I'll remember us (A Carl Grimes Fan Fiction OC/AU)

Chapter Ten: The Fight...

Lindsey's POV:

I can't tell him, it would basically ruin everything. I stand here looking at Carl, trying to let it out. How was I gonna tell him that I don't like Noah at all? That I just said that cause I wanted Carl to go away?

It was mean and to see how we just made up from all the bad things we had said to each other- it just didn't feel right. He promised not to say anything once I told him the truth.

I take a deep breath, "Look Carl." I begin, "Remember when we were outside, well making out? Me and Noah?" I say feeling a little embarrassed at the fact that Carl saw me literally pinned to the wall with Noah on top of me.

Carl nods his head and I continue, "well... When I said he was my boyfriend... I-" just when I was about to reveal that me and Noah weren't exactly dating, the devil walks in.

"Hey Lindsey? Why'd you run off like that?" Noah says standing at the doorstep all sweaty and panting.

Yes, I ran away from him. We sat down near the waterfall, and I told Noah to close his eyes. I had said that it was "my turn" to give him a surprise. "Don't open your eyes!" I remember saying as I stood up and ran as fast as I could back to the Inn.

I look back at Carl and he gives a little frown as he raises his brow and peace sign's me, "later," as Noah comes closer to me holding my hand. This was perfect, Noah is officially a pebble in my shoe.

I watch Carl leave into his room before I shove Noah and leave. He's so annoying, he won't leave me the fuck alone. I mean I guess I asked for it since I totally gave Carl the cold shoulder when Noah was being a sweetheart. I guess I just led him on.

"Lindsey!?" I hear Noah shout as he just watches me stomp away. He didn't move, he didn't flinch. He just stood there and with my peripheral vision, I see him clench his fist and turn in the direction that Carl left.

He wouldn't dare. That's not him. Carl wouldn't dare either. I stopped and waited for him to move. Well I didn't want him to move, but he did. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Noah slams the door open. "Noah don't you dare!" I say running at him.

He walks in on Carl, who was totally unaware, and shoves him straight to the ground. They're both grappling on the floor, grunting, kicking, everything. Noah was on top while Carl struggled to breathe as he was being strangled.

I quickly reach for Noah's shoulder to separate him from Carl, but Noah lands a punch straight to my face. As I fall back to the ground, Carl looks at me eyes widened. He then got the tremendous strength to kick Noah off of him, and managed to get up.

As I sit there rubbing my eye in pain, shouts come from their mouths.

"Lindsey's my girlfriend! Stay the fuck away Carl!"

"You asshole! Back the fuck off! You just hit your girlfriend!"

"You don't know what it's like to be loved, Grimes!"

"Noah I swear to god if you don't! Lindsey doesn't even love you!!"

Suddenly it all stopped when Carl uppercut's Noah right under the chin which knocked the fuck out of him. Noah lays on the ground unconscious, while I struggle to keep myself from whimpering.

I could hear both Brenda and Judith crying, I guess the fight must have made too much noise. Carl dusts himself off before he crouches down and cups his hands to my face.

"Let me see." He says as he tries to remove my hand to reveal the bruise. His face was so close to mine, I could feel his breathe upon me as I slowly let go of my hand. His eyes squinted to focus on my left eye.

"He's a jerk." He scoffs as he helps me up, "or should I say your boyfriend." He stares at me coldly before shifting around, heading towards the door.

"Carl wait!" I say tugging on his shirt. "He's not my boyfriend!" I finally managed to let it out. "It was a lie," I whispered, "but I guess he took it seriously."

Carl turns around eyes fixed, "what do you mean it was a lie? You lied to me!?" He says sternly. Lips slightly twitching and eyes sharp.

"I said it because I wanted you to go away, but Carl I swear I regret it!" I say softly while I touch his shoulder, " I'm really sorry!"

He holds his hands behind his neck and I could hear him whisper, "unbelievable." He swings around and begins to shout, "gosh Lindsey you're so stupid! Why the hell would you do that!? Does this shit mean nothing to you!? Are you satisfied now!?" His rant went on for minutes and I could feel my body begin to shiver.

"Nothing you ever do does me good! I should've-" his words get cut off as I step forward and give him a big bear hug out of the blue. I wrap my arms around him so tight and lay my head on his chest.

"I'm sorry." I say under my breath. I then look up as my eyes met his ocean blue eyes. Suddenly he places his two hands on my jaw line and quickly presses his lips to mine.
