Carl Grimes X Rescued

Part 6: A new start

Song of the chapter: Wake me up by Avicci

Aaron walked us through the town that was Alexandria and stopped infront of two, white, two storey houses. Each of them was untouched by the apocalypse, like it never even happened. This is a new start. Carl stayed by my side the whole time as everything happened. "These are the two houses you will be living in." Aaron said, "You can choose who lives in which one, there's food, cold water and showers, just go easy on the hot water." 

"Hot water?!" I said with my mouth hanging open. 

"Yep" Aaron laughed, "Make yourself at home." 

I looked up to Carl who had his eyes fixed on a girl across the street. A tad bit of jealousy shot through me. I"m not gonna lie, I did have a small crush on Carl. I mean, who wouldn't? He was everything any girl can dream of. "Carl." I tugged on his sleeve. 

"Huh?" He snapped out of it and looked down at me.

"They have running showers!" I grinned and clapped, "I can be clean for once!" 

"Then let's get inside before someone gets in it and takes a million years!" Carl laughed.
"Ah yes, that would be me. Shot gun first shower!" I said and ran into the house on the left. 

"Hey, No fair!" I heard Carl yell as I pulled the door open. 

Everything was so spotless and modern. There was a kitchen to my right, all white and ready to be used. To my left was a lounge with a tv and black leather couches. I almost cried at the sight, I always thought I would be dead before I got to live in another home. Infront of me was a white staircase, leading up to a hall way. I walked up those stairs and looked around. There were four rooms, a toilet, and a bathroom. One of the rooms had a set of clothes that would fit me fine (pictured above). I picked those up and headed towards the bathroom. I turned the shower on and stripped, covering myself with a towel. I looked into the mirror and gaped at myself. I let the towel drop to see how deprived I was. 

My ribs and hipbones stook out and my skin was pale. My light brown hair cascaded down to my waist and was full of dirt and tangles. My whole body was caked in a layer of dirt and oil. I shuddered and climbed into the shower. The hot water felt like heaven. I started by washing my hair with two lots of shampoo and conditioner, just so I could be extra clean. I then used a cloth to scrub every inch of my body, even behind my ears and between my toes. 

I looked to where the soap was sitting a saw a razor. I smiled to myself and shaved everywhere, extra, extra, extra clean now. Then I turned off the shower and stepped out. After drying myself, I wrapped my hair up in the towel and out on my clothes and boots. 

Being nosy, I looked underneath the sink to see a hair dryer and a few tooth brushes with tooth paste. I smiled even more and turned on the hair dryer, drying my hair. I then scrubbed my teeth for a good five minutes before throwing my towel in the laundry basket, along with my dirty clothes and stepped out of the bathroom and down the stairs. 

Nearly the whole group was sitting in the living room, setting up beds and getting blankets. "That half an hour of hogging the bathroom paid off." Daryl joked, coming up and hugging me. 
"I feel so much better now, I'm gonna eat something though." I hugged him back. 
I walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge to see it full of different foods. 

I smirked and pulled out a few pieces of fruit. 

I was sat on a countertop, eating an apple when the front door opened. I poked my head round the corner to see Carl all nice and clean with a new set of clothes. I smiled to myself and went back to the countertop. Carl walked to the living room and the to come see me. "Here." I said and chucked him an apple.
