'know, the whole 'my dad is probably dead' thing." 

"Oh..." I said. After a long five minutes I started to speak again. "No one else but my family knows this, my dad is, well, gone." I finally said. Carl looked at me, slight shock imprinted on his face. "I-I'm sorry to hear that." he said, "Don't be. It's been three years since it happened.". "How'd he die?" Carl asked, still locking his gaze onto me. "He was in the army. Got sniped by a russian. I was only seven, so it took me down hard." I replied, remembering the fading memories of his funeral. "He was a good man, my dad. He cared for his children right, loved his wife like no other, and fought everyday for the people he knew should live.", I continued, "And sometimes, I could still see him smiling at me. That stupid grin, the one that was so heart warming.". Carl put his hand on top of mine, "How does it feel?" he asked, "I just- I don't know. But I do have this feeling, one that hurts, like it's eating me alive. And I'm suffering, Carl, I don't like it. I don't like it one single bit." I said. 

I looked back at him, his blue eyes were looking at mine, like it was penetrating the walls that kept my soul and body separated. He was looking at me, not the shell but, the inside, the real me. That was enough to make me crack. The tears that threatened to come out at my dad's funeral that never did leak through my eyes were gonna drip though. The choking feeling that was laying at the back of my throat like hot wax was about to explode with sounds of hurt and sobs. But finally, it all just flowed. Like a river, just like that, naturally. All the sadness I was trying to isolate had broke free. And Carl, the only person who could help me right now was here, wrapping his arm around me and welcoming my head to rest on his shoulder. Not my mom, not Oliver, but him, Carl.
