A Long Way From Home//Carl Grimes

Chapter 6 - Surprises

In front of me, I see Carl and Becca. She leans in and kisses him. This seems like every cheesy, romance movie I've ever seen. You know, the one where the guy claims to love the girl, but then a better one swoops in and they fall in love instead? Yeah, that one.
"You're such a liar."
I spit it out like it's something disgusting.
"Cassie wait!"
I run as fast as I can. How could I believe that he actually liked me? Some stupid boy that I just met. This is crazy. I go to the cafeteria and sit down next to Daryl. I try to hold back my tears. Carl sits down across from me and looks at me, but I refuse to look at him. Becca walks behind me and whispers something.
"I took him from you just like I took the last ones. You mad?"
She gave me a devilish smirk and I snapped.
"You know what Becca? Yeah. I am mad. Because you take everything from me. You can have Carl if that's what you want. I'm not dating him. He's yours."
I storm out of the cafeteria. I really have to stop doing that.

*Carl's pov*

Becca kissed me and I pushed her away instantly. Cassie freaked out and ran. I tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't listen. Becca must have said something to her and she flipped. Daryl came running up to me.
"What did you do to the girl?!"
He screamed it in my face. I just stood there like a coward. I didn't do anything! Doesn't she get that? Why the heck would I kiss Becca? I was about to run after her but my dad stopped me.
"Just let her cool down. You've done enough damage."

*Cassie's pov*

I ran outside the gates. I know I'm not supposed to, but I was just so angry. I was out there for a while and it was still pretty early in the morning. While I was out there I ran into Hershel and Michonne. They were burning walker bodies. At least there's something to help me get my mind off things.
"Cassie? Everyone's been looking for you!"
Michonne comes over and hugs me. I don't talk to her much, but she still is very friendly. They burned the rest of the bodies and we were about to head back when suddenly, the governor comes out of the woods and hits Michonne with his gun. She falls to the ground and before I can grab my knife, he points a gun at Hershel and I. The last thing I remember is seeing more of his men come out of the woods.

I wake up and I'm in a car. We're driving towards the prison.
"Carl?"
I asked that without thinking of where I actually was. The car screeches to a halt and the governor gets out. My head feels cloudy. My eyesight is blurry and full of black spots. I can feel, what I guess is blood, drip down the side of my face. Great. I can see Rick walk up to talk to the governor. I try and get up, but my head hurts like heck. My hands are tied behind my back. Suddenly, a man comes and drags me out of the car. I can feel pain in every inch of my body.
"You guys know Cassie. Right?"
The governor smirks after he says that. God. That smile makes me sick. He makes me kneel down next to Michonne and Hershel. I look at the prison and I spot Carl. He has his gun pointed at the governor. All of the rest of their conversation is a blur. I wasn't listening. I couldn't stop looking at Carl. I felt anger and sadness bubble up inside me all at once. I hear the governor say something and then I see Michonne's katana slash into Hershel neck.
