"Carl?" I screamed in happiness. He weakly smiled back and I fell onto him, hugging him tightly.
"Ow." He mumbled. I laughed and let go but to be pulled back by him. "I never said let go."
I giggled and stared into his one eye. It feels weird saying that.
"What happened to me? I can't see out of my right eye..."
"Oh. Um... Ollie kinda shot you." I said awkwardly.
"Ollie? That prick of an ex - boyfriend shot me?" I nodded and and explained why his eye had gone. Denise told me that the bullet hit the cheek bone and sent the bone fragments into his eye. Or something like that. I'm not a professional doctor, just one in training.
"I should get Denise-" I say getting up off of him. He pulled me back onto him forcefully. Shit he's strong. Goddamn.
"No. Please don't. I want to spend time with my girl." A smile tug at my lips and I laid back down. "So tell me, where were you Miss Chapman?"
I explained to him about where I was, how I met Carly and how I ended up here. "And what we're you up to while I was away?"
"Taking care of Mason and Judith. Crying because you weren't here."
I think my heart just melted.
"I'm sorry. I just had a lot on my mind, I had to get away from this place. Ya know bad memories and shit?"
"Yeah, well at least you're here now." He said as he leaned in to kiss me. His soft, plump lips met mine and my body fills with butterflies.
I giggled into his bare chest and heard a knock at the door.
"You're awake...!" Denise beamed, walking into the room. "How are you feeling?"
"Meh. My face hurts." I giggled at Carl's response and stood up so Denise can look at his eye.
"Can you get Rick?" Denise asks me and I nod while walking out of the door. Carl waves and blows me a kiss, I wave back and pretend to catch it and store it in my pocket. I love these moments.
I race to Rick's house and patiently wait for him to answer.
"Hey Mary...? What can I do for you?"
"Carl's awake."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I go to my house and get washed and changed. I have a quick shower, brush my teeth and change. I get change into some faded knee-length jeans, a black top and a purple checkered shirt with some blue converses.
My hair has been quite longer recently and so I tie it up more often. Usually in a messy bun or a simple pony tail. Today I think I'll go with a pony tail.
"Morning Carly!" I shout downstairs when I hear her walk into our house. Carly, Mason and I all share a house now. Carly's quite messy and is not what I thought she would be like but she's fine. Mason loves her to pieces.
"Hey..." She greets me, walking upstairs into her room. She's been a lot more distant lately, especially when I talk about the group. I knock on her door and walk in slowly.
"Hi. What are you doing?"
"'Killing time.'" She mocks me. I giggle and she smirks "How come you're so happy?"
"Carl's awake!" I practically scream.
"That's... great." She smiles. "I can finally meet him."
"Yeah. Aren't you going on a run today?" She nodded and stood up to go.
"Yeah, with two others; Rick and someone?"
"Rick and Daryl." I replied. Her facial expression changed and her face became a crimson red.
"I-I Ugh... I don't feel well."
"Are you okay? Do you want me to get Denise-"
"No! No. I-I'll be fine." She said as if whispering it to herself. I looked at her for a second before leaving her.
~Carly's POV~
Oh my god! What have I gotten myself into? I shouldn't have agreed to go on this run. He's gonna be there.
I change into some black jeans, a long sleeve top to hide my scars and a leather jacket. I also add some black big boots.
I shakily stand up and head to the gates. I pass a few Alexandrians and notice how scared they looked. Like I was gonna attack them. I'm not that bad...
"Morning!" A woman said as I walk along the clear pathway. I weakly smile but ignore her. I'm not very good at making friends.
I finally get to the gates and see Rick and him. He looks totally different. Longer hair, bigger arms. Oh how I miss him.
"You Carly?" Rick asks me while I grab some guns from the storage. I nod and pick up some guns and my trusty machete. "You done this before?"
"Yeah. I was out there a long time." I say, looking at Daryl. He notices me and gives me what looks like a death glare. He's always been like this, always watching himself. On the inside he's just a big softie.
"You ready?" Daryl asks Rick, he nods and climbs into the car. I sit in the back quietly while the two of them are in the front, Rick is driving.
"How many walkers have you killed?" Rick questions me out of the blue.
"A few hundred. Who knows these days?" I answer.
"How many people have you killed?"
"Four."
"Why?"
"They tried to hurt my family. One was my family." It was true.
One cold miserable night, Daryl's sister Blake (_upcoming_apocalypse ;)) was walking along with me. We went on a run. It was great, got lots of great things. Food, clothes, everything. It was great. While we were coming back to camp, these assholes jumped us. I got a few. She did too. But she... she got stabbed. I rushed her back to camp and she didn't survive. It was horrible. She died that night and I to end it.
It had to be me.
A/N
FOR ANYONE THAT IS READING BULLETS OR ARROWS: THIS IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN. I JUST THOUGHT OF THE NAME.
So more Daryl and Carly background so I hope you enjoyed something different. It was quite fun writing for another character :p
Anyway!
