The Accident.

The day started normally, getting assigned a chore finally,
Bea taking advantage and sleeping in as much as she can.

Walking over to the grimes house early in the morning to fulfill my "seeing Carl everyday" promise.

Knocking on the door worried it was too loud, the door unlocking, Michonne holding Judith giving a friendly smile.

"H-hi Is Carl here" I asked sounding small.

"He should be upstairs" she told me, while moving to the side so I could enter.

Giving her a smile and a nod, and Rick a small wave,
I walked up the stairs quietly just in case.

Knocking on his door quietly, after no answer I repeat his name above a whisper for an answer.

Still no response just opening the door at this point.

Just straight up walking into his room, finding him asleep on his back, giving a questioning look I slowly walk over shaking him awake.

He groaned being annoyed.

"Could you at least be excited to see me" I huffed, joking.

His eyes fluttered open by the sound of my voice, unfamiliar in the early morning.

"Oh, hi" he said softly, the calmest I've seen him.

Him slowly getting out of bed, grabbing his flannel and not forgetting his hat this time.

Frantically putting his shoes on, losing balance easily,
Putting my hand out for him to grab to steady himself, him whispering a small "thank you".

"So, uh where to now" I said pulling the "o's" out.

He only shrugged "wherever you go, I'll follow" he spoke, not knowing what he said.

"Well that's cute grimes but i have to keep watch, so come on" I motioned for him to follow, already walking down the stairs.

A confused expression on Carl's face trying to put together what he said and what it meant.

Getting downstairs, facing Michonne and Rick absolutely pushing Carl in front of me to talk to his parents rather than me embarrassing myself.

"We're going to the watch tower to.. watch" he spoke.

Rolling my eyes at him but behind him so he couldn't see.

"Oh, okay be safe up there, just yell if anything goes wrong" Rick told us.

Giving a reassuring smile and a nod convincing Rick myself so Carl doesn't have to.

Grabbing Carl's hand saving us from anymore awkward conversation.

"Way to make it sound suspicious" I told Carl.

"You put me on the spot what was I supposed to do" he said, a small smile forming on his lips.

"Make it sound like we're just doing a chore and don't make it sound like we're doing drugs or having sex" I explained laughing.

"Well-" Carl began.

"No, I forbid you from speaking Carl grimes" I told him smiling.
