Your Not Alone

Chapter 4- Sparks

As Carl and I approached the guard tower Maggie and Glenn were just leaving.

"Been a pretty quiet day" Glenn says as he hands Carl the sniper.

Carl nods and then him and I head up the stairs. it was dusk. it was so beautiful outside. I never seen the sun set ever since this happened.

Dad made this 6 pm curfew.

"Hey, Carl?" I called as I approach the edge, and sit.

"Yeah?" he asks.

"How long have you been out there before here?" I ask not breaking my gaze I had on the sun set.

"About a year. then we found Hershel" he chuckles.

"What's so funny?" I ask

"We only met up with Hershel because one of his guys accidentally shot me" he says sitting down next to me.

"You were shot to?" I ask.

"You've been shot before?" he asks.

"No, not me. Lucas. He was trying to run from walkers. he got cornered I thought I could
Make the shot; be a hero. but I shot him in the gut. He was in a coma for three months." I say breaking my gaze and looking at Carl.

"It happens" he says, he grabs my hand, jolts of electricity course threw my body.

"I- um there a walker" I point, there was one about 100 feet away from us.

Carl was so cute. I just don't want to start something that can only end horribly .

Carl looks threw the scope and fires at the target and gets it between the eyes.

"After my mom died, in a car accident a year before the dead came alive. My dad was different. more distant, Luke and I had to raise Penny for a bit, until he came back from wherever he went and then it happened. My dad was never In a good place before this all started." I explain.

"I had to shoot my mom" Carl explains.

"She had Judy and she just died..." I look to the ground feeling sorry.

"Carl I am truly sorry" I put my hand on his shoulder and give him a small smile.

He then leaned in closer and closer until there was no more room to fill, then we were kissing me and Carl KISSING.

I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and greatness. then it stopped, he stopped.

"I'm sorry" he says.

"It's nothing," I shake off.

Then Lukas and Daryl walked in for there shift.

Then Carl
And I walked back inside for dinner and we didnt talk about what happened am
Hour before we just sat and ate out food.
