The Love Of A Boy |C.G.|

Chapter 25

Hailey's P.o.v.

"She's looks healthy, but she needs formula or she'll die." Hershal says examining her.

I hold James tight and rub his back. Rick just went running into the prison with his axe a few seconds ago.

"We ain't losing anyone else, not her. Let's go make a run." Daryl says strapping his cross bow around him.

"I'll go with you. Stay in the prison okay." I say looking down at James. He's getting taller though. He nods.

"I'll go too." Maggie says.

"Alright. Let's go! Where gonna lose a life! C'mon people!"

I kiss James on the cheek and go over to Beth and Randall.

"Hey, he just lost his mom and his dad isn't doing so hot. Can you please look after him while I'm gone?"

They both nod. "Thank you." I say hugging them. I walk to Carl who is just standing there with is gun in his hand and tear stained cheeks. I go to hug him but he pushes me away.
That hurt. What the hell...

"Leave me the fuck alone." He growls storming off into the prison.

Ouch...

Is it bad that I kind of want to cry?

I sigh and make my way to Maggs. Her, Daryl, and I walk down to the cars.

"Know any places around here for babies?"

"Lori asked me to keep an eye out, but I haven't had much luck."

"While we were out on the road I saw a sign for a store just North from here." I say as we reach the greenish blue car.

"Can't go there, it's too far. I'm just gonna take one of ya." Daryl says grabbing his poncho from the car.

"I'll go."

"Are you sure, Maggie? After what happened I don't think you should go." I say closing the car door.

"That's exactly why I don't want you to. You should stay here with Carl, he needs you."

I don't think so.

"I doubt he does. You saw how harsh he was to me."

Daryl turns on his bike causing the engine to roar.

"He's just upset, he needs you. You always need your other half to be strong for you when you can't be strong for yourself. Believe me...I know."

I smile and hug her.

"Thank you. Be safe love you."

"Love you too." She says walking to Daryl's bike. She gets on and I watch as Oscar opens the gate and let's them out. I sigh and walk back up to the court. No one is there, I'm guessing they went back into the prison.

I walk into our cell block and see everyone in the cafeteria besides Rick and a couple others. I smile at Carl, but he doesn't return it causing me to frown.

"Did Maggie and Daryl leave?" Glenn asks. I nod and take a seat. T-Dog and Carol aren't here, so I'm guessing they didn't make it, which is very upsetting. Beth sits across from me, making me snap out of my thoughts.

"Looks like all the walkers that were in here wondered into the tombs." Randall says sitting next to her. She sighs and places her head on his shoulder. Randall looks at me and slightly smiles. I smile back. His cheeks turn red like a cherry.

Well...okay.

I watch as Carl hands his baby sister to Hershal and walks into the cells. I look at James who is admiring the baby girl. I get up and walk to my cell finding Carl laying on the bed, looking up at the bed above him.
