Us

Chapter 8

(I know it's been a long time since I've written, but I'll try to write more I promise.)

Why the hell did the apocalypse even have to happen? like what the hell. I would still have my parents, relatives; wherever the fuck they are, if they're still even alive. I just need someone, a friend. someone who I can speak to about my problems. not my sister though, were not that close.

we finally make it up the tower. I glance around up here are some guns; 3 snipers and a pistol. I honestly don't know why Carl brought me up here. did he plan something out? as soon as I turn around Carl's kneeling down.

" Enid, will you be my girlfriend?" Carl's says nervously.

" oh my god! Carl yes!"

I run into his arms and hug him tightly. and give him a small kiss on the cheek. we both look out the window and watch the sun set. this is the perfect moment.

"it's getting late now, want me to walk you to your cell?" Carl says

"sure, you don't have to though you look pretty tired."

"anything for you" he smiles

we walk back to the cells. Rick, Glenn, Maggie all stare at us while we walk by. Maggie winks at me and I start to giggle. before we reach my cell Carl pulls me aside and kisses me on the lips. I walk inside my cell and he leaves.

"where were you?" my sister Mia asks shocked.

" I was just hanging out with Carl"

" what did you guys do? where'd you go? is he more than a friend? sorry I'm asking way to many questions." Mia says

I begin to yawn.

" I'll tell you about it tomorrow, I'm too tired. Goodnight!"

" goodnight."

A cold breeze Wakes me up. I must've thrown off my blanket at night since its on the floor. I throw the blanket back on the fall asleep again.

I'm having a dream. a dream with Carl in it. We're in this house, trapped and surrounded by a couple dozen walkers. we only have a pistol for a weapon. there's nothing else. there's no chance of us both making it out alive, just one. I start crying. I give Carl the pistol but he gives me it back. he tells me to run, find the group. "I love you he says" before he jumps into the herd.

I wake up screaming, and crying. I must've woken everyone up. as soon as I open my eyes everyone's surrounding me. asking me what's wrong. I recognize a figure. it's Carl. he walks over and gives me a hug.

"Enid, are you okay?" he asks

"Yah. it was just a nightmare I guess. a horrible one" i say

everyone leaves the room to let us two be. so does my sister.

"can we talk about it? I mean if you want to." Carl stutters

"later okay? sorry I have to go to help your dad with something" I say

Carl leaves the room. I begin digging in my drawer and pull out a somewhat clean pair of clothing. I slip my shoes and walk out of the cell.
I hear some faint screaming.

"STAY INSIDE EVERYONE!" Rick yells as it echoes down the empty block

I'm panicking now. I don't know what's going on and I don't know where Carl is. NO CARL, I need to find him, but I need to listen to Rick.

I run into my cell grab my bag and a couple of soup cans from my drawer,I put my knife in its holder and my pistol in its holster.

"i gotta go, I gotta go find him, carl." I whisper

I run down the halls. all I can hear is gun shots, moans and screams. fuck this is terrifying. Rick said to stay inside so I will. as anxious as I am to look outside I can't, I just can't. I might see something that I don't want to see, like one of the group members getting eaten alive, finding Carl dead, or even getting shot myself.

the only people I see in block a are michonne, Daryl and Hershel. I run to them

"Have you seen Carl anywhere?! please please please tell me you have. I need to know if he's alive. what is going on?! is everyone okay?! are we being attacked?! does this have something to do with that governor guy that you guys were talking about?!" I yell in terror.

"Yes he's around the corner, were not sure about how the others are doing out there, yes it's the governor." michonne says

i peak around the corner and see Carl there. I drop to the floor.
