Stay With Me *Walking Dead Fan Fiction*

Chapter 6

*Carl's POV*

So there's supposed to be a new group joining us today. I'm not really fond of it, considering there's a boy and a girl that are me and Rachel's age. I guess we'll have to try and get along.

I go into Rachel's cell, and she's asleep. God, she's so beautiful. So peaceful looking. I walk over to her and brush her hair out of her face.

"Wake up, Sleeping Beauty." I say.

Her eyes suddenly flutter open, and she smiles as her eyes meet mine. She motions for me to lay down next to her, so I give her a little smirk and lay down. She puts her head and hand on my chest, and I stroke her hair with my hand.

"There's a new group joining us." I say.

"Why?" she says, pouting.

"Well, me and dad were on a run, and we came across them. They were surrounded by walkers and needed help, so we helped them. They asked if we had a safe place for them to go, and dad said yeah. Then he asked them the three questions, and they answered them quite nicely, so we're allowing them to stay. But if they as much come close to touching you, I will kick their asses." I say sarcastically.

She smiles and looks up at me. I kiss her forehead and pat her back. "Come on, I want you to meet them." I say. "Ugh, fine." she says. She gets up and rubs her eyes.

"Hey, Rachel?" I say as she's putting on her shoes.

"Yeah?"

"You're beautiful."

She smiles and looks up at me, "No I'm not."

I snap my fingers, "Gurl, you did not just go there." I say sassily.

"Oh, yes I did." she says, smirking. She reaches up on her tip toes and kisses my cheek. It's so cute how she's so much shorter than me. It makes her even more adorable than she already is.

Hand in hand, we walk outside to meet the group. There's three people. A father, and two kids. Both of the kids look about our age. This is gonna be interesting.

"This is Peter," Dad motions to the father. He gives a slight wave and doesn't make much eye contact with the both of us.

"This is Josh," Dad motions to the teenage boy. He gives a little nod and smirks towards Rachel, making me angry. I pull her even closer to me, showing her off.

"And this is Ciara," Dad motions to the teenage girl. She smiles and won't stop looking at me, making Rachel pull even closer to me, putting her hand on my chest.

"N-Nice to meet you guys." Rachel manages to squeak out.

Ciara walks right up to her and shakes her hand. "It's nice to meet you, too. Your names are?" She looks at me and Rachel.

"I'm Rachel." Rachel says nervously. "And I'm Carl." I say. Ciara looks at me and smiles, making Rachel scowl under her breath.

Josh won't stop eyeing up Rachel. It's really pissing me off.

He walks up to the both of us and we tell him our names. He asks to talk with me. Great.

We walk behind one of the brick walls, and he smiles at me. God, I hate him already.

"So, Rachel." he says, raising his eyebrow up and down, eyeing her while she's about 20 feet away, talking to Ciara.

"Yeah? What about her?" I say, my blood starting to boil.

"She's a reeaallyy pretty girl." he says, chomping on his gum.

"Yeah I know that. She's my girl." I say.

He laughs, "She's also really vulnerable and weak." he steps closer to me. "I'm tellin' you now, boy. One day, that girl will be mine. Everything will be fine, unless you get in my way. Then, I might just have to hurt her to show you who's boss."

He pats my shoulder, "It'd be a shame though, wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her." He walks off, smirking.

I'm gonna kill him.

I walk back over to the girls, and I pull Rachel to come inside with me.

As we get into her cell, I'm fuming mad.

"Listen to me, Rachel. You stay away from that Josh kid, alright?" I say, pacing her room.

She laughs, "Don't worry, I don't even want anything to do with him."

That makes me calm down, a little. My body relaxes, "Good." I pull her by her waist and place my lips on hers. She ruffles her fingers through my hair as we kiss. I place my hand on her butt, and grip, making her open her mouth and giggle. I pull away and smile at her, as she does the same.

We stay like that for awhile, and then I hear dad yelling for me.

"See you later, beautiful." I say, placing a kiss on her forehead before heading out.

She smiles cutely, "See you soon."

I love you, Rachel.
