Too Far Gone // Carl Grimes

Chapter 14

So sorry I haven't been updating! I got my IPod taken for my grades. But, I have it back now, so here's chapter 14:)

I could hear moving in the next room. The wind was blowing very faintly and it was pretty dark outside for it to only be 11am. There mustv been a storm coming.

I set my hand on the doorknob. I twisted it and threw my bow up. My eyes darted around till I caught sight of a boy my age.

"C-Carl" I stuttered out as he lowered that silenced gun i had loved so much. I held my bow to my side as a tear rolled down my cheek.

He opened his arms welcoming me in. I ran over to him and hugged him tightly. We held on to each other for what felt like hours. Damn I wish it was hours. He pulled back and cupped my fave with his hands. "No, no please don't cry." He begged as he wiped tears with his thumb. I smiled and giggled. He slid away from my face and placed it behind my neck, pulling me slowly to him. He had that stupid smirk plastered on his face. Not that I don't love it. I LOVE IT! As soon as our lips met i got tingles everywhere. Our lips moved in sync like it was my missing puzzle piece. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I smiled against his lips. Then his did.

Just as the kiss was getting heated Michonne came in the room. She cleared her throught. I pulled away from his lips but kept my arms wrapped around him and laid my head against his chest, smiling like a idiot. He set his chin on my head as I giggled as she smirked at us. "DARYL COME LOOK AT YOUR DAUGHTER!" Michonne shouted to my dad from the bedroom. I giggled again as dad ran up the stairs.

"Michonne, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly. She nodded her head towards us. I squeezed him tighter as dad watched with a smirk that matched Michonnes. Beth ran up and stood behind them. "I love you." I muttered into his chest. "Love you to" he smiled kissing my forehead. "Okay, come on guys, we need to get back to your dad." Daddy instructed as Carl wrapped an arm around my waist and we walked downstairs.

I leaned my head in his shoulder and smirked. I decided I tease him a bit. I tugged on the hem of his shirt a bit. He looked at me curiously. I kissed his bare neck and took his arm off my waist. I walked beside him with a satisfied smirk plastered on my face. "Typical girl." I heard Beth scoff from behind me. I reached over and entwined my fingers with his. I sent him a smile, which he returned, and we continued walking.

"Ok, gather your things," everyone, including me, picked up their things. "Ok so, it's just a little ways through the woods. We should be able to get back without a problem." Carl said calmly. I walked over and laced our fingers together again. He opened the door and led us to wherever the hell we were going.

"So how's Rick?" Michonne asked with just a little worry written in her voice. Carl sighed, "he's ok" he muttered. It sounded like he was unsure. Michonne could tell he was holding back. She let it slide though.

We all walked in silence.

Soon enough we came across an old wooden cabin. Carl opened the door quickly, holding it open for us. I smiled and sat my things down. "So, where do I sleep?" I asked Carl like it was my first time with this group. It reminded me of the first time I got here. I smiled at the memory.

"Follow me." He said under his breath as he took the hunting gear bag off my shoulders. He threw it over his shoulder like I ha it and made his way up the stairs. We walked down a long hallway. When we got to the last door he stopped and turned to me. "You don't have to if you don't want to." Before I had a chance to answer he was opening the door.

He walked in and threw my bag in the corner. "You and me will be sleeping here. Then your d-" I cut him off. "Wait! You and me." He shyly smiled. That's why he said that. "Yea, I want to." I smirked. He smiled excitedly.

"Your dad will sleep in one of the other guest bedrooms down the hall. My dad will sleep on the couch like he's been doing. Beth will get the teenage girls room. An Michonne has the teenage boys room. I think they were twins." Carl explained. "Wait a second. Why didn't you pick the teenage boys room?" I asked with curiosity. "I just like the big bedroom." He smile. 'Yea more like the big bed.' I smiled at my perverted thought. "What are you smiling at?" He asked with a smirk. "N-nothing." i stuttered. "Mhm. Now you wanna go check on dad or your dad or someone cause there's no tellin what they think we're doing." He said as he walked up to me. He entwined my fingers with his as we walked downstairs. He put the back of my hand to his lips and softly kissed the surface. Kissed his cheek and muttered, "I love you" against it. He smiled as his reply as we walked in the living room area.

"Is he ok?" I asked as Beth checked on him. I guess Hershel had taught her a few things.

Awww I miss Hershel.

He always had something nice today. I smiled.

He was the nicest man ever. Hey I Wonder if-

My thoughts were cut of by someone waving their hand in my face. "What huh?!" I snapped out of Tai Tai land and back into this nightmare. "Your dad asked you if you wanted to go on a run with me. I suggested by myself but he wouldn't let me go alone. Are you coming or not?" Carl asked me. "Yea, ill come. When?" I asked cluelessly. "Tomorrow morning. Ill wake you up." I nodded and walked to the kitchen.

There were only a few things under the counter. Mostly just canned veggies that we would have to suffer to eat. What? Just cause I had to grow up fast doesn't mean I like the things grown ups like! I hate vegetables.

The rest of the day went by quickly. Nothing interesting. Just a bunch of chores and shit being done by me and Beth.

It's SO awkward. We don't even look at each other.

But now it was time to get to bed. I walked up the stairs and opened the door. Carl was only in his boxers and t-shirt. I let out a little squeak kinda sound as his head snapped towards me. I covered my eyes quickly. "Fucking shit, Carl!" I muttered as I backed out of the door and closed it. "Tell me when your done." I said on the other side. "Done" he said. I opened up the door and he had put pants on, but he had his shirt off. "Carl, where's your shirt?" I asked calmly. "I sleep without one." He smirked. I felt my cheeks burning up. Dammit I'm blushing!

I smiled and walked over to 'my side' of the bed. Carl claimed the left side. He's crazy. I pulled up the thin blanket and climbed under. He climbed under soon after and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Goodnight. I love you." I sighed snuggling up into his chest. He placed a couple kisses on my knock and them chuckled. "Goodnight. Love you too."
