Chapter 19

3rd Person POV;

(Y/N) woke up three days later and said goodbye to her dad and that she'll see him again soon, she apologised for scaring everyone but agreed when everyone said that they wanted to rest here for a few more days, after the first day past you were already moving about but with support, Carol helped you change into new clothes and if they ever needed you they could find you laying on a car outside out jumping on one of the intact beds in the bed isle, although now that it was dark outside you were walking around with Carl, you couldn't sleep so you went outside to keep Carl company, you spoke about many things and felt a strong bond building between you, just being near Carl makes you happy and safe, is it love? Doesn't matter for now so you'll push the feelings aside, reaching into your bag you pulled out your flashlight and shined it at the floor, walls and trees, then back to floor, Carl walked ahead knowing you can't walk as fast as he was so you looked around more, when you turned the corner a walker leaned over you "rawr" you heard Carl's voice, you puffed out your cheeks in embarrassment, then tainted a light pink "Carl that's not funny!" "You should've seen your face" he laughed as he dropped the walker "you were like 'OH GOD' with bug eyes" he replied, laughing quietly and you lightly punched his arm "not. Funny" you mumbled and shined your flashlight at him "Hm.. You still have a baby face" he looked shocked "I do not" "you do" you grinned as you started walking away "(y/n) I do not have a baby face!" "You do" you turned the corner and waved at Rick "Rick, doesn't Carl have a baby face?" You asked running up to him to get the answer before Carl could stop him "course he does" "HA!" "I do not have a baby face.." "You probably do without all the blood and dirt on your face.. Man, I wish we had enough water to waste on a water fight with water guns" you smiled "those were the days.." "Yeah" "you kids head inside, I got watch now" you both nodded and walked inside, passing Michonne you gave her a quick side hug before fully walking inside and walking to the book isle with Carl to make a fire to heat up the place, getting damaged books and ripping the pages out then placing them in a trash can with twigs you got matches out of your pocket, pulling one out you lifted the back of your foot up and scrapping the tip along your boot, lighting the match and lighting a scrunched up piece of paper then placing it in the bin with the match and sitting down by the bin, telling scary stories when more people gathered around, you and Carl both made up some good stories and all the stories made everyone forget about the world around them.. A small moment of peace before a long road ahead, to a promised sanctuary.. The journal to Alexandria will be a long one
