Lost in Oblivion..(Dixon Sister/Carl Grimes fanfic) [[DISCONTINUED]]

Chapter 16:

~Third person P.O.V~

As a day goes by, Rick tells Hershel and Daryl about what actually happened in the meeting making the Dixon almost want to rip his head off for saying that the Governor wanted his little sister. While they were talking, Nicole was inside the prison still pissed off about yesterdays meeting that her eyes are still bloodshot. ' I can't go back woodbury..' Those words kept playing around in her head as she got ready for a day's work.

Last night Nicole moved out of her brothers ledge and got everything in order in her new cell. When a knock came from the doorway. Nicole turned away. "What." She asked, "Nic..?" The voice questioned. Nicole knew who it was so she kept her gaze on the ground. "What do you want Carl?" She asked as the cowboy walked towards her. "You seemed off ever since you got back yesterday.. are you ok-" "I'm f-fine!" Nicole stuttered, interrupting him as she grabbed her shoes. Just before she could put them on Carl grabbed her shoulder turning her to face him. "I can tell that your not.." Nicole looked up to the ocean eye'd boy with her teary eyes. " What's wrong?" He asked as Nicole just gave him a hug. "Everything.. this group.. the governor.. It's all just.. just.." Nicole was lost for words as everything started to pour out of her mouth. Every detail. Everything that the governor said along with Rick but she didn't say anything about the deal. If anything, it was to much for Carl to take in. So he just kept quiet as he held the poor Dixon as she cries.

After a few minutes Nicole backed away from the hug. "C-Carl..Thanks.." She mumbled. Carl just smiled stating "No problem Nicole.. If anything I'm glad you told me that.." Nicole looked at him remembering that smile.. the smile that made her happy when she was down.. the smile that he used for when he pulled a prank on her and her brothers saying that they were quote on quote 'dating'... the smile that made her think about breaking down her walls.. 

"Hey Carl..?" She asked the boy. "Yes Nicole?" Carl spoke "Can I ask you a question?" "Sure what is it Nic?" Carl asked. "What do you think of me? Be honest." Nicole asked the cowboy. "Well.. your many things. Your nice and sweet when you're in a good mood. Your a strong girl and extremely stubborn at times. You have a temper like your brothers but your more calmer at times. You are an amazing shot with your crossbow, and You have the most beautiful voice..." He paused trying to think of more things to say. "Anything else?" "Oh your my best friend too." Those words made Nicole's heart sink. "Just friends..?" She mumbled. "Yeah what else would we be?" Carl asked. " Well I just.." Nicole started before stopping shaking her head getting up "Never mind.. forget it.." Carl looked at her, confused as she got up grabbing her things in the process before walking to her cell door. "Nicole wa-" "No, it's okay Carl.." Her back was turned to him. "I get it.. Its the Apocalypse.. " She paused, "I'm just stupid for getting my hopes up.." Carl quickly got up walking towards her. "What do you mean Nicole?" She shook her head. "Tsk.. Its nothing.. I gotta go.." She says walking out leaving the grimes confused as hell.

~Nicole's P.O.V~

'I'm such an idiot.. I knew that he didn't like me like that.. he was probably joking with me the whole time..' I thought as I walked towards the outside of the prison I noticed everyone doing something to prevent the governor from coming inside. I ignored it all as I started to find a few things to use as target practice.

After a while of walking around I found a few bits of wood here and there so I placed it a few feet in front of me in different areas. As I was about to take out my crossbow I hear my name being called from my oldest brother. "What is it Merle." "There's a small breach in the building that I need help with Nic." I shook my head "Why not get Daryl or Glenn to help ya?" "They are busy with other things and since your the only one available, I need ya." "Tch, fine. Show me where it is bro." I spoke grabbing my things. Merle then turned around as I followed shortly behind him.
