Light Turning Dark✖️Carl Grimes

[5] One walk to remember

Quinn's P.O.V.

Then I heard a voice. A voice that is my nightmare.

I turn around to see Carl. There was always something about him that I liked, maybe his eyes? I don't know. But I hope my sister is okay. Why did I leave her? We always stuck together. This is all my fault. No? Yes? I don't know.

"Hi." Carl says as I look back at the query. I hope Daryl and I will go hunting later. "Hi." I say back, but still thinking about going hunting.

"May I sit?" He asks. "Sure." I say a bit annoyed. Why is he so weird and mean and lofts more of those things?

He sits down and in the corner of my eye I can see him starring. "Take a picture it'll last longer." I say with a chuckle.

"Where's Kaylee?" He asks, depressed like. I look over to him. "I don't know. I left her for my own good. I would have died. And trust me, I know it would have been better. You don't have to rub it in." He looks guilty. Good he should be.

I open my book bag and grab my diary. I flip open a page but its not mine. Its Kaylee's. I start with the first page and Carl starts to read it to.

     Dear diary, its Kaylee and I have a twin sister named Quinn. We do everything together. But lately not so much. I don't know why I hope will will soon. I miss the old butterfly girl she once was. I need that one again.

I flip to the middle of the diary. I should never be reading this but what else am I suppose to read?

  Dear diary,

      Today was the worst day ever! More lying to Quinn. I hate lying to her, but I have to though. She thinks I'm being bullied to. But I'm not. Her bully is my best friend, Carl Grimes! We have been friends since the beginning of the year. But I feel bad for Quinn because of Carl. I can't do anything about it. He'll be mad at me. I don't want that.

I can't believe this. SHE LIED TO ME?!? How could she! I told her everything! Well not everything. Like wanting to run away and almost cutting myself. She has mine?!? Oh no! No! No! No! This can't be happening. I hope to god she doesn't read it.

"You didn't know this? Did you?" Carl asks me as I start to tear up. "None of it. How could you!?! Or her?!? Lie to me? You where friends?!?" I'm so confused.

"Ya, we're friends. Well I hope we still are. Look I came down here to tell you sorry. I should have never ever done that to you. I hurt you badly, didn't I?" I look down at my wrist to see nothing but smooth skin. Well bloody smooth skin. If you call it smooth.

"Ya. I wanted to run away, go die. I tried to die. But I know my sister would never let go of that thought and do the same. So I didn't do it. I stayed strong." I say with a tear or two slip out of my eye and onto my cheek.

"I'm sorry. Hey, let's take a walk, maybe talk a little?" I nod my head and get up. I stretch and start to walk with Carl. But I didn't notice something after a few minutes of walking, are hands where intertwined.

How did that happen? I don't know. Who cares? I've liked him since school I just thought he felt different. I guess not.

"So why did you leave her?" He asks, talking about Kaylee. "She wouldn't let me kill a walker. Is that what their called? Walkers?" I look at him.

"That's what we call them. So, ya!" He says. I nod. "Well, any who! She wouldn't let me kill one or even have a weapon. So I could have been killed if I never left her. But it was for the good. I found my friends." I say happy.

He smiles. Then frowns.

"Saying sorry wasn't the only thing I came down here for." He turned and looked at me. In the eyes. He's never done that before.

What's in my belly? Butterfly's? How? Why? I know why, just hope it fake or a dream.

"I like, like you Quinn. Always have always will." He says. Then he got on one knee. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I had no words. So I nodded my head yes and hugged him once he was standing.

This day can't get any better. And if it did, I would cry. But that's not the only reason I'll cry. I still have more to read in Kaylee's diary. Even though its bad.

Its good for me.
