Your Not Alone

Chapter 5- Trouble

We finished eating and Rick stormed in.

"Your father wants to talk tomorrow afternoon" Rick says as he hands me a piece of paper.

"I have no clue why" I shake my head. I honestly didn't Dad never shared anything with me. Strictly need to know that kinda stuff.

"Hershel and Daryl will join me." He says looking at Hershel.

Then Lucas and Daryl walked in.

"Someone mention me?" Daryl asked grabbing a bowl of rice and squirrel.

"We are meeting up with the Governor tomorrow afternoon" He tells Daryl.

Daryl nods and shoves food into his mouth.

"I want to go with you" Lucas announced

"No. Luke are you insane?! Dad will kill you, both of us!" I butt in.

"Lauren I HAVE to do this" He looks at me.

"Luke please. I know your angry I am too but that doesn't mean we get to be risky." I look at him in the eyes.

He looks to the ground and begins to cry. I pull him into a hug and he sobs.

"He killed Penny" he kept repeating.

I began to tear up. He did kill Penny, and now Luke an I maybe next.

Beth walked Lucas back to his cell after he calmed down and I headed to mine also.

I grabbed my bag from the top bunk and took out a family photo.

It was a picture of me and Lucas when we were four with mom and dad. While mom was pregnant with Penny.

I sat down against the wall and stared at the photo. I began to break down.

I want my family back, I want Penny, A sane dad and my mom to be able to hold me again.

I sigh, knowing everything I want will never happen.

"Lauren?" It was Carl.

I sniffle and stand.

Carl takes the photo from my hands and looks at it.

"Lauren I'm so sorry" he says pulling me into a warm embrace.

I loose it once again. I cry into his shoulder and he comforts me.

"Carl. thank you for that" I smile as I let go and back up.

"I'm always here, if you need anything" he smiles.

"Are we not going to talk about the guard tower?" I ask.

He smiles even bigger.

"Did that mean anything to you, at all?" I ask.

He nodded. He came in closer, looked at my Lips then my eyes and then my lips again.

He then smashed his lips onto mine.

It was even better then the first time.

I think I'm falling for Carl. Even though I just met him yesterday.
