Mature Hearts (Carl Grimes Love Story)

Cuts And Bruises

•Jayden's POV•

I was walking in the woods with my Swabbie in my hand, and my leather bag on my back. Inside the bag there's clothes and a handgun along with some bullets. I was all out of food, so I was starving.

I kept walking and I couldn't believe what I saw, it was a river. I reached into my bag and pulled out a water bottle, I quickly bent down and filled the bottle with water and took a drink, it felt refreshing because it's been days since I have eaten or drink anything.

I stepped on some rocks that were on the middle of the river. The only thing I could hear was the water flowing, birds chirping and Walkers moaning. I kept walking but I tripped over something. I looked at my leg and blood was making its way down.

I looked to see what cut me and saw that it was an arrow sticking out of the group.

'Must be a trap for the Walkers' I thought

I got up and turned around but tripped again, this time over a rock. I hit my on a chunk of wood, my vision got blurry and then back to normal.

A second later I touched my head and it was throbbing on the top where my hair line is. It started bleeding but I got up and kept going, it started to get hard for me to walk.

The next thing I know is I collapsed.

•Daryl's POV•

I walked out of the prison pissed that I couldn't get any privacy with everyone from Woodbury here, so I decided to go on a little walk through the woods, to get a little privacy and time to myself.

Halfway through the woods I hear groaning but it's probably just a walker, then I hear someone cursing. I follow the persons voice, I looked by the river and see a girl who doesn't seem older than 13 or 14, she was struggling to get on her feet but falls back down.

"Need some help?"

She turned towards me and pulled out her rare looking sword thing.

"Who are you?" The struggling girl asked me

"My name's Daryl, do you need help?"

She looked looked pretty banged up, her leg was covered with blood from a cut and her head was bleeding as well.

"You're not gonna kill me?"

"Why would I kill you? I wanna take you to shelter and get those cuts cleaned up"

"Well I can't get up, mind helping me?"

I walked over to her an pick her and throw her over my shoulder, she put her weapon away and started to relax.

•Jayden's POV•

I was hanging on Daryl's shoulder, in an awkward silence, so I decided to start a conversation.

"My name's Jayden, by the way"

"Pretty name, where's your family?" He asked

"What family?, my mom abandoned me and my dad left when I was a baby, all the family I had was my best friend but she died"

It isn't a sad story, I don't like being sad and I hate crying, it makes me feel weird.

"Sad story...I'm sorry"

"It's not really sad, I don't know my parent much, my mom and I never got along, so I don't care"

We arrived at a prison and it was filled with people who were playing and laughing like the world hasn't gone to shot. A woman with short grey hair opened the gate for Daryl, who was still holding me on his right shoulder, the woman smiled at me so I returned the smile.

"That's Carol" Daryl said pretty much answering my question before I could ask.

"She seems sweet"

"Too sweet, but she's a good person" I smirked at his comment about Carol being sweet, he reminds me of myself, walking to the prison doors I got looked from a bunch of people, bit I shrugged it off.

We came inside and the temperature got a bit more colder, it felt pretty good, I was let down by Daryl and my butt hit the seat in which I was now sitting in now.

A bunch of people looked at me and Daryl, it got a little awkward.

"Where's Hershel?" Daryl asked

"Cleaning up a girls cuts in his cell and whose this?" An Asian looking boy asked

"This is Jayden, I found her in the woods, she is bruised up a bit, we gotta clean up her cuts"

I was, again, lifted by Daryl and carried into a cell and sat on a bed, in front of me was an old man cleaning his tools.

Daryl explained to Hershel what happened and he began to clean my cuts and bruises, he wrapped a strap around my arm and pinned it together to get my cut away from germs.

After that was done, Daryl showed me around the place.

This chapter was longer than expected.

Anyways, I think this chapter is pointless.
