Alone| Carl Grimes

A Terrible Day ~Part 5~

So I'm gonna start putting songs to add to the story. Don't play them until I say so though. For everyone that actually reads this: ily

Bella
I broke the kiss and looked into his bright blue eyes. He smiled and grabbed my hand.

He led me through the darkness all the way to the doors leading outside.

He slowly pushed them open, trying to be quiet so nobody woke up.

We stepped outside into the cool air, still not talking.

We reached the gate and he looked around.

"No walkers, great!" He said, letting go of my hand.

He started climbing the fence then stopped.

"Are you coming?" He questioned

"Ok..." I said unsurely

I climbed up the gate next to him then we reached the top and jumped over.
(A/N: let's pretend there's no barbed wire...)

He grabbed my hand again and we ran into the woods. He put his free hand on his gun in case we ran into walkers.
(Play the song "If Everyone Cared" by Nickelback it goes with this part really well)
We were smiling and laughing as we ran. I felt the cool breeze against my face as I ran. He finally slowed down and laid down on the leaves. I laid next to him and we stared at the stars. I laid here silently. Next to him. I turned my head to him, and he did the same.

"You know Bella, I really like you. I liked you since I first saw you." He said.

I turned back and looked up at the stars. I know I've been against dating in the apocalypse but there's something about him. But I don't want to hurt him, and I don't like getting attached to people.

He leans into kiss me but I sit up, pushing him away.

"Carl, I- I just don't want to hurt you. With this world we live in, anything could happen to either one of us. I don't want you to have to worry about me" I say looking down.

"Bella, we're both here. I will worry about you either way too. Right now. Alive. I can protect you." He whispers.

"Maybe one day we can find an even safer place than the prison. We won't have to watch our backs every second. It will be like a paradise. Maybe like the old world We won't have to see anymore deaths. And we-" I cut him off with a kiss.

"Carl, I really like you too" I say.

I hear moaning coming from my left. Walker.

"Let's go, I don't want to make noise with my gun" Carl says as he grabs my hand once again and starts running.

(Ok you can end the song now)

•Next morning•
I pick out a pair of  black leggings and a grey Nike sweatshirt that Maggie got on a run. I walked down star and into the cafeteria, where all the noise was coming from. I walked in and people were laughing and eating breakfast, or carrots, granola bars, and canned peaches.

I grabbed a plate then looked around for Carl. I saw him sitting at a table alone towards the back. I sat down across from him and smiled.

"Hey Bella" He said. "After were done with chores today wanna hang out?" Carl asked.

"Sure. I just have to help Carol with the dishes then go clear some walkers at the fence. So I should be done around 3" I say.
