FILLER CHAPTER
<<<MAX POV>>>

Carl's been up for about a week now, Hershal gave him the okay to move around. Faith and I have been watching Lillian and Melissa more often due to Ethan not entirely caring about his younger sisters. Willow has been talking to me more, telling me about her past and I've been telling her about mine. She's nice, Daryl was shot by Andrea a week ago he's alive though. Oh yeah and Lori is pregnant. I found out by eavesdropping on her and Glenn talking and I've promised not to tell. Lori has calmed down some and is okay to be around now.

  I walk out of my tent and sit on the log by the fire. Carl walks over and stands infront of me. "you alright?" He sits down. "I stole a gun" I smirk "you know your mom doesn't want you to have one right?" He nods and pulls up his shirt showing me the gun "want to protect myself." I shrug "reasonable, just don't get caught." He stands up and walks over to Shane, Faith walks over Melissa in her arms and Lilian by her side. "Take the baby Lily and I are going to play hide and seak with Rayia, Dexter, Kai and Ethan. Oh and check on your sister she's on house watch still." I nod and stand up picking Melissa up from Faith, I sit back down on the bench holding Melissa on my knee. Faith runs away Lilian following behind her.

   I turn around to hear Lori, Rick and Shane in a circle Carl at a picnic table. I stand up and walk over to them lucky behind me. "You guys okay?" Lori looks down at me "did you know?" Okay she's mad, mad. "Tht Carl had a gun? Yeah." She glares at me "and you didn't tell me?" I shrug "not a snitch and he's my bestfriend. If he was being dumb with it I would've but he wasn't. He just wants to protect everyone." I look back to Carl on the picnic table facing the trees alone. "He wanted mw to teach him to shoot. I have no problem doing it just will yalls permission" I look back and to Shane "your actually doing the training?" Rick nods and him and Lori start arguing "he's not mature enough"  Carl stands up walking over "I want to protect you and the camp. I can't do that without a gun." I walk over to him and stand by his side. "I carry and so does Remi and Faith who are both months younger than Carl. He's plenty mature. And I'm only a year older than him." Rick looks at Lori "Shane is the best instructor I know" Rick looks to Shane and back to Lori.

  Lori walks to Carl and puts her hand cupping his chin. "Your going to take this seriously. Understand?" He nods "he won't let you down" Rick looks at them "yeah." Lori let's go of Carl and walks away. "Can I go aswell? To train I mean." Rick looks to Shane who nods then me "ask Daryl." I nod and walk over to Daryls tent. "Hey daryl? can I go do gun training with Shane and Carl?" I peer my head into the tent and he nods. "Be safe alright? Don't be stupid focus." I nod "thanks, Dad" my eyes widen as I say dad. "I mean uh Daryl. I said Daryl."  "it's alright kid." I nod "can you watch Melissa for me?" Daryl sits up and motions for me to hand her to him. I walk over and give Melissa to him. "She ate an hour ago and was changed 30 minutes ago." Daryl looks down at Melissa and I walk out.

  "Ready?" I walk to the car Shane is getting into and i sit in the back with Carl,  rick in the passenger seat. I feel a gaze at me and I look up from my lap to Carl staring at my head, "need something?" He shakes his head and looks out his window. Odd. Shane starts the car and we drive to a field set up with glass bottles and fences. Shane pulls up and stops the car, I get out and take my gun from its holster.

  Shane got everyone set up and pointed at th targets. I turn the safety off my gun and point it at a bottle shooting and hitting it spot on. I continue shooting a couple more hitting them everytime. This is boring. I sit down on the grass and watch Carl, "your aim is off." Carl looks over to me "It's not that easy, and why aren't you shooting?" I stand up putting my gun in the holster, then walk over to Carl. "Was bored of hitting them everytime." Carl rolls his eyes "aim again I'll fix it" he aims it to the glass bottle. I walk behind him and fix it "when you aim try going three inches to the right, even if you think it's perfect." I step back and he shoots the bottle it exploding. "That's if it's a moving target witch will almost always be the case." He nods and aims again, I fix it and he shoots it again.

