Life In An Apocalypse

Chapter 14

Jane is acting like a Ex, even if she isn't one.... not the best song,but the best one I could think of..... Carl is the best boy she can't get. Really she is just grieving.... Her grieving may have got her in trouble with Nicole though...

Jane's POV 

I wish I could walk outside. I think all the kids would like too. Junior wanted to stay out and help  with runs and I decided to help Carl out with the kids. Carl randomly has gone some where and so I am helping the kids. Help as in playing, talking, or helping them dress. The younger ones still need help getting dressed and we put up the clothes and will give the kids a new set and take the old because we can't use a bunch of our water.

Carl's POV

I was looking around when I seen my dad. He asked why I was out here and gave us some supplies.

"Carl, I have something to tell you. I need you to pass it to Jane. Okay?"

" Yeah, Dad. So, what is it? What happen?"

"Carl, well Junior is... Junior is dead, Carl."

"Does Nicole know?"

"I told her before coming here."

"How is she handling it? Is she okay?"

"I don't know. I let her handle her grieving. I left her because I knew I could  not help her. Some one in there will, trust me. She looked pretty heartbroken."

"I need to go help her!"

"Carl, no! You could get sick! Just please go tell Jane and be safe."

Jane's POV

I am walking to my room and I get there and sit on my make-shift bed. Not five second's later there is a knock at my door.

"Come in!" I yell.

Carl comes in and I give him a smile, when he does not return it I match his frown..

"Jane, I got to tell you something"

He comes and sit's beside me on my bed.

"What is it, Carl?" I ask.

"Junior is dead,Jane."

He said this and I look at him to see if he was joking, I could tell he wasn't. I had some feeling for Junior... I liked him, but either way he was also like a brother. I look down at my feet. I then look up to see Carl looking at me with his eye's closed. I decided to try some thing. I lean in, my eye's still open, and pressed his lips to mine.As soon as our lips touch, Carl's eye's immediately open wide. He shoved me harshly away.

"What the h3ll, Jane? Why would you do that? I'm dating your best friend, who's brother just died! Not to mention is sick and could die any day herself!"

I look at the ground in shame.

"I have no clue why, I am so sorry, Carl! Please do not tell Nicole!"

"She deserves to know! I am not going to be the type of boyfriend that keeps secrets- especially thing like this!" He shouts at me, then storms off.

What have I done?

Carl's POV

I left the area and went where I could visit Nicole. I can't kiss her unless I want to kiss glass and that would not be the same. Nicole comes out and I know I have to tell her. her eye's are red- from cry for her brother no doubt! 

"Carl! I guess your dad told you what happen with Junior. I miss him so much!"

" Yeah, I heard about him. Nicole, I have to tell you something important."

"Yes, Carl?"

"Jane, she kissed me, but I pushed her right away! I swear!"

" I believe you, Carl. Thank you for being honest. I have to go now."

"I love you Nikki. I hope you get better soon.'

"I love you too, Carl."

With that I watched her leave, then not long after I heard her cries. I left to my room, knowing there was nothing I could do!
