As Long As I Have You

Chapter 2

"Oh shit" Daryl said, dragging our attention to the massive hoard of walkers heading our way. We all drew out our weapons, deciding that shooting them was our only option and that the sound of the shots were the least of our worries. I shot maybe 6 walkers before I was being pulled away by Carl who was following Rick.

"Where are we going?" I yelled to Rick over the groans of the walkers.

"Anywhere but here" he replied as he adjusted Judith who was in the 'baby carrier' strapped to his back.

We ran and ran until we reached a home. Daryl got in and quickly scouted the inside for walkers, called an all clear and the rest of us rushed inside. We caught our breaths then barricaded the door.

"Holy shit was that a close one" Glenn exclaimed, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Yes it was but now that we're here, everyone should get some rest. I'll stay up a bit and make sure everything is secure" Rick ordered and we all obeyed. Carl and I decided to stay in what supposedly was a teen's room. Neither of us felt okay with sleeping on the bed so we passed out on the floor.

-dream-
I was alone. No weapons, no one in sight, and surrounded by walkers. I was helpless. I gave up. I couldn't take on walkers without anything. It was useless...
-end of dream-

"Morgan, MORGAN!" Carl exclaimed as he shook me awake. I woke up and suddenly became aware of my surroundings. I must have been tossing and turning because I was all sweaty and my heart rate was up. I wasn't dead. It was all a dream. I burst into tears and Carl pulled me into a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around his waist as I sobbed in his chest.

"I was alone, defenseless, and surrounded by walkers. I didn't have anyone Carl. I gave up" I explained my nightmare to him in between my sobs. He rubbed my back which soothed me.

"It's okay, you're safe, and you're with me. I'll always make sure you're okay" he said, lifting up my chin. Our eyes locked. I couldn't look away. I've always secretly liked Carl, but this made me like him even more. His blue eyes are like the ocean, his nose is like a button, and his smile lights up my world.

He slightly smiled at me, and began to speak "I've always liked you Morgan, more than a friend. You're just so beautiful, strong, and warm hearted that it just blows me away." I smiled back at him and felt my cheeks blush.

"I've felt the same about you Carl" I said, and with that we both leaned in and connected the gap between our lips. His were so soft and gentle. The kiss sent off sparks. I knew that Carl was the one I wanted to survive this world with.
