Well Hello [Carl Grimes Love Story]

Tough Love

I have started to become an early riser since this all started. My morning usually consists of watching my sister in her peaceful sleep. I love how she is still so innocent in this world. Her mind isn't focused on killing, surviving, hunting, or what would happen if we found others. No, she was still focused on what toys she was going to get when this was over. I wish I could think about the positives instead of the negatives, but one of us has to be realistic. The happy things we all wish for just are not going to happen anymore.
I continue thinking as I quietly get out of bed so I can scout the area around the house. It would be a terrible morning if we just woke up and walked out of the house and there be walkers everywhere.  As I am looking I begin to sing a song my mom sang for my sister and I,

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey.You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried"
What I didn't know is Liv woke up and watched me sing as I look out the window. She stated to sing with me and that's when I jumped and turned around. "Oh um...we shouldn't be singing we should be getting to Atlanta Liv" I replied not liking how she saw a weaker spot of me. "Please just one more verse KK? Just like mom used to" she said with those silly puppy dog eyes. "Fine whatever" I mumbled.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away"
I looked at my sister as I sang this verse. This one always made me think of her. Oh how I hope she knows I love her.
"I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all one day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Please don't take my sunshine away"

I turned around quickly as a finish refusing to let the tears in my eyes be seen by anyone, including my sister. I had to be strong for her in every situation.
"We need to eat something and get going. I am planing to get there in at least 2 more days Liv. Now go get dressed and eat something." While she gets dressed and eats, I am looking at our map of Georgia thinking if we should really go into Atlanta at all. The more I think about the more it sounds like a bad idea. My gut is telling me not to so I think we might head to this old waterfall our parents took us to. They had the quickest way already marked on the map. I know that you think a waterfall sound stupid to go to during the end of the world, right? Well it's not. There are caves around the water bowl covered by trees. I am thinking it would be a nice place for shelter. Besides there isn't anything around the waterfall, like big cities, but there may be some farms around. "So I guess we have a new plan" I say slightly proud of myself. "What is the new plan?" My sister asked. I turn to her as I say "you remember the waterfalls mom and dad took us to, you were really little so he may not remember." "Yes, I do. Is that where we are going?" She asked getting hopeful that we will go to someplace she remembers. "Yea it is Liv." I say happy that I made her happy. "Now let's go to these other houses and look for supplies today. We can leave for the waterfall tomorrow, okay?" I say. "Sure let me just go get my shoes on and we can go" Liv said. I haven't see her this happy in a long time and I hope it stays like this. "Okay I am ready" Liv says with her two knives and little gun. One knife in her hand and the other weapons in her belt. I laugh at how funny she looks and ruffle her hair. "Hey! What was that for?" She says trying to fix her hair. I put my gun in my holster, knife in my belt, and crossbow behind me back. I chuckle as I walkout the door and say "Tough love Liv" she just rolls her eyes and shuts the door behind us.
