Divided Destiny: A Rick Grimes Love Story

Chapter 1

There were mere days before the trip and nothing was together, not one bag was filled with food or any clothing were packed. Except yours, of course.

Jessica and Carl were never seperated, which made it hard when trying to get them to pack things. 

"But I don't wana go." Jessica would cry. 

You would send her to her room and make her pack clothes. You are finished packing, since you hadn't owned much since the beginning. Plus, Rick offered to take you out on a run. The idea excited you. The days before a run always left at least one adult alone with Carl and Jessica. Today it was you. 

Carl sat on the couch, reading a comic while Jessica was playing with her barbies on the floor. He was always glued to his comic books, nothing would tare his attention from them. Maybe, occationally, he would play with Jessica, but that wasn't often. 

"Carl, are you done packing?" you asked. 

He nodded his head towards his room. You looked suspisiously at him as you stalked off in the direction of his room. His garbage bags full of his thing lay scattered around the room, some bulging and spilling over. His walls were bare and the bed was stripped. Nothing was on the floor, and when you looked, nothing was in the drawers. 

You smiled over at Carl with a proud grin, then walked over to Jessica's room. It was the complete opposite. Her toys and clothes strayed across the room, the bed wasn't made and her closet held her clothes. 

A deep sigh escaped your throar, "Jessie! Come clean your room!"

She would reply no and keep playing. Paying no mind to you and your demanding eyes.

"Ill take away your Barbies!" You threaten. 

Jessica's little feet slam on the ground as she comes sprinting towards her room. She slides into her room and starts to put things in their places, throwing clothes and toys carelessly into bags. You pat her head and walk off, praying that she does as shes told.
