It's been about 2 months since Walkers got inside the walls and Carl got shoot. Everything is all cleaned up and Carl is back on his feet. It took him about 2 weeks to actually wake up but he kept squeezing our hands so we knew he is going to be okay. Right now I'm in mine and Carl's room, I'm getting ready he's throwing a tennis ball against the wall when I walk out of the bathroom.

"Why exactly are you doing that" I ask him

"PT that's what Denise said" he tells me

I walk over to him he leaned down and kisses me and goes back to throwing the ball against the wall. I roll my eyes.

"Carl" we hear Michonne say

"What? Denise says this is PT" he says

"I can't hear you. Come on out" Rick says

Carl rolls his eye and walks out of the room. I follow him.

"What?"

"Denise says this is PT" Rick and Carl say at the same time

"You heard me" Carl says

"Yeah" Rick says

"It's time to change your bandage" Michonne says "and I need to barrow some toothpaste"

"Okay but we're out of toothpaste" Carl says and tosses the call to Rick. "Bye dad"

"I'll see you later"

Carl grabs my hand and we go downstairs. We see Rick leave then Michonne coming downstairs to change Carl's bandage. We then leave to go meet up with Enid.

When we do we climb over the wall and into the woods. I hold onto Carl's hand as we walk and Enid walks in front of us. Ever since Carl got shot I feel like if I let go of him I will loose him and that's the thing I'm most scared about.

"Look" Enid says and goes to pick something up. It's a balloon with a note or something attached.

"What's it say" Carl ask

"It got wet. It's all gone" Enid answers

"Come on" Carl says and pulls on my hand.

"It doesn't look that old. I mean we can't read what they wrote, but by doing this, they're saying something"

"What"

"We're not alone" I answer for Enid

"We knew that we saw it. People died" Carl says

"Why are we coming out here?" Enid ask as we continue to walk.

"We're kids" I say "aren't we supposed to do that"

"We're not kids" Enid sighs

"Mentally but physically we are" I say back to her

She sighs again and we keep on walking. Carl slips his hand out from mine and wipes it on his jeans because it got sweaty then grabs it again. We he grabs it again I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. He looks at me in a concerned way and I smile and we continue walking.

We get to this stop where we sit and read comics. I lay my head on Carl's shoulder and read over it. Enid is next to me reading and hands me and Carl snacks. We hear rustling in the trees and we all look up. We get up and go to hide behind the tree behind us when Carl starts walking towards the brush with his gun out.

"It was just Michonne and Spencer" he says and walks back over to us.

"What were they doing" I ask

"Walking. I don't know"

He sits back down and picks up his comic book to read. I look over at Enid who's just standing by the tree then back at Carl.

"I don't want to come out here anymore" Enid says

Carl gets up and puts the comics and snacks back into this metal box and places his hat back onto his head. He starts walking away me and Enid following.

We see a walker and Carl takes out his knife to kill it.

"Carl" I say

"Michonne's out here. I'm not leaving it" he says.

He whistles to get its attention. When it turns around we all sees it's face.

"Hey, come on" Carl calls it over

"What are you doing" Enid ask

"Come on"

"Carl what are you doing" I ask

"Just go" He says

"We should kill it" Enid says

"Go home"

"This is bullshit. It should be dead"

Enid walks up to kill it and Carl grabs onto her arm and she turns around.

"Let go" Enid says

"Just leave" Carl says

The walker comes up behind and Enid and grabs onto her. Carl pushes the walker down and Enid out of the way.

"We're not killing it" Carl says

"What hell is wrong with you" Enid says

"You wouldn't understand. You don't want to be out here. You said it. So go home"

Enid leaves and I walk up to Carl and place my hand on his shoulder. I get what he means by she wouldn't understand. He lost his mom and this walker was Deanna and Spencer should be the one to kill her.

"Carl" I say

"Lilly just go"Carl says

"No Car-"

"Lilly just go home I'll be there soon please just go home"

I sigh and turn around to go home. When I get there I go into the house. I walk upstairs into mine and Carl's room. I place my knife and gun onto the bedside table and lay down. Carl comes home he comes in the room and leaves without saying anything to me.

He comes back in later with Judith in his arms. He smiles at me then what I assume to go out Judith to bed and comes back in. I sit up on the bed.

"Carl are you alright" I ask

"I'm fine" he says he grabs pajamas and goes to change in the bathroom and comes back out and sits next to me. He kisses my temple and lays down.

"Carl" I say

"What" Carl says and looks over at me.

"What happened out there"

"Don't worry about it okay"

"Carl I can't help but worry. Ever since you got shot I feel like you will just slip through my hands and I will loose you and I don't want to loose you"

Tears form in my eyes and I look at Carl. He sits up and wraps his arms around me.

"I didn't know you felt like that, why didn't you tell me" Carl says

"I don't know I just, I don't know"

I look up at Carl and he leans down and kisses me. One of my hands reach up and find his neck and pull him to me. We fall on to the bed where Carl climbs on top of me. I run my fingers through his hair.

"We should stop before your dad walks in" I say when I pull away.

"You're right" he says

He gets off from on top of me and lays down. He wraps his arm around me and we fall asleep.
