My life in the apocalypse

Chapter 35

*Roxie's p.o.v.*

I woke up cuddled next to Carl. I can't believe we're married. Last night was the best night ever. I get out of bed carefully so I won't wake up Carl.

I go to the bathroom and brush my hair and teeth. I very thankful that we have running water again. I pull my hair into a fishtail braid and walk back to the bedroom to see Carl awake and putting his shoes on. "Good morning babe." I say to him and hug him from behind.

"Good morning Mrs. Grimes." He says and turns around. I smile at what he called me. That's what I am now. A Grimes. I like it.

Of course I'll always be a Dixon because no one can take away how I act. He gives me a quick peck on the lips before walking out to the bathroom. I follow him and sit on the counter.

"So, Deanna wants us to go out with a group and look for more supplies." He says after brushing his teeth. I nod and jump off the the counter.

I walk back to the room and slip on my shoes. I walk downstairs to see Carl waiting by the door with a smile on his face. "What are you thinking about?" I ask walking up to him.

"You." He says and smiles down at me. He is much taller than me now than when we were at the prison, so when we talk he literally looks down at me.

I blush and look down but he lifts my chin with his index finger. "Don't hide that beautiful face from me." He says which makes me blush more of course.

He grabs my hand and we walk outside. We see Enid and she gives us a dirty look but then sees my ring and glares daggers at us. We just keep walking over to the cars that we are going to be riding in for the run.

When we get to the car we are given our weapons. It's nice to hold my crossbow again. We are also given bags to put supplies in. We hop in the back of the van and close the doors. The group is: me, Carl, Glenn, Rosita, dad, and Tara. It's nice that everyone is from our group or else I wouldn't know what to talk about and it would just be awkward.

We finally got to the store to get supplies. "Ok, Daryl with Roxie, Carl with Tara, and I'll go with Rosita." Glenn says. We all nod and get with our partners.

"Be safe." I say to Carl and hug him. He hugs back and says, "You too." He gives me a little peck on the lips and we separate.

Me and dad enter the store and look around. "Ok, we were told to get the batteries and water." Dad says. "Ok." I reply. We go to the batteries first and grab all that they have left. We then head to the water.

*Carl's p.o.v.*

Me and Tara head over to get food and clothes. "I'm really happy for you and Roxie." She says and smiles at me. "Thanks. I really love her. With the amount of times I screwed up, it surprises me that she still gave me a second chance." I say and look down, ashamed of what I've done to her.

"Dude, she gave you a second chance. She loves you and I can see it. If she didn't she wouldn't have married you. And plus, everyone screws up sometimes but you just gotta move on from it. Who keeps tabs on stupid mistakes?" She says. She has a point.

"Thanks, Tara." I say. "No problem she replies. We find the food and stock up on canned foods and foods that don't look expired.

We then hear and ear piercing scream. We sprint towards the sound. What if it's Roxie? That makes me sprint harder. We find the person and it is Roxie. There are three walkers on top of her. Daryl shoots one of them with his crossbow and stabs the other one. The last one tries to bite down on her neck and I see her try to move her hands but they are pinned down by the walkers weight. I instantly shoot it and it falls limp on top of her.

I run to her and throw it off. She jumps up and hugs me. "I almost died she whispers and starts to cry. "But you didn't. You're still here and your fine." I whisper back. She pulls away and runs to her dad. They hug and he holds her tight so she can cry.

Glenn and Rosita run over and ask what happened. I tell them and they are happy that she's ok. "Holy shit." Tara whispers. We turn to see what she's looking at and see a herd of walkers coming towards us.

"Quick, get to the car!" Glenn whisper yells. We run to the car outside and quickly get in.

*Roxie's p.o.v.*

I almost died. Again. It keeps running through my head. My head is leaning in Carl's shoulder. I really don't know what would happen if I did die. I don't want to think about it. I just close my eyes and wait for sleep to engulf me.

I wake up a few hours later I wake up to Carl shaking me because we are back to Alexandrea. I walk to the house and immediately go to me and Carl's room.

Carl walks in. "Hey." He says. I don't say anything back. "I know your still scared but I want you to know I will never let anything hurt you." He says and stands in front of me. We then get in bed and just cuddle for the rest of the day.
