I Need You and Only You (Carl Grimes FanFic/TWD) --(COMPLETED)--Editing

Chapter 3: Don't Tell Our Secret!

Everyone was doing well, and overtime Carl and I became friends. I was sitting on the porch and Carl came, making the butterflies in my stomach come back.

"Hey." Carl said to me.

"Hey." I says back.

"Come on you look bored." He held out his hand for me, and I took it, smiling. Then when I realized where he was taking me I had to stop him.

"Wait!" He turned and looked at me.

"What's wrong?" He asked me. 

We can't go to the farm! I kept saying in my head.

"Um... Let's go over there, you can help me feed the chickens." I said smiling.

"Okay." He shrugs and we ran to the chicken pen. Lori was there with us while we fed them. After a while I saw Patricia pushing a wheel barrel, with a bag in it, to the farm. I looked back at Lori and Carl making sure they didn't see her.

Later on, Carl and I just started walking around the farm next to the fences. I keep getting these weird feelings. Do I like him?

"So, what was your life like before all this happened?" I asked Carl.

"Well, just like any other kid I went to school, and I then later I found out that my dad got shot and sent to the hospital. Then when all the walkers came we went to Atlanta with Shane, and we thought my dad died. Then, a miracle happened and he was sent back to us."

"That's awesome, but wait what are walker?" I asked him in confusion.

"That's what we call those things." He laughs

"Oh." When we finally got back to the house I looked for Maggie, but she wasn't anywhere. I found Carl again with his mom and I asked her, "Hey Lori have you seen Maggie?"

"Uh.... Yeah she went with Glenn to get me a few things." I started to feel anger and worry. Then, I ran away and Carl followed me inside the house up to my room.

"Pey, are you okay?" He walked up to me. I look up at Carl.

"No! I'm not okay! What if something happens to her? What if I lose her I won't have anyone anymore." I cried.

"You'll have me." I looked up at him. He was blushing. "And... uh.... everyone else." He finished rubbing the back of his head.

"It's not gonna be the same!" I said throwing my hand in the air. Carl grabbed me hands, and put them down to my side and hugged me to calm me down. I cried on his shoulder.

"She's going to be fine. I promise...." He paused. "If she is gone... I'll protect you." I pulled away from the hug, and he smiled. I slowly smiled back. "I know this might be a bad time right know, but I really like you Pey."

I was surprised. Was this really happening? "I-I like you too." I confessed to him. He smiled and kissed me on the cheek. I blushed and smiled. We sat on the bed for awhile and I laid my head on his shoulder, and fell asleep for a few minutes when Carl came waking me up.

"Pey...Pey wake up!" He shook me lightly.

"Huh? What is it?" I squinted my eyes trying to wake up.

"They're back." He says. I jumped up smiling and ran out the door, but when I saw Ma... she was mad, and crying a little bit.

"Ma! What happened?" I said running to her scared. "Are you bit?" I started to cry a bit.

"No. I fine." She hugged me. "There was just a little incident, that's all."

As time passed and Glenn and Maggie started to sneak around. I was sitting by the farm and saw Glenn sneaking over. My eyes widen and I had to stop him, but before I could, he all ready went up. Damn it! I saw Maggie coming over.

"Ma!" I whispered. "He went up, come on hurry!" She nodded and we went up. Glenn looked frightened.

"You weren't suppose to see this." Maggie exclaimed.

"Promise us you won't tell anyone!" I said to him. Glenn didn't say anything.

When morning came, I sat with Carl and everyone outside eating breakfast. I just talked to Carl since I already ate. We started to hold hands and hug now and then. I looked up at Glenn and he was looking at the house. I tried to see what he was looking at and it was Maggie shaking her head. Is Glenn going to do it?

"Uh, guys...." Everyone looks up at Glenn. "So."

"Glenn don't you dare." I said to him, standing.

"The barn's full of walkers." They all stopped what they were doing, some looked at me.

"Glenn!" I yelled and ran to Maggie.

"Ma, he told them!" I hugged her, and cried. "What are we going to do? What if they don't like us anymore."

"Honey your exaggerating. Don't worry I'll take care of it okay!" We watched as they examined the barn, and then I went inside to tell Beth.

I haven't talked to Carl since that day, and we have avoided each other too. In the afternoon I was working, helping out with the farm, when Carl came in.

"What do you want?" I asked harshly moving on with things.

"I want to talk." He answers.

"About what Carl?" I asked yelling. "The barn?"

"No.....Well yes. Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.

"How could I tell you or anyone else. You guys would have done something!" Tears ran down my face. "You guys would have probably left." I took a deep breath, "Which meant you.....would have to leave me too!" I cried. Carl walked up to me and pulled me into a hug.

"I don't want to leave. I like it here, and once we find Sophia we'll all love it here." Carl says into my ear. I pulled away from the hug.

"Really?" He nodded. Slowly Carl kissed my cheek, and I closed my eyes. He leaned his forehead onto mine, and then he slowly planted his lips on mine. I kissed back and our lips moved in sync for a few minutes before we separated, catching our breaths. Then, all of a sudden we heard Shane yelling, making me jump. We ran out to where everyone was, the barn. I ran to Ma and Hershel, who was standing in front of her.

"Ma, what's going on?" I asked her panicking.

Shane was shooting the walker, but not in the head. While Rick was trying to talk some sense into Shane. Well actually they were yelling. "Shane, that's enough!" Rick yells.

"Yeah, Rick that is enough." Shane says as he walked straight up to the walker and shot it right in the head. The walker plopped down and Hershel went kneeling. Maggie was holding on to him with one hand on his shoulder, and the other holding me close. Shane opened the barn and 'they' all start came for us.

I see Maggie crying, and so was I. Not because I knew these people, but because I was frighted. After a while it seems like it ended, one more slowly came out. 

It was a little girl. 

Carol came running down. "Sophia." She was crying. "Sophia." Daryl stopped her from going any further. I turned to look at Carl, he was really hoping of finding her. He was crying into his mother's arms. Rick was the only one who went up to Sophia and shot her down.

I looked up at Maggie, they were going to have to leave. Especially Shane.
