Stay With Me *Walking Dead Fan Fiction*

Chapter 13

*Carl's POV*

I don't know what got into me, I just felt the need to show her how much I love her.

But then I chickened out.

I mean, I know she's only 14, but she'll be 15 soon. But I think we're still old enough to make our own decisions. The only reason I stopped doing what I was doing to her was because I didn't want to get her pregnant, or give her any pain; especially right now, considering we're in a freaking zombie apocalypse.

I woke up early this morning, and felt alone. So I did the only rightful thing to do.

I went to Rachel's cell.

I walked in and slowly moved the covers off of her side, then slowly climbed in next to her, trying to prevent her from waking. Much to my disadvantage, her eyes still fluttered open at the sudden movement, but her lips immediately curled up into a smile when she saw me facing her.

I quickly wrap my outside arm around her waist and pull her closer towards me, so our noses are about an inch apart from one another.

She gently leans closer and runs her nose against mine. "I love you," she says softly.

I smile sweetly and immediately say it back. "I love you, too."

She blushes cutely and closes her eyes.

I keep my arm around her waist, and fall asleep holding her warm body close to me.

--The Next Morning--

*Rachel's POV*

Carl came into my room last night, obviously not being able to fall asleep, and snuggled with me. I loved it, he's so adorable.

I'm still really shocked that he stopped doing what he was doing the other day. I was honestly enjoying it. It's probably because he thinks I'm too young yet, but I'm only barely a year younger than him.

I wake up to him soundly asleep next to me. I smile to myself and start to stroke his hair with my fingers, being careful not to wake him. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps, so serene.

After about 10 minutes of me running my fingers through his hair, he finally wakes up.

As soon as he sees me, his lips curl up into a cute smile and he immediately pulls me closer to him.

We lay there together for awhile, our bodies as one. Together.

------------------------------------------

Then suddenly he shakes me awake, telling me to get up and eat.

After we eat, I decide to go outside to get some fresh air. I haven't been outside in awhile, and I need to get some personal space.

As I go outside, I start to stab some walkers' heads just outside of the gate, when I see a pretty little bracelet laying on the ground. I pick it up and examine it. It's shiny and silver and has pretty little music notes all over it. It was very beautiful.

I quietly gasped and smiled to myself as I put the bracelet on my wrist.

It kinda looks familiar, I say to myself. But I can't exactly put my finger on it.

I head back inside, and quickly find Carl. I hug him from behind and kiss his cheek softly.

Unfortunately, he doesn't recognize the new bracelet I'm wearing. I wish he would.
