Just breathe. //Glenn's younger sister // Carl grimes love story

Alexandria.

"Where have you three been?" Rick said glaring at Carl. "We went to explore and we found some stuff." I said back. "Mhm... and you didn't decide to tell anyone?!" Glenn said with an angry look. "You guys were busy and we didn't want to bother you." Carl said.

"Next time tell us. Please." Glenn said hugging me. "Ok sorry." I said looking up at him.

When it became dark, we packed up and began to drive to Aaron's camp. Everyone but Michonne, Glenn, and Rick road in the Rv. Carl, Judith, Noah, and I were squeezed in the booth in the mini kitchen. I was digging through the backpack I found in the shed and I found a deck of cards.

"Wanna play?" I asked. "Sure!" Carl and Noah said in unison. "What do you guys want to play?" Noah said. "How about seven?" I suggested while shuffling the cards. "Okay!" "Sounds good!" They said both smiling.

We played for awhile but eventually got bored. I was playing with Judith when Carl came up to me and started playing with her too. "Hey." He said looking at me. "Hi." I said awkwardly.

"Glenn told me." He said now looking at the floor. "Told you what?" I said with a laugh.

"A-about your baby sister." My smile quickly faded. "Oh." I picked up Judith to distract me from crying.

Glenn and I had a baby sister who had died at the beginning of the apocalypse. She got bit and I was the one who... killed her. "Y-you know... well- you know you can talk to me right?" Carl said looking me in the eyes.

"Thanks Carl. For everything. I- I don't know what would happen if you weren't here." He gave me a soft smile. "I don't think I would even be here." I mumbled. "After Beth and Hershel, I thought about dying every minute of every day. And somehow... whenever I talk to you or, look into your eyes everything seems okay again. Like nothing ever happened. I feel like I'm safe." I said tears in my eyes looking down. He gave me a long hug and whispered in my ear.. "You know.. I need you too."

This was the moment that I realized I was slowly falling in love with him.

I awoke with Carl squeezing my hand. "Hey! Hey! Wake up! We should go! Everyone is already outside." "Okayyy I'm cominggg." I said yawning and grabbing my bag from under the booth.

I stepped out of the RV only to see a gigantic gate with a sign that read- " Welcome to the Alexandria safe zone. Mercy for the lost. Vengeance for the plunderers." "Wow. It's real." I said looking up at Glenn. "I have a feeling... we just found our new home." He said smiling down at me. I smiled back as the gate slowly opened.

We were greeted at the gate by a tall man with curly hair. He looked at Aaron with a questioning look. "It's okay." He said to him smiling.

"Come on in guys." We were walking in slowly when I saw a girl in one of the abandoned houses behind us. I nudged Carl, "Hey there's a girl over there." Carl looked at me with a smirk. "What?" I said rolling my eyes. "Good thing we found this place you're starting to hallucinate." He said with a laugh. I scowled at him smiling back.

Aaron was talking to Rick. "Why don't we let you talk to Dianna. She's the one who started this place. Rick she'll want to see you first." Aaron said. Rick followed Aaron into a house as the rest of the group just stood there.

"What now?" I said looking at the man who had let us in. "We will take your guns." "Bullshit." I said holding my gun up with my finger on the trigger. " T-They will still be yours you just have to check them out if you go outside the walls. Follow me." I sighed and started to follow him.

We all followed him to a room filled with guns. We all took out our guns and put them in a bucket that a woman with dark hair and glasses was holding. "I should've brought a bigger bucket." She said with a laugh. I watched as Carl placed his gun next to mine.
