Abandoned

Part 6

Aspyns Pov:
it's been a week and I still haven't decided what I'm going to do yet. I'm safe here but these people don't know me.. or know my past. Well besides Carl. Him and I have gotten really close and he's the only person I feel totally normal talking to.
"Hey Aspyn goodmorning" Carl pushes my book out of my hands and sits down next to me on my bed.
"Why do you insist on doing that" I laugh picking up the book off the ground and punch his shoulder earning a light punch back.
"we might go on a run today.. wanna join" he asks.
"Yeah seems good" I turn to face his blue eyes and I smile.
he stands up and leaves mumbling
"ok beautiful" I chuckle because I know he didn't want me to hear that. I throw on some green army pants with a black long sleeve with holes in it because during an apocalypse you don't have much choice. I throw on some running shoes my dad gave me on my last birthday before this all started. I Sigh and put my long hair into a high ponytail.
"Hungry?" Carol asks and I walk into the main room.
"Starved" I grab a plate of bacon she cooked
up, or I think it's bacon. I clear my plate in ten minutes and put the plate with the dirty ones.
"Gray" Carl yells from the door.
"Yes, Grimes" I shoot back because he knows I hate when he uses my last name.
"Ready to go"
"Ready as I'll ever be" I sigh
I grab a pistol with a silencer and my knife and tuck them into my waist band of my jeans and join Rick, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie, And Carl in the car. Beth and Carol open the gates as we drive through dodging walkers on the way out.
"Ok, here is the deal. We split up into groups of 2. We are looking for medicine and food and if you find anything worth grabbing" Rick says throwing duffles and backpacks at each of us. We pull up to the store about 10 mins later. It's an old Walmart with barley any walkers around but looks like it hasn't been raided yet.
The groups are Daryl and Rick, Maggie and Glenn and Carl and I.
Rick runs up to the glass doors and knocks loudly and we wait for walkers.
6 walkers press their faces up against the glass. We open the doors and take them all on easily using our knives to conserve bullets.
I turn around wiping blood off my forehead.
"ASPYN" Carl yells and I feel a pair of arms grab my arm. I turn around and meet the white eyes of a walker about to take a bite out of my arm. I kick the walker back and stab it with my knife.
"Thanks Carl." I say out of breath.
"No problem." He says guiding me in to the store.
"Need help, just yell" Rick says one more time before we all split up.
We go towards the baby isle and I start piling formula in bag along with a blanket and a new bottle. Carl grabs some baby medicine and we head of searching more of the store.
"Aspyn do you wanna go to the clothing section" Carl laughs pushing me into the rack of bras and underwear. I glare at him and grab a bra and 5 pairs of underwear.
"Fuck you" i roll my eyes
"When and where" Carl says laughing. I shake my head and grab tampons without Carl looking and shove them in my bag. We get to the food isle and we grab the food we could save and walk to the entrance of the door. We turn around to an overwhelming amount of groans from walkers. My eyes widen when I see a herd or 12 walkers coming our way.
"shh" Carl grabs my arm and we run into the office and he jams a chair underneath the door.
"We're gonna die.. we're gonna die" I mumble pacing around the office. I start shaking uncontrollably and I sit down not being able to breath. Carl notices and sits by me and takes me in his arms.
"shh it's ok" he rubs my back.
"It's only a panic attack you'll be fine" he kisses my forehead
