The Moment I Knew. // Chandler Riggs Fanfiction.

Chapter 12

I woke up somewhere in the middle of the night, my head was laying on Chandler's chest I heard his heart beating, then I watched him sleep until I fell asleep again. I heard Chandler's alarm, we both woke up.
"Another day on the set." Chandler said.
"Another day with you." I said. Chandler looked at me and kissed me.
"I love spending my days with you it feels like they have no end." He said.
"I love spending my time with you because every second is worth it." I said.
"Okay let's get dressed." I said with a little smirk.
Chandler got dressed, we walked downstairs and ate our breakfast. After that we went to my place and then I got dressed very fast. I pot on a white Tee with 'i speak fluent sarcasm' on it, the same boyfriend jeans I wore yesterday a blue flannel, and this time I didn't wrap it around my waist, some black converse and some accessories. I ran downstairs filled my bottle with water and then walked back to the car.
"Done." I said.
"7 minutes, not bad." Chandler said.
"Were you timing me?" I asked.
"Yea." He said, I gave him a little push and we drove away.
When we arrived, I walked to my trailer and got dressed. Then I walked to Chandler's trailer, I banged on the door.
"You ready?" I asked.
He opened the door and pulled me inside.
"Why so happy?" I asked.
"There might be a new romance between Carl and Noa." He said.
"Well, I am glad we don't hate each other." I said and then gave him a kiss.
"Lets go to make up." He said.
We walked out of the trailer and we headed to hair and make up.
After 15 minutes of hair and make up we went to the table, for the script reading. Robert Kirkman came to me he wanted to talk to me.
"We are having a scene with a bonfire and everyone is making music and stuff, and then people ask if you know a song and that song has to kinda go about Noa's 4 year old brother who died before this started." He said.
"The question is can you write a song about that? A heart breaking experience." He asked.
"Yea I'll try my best. When does it have to be finished?" I asked.
"In 3 hours, you can skip the script reading and go with your script to your trailer." He said.
"Okay." I said and told Chan what I was up to be doing. I went to my trailer and did research of parents and their experience of losing their child, it broke my heart losing a child that just entered life, it's horrible. I cried probably for 3 hours straight. But I finished the song, I don't wanna name it, because it's hard to make up a name for a song this emotional but I've called it Unforgotten. I read my script. Then I went to Robert to let him hear the song, the other couldn't hear it because we wanted real first reactions. The song was approved. I went to the set and we started filming.
SCENE:
I sat outside the house on the porch, Carl came sitting next to me.
"So where were you before all of this actually started?" I asked.
"I was in the hospital my father had been shot, he was a cop." He answered.
"Where were you?" He asked.
"At a funeral." Answered.
"From who?" He asked. I broke down in tears.
"My 4 year old brother, Liam. He died of cancer." I answered.
"That is horrible." He said.
"Yea at the funeral, my mom got bitten and my father and brother ran somewhere I didn't where where they were if they were alive, so I always kept thinking that it was better for me to bury my memories of them with Liam." I said.
"So you basically don't know if you have any family left?" He asked.
"No." I said.
"Well tonight we are having a bonfire, you can come and join our family, we all might not be related but we care about each other, that is important now." He said.
"I'll come." I said. Carl walked away and I walked inside.
End scene 1.
SCENE 2:
I went to the bonfire, when I came there everyone was so happy and they were all making music, I sat down next to Maggie and we were just having fun.
"So Noa do you play guitar?" Glenn asked me while looking at the guitar.
"Yea I do." I answered.
"Play the last song you've heard before this began." He said. I grabbed the guitar.
I cleared my throat.
"This one is for my little brother Liam." I said with a little smile at his name.

I remember your bare feet
down the hallway
I remember your little laugh.
Race cars on the kitchen floor
plastic dinosaurs.
I love you to the moon and back.

I remember your blue eyes
looking into mine
like we had our own secret club.
I remember you dancing
before bedtime
then jumping on me waking me up.

I can still feel you hold my hand
little man
and even the moment I knew.
You fought it hard like an army guy
remember I
leaned in and whispered to you.

Come on baby with me
we're gonna fly away
from here.
You where my best four years.

I remember the drive home
when the blind hope
turned to crying and screaming why.
Flowers pile up in the worst way
no one knows what to say
about a beautiful boy who died.

And it's about to be halloween
you could be anything
you wanted if you were still here.
I remember the last day
when I kissed your face
and whispered in your ear.

Come on baby with me
we're gonna fly away...
from here.
Out of this curtained room
and this hospital gray
we'll just disappear...
Come on baby with me
we're gonna fly away
from here.
You were my best four years.

What if i'm standing in you closet.. Trying to talk to you?
What if I kept the hand-me-downs.. You won't grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle.. Would see us through?
What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you?
(*I take a deep breath it is shaking*)
Come on baby with me
we're gonna fly away
from here.....
Come on baby with me
we're gonna fly away
from here.
You were my best four years.

I remember your bare feet
down the hallway.
I love you to the moon and back.

I finished playing, everyone had tears rolling down their face.
"This was the last song I've heard before all of this started."  I gave the guitar back to Glenn. I saw one guy walking from behind, I couldn't see his face yet.
"Who played that song?" He asked his voice sounded so familiar, everyone looked at me, I stood up, I took a little closer look at his face. I broke down in tears...
"Josh?! Is that really you?!" I asked. He ran me and gave me an inescapable hug.
"I can't believe you are still alive." He whispered in my ear.
"Me neither." I whispered back.
We let go of each other, Carl kinda looked jealous.
"How do you know each other?" Rick asked.
"Josh... Is my brother." I answered.
Everyone looked shocked and happy.
"We lost each other at our little brothers funeral." He said.
We walked back to the house where I live to talk about what has happened.
"So mom?" He asked.
"She got bitten at the funeral, and dad?" I asked.
"We joined a group, but we found out that they stole things from people and they would kill those people, and one day someone attacked the group, I got away because dad protected me from a dozen of walkers." He answered.
I looked in shock.
"He might've gotten away, but the others did not." He said.
"Josh..." I said.
"Yea?" He asked.
"I... I think I killed that group..." I said.
"You did?" He asked.
"Yea it was sick what they did so I attacked them, but someone ran away from the walkers and I think that might've been dad now you were talking about it." I said. We looked each other hopefully in the eyes.
"So he might be alive?" He asked.
"That or I've killed him." I said.
"I am tired, is it good that we talk tomorrow again?" I asked.
"Yea sure, sleep well." He said.
"Bye." I said.
5 minutes later Carl came in.
"Hi." I said.
"Hey, so that was kinda a miracle, wasn't it?" He asked.
"It was, but you gave me the hope of having family in here, so I owe you basically😂" I said.
We looked each other in the eyes, then we kissed.
"You don't owe me nothing." He said and then he walked upstairs. When I lay down I said to myself. 'can this place get any more magical?' And then I went to sleep.
END SCENE 2.
I finished filming, I had no more scenes for the rest of the day but others
At the end of the scene a few people came to me and they told me my song just kinda hit them like a bomb in the face, like it was the most emotional song they've ever heard. I went to my trailer and waited for my mom to pick me up. When she came I got into the car and we drove home.
"How was filming?" My mom asked.
"Fine I had to write a song about childhood cancer in 3 hours that was intense." I said.
"Wow, when can I hear it?" She asked.
"Probably when the show comes on." I answered.
"Well how is everything going with Chandler?" She asked.
"Good, I think our characters are starting to have something too so that makes it easier." I answered.
After half an hour we were home we first got some fast food. I walked upstairs, laid down in my bed and thought about all what has happened today. Pretty intense after a few minutes I fell asleep.
