Love In The Apocalypse

Cherokee Rose

(Y/N) POV

     "(Y/N). (Y/N) wake up." Someone shakes me and I'm guessing it's Beth.

     "No...Let me sleep in. Just for one day. I'm so tired." I push her away because she keeps shaking me.

     "(Y/N), please get up." She says with a sound of sadness in her voice. I immediately turn around to see a crying Beth on my bed.

     "What's wrong? Did Jimmy say something to you? Because if he did I will beat his a--" I get cut of by her.

     "No! It's just--just that...Otis--he didn't make it." She starts crying even more and a hug her.

     "I'm sorry Beth. I truly am. I wish we could stop all the deaths in the world. Nobody deserves this life. Nobody." We stop hugging and I get up to take a shower because I haven't had one in about three days. After I get out, I get dressed and then we go outside with Jimmy, the Asian, Shane, Maggie, and the guy with a hurt arm. We look for big stones for Otis's grave and put them in a wheelbarrow. After five minutes of looking I hear the sound of vehicles. Everyone including me looks in the direction of the sound. There is a guy on a motorcycle, with a RV behind, and a car behind that. I walk toward the house to tell Hershel and everyone their here. I walk in the house to hear....Carl? I think his name is.

     "Bryana? Sophia? Are they okay?" I wish I had someone who cared about me as much as he cares about Bryana. Carl's dad and mom are in front of him leaning on Hershels bed with smiles on their faces.

     "Yes, their both safe here in the house." Carl's dad smiles at Carl after he says that.

     "Rest. We'll be right here, okay?" Carl's mom says rubbing Carl's head.

     "Okay." Carl says slowly closing his eyes to go to sleep. Carl's parents both slowly sit back down in their chairs.

     "Hers-" I get cut off by the guy with a hurt arm. It pisses me off, so I walk out of the room with my arms crossed.

     "They're here." He says. I walk outside and people are getting out of the two vehicles and the guy is getting off his motorcycle. Everyone from inside the room Carl's in slowly comes out. Carl's parent's stand next to each other infront of an old man with a hat on.

     "How is he?" The old man asks.

     "He'll pull through, thanks to Hershel and his people." Everyone looks at me, Hershel, and Patricia, while we are standing close to the door, but off the porch.

     "And Shane. We'd have lost Carl if not for him." Carl's dad blurts out and the old man and Carl's dad slowly go in for a hug.

     "Thank God." And older looking lady says to Carl's mom as they hug. After their done hugging Carl's mom gets a big smile on her face.

     "We got good news. We-we found both of the girls." It looks like the ladies heart jumps out of her chest with excitement. The lady smiles and hugs Carl's mom again while she cries.

     "Oh my God. Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done without her." Everyones face lights up with smiles.

     "Come on in and you can see them both." Carl's mom, the older lady, and the man that was on the motorcycle goes in the house to see the ladies daughter, I'm guessing. The rest of their group stay and talk for a while. Then slowly one by one go to see Sophia and Bryana.
