Love In The Apocalypse

Part-two of TS-19

MY POV

I wake up, get dressed, put my shoes on, brush my hair into a messy bun, brush my teeth for what seems like an hour because they were so dirty, and I put my phone in my back pocket. I grab 'The Maze Runner' and read five chapters. I set the book down even though it was getting so good. I put everything back in my bag including the books.

*Knock knock*

I walk to my door and see Carl standing there with a small smile.

"Hey, Bryana what you do-" he can't finish talking because I grab him in a hug. "I'm glad to see you too. Did you get my note?" He asks me while he squeezes me back.

"Yes, I-I think I. Maybe, I might like you too. It killed me to be mad at you." We both let go of each other. He smiles and so I do the same.

"So.... Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Carl asks with his face getting red.

"Um....I. Yeah. We can be Carana."

"What?"

"You know. Carl and Bryana make Carana."

"Oh, okay. I guess. Are you coming to eat. T-Dog is cooking eggs in the bar, but imma eat cereal."

"Yeah, let's go." I walk in front of him on the way.

"Bryana what's that?" Carl point's to my butt. Of course he has to look at my butt. I don't understand why though butt's aren't anything special. I take my phone out and show it to him.

"This?"

"Yeah. Oh, your phone. I forgot you took it with. Is it charged?"

"Yeah, its on one-hundred percent. Even though I listened to one song. I also have three portable Chargers, so when it dies I'm prepared."

"Cool." I put it back in my pocket. Carl grabs my hand and we hold each others hands all the way to the bar. When we get in there everyone looks at us with a smile and then I realized we're still holding hands. Me and Carl blush a little but still hold each other's hands. We sit down next to Lori. In the bar is Andrea, Dale, Glenn, and T-Dog. T-Dog gives me eggs I thank him and then goes back to cook again. Carl gets his cereal and we mow down.

"Hello," Glenn says. He looks very very hungover. I realize Rick walking into the bar and he looks hungover too just a little less.

"Morning," Rick says pulling a chair out to sit down. Everyone else soon starts to come in the bar.

"Are you hungover? Mom said you'd be." Lori looks at him and he smiles at her. I give her a little grin too and she smiles.

"Mom is right." He says sitting down.

"Mom has that annoying habit." Lori, carl, and I laugh.

"Eggs. Powdered, but--but I do 'em good." Glenn moans and T-Dog walks closer to him. Jacqui rubs Glenn's back. "I bet you can't tell. Protein helps the hangover." He put some eggs on Glenn's plate and Glenn moans more.

"Where'd all this come from?" Rick asks.

"Jenner." Lori says to Rick who is having trouble opening a bottle of pills.

"Could you help me, please?" Lori wipes her hands and starts to open the bottle.

"He thought we could use it." Lori looks at Glenn.
