The Love Of A Boy |C.G.|

Chapter 26

Hailey's P.o.v.

My eyes flutter open and I sit up. Beth and Randall aren't in here, they must have went into the cafeteria. I get up and go.

"Hey." I say sitting at the table with Beth.

"Where's Randall?"

"Him, Daryl, and Carl, are out clearing the tombs. Are you ever going to talk to him?"

I knew by him, she meant Carl.

"Yeah, I just don't know when. I'm just upset."

She nods and gets up. She comes back with a bowel of cereal. Maggie and Glenn walk into the cafeteria holding the baby girl. Hershal wobbles in and sits at the table. I take a bite of my cereal as I watch Glenn make a bottle. He would be a good day some day. Hershal starts feeding the baby and she hiccups.

"How's every one?" Rick asks walking in from the tombs.

Has he been there all night?

"Where's Carl?" He asks.

"Clearing the tombs with Daryl and Randall."

He nods and walks back off into the tombs.

"Maggie and I were thinking about making a run today, for baby supplies and the essentials." Glenn says.

Not soon after, Daryl and them came back. Beth and Randall hugged, then he hugged me.

"How are you doing?" He asks as we walk to his and Beth's cell.

"I could be better. Hey, I'm gonna go check on James, I'll be back in a bit."

They smile and nod. I walk up to James's cell and slightly smile.

"What's up?" I ask standing at the door way.

"Playing with cars. Hi Carl."

What? I look behind me and notice Carl. I roll my eyes. Look don't get me wrong, I fucking love him, but I'm upset, mad, and feeling just about every emotion you could feel towards a human.

"I..uhm..I just wanted to check on James."

"He's my brother." I growl "And I got it."

He sighs.

"Hailey...I'm sorry."

I sigh not really wanting to deal with it now and walk out. Before my foot touched the stair, I was pulled back.

"Look, I'm sorry, I know you're upset, but ignoring me isn't going to solve anything."

God, why does he have to be right...

"I messed up. I was angry, and I took it out on you, I just wanted to be alone. I'm sorry. I love you so much, okay? Please, forgive me."

My eyes start to tear up as I start to think about what he said to me. I've been having nightmares about my mom. I miss her so much. I close my eyes to stop the tears, but when I open them I'm in Carl's embrace. I breath in his scent which calms me down.

"I'm sorry." I whisper.

"For?"

"For just being mean to you. I was being a bitch."

"No, I deserved every thing you said to me. I was the one being a dick."

I sigh. "Do you want to talk about it?"

He pulls away and grabs my hand, leading us into our cell. I sit on our bed and he sits next to me.

"When she died..I took it hard. I was a real dickhead to her and..and this happens. I just lost my state in mind."
