We Will Survive Together

Chapter 39: Teenage defiance.

Carl's POV:

We had barely got out. It was me, my dad, Beth, and Michonne. We got separated from everyone after the prison fell. I felt like it was partially my dad's fault because he could have prepared us for another fight instead of telling us everything was fine. We were walking down an empty river bank. My dad had been in a 1 on 1 fight with the Governor so he was injured really bad. We needed to find a place to stop. "Carl slow down your dad can't move that fast" Beth yelled out. I stopped and looked. Michonne stayed back to help my dad and Beth came to stand with me. "I know it is all crazy right now but we will find everyone. Kass, Daryl, Kaley, everyone made it out" she said looking at me. I nodded. "Sorry about your dad" I said looking up to her. She nodded and we kept walking. I knew she wanted Maggie back and Kaley and hell everyone. We kept walking until we found a safe spot. My dad needed to rest. We all did. We stopped at a small house. "Carl you stay out I can clear it" my dad said. "No you can barely stand" I said going towards the door. "Carl" my dad said a little louder. "I am going to do this. Your not talking me out of it" I said opening the door and walking in. My dad came in behind me and the house was empty. There were enough rooms for all of us to have our own until we decided to move on. It would give us enough time and enough room to organize how to look for everyone else. I found a small room and figured I would stay here. I wanted to help find the others. It was late and almost everyone was asleep. I walked downstairs. "You know if you would have done something sooner we would all still be alive" I said to my dad who was asleep on the couch. "There all dead because of you. And if they are alive  we may never find them" I yelled. I sat on the couch. "I do not need you. I can survive on my own" I said grabbing a bag and walking out the door. I was going to scout the other houses. I got in one and started to clear it. I heard something upstairs and at first thought it could be on of our group members. I opened the door and a walker grabbed me. As I was fighting it off a knife went through the skull. It came out and I pushed the walker body off me. I looked up and saw Beth. "What the hell are you doing here" Beth said helping me up. "I wanted to scout around." I said walking away. "You can't just walk out like that. You can't scream at your dad for something that we could have never seen coming." Beth said grabbing my arm. I nodded and we walked back to the house. We got there and I walked past my still sleeping dad. I was thinking about going back out there. How ever I knew that Beth would follow me again. As much as I wanted to go back I couldn't deep down I knew I needed my dad. 

A/n: Little bit of a shorter chapter. Like I said I am touching base with all the characters so I still have to do Maggie, Sasha, and Bob. Then Glenn and some new characters!!!!
