Too Far Gone // Carl Grimes

Chapter 11

•Chapter 11•
It had been 1 week. 1, long...cold, week with Michonne. Don't get me wrong i love Michonne. I look up to her as a role model. Shes so badass and awesome. But shes so quiet. I'm so.... Loud. We're so different. But we're both bad ass. Shes told me about her life as a lawyer and her dead boyfriend and her talking to him. I don't blame her. 'This world almost made me insane to' I said back to her.

All we do is walk, and walk, and walk, its so boring. All I can think about is Carl.

Carl.

Carl.

Carl.

When I said I loved That boy i meant it. I was willing to take a bullet for him, I'd die for him. He probably wouldn't die for a Dixon though. No one actually LOVES us except each other. All we have is each other. Us Dixons stick together. I guess the governor ruined that to. I still havent told Daddy what he did to me. Im not going to. Im gonna keep it a secret as long as i can. I miss my daddy so much. I miss Hershel, Rick, Glenn, Beth...Carl. It felt so right when we kissed...like it was suppost to happen. Wow, I sound like a little school girl.

"Hey Michonne?" I asked as we walked. "Hmm?" She hummed. "Where are we headed to?" I asked curiously for maybe the 100th time this week. "No tellin where were going. We're just walking. We had a plan to all head north, to the nearest town if this happened. Look for each other on the way." She explained for like the 100th time this week. I nodded my head. "Well, is that where were headed?" I asked. "Yea I guess." She said. We walked another 2 hours in silence. It was starting to get dark. "Why is this town so far away?" I asked getting aggervaited. "Because the nearest town is Woodbury and I don't think it's there no more! Is it?" Michonne snapped. "Sorry." I said hanging my head.

"Damn girl, your just like your dad, ya talk to much but ya sure are sweet inside." She exclaimed. "Ya like my daddy?!" I squeaked. "Now I never said that!" She muttered. "YES IV ALWAYS SHIPPED MICHARYL!" I said doing my happy dance. "Tailynn! We're to badass for each other we would explode!" She said. I laughed. "Yea I guess. I still ship it though." I giggled.

We walked silently until the sun was bout to go down. "Ok, you need to get some rest. We've been traveling for a week straight." Michonne offered.

I was in no shape to argue. All I wanted was to lay down in my bunk at the prison. O how I wanted that so bad. But know its gone. We had gotten caught up..thinkn we could be safe. From all the fear, death, we were stupid to think we could hold up in one place so long (im watching the episode where they find the prison while writing this). It was just the human brain doing what it does best:

Tricking us.

I sighed and climbed a tree. This was our usual routine; one of us climb a tree and sleep while the other takes watch. It was my night to sleep. Yes, we're taking nights. She would stay up one night while I stayed up the other. Most of the time I caint sleep, but I try.

I sighed and climb the tree carefully, placing my foot on the limbs. I hoisted my self up on a high branch and wrapped a rope around my body and the branch holding me up. I laid my head back against the trunk of the tree. I closed my eyes falling into a deep sleep filled with nightmares.

I ran through the woods, full sprint, tripping every so often on twigs or roots sticking out of the ground. I passed so many child hood memories running through here. A tear rolled down my cheek. Followed by many more. My breathing was heavy and shaky. I turned my head, trying to catch a glimpse of what I was running from. There was nothing behind me.

I stopped and stood looking behind me. Nothing was chasing me, there was no walker, no human, no animal. I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun around on my heels. 

There stood Carl Grimes. 

My one and only.

I stood there frozen as he put his finger under my chin, making our lips meet. They moved in sync together. I smiled against his lips as he kissed up and down my jaw line. He made it to my neck and immediately backed away. "C-Carl" I stutter over my words.

I tried to look into his eyes but he would look away. I lift his chin up like he did mine to be met with the eyes of a walker. I let out an ear piercing scream. He body shifts into that of a walkers.

I turn to run, but my dark green oversized hunters jacket gets caught on a branch. "Shit" I curse under my breath as walker Carl grabs my arm pulling it to his rotten teeth.

I squirm but I'm to late. The walker has already sunk its teeth into my arm. I quickly faint. Having the walker munch on my lifeless body.


I bolt up. Sweating bullets as Michonne sat down below me under the branch. "Nightmare again?" She asked in a sleepy tone. "Y-yeah, but this one w-was different." I stuttered trying to catch my voice.

"I was running, but I couldn't tell why. I turned and nothing was there." I continued, "Something..or someone, I'm not sure, tapped on my shoulder. When I turned around it was Carl. We had a little love fest." I whispered the last sentence, "Anyways, so Carl backed away. I lifted his chin up to look in his eyes and.. They were dead. The cold glare of a walker-" Michonne cut me off, "and in the end he bit you." She finished. I nodded felling tears full my eyes. I quickly blinked them away.

"So. What time do you think it is?" I asked her untying the rope and jumping down. "We'll judging," she paused, "Maybe 5:30, 6:00." I nodded. "Ok, well we need to get moving then." She nodded and we began eating for the walk ahead of us. I sighed and took a bite of my apple we had spared from an orchard on an old rundown farm.

I smiled at the memories of my friends from school. Most of my friends were boys. My parents trusted me to do the right thing. I smiled once again and tossed the rest on the ground. "I miss the old life. But at least here I'm not constantly getting bullied." I mumble very quietly but jut loud enough Michonne could hear. She sighed and tossed the rest of her apple down to.

I was bullied.

Everyday.

This one girl named Christina. She made my life a living hell. Though thats not saying much considering thats basically where we are right now. She would constantly be putting me in the nurses office. I went to the hospital once. Broken wrist. I remember she snapped my wrist while her 'friends' held me there.

If dad knew he would have put a stop to it. I told him that black eye was from a softball or that broke wrist was from a boy throwing a football to hard. I would go in my room and cry myself to sleep. I made it through though.

If I was like I am now, that girl would've been in the hospital ages ago. I hope she suffered a long, slow, painful death. My thoughts swirled around in my head as I heard a twig snap.

Michonne and I both jerked down behind a bush. She put a finger to her lips to shush me as a herd of walkers passed by us.
