I'll remember us (A Carl Grimes Fan Fiction OC/AU)

Chapter Five: First Loss...

Lindsey's POV:

Sitting here in the bed with my dad in the room was not something I had planned. Gosh, I'm so stupid! I totally just exploded for no reason! After Carl was trying to help me. I never asked for his help anyways! As soon as I walked out the door I bursted in here in tears. There he was, my dad sitting here with Brenda looking at me in surprise.

"You okay baby girl?" He asked me. It had just happened about twenty minutes ago. I told him to just leave me alone. I didn't want to talk to anybody, at least not about mom. As I sit here in the bed in awkward silence, Brenda begins to whine. My dad starts to hush her, rocking her in his arms. He gets up and reaches in for a baby bottle.

As he prepares the formula I begin to hear footsteps approaching our door, "Are you gonna get it or should I?" Scolds my dad. Rolling my eyes, I get up to answer whoever is standing behind it. Slowly opening the door I see Michonne standing there with a worried glance. "Michonne" I say in surprise, "What's wrong?"

She stands there for a few seconds. Hesitant to speak her mind in front of me. "It's um time for your lessons Lindsey." She looks over my shoulder to see my dad, "Henry? I suggest you go talk to Rick. Carol and Daryl might be needing you." By the look on her face I can tell that whatever it was, it wasn't something I wanted to know.

I turn to look at my dad as he burps Brenda. "You know the rules. Have someone else with you and it's all good." He says. I glance at Michonne as she nods, "Take Brenda with you." She tells me. That moment my dads brows narrowed, and for a moment I could see him holding her tight, as if it were the last time he'll ever see her again.

He passes the little bundle of joy over to me and we head out, abandoning the room. As the three of us walk down the hallway, I see him again. The biker with the crossbow on his shoulder. Sitting there burning himself with a cigarette. "Go inside." Michonne says sternly to him. "You ok Daryl?" My dad asks him.

So that was his name, Daryl. He's so wierd, "Does he sit here all day daddy?" I whisper. "He's fine, some things are getting to him" Answers Michonne, "NOAH!?" She shouts. That moment I see a tall guy with a blue nurse outfit walking out. As he walks out I see him glance at Michonne before starring at me.

Almost as if he's mesmerized. "H-Hi!" He greets, "I'm Noah." He smiles. "Lindsey" I say smiling back. "Well I should get going" Noah says clearing his throat. "C'mon Daryl, you should go inside." He helps Daryl up and just as he was about to turn Michonne stops him.

"Noah, wait. Would you like to tag along with us?" She says. "Yea, I would like someone to be with Lindsey just for safety. You never know, you know?" My dad explains. Suddenly Michonne's face softened. "Um I wish I could but I can't leave Daryl..." Noah gets interrupted.

"It's ok, I can take it from here." Daryl enters the room and shuts the door closed. "Well then I guess I'm free" Noah Chuckles. As Michonne leads us back to the woods I rock Brenda to keep her relaxed. Going deeper, I begin to recognize the trees. "Now ya'll best be careful. There are other unfriendly things here besides Walkers." Michonne warns.

"Dang, all these scratch marks." I hear Noah say under his breath. I felt my face turn hot at the sound of those words. "Those are Lindsey's from yesterday" Says Michonne. Noah chuckles before glancing at me, "Your face is red Lindsey" I quickly turn the other way so he wouldn't see me, "It's embarrassing" I murmur.

"What, are you teaching her or something?" He asks Michonne. "Trying to." She replies "Last time she came with Carl." I remember he wouldn't stop talking the whole time. Such a distraction wouldn't let me concentrate, hopefully I can get peace and quiet with Noah. Brenda begins to whine a bit before she let's out little cries. "Oh here I can take her" Noah offers his arms.
