The Pain We Face

About Nikki and Carl

Let me take you back a little bit. My name is Nikki Garnino. I'm sixteen and turning seventeen in about two months. I'm "dating" Carl Grimes. I only put dating in quotes, because..... well, it's the apocalypse. I met Carl when I was thirteen and he was fourteen.

I met him when my group saved him and another man named Daryl Dixon. His group was living in a prison, but somehow it caught fire, and walkers got in. It was the middle of the night so everyone was sleeping. Carl and Daryl were the only ones to make it out alive. Carl lost his father, Rick, and his little sister, Judith, in the fire. And Daryl lost his girlfriend named Carol.

My group could see the smoke, so we went to see what was going on. We lived about 100 miles away, but the smoke was high and we could smell it. When we got there a boy and a man were running in to the woods. Our leader Walter and his son Phil followed them. Eventually they brought them back, and we all went back to our camp.

We live in a large one story house, it's in the country so we have a lot of land. We also have electric fences to burn the walkers, before they can get to our house.

We have a large generator, but we generally only use that for the fence. We have fourteen people in our group. We have Walter, Phil, my mom, my brother, Daryl, Julia, CeCe, Jordan (guy), Hans, Matt, Tonya, Tina, Carl and I. Carl and I didn't start dating until I was fourteen and he was fifteen.

We share a room with my brother, Jett, which sucks. Anyway...... Carl and I have done "it"........ We weren't so posed to, but we did anyway. We figure that we never know when we are going to die, so we might as well do what we want now.

My mother was mad when she first found out that we were having sex, but then she realized it is a part of life, and we have to grow up faster now. But Carl and I always used protection, so we were shocked when we found out that I was pregnant.
