Lexi's POV

I woke up with the memories of yesterday. Butterflies went off in my stomach and I stood up and closed the curtain in the cell. Beth was gone so I decided to change. I put on some skinny jeans and a black tank top. I laced up my combat boots and put my hair in a side braid.

I walked out the door just as carl walking in.

" Morning." He said and placed a kiss on my forehead. I blushed as he pulled away.

" Morning, so what are we doing today?" I asked and he laced his fingers with mine as we walked to the chalk on the wall.

Lexi: in library with kids

Carl: same as Lexi

" Well it looks like it's destiny." I laughed and Daryl walked past us. He pulled out hands away and pulled me into a random cell.

" What was that?" He asked and looked down at me.

" What I can't like a boy!?! Your not my dad.." I yelled and regretted it.

" I'm sorry lex, it's just I don't want you getting hurt. But I guess I trust you and carl, just... Be careful." I smiled and hugged him.

" I promise."

After mine and Daryl's little talk I went to the library and found carl passing out papers and crayons.

" What are we doing?" I asked and stop next to him.

" Whatever we want, drawing, writing.." He said and have me a piece of paper. I giggled and sat down. I got a pen and started to draw a flower.

" Wow, your really good." Carl said and sat next to me.

" Thanks.." I said. I used to draw as a kid but stopped when dad started to beat me. He would always say to give up because I'll get nowhere in like drawing.

I glanced over at Carl's paper and he was writing a paragraph.

" What's that?" I asked and he covered it up.

" You'll have to wait and see." He said and smirked. I rolled my eyes and finished drawing my picture.

When everyone was done I found tape and we taped the drawings on a wall.

" Hey I have to go talk to my dad, can you meet me at the north corner of gate in an hour?" Carl asked me and I nodded. He left and Carol walked in to take over my shift on the kids while i take a break.

  I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a granola bar and sat down.

" Hey Lexi." Michonne said and came and sat across from me. I waved and ate the rest of my food.

" Wanna come on a run with us in about an hour?" She asked.

" Yeah sure!"

" Okay meet up at the gate."i nodded and went to go meet carl.

When I got the the corner he wasn't there yet. I was about 15 minutes early but... Who cares!

  I sat on a rock and looked up at the sky. It was beautiful. I never really pain attention to it much.

" Hey." Carl broke my silence and sat next to me. I smiled and he handed me the paper he was writing on.

" Read it." I nodded and opened it.

Dear Lexi,

  I was to nervous to tell you all this in person so I decided to write it. I know... Stupid. But I just wanted you to know; your beautiful in every single way, I love your smile, eyes, hair, body, lips, everything. I don't know what I'd do if you never came here. I'd probably be depressed beyond what happy to my mom still. You helped me get through the hardest time on my life, even when it happened a month ago. When your not with me the sun don't shine as bright as it does when you are with me. I think I'm in love with you. No, I am in love with you. And I know that in a sucky world like this you'd think love can't work out, but I believe we can make it work. So what I'm trying to write is... Lexi will you be my girlfriend?

I looked over at carl and smiled. I dropped the paper and smashed my lips to his. He jumped a little before placing his hands on my hips and kissing back.

" Yes." I whispered as we pulled away and he laughed.

" Lexi you ready to go?" Michonne yelled.

" I'll be back later." I told him and kissed him. He smiled as I walked over to the car and got in.
