Dreams become Reality: Book Two in the Carl Grimes Series

Chapter 15

"Oh Molly. I'm so sorry."

I pull him closer, crying a tad bit.

"It's alright." He puts his hand on my head, pulling strands of hair to the side of my shoulder.

I pull him out and look at him for a second. I continue to walk down the hall, strutting down the stairs. I hear Carl's boots following me. I see Lori and Rick, pretty close together, in the kitchen.

"Woah there, I'm right here."

They pull apart and look over at me, laughing.

"Sorry, didn't see you." Lori pushes a piece of hair from her face.

She goes back to the stove with pancakes, burning in the pan. Great, it was Sunday, burnt pancake day. I look behind me to see Carl's chin on my shoulder, he pecked my cheek.

"Morning beautiful."

"Morning Grimes."

I heard a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it. I see Shane in the doorway, wearing a blue plaid shirt, jeans, and olden day shoes. I look up at his eyes, sparkling from the morning sun.

"Morning sunshine." He bends down and kisses my hand, making me blush.

"Morning Shane, did you come for the burnt pancakes?"

"HEY, I HEARD THAT." Lori yelled from the kitchen.

Carl chuckled from behind us and came up next to me, walking over to Shane.

I heard them talking, actually whispering.

"Did they work?"

I walk away, my face red. I knew what they were talking about. I plug my nose with my fingers, inhaling the smoky burned pancakes.

"You burnt those pancakes enough?" I smile at Lori.

"You guys can just cook your own." She laughs, handing me the spatula.

"Your not joking? Okay." I laugh and go to the burnt pancakes.

I pry them off of the pan and throw them into the garbage. I go to the batter next to the stove and pour enough in to make a perfect pancake. The pan sizzles, attracting Carl and Shane to the smell.

"Look who's taken over." Shane throws his arms in the air.

I smile at him and flip the pancake, showing the golden brown pancake. I get a round of applause from Rick, Shane, Lori, and Carl.

"Have you guys really not seen a perfect pancakes?"

I flip it over again, Carl bringing me a plate. I place it on the plate and he takes it over to his mom. She puts blueberry syrup all over it and takes her fork to it, taking a large bite.

"Yum, I think your the new Sunday pancake manager." She gives me a highfive.

I look over at Shane, he gives me a small smile and I go back to making pancakes for the group.

After I make a few dozen pancakes for the group, Shane pulls me to the porch.

"What do you want now Shane?"

"Carl told me what he did."

"It's not a big deal."

"It kinda is."

"Why the hell did you give him condoms? WE ARE FIFTEEN!"

"He asked for them. He wanted to suprise you or something."

I blush and look at my feet.

"Oh. Well, I'm sorry." I pulled him into a hug.

I smell cologne off of his shirt and inhale his smell. I pull out after a few seconds and pat his thigh.

"Come on, you gotta come have my famous pancakes."

I smile bringing him into the kitchen. We had a special dining room for Sundays. I bring the pancakes, syrups, silverware, and glasses to the table. When walking back into the kitchen, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I look back to see Carl, smiling really wide.

"Hello handsome." I smile pecking his chin, that was in my shoulder.

"Your my universe." He pulls out of my shoulder.

"Awh. Carl." I pull him back, pulling his head to my shoulder.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you too."

I pull him away, handing him a jug of OJ and one of Milk.

"Take this to the table for me baby?"

"Of course." He walks off to the dining room and I lean up against the counter.

What am I gonna do? So many things were going through my mind. Was I going to get the blood to my aunt in time? Was I her bloodtype?

These questions raced through my mind. I couldn't think straight. I closed my eyes, imagining my aunt in a hospital bed. But Arthur was ontop of her, hurting her more. She bled out. 

"Molly?"

I opened my eyes to see a frightened Carl, waving his hand infront of my face.

"Sorry, what were you saying?"

"Time to eat."
