Raven Haired Boy (10k Love Story)

What if?

A hole had been blown through the left wall, the impact from the blast misplaced everyone, i appeared at the opposite side of the room pieces of rubble lay on me. I use all my strength to lift the rubble away, feeling light headed my ears rang with pain. I go to the nearest person i hear coughing up there lungs its Carl i start digging him out of the rubble "hey- Carl you okay?"
"Yeah" he coughs, i pull him up "Dad!" - "Carl!" Rick shouts back Carl climbs over the rubble towards Rick i follow him. "Astrid!" Addy shouts on me, "Addy! - where do we? What should we..." "Its okay, we just have to get everyone out hear, okay?" Addy grabbed my shoulders  "Okay?" She questioned again, i nodded. "We need help over here!" Warren shouts out.

Me and Addy follow Warrens voice in the dark, Carol is trapped under a concrete slab "grab this" Warren orders me, Addy, Doc and even Murphy. We all struggle to hold up the heavy concrete, while Carol crawls out from under the concrete. "Everybody OUT NOW!" Rick yells "w-what about-" I panic to Warren and the others. Doc and Addy grab my arm and run towards the wall that had been blown down to escape, while tripping on the rubble, before we reach the end of the exit - BOOM! another shot is fired in...

The impact from the tank sends me flying back, i hit my head on something making me feel nauseous. Shots are fired from a machine gun in the distance. My body feels heavy and weak. "Hey!" I hear Daryl's voice call out in his deep southern accent. "Da-"
"Hey its okay," i feel a sudden release off my body, as the chunks on concrete are lifted from my body.

Daryl slings me over his shoulder and carries me out the crumbled prison, the sky has finally lit up a bit. Daryl sits me up against a wall outside, my vision now becoming clearer. The shots get louder and some mens voices can be herd. I grab onto my knife and take it from my bottoms.
I stand on my feet dizzily, i see the governors men in the distance silhouetted by the sunset sky. Daryl holds his crossbow in hand "C'mon" i follow him. Where is 10k i haven't even seen him - what if he is still in there?
"Where is everyone?- are they out?" I question Daryl he shrugs. "Daryl we have to go back!" "We can't!" He argues.

We sneak up on one of the governors men, Daryl orders me to stand back so he can take him out with his arrow. I disobey him and jump on the brown haired guy from behind covering is mouth, i then drag my knife across his throat - the blood goes all over my hands, before he abruptly falls to the ground. I take his machine gun and turn back to the rubble where the prison once stood.

"Astrid! - get back here!" Daryl shouts on me. I look at him sternly "i have to go back" i say to him before i continue walking. "Rick said we all meet around the motor way few miles up okay?!" He looks deep into my eyes. "O-okay" i take a deep breath, "which way then?" Daryl points the direction we should head. It doesn't seem right - just leaving them - what if i never see them again? - what if i never see him again? - what if he is still lying under that rubble trapped?
- I can only think the worse...

After a long trek we come to a main road, we take cover by the side of the road "when do you think we will get there?" I ask Daryl while glancing down at my necklace still so shiney.

"Mmm, in about an hour..." Something stopped Daryl from speaking further, then i smelt it the stench of the undead. I looked in the direction Daryl looked spotting hundreds maybe even thousands of zombies headed our direction. Before i soon acknowledge the undead arising from every direction of the forest that surrounded us. I jump up from my feet Daryl soon follows my actions, "Wha-what direction is the motor way?" I urgently call out.
"Up North-East" the groaning of the dead becomes increasingly louder with each step the shrivelled up bodies take.

"I will led them away Daryl there is too many of them!" "No i will, meet me back at the motor way!" I didn't even get a word in before he charges into the undead shouting at them and aggravating them . I make my break into the forest ahead of me sprinting as fast as my legs take me, my hair whips behind me as i dart through the trees that darken the forest. Unaware of how close the zombies are to me...

I glance behind - to check where the zombies are, they are far away now. I trip over a root of a tree, stumble along the muddy ground and fall hard onto a small section of nettles. "Ouch!" I let out a yelp into my sleeve being sure not to make any noise.
"Astrid?" I'd know that voice from anywhere, i lift up my head and find 10k standing meters away from me. A smile spreads across my face "10k!" I run towards him and jump into his arms. "Are you okay, you hurt?" He asks with concern. "No I'm fine, are you?" "Your heads cut" "I'm fine its just a scratch" i say while he examines my hand with nettle stings.

He looks me in the eyes and rests his hand under my chin examining my head, I feel myself being pulled in closer to him, my heart pounces so fast and so loud I'm sure he can hear it. My lips touch 10ks innocent warm lips. My heart flutters sending a flare through every inch of my body. I feel my face glowing pink.
"Snap!" A twig breaks quietly but loud enough to hear, me and 10k both part, snapping our heads the direction the noise came from. "Astrid" Addy says with a big smirk on her face swinging her bat, "A-Addy em..." I feel myself glowing even redder, "the groups over here" she nods in the direction and heads back, me and 10k follow her. We both walk side by side, i didn't say anything neither did he. I look around the forest, and then glance at 10k his cheeks glow red, we make eye contact he smirks at me and we pull away i smiling into myself feeling my temperature rise more.
