The Walking Dead Fanfic. It's to late. (Carl Grimes)

Unwelcome tears.

Carl's P.O.V:

Everyone but me, dad and Michonne were asleep. I should get some rest but I'm still processing everything that's happened. Merle, Woodbury, I nearly kiss Jess... does she like me? She didn't try to move away, did she? As I trailed off with my thoughts I felt something on my shoulder. I looked down and saw Jess lying on it, asleep.

I should move but, I must admit, it's quite nice and comfortable. I lay my head on hers and notice Michonne smiling at me. What the hell, Michonne is smiling?! She obviously noticed me looking at her and then went back to her normal stare. Damn I should of averted my gaze.

A couple of minutes later we arrived at the prison and Carol opened the gates, quickly closing them behind us. I woke up Jess and her eyes fluttered open.

"Sorry to wake you, but we've arrived." I said.

"No big deal." she said, smiling. We got out of the car and I noticed Daryl carrying Abby bridal style in the prison. Me and Jess followed him and he lay her down in a cell-bed. He smiled at her.

"Ohhhh! My big brother has got a crush on my bestie!". She whispered. I snickered. Daryl just smirked.

"But you like ma buddy Carl here little sis." he whispered back and looked at me. I rubbed my neck nervously. Does she like me? She looked at me then back at Abby.

"But I know for a fact she likes you back..." she mumbled. She didn't intend for Daryl and me to hear but we did. Why didn't she want us to hear though?

"Really?" he said asking hopefully.

"God she's never gotten on with a boy so well in her life!".

"And you have never gotten on so well with a girl in your life." I said to Daryl "So it's kinda obvious.".

"Whatever Carl. Anyways, what about you and Je..." he trailed of when we heard Abby stir.

Jessica's P.O.V:

"Where am I?" she said.

"You're in a jail cell bed, Daryl carried you in!" Carl said while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Bridal style!" I added. Daryl gave us both a death glare. We walked out of the cell laughing and went outside. Carl went over to the gates to talk to Carol and I sat on the grass. After watching Carl for a while abd noticing how much of a stalker I looked like, I lay down. Daryl's words kept on replaying in my head:

"But you like ma buddy Carl here little sis."

I must admit, I did like him, a lot. But I don't want to like him. If I got to attached to him and he got hurt or... died, I don't know how I would move on.

But now there was also something else on my mind: did he like me? I mean, he nearly did kiss me. God Jess stop thinking about him!

"Hey Jess?!" a familiar voice that was Beth's called out. I looked over to the door leading to the inside of the prison. She was standing there, cradling Judith in her arms.

"I'm coming!" I said back. I walked over to where she was standing. "What"s wrong?".

"Well, I need a favor." I nodded. "Could you look after Judith a while? I haven't slept in ages!".

"Sure, no problem! I've helped out with babies before.".

"Great! Thank you so much!" I smiled and she handed Judith over to me. I went back to the field of grass and sat down crossed-legged, cradling Judith in my arms. I tickled her tummy and she smiled, showing her gums. For once there was a ray of hope in this world, and I was holding it in my arms.

"You're the most beautiful thing in this whole world. Your mum must have been so happy to have you.You also have an amazing dad and a wonderful big brother!".

"Is that so?" someone said from behind me, making me slightly jump. The person went infront of me and it was Carl.

"Jesus Carl, don't scare me like that, especially with Judith in my arms!" I said. We laughed and then we sat in an awkward silence. So I started humming rock-a-by-baby to Judith. She went to sleep slowly after and I smiled at her beautiful face.

Carl throat coughed. I looked at him confused.

"Listen, about earlier today, when we nearly kissed? Well, ummm... was that a mistake?" he whispered.

Did he really think it was a mistake? I thought about it for a while. If he thought it was a mistakr, then that means... he doesn't like me. I may as well tell him the truth.

"No, to me it wasn't." I replied sadly.

"Well, I, umm, well I-I..." he stuttered.

"It doesn't matter Carl. I might as well say this now. What Daryl said was true Carl. I like you, a lot. But I don't really care anymore, seeing as the near-kiss was a mistake to you." I said, teary eyed. Why the hell am I teary eyed?! I got up and started walking of with a sleeping Judith in my arms.

"Jessica, wait!" Carl called out with hope in his voice. Probablyto say he was sorry he didn't like me. It's not his fault really, no one ever liked me. I don't even really like myself.

"It's okay Carl, I understand." I was at the door by this point and I shut the door before he could come in. I went to Beth's cell and carefully pulled Judith's make-shift cot out of it, hoping not to wake a sleeping Beth.

I pulled it into an empty cell and lay Judith down inside. I went to get my weapons and bag abd brought them in. I lay my stuff everywhere and put my hand/knife into the bag. I finally sat down on the bed, letting the unwelcome tears stream down my face...

Omg guys! She finally admited her feelings!

Ok so like other chapters I am recommending you onedirectionerone's stories, and she has made two or three more.

I'm also recommending something new:

So ye! Vote and comment if you want, but seriously, I could not stop reading those two's storues! Highly recommended!
