Stay With Me

***Amie's POV***
I can't believe Carl got this for me! Well technically Glenn got it, but it's from Carl, so I still love it. I love him so much. I need to repay him.
"Hey Carl."
"Yeah?"
"Can we talk?"
"Yeah sure. What about?"
"Us. Life before this. What it was like."
"Okay. You first?"
"Yeah. I never really told anyone this before. But when I was 10, my parents told me I was adopted. I was kind of happy, but only because it was reassurance that these peoe that hated me so much weren't my real parents. Real parents couldn't have that kind of attitude towards their child. I didn't have any friends. I didn't listen to the right music or wear the right clothes or say the right things. All through middle school I was picked on for everything. My parents sent me to a summer camp so they wouldn't have to deal with me. The only thing they cared about was their little girl. Not me. The miracle baby they had that want supposed to happen. That's the reason they adopted me. They wanted a baby, bit they couldn't have one. I wasn't what they wanted, and they kept trying for another kid, even though the doctors said it was impossible. Then, nine months later, they got what they wanted. They abandoned me. They didn't care about me. I got to the point where I was so depressed I wouldn't talk to anyone. They gave me electronics and movies and everything else a normal kid would want, trying to get me to be like one of their commercial kids in their commercial families. I started self harming when I was 11 years 7 months 25 days old. I attempted suicide 3 times before I turned 12. My parents just signed papers and payed bills to try to keep their commercial family. Then this happened. And I was finally happy. I never had been before. I didn't have everyone judging me for what I wore and what kind of music I listened to. It was nice. I was finally free. Something bad or sad would happen and I would do it again. I regretted it every time. But on the other hand, I felt a sense of relief. It was like I was replacing my big pain with another one, one that was more noticeable. I would do it every so often. I even did it when I lost my friend, Emily. She meant the world to me. I was devastated. Then I found you guys. I didn't like you at first. But, then again, yiu did try to make me leave because of a joke. So I had a legitamite reason. And that's me." He looked a little amazed. "Okay. Wow. I find that hard to believe. I guess that makes it my turn. My parents were married at 18, right after they found out about me. My mother was freaking out, mainly because she wanted to go to college and have a good career. She barely even knew my dad, but she fell in love with him after a while. When I was born, my dad got a job on the police force. My mom was always worried sick about him, especially when there was stuff on the news. A month before the apocalypse, he was shot in a chase. He was in a coma, and there were SWAT teams in the hospital, putting everyone down. Shane was in there and he unplugged him so they wouldn't put him down. He woke up a couple weeks later, and started wandering around. Some guy named Morgan found him, then Glenn found him. He came back, and my mom freaked. It was really weird. Then I got shot, and we came here. Then you showed up. And now everything is perfect. Well, almost perfect. There are still monsters trying to eat us everywhere. But other than that, I couldn't ask for a better life. I love you. I love you more than I could ever scream.'
"Oh my god! You never told me you listened to Black Veil Brides! Carl! Really?"
He blushed. It was adorable. "Yeah. Another guilty pleasure that I caught crap for."
I kissed him. Not just a gentle peck, either. I went all out. He wasn't protesting. We rolled over in the straw and kissed even more roughly. He was pulling my tank top off, and I was removing his T shirt. He moved his hands over my body, making me shiver. I wrapped my legs around his waist. He grabbed my butt, pulling my body in to his. "Dinner!" We heard Maggie calling everyone inside.
"Damn. It was just getting good too!" I made Carl giggle, which is the most adorable thing in the world. We disentangled from each other, which took forever and caused us both to fall in the straw. We both pulled on our shirts.
"We need to tell them. We can't keep hiding it. They'll find out."
"What about my mother? She can't know!"
"Better everyone knows because we told them than everyone knows because someone blabbed! They would have to find out eventually. Besides, then we wouldn't have to sneak off to the barn to do anything."
"This is true. Okay. We need to go before they get suspicious. C'mon." We climbed down to the small door of the barn and walked to the house.

I just realized how evil I was in my last chapter. I went through and read it and was like "wow I am an evil person." Sorry I haven't updated for a couple days, but I was in Texas for a wedding. I did work on this the other night and my dad was like "how much did you get done?" And I was like "300 and some words." He was like "holy crap! Is there any more colorful language?" And I got really pissed off because he read my other one and it had a bunch of profanity and shit in it and so I lied and told him no, even though this one is even dirtier than the other one. I changed the cover and I really like it. I didn't like the old one. PicsArt is like the best photo app ever. Other than retrica. That one is really good. I'm just blathering on... Its like 2 in the morning. I should sleep. But I don't want to. My phone's almost dead tho. So I'm gonna shut up now. Comment and vote. If anyone can name 2 George strait songs referencing Texas they will become a character and get a chapter dedicated to them. I think I'm gonna do more stuff like this. So comment and vote!
