I'm a Dixon. ( Carl grimes fan fic)

Chapter 9. Working.

Lexi's POV

We think the governors coming soon so we are trying to work and gather all the crops, weapons, and food we can. I've been on garden duty for the past week and it's horrible. In the hot sun everyday.

  I picked the last piece of corn and picked up the heavy bucket and carried it in the prison. Carls been working on the gate, killing walkers, all day so I don't really get to talk to him.

  I walked into the storage room where we keep all the food and Maggie was in there with Carol, putting away food.

"Here's the last bit." I said as I dropped the bucket.

"Thanks Hun, why don't you take a break for a while." Carol told me and I smiled and left. I walked to mine and Beth's cell and she was laying on her bed writing in her book.

"Hey." I said  and she looked up at me and smiled. I walked over to my side of the cell and opened my drawers. I pulled out a American flag tank top and some shorts.

"I'm gonna go take a shower." I told her.

"You know there's a whole section in my book about you." She said and I stopped at the door.

"Really? What about me." I asked. She sat up and handed me her book.

  Today a new girl showed up at the prison. Her name is Lexi Dixon. She's Daryl 's sister. She's 15 and really sweet. We share a cell but we haven't talked much, but I can tell we will be really close. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She's really pretty and I can tell she'll be a good addition to the group.

August, 20

It's been a few days since Lexi came and we talked a few times. I can tell her and carl have a thing for each other but I don't think they know it yet. I can see the way they look at each other.

There was about five pages full of things about me. It was every other day until today.

September,7

  Carl and Lexi have been dating for about a week. Rick has them working separate jobs getting ready for the governor, that they don't get to talk the much. I really hope they last a long time to together because obviously their meant to be.
   These past few days me and Lexi has gotten close. We worked in the garden together for a few days and got to know each other more. She's a really sweet girl and I hope we stay friends for a long time. I even found her a

I guess she didn't finish writing so I have her back her book.

"You didn't finish?" I asked and she put her pen in the page she was in and set her book on a small table beside her bed.

"No because you walked in. But since you know I got you something I guess I'll give it to you." She said and and lifted up her pillow. She handed me a black sketchbook and I smiled.

"Thank you so much Beth." I said and hugged her.

"Your welcome. I know how much you love to draw so I went in The library and found it." She said and we pulled away. I smiled and sat it in my bed, grabbing my clothes and walked down the hall to the shower room.

  I turned on the shower and took my clothes off, putting them in my dirty clothes pile. In the shower room, we have names written on the wall in chalk and under our name is a basket we out our dirty clothes in.

I washed my dirty hair and body than got out. I grabbed my clean clothes and put them on. I walked back down the hall into our cell and put on my combat boots.

"So where's your dad?" I asked and she looked sad.

"Him and Michonne went on a run yesterday and never came back." She said and a tear slid down her face. I sat next to her and hugged her. She quietly sobbed in my my shoulder and I rubbed her back.

"I'm sure he's fine. He's a strong man and he had Michonne with him." I said and she nodded.

"Hey, do you mind braiding my hair?" I asked and she smiled and nodded again. I turned around and I can feel her braiding my hair.

"Done." She said and I got up and looked in the mirror. It was a long fishtail braid.

"Thanks." I said and she smiled.
