Dreams become Reality: Book Two in the Carl Grimes Series

Chapter 20

He looks up at me his blue eyes, bloodshot.

"We are almost there baby. Hold on."

I see his tear filled eyes.

"I'm not gonna make it Molly."

"Carl, don't say that."

"It's true."

I wipe a tear from his eye. How could he be saying this? Carl, the boy who taught me everything I could know, things my dad couldn't teach me without beating the shit out of me. I felt a warm stream of tears stroll down my face.

"Don't cry."

He brings his finger to my face, wiping the stream away.

"'l'll miss you." He says, putting his lips to my cheek.

He kisses me one last time. I look over at Shane, who is crying his eyes out.

"RICK! HURRY! CARL ISNT ANSWERING!"

Rick speeds up quickly. We get to the hospital and Rick takes Carl out of my lap and runs as fast as he can. What if that was the last time?

-

I sat there in the car. Lori had left a few minutes ago, leaving Shane and I.

"So, what exactly happened?" He looked up at me, I didn't look up.

"Carl and I were on a walk. We ran into Arthur on the way there. He was bringing a body bag to the dumpster. He saw us. Carl picked me up, running as fast as he could. But Arthur grabbed him, Carl dropped me, knocking me out. I woke up in a hospital bed. I had a feeling this hospital was his evil lare but back to the story. Carl wasn't in the room with me. My side ached badly because of the fall. He comes barging in with a knife up to Carl's neck. He was crying. I sacrifce myself for him. Arthur takes me to a torture chamber, kicking, slapping, and punching me till I was bloody. He straps me to a chair, slapping me again. A few minutes later, he brings in Carl, bloody, bruised. He straps Carl to the chair. I get out of the tape and get Carl out. I carry him out, unconcious. We run into Arthur and his henchmen. I attempt to stab him but when I try, I hear a cry. I look back to see Carl getting stabbed. I run up to Arthur and stab the shit out of him in the neck. Then in the head.  His henchmen cries and begs for mercy but I stab him in the head. I carry Carl to our house and I'm here now."

"Watch your mouth, Sunshine."

"Hey. I'm fifteen. I think I can make my own decisions. Your not my dad."

"I sure as hell am better then your dad."

"Yeah." I sniffle, pulling Shane into a imbrace.

I hold him for a few seconds and jump out of the car, ready for anything.

-

I run into the hospital, the floor cold on my barefeet. I run up to the desk with a lady on a phone is.

"Grimes? Where is Carl Grimes?"

She puts a hand on the phone.

"Down the hall, room number 67."

"Thank you." 

I rush down to the room but Rick stops me in the doorway. I hear Carl's muffled cries. I felt tears in my eyes.

"You can't go in there."

"WHY? HE'S MY BOYFRIEND FOR GODSAKE!"

"Sh, Molly. He needs to get surgery and they are testing him. It will be awhile. We should-"

"WE SHOULD FUCKING STAY HERE. IM NOT LEAVING HIM. EVERYTIME I LEAVE HIM, SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS! RICK PLEASE!"

I cry into his shoulder.
