I'm Not Like Her

Alex's Point Of View

"Disoriented,"Dad said as he had his arm wrapped around Carl and I. " Fear, confusion all those things but Disoriented comes closest.Words can be meager things.Sometimes they fall short.I felt like I'd been ripped out of my life And put somewhere else.For a while I thought I was trapped In some coma dream, Something I might not wake up from ever." Dad finished. "Mom said you died." Carl whispered. "She had every right to believe that." Dad said. I ended up passing out on dad. I felt safe around dad. He was one of the only people I could trust.

I was talking to mom when I heard a scream. Not just any scream, Carl's scream. I looked to a path to see Carl and Sophia running up the hill. Carl saw me and ran into my arms. "Carl what's wrong?" I asked. "A walker it was close to Sophia and I." He said crying. I hugged him tightly and kissed his head. "You're okay Carl. You're still alive." I said . Soon Daryl was calling for his brother. I stood up and grabbed my gun. He three squirrels at my dad and I saw him pull a knife. I pulled out my gun and aimed it at him. "Don't fucking touch my dad Dixon." I said angirly. "Don't tell me what to do girly." He pushed me to the ground . "DON'T PUSH MY DAUGHTER AND MY GRANDCHILD." Dad shouted. Shane put him in a choke hold and Carl and mom looked at me. "You're pregnant?" Mom asked. I stayed quiet. "Alex answer me." She said angirly. I broke. "YES IM FUCKING PREGNANT AND GUESS WHAT I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS." I shouted. Everyone looked at me. "Fuck this shit." I said as I ran to the quarry.

I sighed and looked at my baby bump. What was I thinking? I'm four months pregnant I can't be doing this shit. It was quiet until I heard someone sit beside me. "I'm sorry for pushing you." The rough voice said. Its Daryl. "It's fine, it was my fault I shouldn't be doing shit like that since I'm pregnant." I said as I looked up at Daryl. "Your mom, she's pissed. She threw all your stuff outside. You can have my tent if you want." He offered. I shook my head. "I can't do that Daryl." "You can and you are, I'm not gonna let a pregnant woman sleep outside." He said looking down at me. "I'm not letting you sleep outside." My eyes met his. "I'll sleep in the tent with you." He replied while standing up. He put his hand where I could grab it and pulled me up. "Thanks Dixon." "No problem Grimes." When we walked back to camp I saw all my stuff outside of the tent. "Wanna help?" I asked. He nodded. We walked over and mom just glared at me. We moved it to Daryl's tent when we heard a car horn. "What are they doing?" "I'm fixing to go find my brother with your dad." He said. "Take care of him." I said. He nodded. "Hope you find your brother Dixon." "Me too Grimes."