  After three hours we finished shooting and all packed into cars. "Max you been to a shooting range before?" I look up at Shane and nod "my grandpa brought me on weekends he'd take care of me and Remi." He looks back at me then the road "your a good shot I must say." I look out the window "thanks" we pulled into the farm and Shane parks the car. I get out along with Carl and we walk over to Daryl's tent. I peer my head in and Daryl looks up at me, Melissa asleep on his chest. "Want me to take her?" He shakes his head "your all good go have fun." I nod "thanks dad" Carl looks at me and I freeze. Not again. "I said Daryl." Carl smirks and walks away, I follow after him.

  Its been a few hours of hanging our woth Faith and Carl, Ethan took Lilian awhile ago so Faith could have a break. "So Carl how's your side?" I look over to Faith "sore but not as bad" she nods "it's almost night" Carl looks at the sunset "yeah it Is" both of them look at me "want to help Carol make dinner? She always does with no help" I nod "yeah let's go" we all stand up and walk over to Carol who's by the fire. "Can wr help make dinner?" Carol turns around "oh sure, I'm making steak, carrots and beans. Carl can you get the carrots? Faith you get the beans and steak I have to talk with Max." Carl and Faith nod and run off to the Rv to grab the food.

"Max, I need you to eat more. Your eating less and then giving it to lucky, don't think I didn't notice." I look down at my boots "not hungry ever" I can feel her glare at me "your lying to me." I look up at Carol "every time I eat I throw up" she sighs "that's from not eating enough in your past. You need constant meals to break it." I nod "and try to eat more every time okay?" I nod again and grab a pan handing it to Carol. "Know how to cook steak?" I nod and Carl and Faith run back with the sides.

  Carol gave me a smaller portion of food than everyone else so I wouldn't waste as much. I pick some of the meat up and eat it, after a quarter of the meal gone and feeling like vomiting I stop. Carol looks at my plate and nods, I set it on the ground letting lucky eat it. "Max you okay? You look sick." I look up at Glenn. "I'm fine." He nods and goes back to eating. I pick up the plate from the ground and put it in the dish bin with everyone else's. I go back to the log and sit down, shit I left Melissa with Daryl. "I'll be back going to give Daryl his plate." Carol hands me the plate, I take it and walk to Daryls tent.

  "Daryl? You awake?" I peer my head in and see him sitting up reading a book. "Brought you dinner and here to take Melissa." He nods and sits up Melissa laying on his legs. I hand him the plate and pick her up, I turn around and walk out of the tent "want it zipped up?" He nods "Night, Max" I look at Daryl "night Daryl." I zip up the tent and walk back to my tent lucky following behind me. I get to my tent and unzip it letting lucky in and getting in also.
"Hey Max." I look over at Carl "Sup." He shrugs. I sit on my sleeping bag setting Melissa between my legs. "You okay?" I glance up at him and back down reaching over grabbing Melissa's diaper bag "fine why?" I unzip the bag and pull out a bottle, water and formula. "You've been talking less with me." I pour the formula and water in the bottle and shake it up. "Sorry. I was busy with Melissa." And trying to keep this raging crush on you a secret from you.

  Carl lays down in his sleeping bag staring at the ceiling. I feed Melissa the bottle and clean we up with a wipe when she's done. I go to lay down but a figure shows up infront of the tent. "Max I'll take Melissa tonight alright?" Carol. I open the tent and hand her Melissa and her diaper bag with everything of hers in it. Carol takes it and walks to her tent with Dexter, Lilian and Ethan. "Are you and Willow dating?" I stop moving and look at Carl "No just friends. She's a lesbian i think" he nods I lay down in my sleeping bag. "Why?" He looks over then at the ceiling "just curious" I turn over and close my eyes falling asleep.
