You escaped from a group of assholes abusing you, and tried to rape you. You headed to the woods with all your speed, being chased by two or three men. Tears are streaming down your young face as you wander alone. Your clothes were shredded, leaving its pieces on the branches of the trees you pass by. Deep cuts and open wounds covered your skin but you were not able to feel them as your adrenaline rush.

As you ran further with no direction, tall fences started to appear in your gaze. It was a prison. Someone was behind the gate, a boy who has a sheriff hat on.

You looked at the area while catching your breath to see that the place was clear. You headed towards the gate and started to see a familiar face as you get closer.

It was him.

"CARL!" You let out a loud scream, waving both hands in surrender.

He saw you and opened up the gates, letting you in. "Y/N what happened..."

You cut him off by throwing your arms around him. He was your childhood sweetheart and first love. You haven't seen him for so long since the apocalypse started.

"I'm sorry." You said, letting go of him. "It was a torture. They were abusing me, and they just tried to rape me. I escaped and ran to the woods and now they're after me." You looked down with tears started to fall from your eyes again.

"That's okay, Y/N. You made it here now, you're safe." He said, holding your chin up.

You looked to him just to see he was already looking at you. You met his pair of blue eyes and just by looking at them, it already felt like home. You were speechless as he leaned in and the next thing you knew was he put his lips to yours.

Your eyes are wide open, still in shock of what was happening. But then you closed your eyes and gave him approval, your lips moved in sync.

You both let go just to gasp for air. He smiled while holding your face. You knew it was the only smile and the kiss you were longing for.

"I know you've been through hell, but I would not let that happen again. I will do anything just to keep you in my arms now." He said, making you feel at ease. "I love you." He added, waiting for your answer.

You were silent for a minute, starting to make him feel nervous if you really feel the same way. "I love you too, Carl." You answered, giving him a weak smile.

**A/N: This might sound stupid but know that I tried. Lmao I love talking with fellow Wattpaders, so come and say hi on my profile or message board. ♡
