Peyton's POV

 Rick woke up after a few hours and we talked for a while. "You really shouldn't have gone outside." I sat between Carl's legs and leaned back on his chest.

"But, I found Pey..." We suddenly heard a knock on the door. We all stood up and had our guns in ready position. Rick looks through the peep hole and smiles. "Dad? What is it?"

"It's for you." Carl and I look at each other then walk to the back door and see who it was. Michonne. 

"Michonne!"

A few hours passed and Carl and I sat in one of the bedrooms upstairs. Finally being alone. I sighed. "What's wrong?" He asked me.

"I'm just worried about Glenn and Maggie. I mean for all I know Glenn may still be sick, I mean I am still a little bit." Carl nods.

"Don't worry you know Glenn and Maggie won't leave each other. They're probably together right know looking for everyone." I started crying, surprising Carl. "Pey? Please don't cry." He tries to comfort me, putting his arms around my back.

"B-but what if Maggie doesn't want to be with me? What if it happens again where all of you ignored me.... What if I'm all alone again?!?!" I started panicking, breathing fast, short breaths.

"Pey calm down!" I stood up from the bed and paced around the room. "Pey please sit!" Carl tries to grab me, but that's when I broke. Sobbing, I yelled at him.

"No!! I don't want to! You're going to leave me all alone and ignore me like last time. Everyone is going to leave me to die! Please I don't want Maggie to leave me!! I can't have that again..... But she going to!! Be-" 

"Pey!"

I continued, "Because my stupid FATHER killed her dad, he killed Hershel! I bet you don't want me."

"Pey please calm down!" Carl finally grabs me and forces a hug. I didn't want him to leave me, so I stopped fighting it. I just sobbed falling to my knees and Carl follows. "I won't leave you ever. Not on purpose. You know how much I care about you." He slowly pulls my chin up so I would look at him. Carl wipes my the tears on my face though there were still more coming out. He slowly leans in and whispers. "I love you, and I always will." He then closes the gap between our lips, and we separate. I hugged him tightly, hiding my face into his shoulder.

"I love you too." I muffled into his shirt. I hear him giggle.

*    *    *

We lied on the bed like a couple would holding hands, and the women in the man's arms. Geez, relationships are hard. I felt safe in his arms, knowing he was there with me made me feel safe. I soon fell asleep, but then woke up to him shaking me softly.

"Pey?" I rubbed my eyes and looked at him. "I'm going to a quick run with Michonne. We're just going down to some houses." I nodded still felling tired, closing my eyes, and Carl kissed my forehead. "I'll be back soon." He walk off and I went back to sleep a little more. 

What feels like only 5 minutes, I hear yelling and cursing from people who don't sound like my group. Quickly, I got up and as silently as I could I went to Jessie, Matt, and Jay's room they were in. I woke them up. "Jessie! Hurry wake up." They quickly opened their eyes, and immediately hear what I was. We got up and got all our stuff together. "Jay, Matt I need you guys to help Rick out." They nodded and Jessie and I quietly went to look for an exit. We couldn't get anything to open so, we had to go through the back door. We waited for Matt and Jay for a few minutes and decided we would have to meet them outside. 

We all finally met sneaking at the front door steps where a guy was just sitting until he heard screaming, and ran in.  I turned to see Carl and Michonne slowly making their way to us. "We need to go now!" We ran over to them. "Carl run!" I said to them and they copied our movements.

A few hours passed and we stopped to rest. Jessie kept checking on my side to make sure nothing wrong happened. I sat next to Carl and he sighs. "What's wrong?" I whispered to him.

"Tired, I'm tired of running. I just wish no one got separated."

"It's my fault." I voice cracked. Carl looks at me.

"No it's not. Stop saying that. It wasn't your fault, you can't control other people. You can't control what's going to happen, and you know that." I just nod and lay my head on his.

*    *    *

I woke up later that same night and I woke Jessie up. "Peyton? What's wrong?"

"Let's go. We can't stay, not after what my dad did." She nods and we wake the boys up. "Jay can you help me please. My sides hurting again." I whispered.

"Yeah."

"Wait, before we go let's leave some stuff for Rick." I say. We kept our voices down and come ready to leave. "Goodbye Carl. I'm sorry this happened to you and everyone. But, one thing you can be sure of is that I will always need you and only you in my heart. Carl Grimes, your the love of my life. I love you." I say all of that in my head as we all turned and walked away form the three sleeping people.
