Carl & I

Chapter Twenty Nine Friends

We arrived back at the farm house to find everything still the way we had left it. I sighed from relief and smiled as we approached the door.

"There are some extra rooms. You can have whatever you'd like." I smiled as I pointed towards the stairs.

They slowly climbed the stairs searching for their favorite room and I went back to mine. I need new clothing, mine is starting to not fit me. I walked towards the closet in the room and opened the door. It was still fully stocked and I searched until my eyes laid upon a maternity blouse. Instantly I found myself changing into it and admiring myself in the mirror.

I noticed a photo album under a bunch of jeans and pulled it out. I opened the photo album and looked at the once happy family. I missed my family. I wish my mother and father were still here. I felt a tear slide down my cheek and I didn't wipe it away.

"What are you going to name it?" Karlie asked.

Startled by her voice I jumped a bit and grabbed my chest.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." she walked towards the bed and sat on the end.

"It's fine, and I'm not sure honestly." I smiled as I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger.

"I love babies. I haven't seen once since before this happened." I saw a sudden sadness overcome her beautiful smile. "My sister was only 3 months old. I tried to save her from her crib, but my dad had already turned and he.. he.." tears filled her eyes and she choked on her words.

"It's okay, you don't have to finish." I patted her leg softly trying to reassure her.

"I feel like it's my fault. I should've killed my dad before he got to her, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't kill him." her head drooped and tears dropped onto her pants one by one.

I scooted closer to her on the bed and I wrapped my arms around her. She let loose and began to cry harder and harder.

Eventually the tears became less and less and she pulled back.

"I'm so happy we found you. I didn't know how much longer we would have survived out there." She gave me a grateful smile and hugged me again. I watched her stand up and leave my room.

I walked back down the stairs to rejoin the group and was greeted with a smile from Karlie and a hug from Carl.

Kyle was tall and muscular, he had dirty blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. He was appealing to my eyes but I can't focus on him, I'm with Carl.

Kaden was smaller than Kyle and his brown hair curled at the ends. His eyes are a dark brown and his skin is tan. He was attractive too.

Lena was small and didn't have much of a figure at all. Her hair is a bright red and her skin pale as a ghost. Freckles covered her face and took attention from her green eyes.

Karlie was beautiful in almost every way you could possibly imagine. Her hair fell to her butt and had lose curls. It was a dark brown. Her eyes were brown as well and her skin was tan. She is developed in many places that Lena isn't, and that I'm not. She has to be older.

Lucas was shorter than the other boys, but still taller than me. He had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. That was unusual for someone with brown hair. Something about him was odd.
