Walkers Can't Climb (The Walking Dead/Carl)

Walkers Can't Climb

2 years.

We decided to camp out on the ground tonight. The night was a bit chilly so we decided to make a fire, and you can't exactly make fires on trees.

"Hey Lilly, remember when we really wanted to go to America together," I chuckle, "Well, now we're here."
"Sadie, I'm going back North."
"What." The mood was suddenly serious.

"I'm going back North."
"But, we need to stick together or, who knows what will happen!"
"I know what will happen."
"What, some sort of a Romeo will come and save you? And he will have a cure and everything will be back to normal?" I say, sarcastically.
"No." She lets out a heavy sigh. "We'll go out separate ways, avoiding city's, climbing trees, maybe, we'll even find groups.

"Well, I guess you can leave in the morning. I'll stay here for a week, to see if you'll change your mind and go back."
"That'll be a week wasted for you."

I avoid looking at her. I stare at the fire as it dances. It seems to be the only thing bright and happy, these days.
She leaves early in the morning, before I even wake up. She left behind a note.

'Hey Sadie,
If you couldn't tell, I'm gone. I'm going North and I promise you, I won't be back. Wanna know why I really left? You're an idiot. You have no idea where you're going. You just keep on dragging me more and more south. You're just desperate to get back to San Francisco, where you were born. I think that you're just being stupid and desperate. We should've been going North this whole damn time! The walkers freeze in the snow! Right? But what are you doing, going south. Well, I hope you and your shitty tactics won't get far.
With hatred,
Your former friend,
Lilly 💔
Ps. I lost people too, am I complaining?

Her cruel words just left me confused. And furious. What the Hell is she going to do without me? Go 'home' where everyone is dead? Find another group of hungry human eating freaks? That are still alive? She doesn't even have a weapon except for the two knives I gave her. She's as good as dead.

Wait, what about me? I'm a social person! I can't be alone! I need someone! What am I supposed to do? I need supplies and food! I should've went with her, she was right.

One day went by, then two, then three, sooner or later, a week passed. So I waited some more. Lilly was gone. I took everything I had, and left, once again, going south.
