Don't Let Me Fall (On Hold)

Chapter 6 ~ I Need to Know More

Ava's P.O.V

Carl left shortly after he gave me the water. He seemed panicked and confused and left in a big hurry. I hope I didn't do anything wrong. Did I do something wrong? What if I did. What if he hates me now. No he couldn't hate you all you said was Thank you and accidentally touched his hand. Oh no, what if he had an issue with people touching him. What if he thinks I purposely touched him. I started hyperventilating and sweating, I haven't dealt with people in so long and every time it ended badly. Breath Avery you haven't done anything wrong he probably had some things to tend too.

I sat up and slowly swung my legs over the edge so I could stand up. I looked down and all I had on was a bandage over my chest and breasts with my jeans covering my legs. Maybe that's why he was acting weird. I looked in front of me to see my shirt all cut up and on a table. "Well shit" I said out loud, and a little to loud for my liking.

"Ava I see you're up" Rick said walking in with a shirt in hand. I jumped which caused me to hurt myself and grab my ribs and groan in pain. "Sorry" he apologized for scaring me.

"It's okay. I just wanted to find my shirt but as I can see," I nodded over to the table "it's a little worse for ware"

"Yeah, we had to take it off you quickly and keeping it intact just wasn't an option, but I got a shirt here for ya that we found in your saddlebags." He held his hand out with my shirt. I grabbed it from his hands and looked at it. It was just one of my plain black t shirts I found in a car.

I threw the shirt on and looked at Rick "Thank you, and I'm guess I'm gonna have to pull my own weight somehow. What do ya need me to do?"

A/N It's not long but it'll do for now. What will she have to do? What is wrong with Carl?
