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

Chapter 7: Making a Home

Peyton's POV

Everyone was awake now. Rick had a group to go with him to close the next fence that was open. He was getting everyone ready. He chose to take T-Dog, Daryl, Glenn, and Maggie. Before they left I stopped and talked to them. 

"Mom and Glenn, please be careful!" They both hugged me.

"We will and you be careful too." I nodded and they left and went into formation. I went next to Carl and we were yelling at the walker to get their attention and we would pop them in the head through the holes on the fence.

Once we killed the rest of the walkers Rick and the others went inside. When they came back we all brought our stuff and went inside.

"What do you think?" Rick asked

"Home sweet home." Glenn said.

"For the time being." Rick confirmed.

"Is it secure?" Carol asked.

"This cell block is." 

We went to look for a cell to stay in. Carl and I picked one together.

"This one looks fine." I said to him, he nodded. After awhile we all just relaxed for the day. I hugged Carl from behind, and put my head on his shoulder. He turned around and hugged me back. "I love you." I said to him.

"I love you too." He said then kissed me on the cheek. Afterwards we fell asleep on the bottom bunk.

The Next Day 

Rick, T, Maggie, Glenn, Daryl, and Hershel went to find the cafeteria, and another room I don't remember. Carl was a little disappointed that he couldn't go, but he was still in charge of watching and locking the door. After a while when we were still waiting for them, we heard yelling.

"Open the door!"

"It's Hershel!" Carl unlocked the door, and it really was Hershel. Before I knew it there were tears falling from my eyes.

"Is he going to die?" I heard Beth ask.

"No....He going to be just fine." Lori answered her. While we were in the cell we heard more yelling.

"What was that?"

"Survivors. Prisoners. I'll handle it." Rick left the room and Carl lock the door behind him. I ran up to my cell and Carl came up right behind me.

"What if he dies? What are we going to do?" I cried in my hands. Carl sat beside me, and rubbed my back.

"It's going to be okay. He going to make it." I hugged him, and he kissed my cheek. I told Carl I was going to look for Maggie, and he nodded. I found Maggie hugging Glenn. Basically saying the exact same thing as me.

"Mom." She turned to me. Her eyes all red and puffy. I hugged, crying. "He's going to make it." Maggie stopped hugging me and went down to her knees the be leveled with me, and put on of her hands on my face and the other on my shoulder.

She sniffled then said, "I don't want you to get you hopes up to high."

I shook my head. "We need to. To think positive. That's the only way we can go on with this." I explained to her. She hugged, and kissed my forehead.

 Time passed by and Hershel was awake. I went to meet Glenn in the guard tower. 

"Hey."

"Hey do you need something?" He asked me.

"No, not really."

"Okay... So, how have you been?"

"I'm good." Oh my gosh this is so awkward. I need to just ask him. "Um.... Glenn. Can I ask you something?"

"Uh.... Yeah sure. What is it?"

"Um... Do you think it would be okay if I.... Um... started to call you dad?" I asked him, and he looked surprised at me.

"Uh... What made you want to? I mean I don't mind."

"It's cause you and Maggie are really close and you act like a dad to me. And I even think of you like a dad."

"Well, I don't mind if you call me dad. I'd actually be happy if you did." I smiled.

"Oh, but it might take me a while to actually start calling you dad. I mean it took me a while to start calling Maggie mom..." I paused and added something. "Again."

"Again? What happened?"

"Um... Well we had family problems going on."

He nodded. "Okay. Well, you take your time." I nodded and hugged him.

"I'm gonna go." I told him.

"Okay." 

I walked away. Thinking. I have to keep my past a secret, I can't let them know about my search for my father. Once I find him, he going to wish he never left my mom. I just have to keep my past away from them and eveything will be fine.

I went to my cell and Carl was sleeping in bed. I smiled and went up to him. 'I'm sorry I'm keeping something from you.'

A tear fell down my face.

'When we already promised no secrets. But no matter what happens you have to know I will always love you and only you.' I said all that in my head. I kissed him forehead and went to sleep. But who would have known that tomorrow would be the time for all of us. Especially Carl and Rick.
