Chapter 22 Jakob

I looked at Carl in shock. Rick shook his head while Daryl started sharpening his knife. I hopped down and gave Carl a dirty look and walked over to Daryl.

"boys." Daryl said sarcasticly sitting next to me.

i smiled, "yeah boys are the worst." i laughed.

Daryl got up and went to talk with Rick about Carl's recent behaviour. A little while later i saw a few of the group leave to go find Beth, she was somewhere in Atlanta, i beleieve its a hospital.

"Abraham has been moody too." Rosita spoke as she leaned aginst the door frame.

It made me jump but when i saw her it made me smile. Just then Andrew walked in.

'' Hello. May i tell you both a secret, well its not really a secret i don't really care who knows. Anyway i like men.''

''Your gay?'' Rosita asked, crossing her arms and raised one of her eyebrows.

''Yeah.'' he nodded and it went silent.

Carl walked in the room thinking no one else was there.

''What was that?'' He hissed at me, already regretting his tone in his voice.

''Just trying to be protective of myself.'' I replied coldly.

'' I didn't mean it okay? I was angry.'' Carl wined.

'' Well it sure seemed like it.'' I yelled walking outside.

i sat on the deck and cleaned my arrows and threw away the ones that were broken.

"Amber? a familiar voice cracked. I knew that voice the minute it came out of the owners mouth, my brother, Jakob.

''Jakob!'' i smiled. We hugged.

'' I thought you were dead!'' He smiled from ear to ear.

I missed his smile, his crazy brown curly hair and hazel eyes.

'' Come with me i'll intoduce you to the rest of my group.'' I gestered him to follow me.

Just then Daryl pulled up with his motorcycle, beth behind him.

"Amber!''

''Who's that?" Daryl pointed his crossbow up.

"Daryl meet Jakob, Jakob meet Daryl. Jakobs my brother.''

Daryl nodded and they shook hands. I noticed Carl staring at us, he noticed me staring and he looked away. i walked up to him, Jakob behind me.

''whose that?'' Carl asked.

''My ex boyfriend.'' i said sarcastically , laughing.

Carl gave him a glare, ''I'm joking calm down, he's my brother.''

Jakob smiled. carl just laughed, ''oh sorry. Now that you say that i see the resemblance.''

''how did you two separate?'' Carl asked.

''We were together and our group got split up. It was a gong show.''

Carl nodded.

''Im going to show Jakob around a little more than we will meet you inside.'' I told them.

We started walking around the perimeter and the inside of the church searching for people to meet. I introduced everyone, Jakob really liked everyone and everyone really liked him back, but i think Jakob liked Beth a little too much. Once we were done we went back to the room Carl, Judith and i sleep in.

''So if Daryl is our unbiogical dad, everyone else has that roll type thing, whats Carl?'' Jakob asked as we approached our room.

''My boyfriend.'' i smiled, once we got to the door Carl turned with a smile. Jakob gave him a smirk. I guess he heard me.

I liked how everyone accepted Jakob into the group, expecially Carl. Beth was alive, life at the church was great. i hope we can make a living here just like the prison. but just in a smaller place. The only thing that bothered me a little was that andrew really liked Jakob, friend wise, i hope.

The grown ups left for another run, it was just us kids, Carl, Jakob, Kim, Judith and me. Kim ran inside from her watch duty, '' Theres a herd!'' she yelled.

I grabbed my crossbow and two knives, i ran out as fast as i could. Kim held Judith, Carl and Jakob grabbed as much food and water as they could and they packed there bags, they packed Kim and my bag too. We ran for the woods leaving the church abandoned and overrun. Once we were far enough we came across a small wooden cabin. We stayed there, me and Jakob boarded the windows and the door.

''shhhh, Judith its okay'' Carl said as he took her from Kim's arms.

We all settled and relaxed, we shared a can of food, Carl and Kim shared, and Jakob and I, Judith had some of her baby food Michonne found on one of her runs.
