I was in the tent arranging my things when Carl climbed in. I immediately tensed up.
"Hi."
"Hi"
" I've been meaning to talk to you about something, Thea."
" Sure, anything"
" I... I was only pretending to be asleep last night, and I heard what you said. and before you get nervous, I just have to tell you... I love you too." I could feel my cheeks turning bright red. He began to lean in. I did too. I rapped my arms around his neck and his hand caressed my face. our lips were about to touch, when I realized something.
" No." I pulled away, left the tent, and ran into the woods. Carl was right behind me. he put a hand on my shoulder. I stopped.
" Why? Isn't it perfect?"
" Of coarse it is, Carl! It's the best thing that's ever happened to me! Just..."
" Just what?"
" I can't loose you, Carl! We can't be in love because one of us might die and leave the other heartbroken, and I couldn't do that to you and wouldn't want it done to me." I turned to run deeper into the woods, but then felt a walker jump on top of me and wrestle me to the ground.
"THEODORA!"
"CARL! HELP!"Carl tackled the walker and stabbed it in the head 6 times. he ran back over to me and gave me such a big hug that I could no longer feel me, only him.
" What did I tell you last night? We're always there for each other." The next thing I knew, we were engaging in long kiss. I felt his tongue slip under mine, then over than under. I was in love. I knew I was in love. I was happy that I was in love.
We walked back to camp together. Lori came up to us.
" Hey! What we're you doing out there?"
" Just taking a walk. We miss anything?" I responed.
" Nope. You should never leave camp unarmed."
" Who said we were unarmed?" Carl asked while pulling out his knife.
" Why is it bloody? Oh no! We're you attacked?! bit? scratched? Should I get the kit?"
" No mom! Chill, Jeez. it's old blood. We can take care of our selves."
" All right, all right. just checking." She strolled off.
" Hey Rick!" I called out. "We eating tonight?"
" No, unfortunately. but we're all gonna go to sleep now because Daryl' s going out tonight to hunt for breakfast, so if we sleep now we can get our food nice and early." Carl and I went into the tent and lied down.
" Theodora?"
" Yeah?"
" I love you, too."
