The walking dead fiction (book 1)

Expectations

Carl and I look at each other and he runs upstairs. I look at Sam for about a second before I follow Carl to the second floor of our house. I look through the crack of the closed door and Rick is yelling at Carl. "YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN HER PREGNANT!" Rick yells. "We were safe..." He says to his dad as he looks at the floor. "I can see that" Rick says as he hold up the opened condom package. Shit. "Sorry" Carl says to him as he looks up at him. "Yeah. You best be." Rick says as he walks to the door so I run and go in Sams room. "What happened?" Sam asks as I quietly shut the door behind me. "He found it" I say back to her as I listen to Ricks footsteps go down the stairs. "GROUP MEETING!" I hear Michonne yell from outside. "Let's go" I say as I go downstairs.

I get outside and into the food house. "Good everyone is here!" Michonne says as Sam and I walk inside. "What's this about?" I asks I sit on the couch next to Carl. "We are going to look for the people that came here yesterday. We have reasons to believe that they won't hurt us and the offered us transport for us and our supplies to there. " Rick says as his eyes scan the room. "When?" Kelsea asks as she rests her hands on the couch. "Tonight, we will sneak in so they won't know we are coming." Rick says back to Kelsea. "And we are making some house arrangements too..... Carl will stay in my house from now on." Rick says as he looks directly at me. "Ok" Carl says as he stands up and heads to the doorway. "I'll put my clothes in the extra room" he says as he walks out the door. "You aren't coming" Rick says as he points at me. I go outside and go inside our house. "Are you still in here?" I say when I get upstairs and go into out bedroom. Carl is squatting next to my sock drawer and when he notices me he stands up, putting something into his pocket. "I hope that's not my underwear" I say jokingly as I help Carl put his shirts into a bag. "It's not" he answers seriously. "I was kidding" I say as I reach for his hand. "Can you help me carry this to my dads house?" Carl says as he puts a backpack over his shoulder. "Sure" I say as I grab the other bag. When we get to Ricks house I put his backpack on the bed in the extra room. "Sam, Kelsea and I might go sleep in the treehouse tonight" I say as I fix my hair in the mirror. "Alright" Carl responds as he starts throwing his clothes into drawers. "You can go now" he says as he looks up at me. "Ok, love you" I say before I kiss him and walk out of the room. He opens a drawer and puts whatever was in his pocket inside. I know what it is though. I go outside and Rick is putting stuff into the car. "You're leaving now?" I say as I put my hand on the car. "Yes, Daryl will be here so don't think about it." Rick says as he sits in the front seat of the car. "Bye Zoe" Michonne says as she hugs me before she sits in the car next to Rick. "Just be careful, we don't know what these people can do." I say as Rick drives away and I close the gate behind them.

I go to my house and get one of Carl's shirts that I'm going to bed. "Hey, it's really hot up there so we are going to sleep in the treehouse another time." Kelsea says as she walks into my bedroom. "Ok" I say as I grab clean clothes. "Are you gonna shower?" Kelsea says as she moves so she is leaning on the doorway. "Yeah" I say as I walk into the hallway. "Ok me and Sam are going to the food house to make pasta. Probably macaroni." Kelsea says as she follows me to the bathroom door. "Ok I will probably be down before you are all done" I say before I close the door. "Ok" Kelsea says before she walked off.

I get in the shower and when I'm washing the conditioner out of my hair, the door opens, then shuts. "Hello?" I say as I peak my head out of the shower curtain. I look over and Carl is sitting on the sink. "What are you doing?!" I say while hiding my body behind the shower curtain. "I needed to talk to you" he says as he turns so he is looking right at me. "About what?" I say as I close the shower curtain and continue washing the conditioner out of my hair. "About earlier" Carl says back to me. "What about it" I say as I peak my head through the curtain. "Was that a one time thing or.." He says as he looks down at the floor and back at me. "You tell me. Now turn around so I can put some clothes on." I say to Carl as I turn off the shower. Carl turns around and faces the door so I can put on my clothes. When I'm wearing my 'pajamas' I tell Carl "I'm done" when I start to brush my hair. "My dad is just an asshole." Carl says as he wraps his arms around my waist. "No he's not, he wants to do what's best for you" I say as I look at us in the mirror. "Because taking me away from what I love is best for me right?" He says as he puts his chin on my shoulder. I don't know what to say so I decide to not answers him. "I love you" Carl says to me as he kisses my cheek. "I love you too" I say as I turn around and kiss him on the lips. "Now take a shower." I say as I kiss him for a millisecond then when he goes to kiss me again I pull away slightly. "Love you" I say as I watch Carl take his shirt off then close the door.

I go into my bedroom and lay down so I can fall asleep and the door creeks opened. "Hello?" I say as I sit up. It's already pitch black so I can't see who it is. "It's carl" he says as he turns on the lamp from across the room. "Now, when we were in the bathroom I think we didn't finish what we started" Carl says as he sits next to me and starts to kiss me. "Do you even have one?" I say after I take off my tank top. "No" Carl says as reaches to unbuckle his belt but I stop him. "No" I say stopping him from kissing me. "Just go to bed Carl... Please" I say as I lay on my side. Carl gets up and buckles his belt the rest of the way. "Goodnight" he says as he walks out of the room. Now I feel bad.

I wake up in the middle of the night and it's thunder storming. I try to sleep, but I'm extremely unsuccessful. I put on a pair of black leggings and my light grey university sweatshirt. I take an umbrella from the broom closet and go outside. It was down pouring. I go into Ricks house and take my shoes off. When I get to Carl's room, he is sleeping. I take off my sweatshirt and leggings and lay next to him. It's cold in here so I get under the blankets and lay as close to Carl as I can. "If you wanted me to sleep in your house, you could have just asked." Carl say as he comes closer to me so we are spooning. "I couldn't sleep" I say grabbing his hand and holding it. "Goodnight" we both say before we fall asleep. In the morning, it's still raining. Carl is just opening his eyes by the time I sit up. "Morning" he says as he kisses me. "Hey" I say as I put my leggings and my sweatshirt back on. I go out the door and someone is holding a gun to my head right when I get into the hallway.
