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

Chapter 17: I Found You!..... or not...

Peyton's POV

 I wake on a couch and no one was with me. "Jay?" No answer. I got up off the couch and went to the door. Ouch, I started to feel a sharp pain on my side again. I walked outside with my hand pressed against my side. I kept walking around until I heard a mild scream, following the sound I saw a boy with a being squashed by two walkers and a third one was getting closer to him. I grabbed my gun and shot it down, I ran over to the boy to help him up, but by the time I got to him he already was out and on his feet. Then, it came to me that hat! "Carl?" He looks up at me and his eye widen.

"Pey? Oh my gosh Pey I found you!" He said running over to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I flinched. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

"No it's not your fault, it was my dad's he accidentally stabbed me." I lifted my shirt to show him.

"This is all my fault, I was supposed to be there to protect you." I smiled and hugged him.

"It's not your fault, I love you though. I love that you want to take care of me and stay with me, but you can't control what is going to happen next." He just nods. We continued talking as we walked to where he was staying. We walked up to one of the rooms in the house and sat on the bed. We were in silence for a bit then Carl spoke up.

"I thought I lost you. The prison is ruined and everyone was separated, and when I was looking for you, you weren't there. I was left with my dad and I don't know if Judith is even alive. I thought you were gone too." I sighed and turn.

"You'll never lose me, not without a fight." I said as I pulled him into a kiss. He kissed back and lies me down on the bed and get on top of me. "Carl." I breathe.

"What?"

"Your dad... What if he hears?"

"Don't worry he's sleeping." He says kissing me again. I pulled out of the kiss again.

"Sleeping? Your dad would never leave you by yourself out there." Carl sighs and sits up again.

"I don't know actually he hasn't woken up yet. Your dad beat him up pretty badly."

"Wait.... My dad? Does that mean you saw what happened to my dad?" He nods. "Where is he?"

"Dead." I widen my eyes. 

"What?" He nods again and wraps his arms around me. I start crying on his shoulder.

"Please don't cry, you have me. If I'm not enough then you have everyone who use to be at the prison." I chuckled at his answer as he wiped some of my tears.

"You're more than enough." I sniffled trying to stop crying. Then, Carl lies me down on the bed and gets on top. He leans in slowly and kisses my lips then moves to cheek, and to my neck. "C-Carl." I moaned.

"What?" He breathes.

"You know I love you."

"I love you too." 

"But, we are still to young." He sighed and sits up again. "Carl, listen to me. You know I love you and only you! Nothing going to change that." I put his face in between my hands. "Just... be patient." I say then kiss him on the lips. He nods and I get up. "Come on let's check on your dad." We walk into the living room hand-in-hand and I go look at his dad. "Oh no this isn't good. We need to find Jessie, she can help."

"Jessie? Your friend from Woodbury?"

I nod, "Yup she's the one who fixed me up. Come on."

"Okay, so where you guys staying?"

"You probably won't believe this, but we are staying 3 houses down from here."  

"Really? That's probably why I saw two people walking by a few nights ago." He answers as we walk to the house.
