Deception

Chapter 27

I wake up to the sound of talking, my head aches and I start to stand up but something holds me in place and I look down confused. My left hand is handcuffed to a table leg and I lean against the leg and groan. "You ready to go?" Rick asks everyone, they all nod their heads in unison, well expect Carl. He glares at his dad and then starts to come over to me.

I want this boy dead.

"Come anywhere near me and I will rip your head off." I say, I see him look down at the ground, guilt obliviously taking a hold of him. Carl kneels down next to me and strokes my hand, I yank it away but end up cutting my skin on the sharp metal surrounding my wrist. He immediately takes his hand off mine and looks back at Rick.

"We can't just leave her here, she's part of the group." Carl grunts, Rick glares at him and sighs, he walks up to Carl and lays a hand on his shoulder.

"Listen Carl, she's not safe, she tried to kill you for god sake! She'll do it again if she has the chance, she's safe here there's a couple of cans of food that I'm going to leave and some water, she'll be fine." Rick says and Carl shakes his hands off his shoulders.

"This isn't right dad, she's a member of the group, I killed her brother and we lied about it, no wonder she's angry at us! I thought you said we don't leave family behind, I tho-" Carl gets interrupted by a flash of angry from Rick.

"I don't want to leave her Carl but I have no choice, I don't want her hurting you! Listen I know you love her but this is the safest thing for you."

"Your such a dick, you know that right? God your such an idiot." Carl puts his head in his hands and then looks up at me.

"We're going end of." Rick shouts, making me jump a little. Carl laughs bitterly and I glare at him.

This boy murdered my brother, he shot him dead when there was no need to. Yet I still love him and a part of me wants him to stay. But another part of me wants him to leave so that I can't hurt him. But I need to hurt him, make him pay for what he's done. Yet I don't want to.

I see Rick start to filter everyone out of the house, he stares at me, pity and regret in his eyes but he continues to filter the group out from the house. Carl stays by me, searching my eyes for something. I don't know what. His eyes are full of guilt and regret, if I wasn't so angry at him I would hug him. A part of me wants too but I then think about what he did to my brother and the thought gradually dulls and disappears. "Listen, I don't have a lot of time, I just want you too know that I believe that you have every right to hurt me, to kill me. And I want you too. I can't apologise enough for lying to you April, God I'm so sorry." Rick and Daryl come up behind him and Rick pulls him away. "NO," Carl screams "DONT HOU DARE" more curse words and phrases exit his mouth, Rick finally pulls him away from me. Even from the quick glance I get of Ricks eyes I can see that they are filled with regret. "I love you." Carl mouths to me as he gets pulled outside. Tears start to form in my eyes but I shake my head, why am I crying over the boy who killed my brother?

Daryl walks over to me and crouches until his eyes meet mine, he takes a sharp object and a gun from his belt and he gently lays them on the ground next to me. "We're goin' to the apartment Building where we first met you, it will take a a few hours, a day at the most for us to get there." Daryl keeps his voice low. " Listen I know you want revenge but that's not the answer, I know I you still love him."

Is it that obvious?

"I don't, he killed my brother and lied to me, you all lied to me!" The last bit comes out in a shout and I see Daryl flinch.

"I know what he did was wrong, what we all did was wrong." Daryl starts, "but it's not safe out here and I expect to see you at the apartment building soon." Wow, well what a genius, I mean first of all why would I even want to go to the place me and Carl first met and second of all, how the hell am I meant to get out these handcuffs I mean what a pri-

Daryl throws the key down next to me and I stare at him in awe, he puts a finger to his lips and walks away, slightly smiling. I stare at him, confused about the event that has just taken place.

It's only been a couple of minutes and I already miss Carl, his stupid smug smile, his weird, greasy hair and his l-

You can't think like this, this guy killed you brother.

Then why do I still love him? Why do I miss him? I shake my head. I need to see him again, possibly to kill him, or possibly to kiss him, I don't know which one yet. I groan and slam my head into the table leg, shit why do I still like this boy? Why does he still love me after I tried to kill him?

Because he loves you and you love him. That's the way it is.
