The Love Of A Boy |C.G.|

Chapter 31

A/N : This chapter was supposed to be out last Friday, and I hit publish, but I found out today that it wasn't on the Table of Contents for the book. Don't know what went wrong, but enjoy! 😄💁

Carl's P.o.v.

Even though I broke up with Hailey, I still love her. I've been going through alot and I just don't want to hurt her. She seems to be okay though, just the other day I saw her and Randall sleeping together. I got really jealous honestly. I know they are just friends, I'm just happy she has someone to lean on who isn't going to break and let her fall.

"Ready to go, Carl?" My dad asks breaking my thoughts. I look up at him and grab my bag from the table.

"Ready."

My dad and I start walking out and as I do I notice Hailey staring at me. She looked down at the floor then at Randall who was sitting across from her. I could tell she was totally agaisnt me going on this run, but there's nothing she can say to stop me.
Here's the thing...
Her opinion matters to me, but it can't.
Her feelings matter to me, but they can't.
She matters to me, but she can't
I'm not fine without her, but I have to be.
I don't want to stay away from her, but I have to.

Hailey's P.o.v.

Shit. He saw me looking. I look at the dirty floor of the cafeteria then at Randall.

"You okay?" He asks me. His brown eyes looking into mine.

"Do you want the truth or the lie?" I ask.

"The lie."

I sit up straight and smile the fakest smile I could.

"I'm so wonderful!" I say sarcastically. He frowns and removes his eyes from me.

"Hey Hailey." Beth says sitting next to me. I smile and lay my head on her shoulder.

"I miss him, Beth. I miss him alot." My smile fades.

"I know. Things we be alright soon."

I lift my head and look at her.

"How? He doesn't even talk to me..."

She sighs and nods her head.

"Look, I have to go help Carol with laundry. I'll see you guys later." Beth gets up and kisses Randall on the lips. When she pulls away Randall doesn't look satisfied.

Is he okay? Is he not into her anymore? I decided not to start anything and keep my mouth quiet.

I sigh and rub my hands through my knotted hair. It looked like shit. I stop when I notice Randall is staring and smiling.

"What?" I ask giggling a bit.

"What would happen if I told you I can cut your hair and braid it?" He says, his cheeks getting red as a tomato.

I shrug. "Why...can you?"

He nods and laughs.

"You can?" I ask in disbelief. He stands up and smiles.

"Come follow me."

I get up and Randell leads me into the tombs.

"Didn't Carl and them say it's overran again?" I ask getting my gun out.

"Yeah, but just come on." He says getting deeper into the tombs. We reached the showers and took down about three or five walkers max. Randall shuts and locks the door to the showers. I look around and memories of Carl and I in here flooded my mind, which is making me worry about him.
Is he okay?
Is he even alive?
