Against Me.

  Carl being cut short with his questioning sentence by none other than rick, motioning him over in a silent manner.

Him holding up a finger with a smile, waiting for him on the porch of the nearest house, praying they didn't open their door anytime soon.

Watching the conversation unfold from a far, seeing the frustration on Carl's face already.

"Watcha watchin" a soft voice spoke.

Looking over at xavier, sitting down next me, a warm and welcoming smile on his face.

"Family drama" I giggled out, looking over at him.

"Like the apocalypse entertainment" he made a rainbow motion with his hands.

Laughing along with him before a silence entered.

"Do you think that we'll ever get rid of negan?" I spoke genuinely, asking xavier.

He made a frown type face, pulling his bottom lip down,
"Maybe in the future, he spoke in a higher tone "but the present isn't looking bright" he scratched his head while speaking.

Nodding with his apologetic sounding statement.

"I just want to keep bea and Judith safe" I told him, looking down at my shoes now, squishing them in the dirt and mini rocks.

He put his hand on my shoulder "we all want that, but things that aren't exactly what we want need to happen for our safety. He explained.

Shaking my shoulders, making me me laugh a little, "now cheer up, he's not here now at least" he perked up.

"Gotta go, your boyfriends coming back" he chuckled leaving me alone on the random porch.

Rolling my eyes at him but a growing smile on my lips that I was unaware of.

Not alone for much longer, Carl standing in front of me now, with an unhappy expression, his eyebrows furrowed and his shoulders tensed.

"What? You okay" asking him, my smile now fading.

He only nodded, "I just-" he tried to explain, losing his words.

"You don't have to tell me, its okay" I reassure.

Standing up next to him now, without thinking it through I put my hand out for him to grab, anxious about what his answer could be.

Him simply grabbing my hand without thought like it was an everyday thing.

Mindlessly walking around the the community we called home.

"We could go outside the walls" he excitedly said.

"The last time we were outside the walls we almost died Carl" I explained to him like he was insane.

He laughed "...yeah, but that was fun! exhilarating!" He giggled.

"Since when do you know the word exhilarating?" I question with a smile.

"I mean I always did.." he sounded offended.

Laughing along with him, taking in the happy moment in the worst world possible.

Coming to a stop when Rick, Daryl and Aaron carrying weapons and food we've saved up.

"Where are you going" I yelled, waving them down.

"Scouting for things, watch the children" Rick ordered, giving a thumbs up at his words.

Turning towards Carl explain which way we should go first and that was my house, picking bea up.

Bea asking multiple questions about what Aaron's teaching her with a makeshift school he decided to do.

Running into Quinn on the way back to the grimes house, telling her to come with us.

Her giving a thumbs up and yelling out "20 minutes" with a laugh.

Finally reaching the grimes house, throwing myself on the couch, bea finding a crayon and some paper that was laying out.

Carl putting Judith down for a nap was the next step, the house calm and quiet which was an unusual sound for this house specifically.

Almost falling asleep until the knock on the door interrupted my heavy eyelids, lazily walking over to the door, Quinn's face appearing with a bright smile.

"Enid should be coming in a couple minutes" she told me and now Carl coming down the steps.

Her walking past me, sitting on the ground next to bea, looking over her little drawing and illustrations.

Laying sideways on the couch taking the couch up with my legs, carl refusing to sit on the other couch alone, lifting my legs up and placing them back down on his lap, playing with my lifting shoe ties.

With mindless conversations going on to whoever would listen.

Two hard knocks coming from outside the door, Carl and Quinn too stuck in conversation to hear anything.

Sliding my legs off Carl and the couch, regaining my balance while standing up, almost tripping to the door hence my untied shoelace thanks to Carl.

Not caring in the moment, opening the door expecting enid, but quickly being mistaken.

"What. The. Fuck." I whispered.

"Nice to see you again isn't it" his rough voice joked.
