We are meant to be

Will you be my girlfriend?

Chapter 6

Carl's POV

Cassie falls asleep on my shoulder soon after she finishes singing. She's so cute when she's sleeping. "You really do like her, don't ya?" Daryl says. I nod, as Cassie stirs in her sleep. "I like her so much." I say.

Cassie shivers in her sleep,"Carl? I'm cold." she mumbles. I give her my shirt as she falls back to sleep. "How much do you like her exactly?" Daryl asks. "I like her more than anything, I never want to leave her side." Thunder booms in the distance, once again Cassie flinches. Everyone gets up and goes to there cells except for me,Daryl,and Cassie. After a few minutes, I pick her up, and say goodnight to Daryl,"Hey you be good to her now, she really does like you." he says. "Don't worry I will." I say as I carry her back to our cell. I lay her down on the bottom bed, and cover her up. I then lay beside her, and wrap my arms around her waist. In seconds, she curls up next to me in a ball. I laugh a little at her reaction. She breathes so softly in her sleep, it's like, she knows that she's always going to be safe with me. I have noticed something, ever since she started sleeping down here with me, she never has nightmares. I smile, I've never loved anyone like this before. I yawn, and rest my head on my pillow, Cassie stirs once more in her sleep, mumbling something,"Carl..I love you." that's what she says. Surprised and excited, I kiss her cheek, and soon drift off to sleep.

Cassie's POV

I wake up next to Carl in our cell, he's still sleeping, so I kiss him until he wakes up, he looks up at me smiling,"Well thank you for the good morning kiss, I now know, that my day is going to be perfect." he says. I smile as we walk downstairs, I grab a pack of crackers for us to eat as we walk to the field. We sit in the field and finish off the crackers, after a few minutes of sitting there I stand up, and run to the fence,"Daddy! Daddy!" I scream. Carl runs up behind me and pulls me away just before dad almost grabs my arm. He holds me back, as I scream,"Daddy!" I can't stop screaming at dad. Carl dragged me back farther from the fence, just as everybody runs outside. Tears come streaming down my face as I keep screaming at daddy. I see Daryl pull his crossbow out, as Carl hugs me so I'm not able to see. Then Carl's grip loosens. I run to the fence,"Daddy? Daddy wake up. Please, wake up! Daddy! Daddy please!" I scream. Carl pulls me away again, because I'm starting to attract walkers. We go back to the field as everyone else goes inside mumbling something.

Carl's POV

Cassie cries for a long time about her dad. I feel so bad for her. I lift her chin up, and our eyes meet, I lean in, and press my lips to hers. When we pull away, she smiles, she stopped crying, and I can tell now is the time,"Cassie, I need to tell you something." I say. "Ok what is it?" she asks. "Look I know we haven't known each other long, but I just can't stop thinking about you, I--I love you Cassie. And I want to know, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask. She smiles,"I feel the same way about you, I would love to be your girlfriend, Carl." she smiles and kisses me again, I wrap my arms around her little waist, when we pull away, I feel fireworks again. Cassie is my girlfriend. I keep repeating that in my mind. I place my hat on her head, as she giggles. "I love you Cassie Hensley." I say. "I love you Carl Grimes." she replies. I carry her back inside bridal style. We're both smiling the whole way inside.
