We'll Get Through This....Together (Carl Grimes Love Story)

Chapter 5

Ellie's P.O.V

Carl's gesture is nice. I guess even though I haven't known him for all that long we are already friends. Wow...a friend. Haven't had one of those in a while. Unless you count Alex but I thing we were more than friends. Great Alex is the first thing in my mind again.... I need to stop thinking about him. This is a new group a new start and I am not having that ruined because of my past.

We walk for a while and then come to the gate of the prison. I let go of Carl's hand and walk over next to Daryl. "Wow...this place is great..." Daryl nods his head. "Yep...Hey Carol mind openin the gate!" He yells to a woman with short grey hair and she nods smiling. "No problem Pookie!" Pooke? What? "I said not to call me that Carol!" Ok apparently that lady is Carol. I  don't know, but Pookie? What the hell kinda nickname is that? When we enter the gates I whisper to Daryl. "Pookie?" He looks down and smirks at me. "Shut up Squirt." He says pushing my head.

We get into the prison and honestly I'm surprised out how clean it is. Well aside from the fact that its a prison. Carl walks up behind me. "So? You like it?" He asks looking at me. All I can do is nod my head. He smiles. "Yeah we like it hear too." He walks to a woman with short dark brown hair who is holding a baby. That must be Judith. Carl walks up to the baby with a huge smile on his face taking the baby from the woman. "Hey there Judith. I missed ya." I hear him say. The woman looks at me then whispers to something to Carl. He looks at me and then motions me over to them. "Maggie. This is Ellie. Ellie. This is Maggie."

I smile. "Its nice to meet ya Maggie." She smiles. Nice to meet ya too Ellie." I look at Judith. "She's so cute." I say to Carl. He looks at Judith and smiles. "Yeah...yeah she is." He looks at me again. "You wanna hold her?" I nod. "Can I?" He smiles and hands Judith to me. Judith looks at me with big blue eyes that slowly start to fill with tears. Great another baby who doesn't like me. "Oh...Sorry I made her cry..." Judith continues to cry. "Here let me take her." Maggie says taking the crying child away from me. Carl looks at me. "Don't worry. She'll learn to get used to ya." I smile but slowly from. "I've never been good with kids." He smiles. "Oh well...we all can't be experts." That causes me to laugh a bit. Carl laughs too.

Rick introduced me to everyone about an hour after I got here. Everyone seems really nice. I still feel really bad for making Judith cry but like Carl said it happens to the best of us right? I don't know. All I know is that I need a cell to sleep in and I can't find Rick anywhere. I walk into the dining area and see Glenn talking with Hershel. "Hey Glenn? Have you seen Rick anywhere? I need to talk to him about what cell I"m going to sleep in." Glenn shrugs. "No I haven't seen Rick, but he did say that you could share a cell with Carl if you wanted. Ya know to save other cells for supplies." I nod. "Yeah. I understand what he's getting at." I walk to Carl's cell to find him reading a comic book. I lean up against the door frame and look at him. "So? Like comic books huh?" He jumps a bit then sits up and looks at me. "Dammit Ellie. You scared me." I smile and laugh a bit still leaning in the door frame. "Sorry. So do you?" He looks at me. "Do I what?" I roll my eyes and go and sit next to him. "Like comic books Dummy." I say lightly hitting him over the head. "Oh...yeah....I guess I do." I smile. "So your dad said I have to share a cell with you. So what bunk to I get?" He looks at me funny. "My dad said that you could share a cell with me? A boy." I giggle a bit. "Yes. Is that so surprising?" He nods. "Uh? Yeah. Your a girl. I'm a boy." I roll my eyes. "Thank you for reminding me that I am a girl." He smiles. "That's not what I meant." I laugh and climb onto the top bunk. "I'm takin the top. Don't like it? Tough." I hear him laugh and lay down on the bottom bunk. "Night Carl." "Night Ellie."

*Carl's P.O.V*

I wake up and Ellie is still asleep. I still can't believe my dad said that she could stay in my cell. With me. I guess he is starting to trust me more. Last night Ellie was incredibly kind and funny. She is so cute. Did I just say that? Ok Carl. No. You can't like her. You just met her.

I get up hoping not to wake Ellie up in the process. I failed. "H..hey Carl." She says in a sleepy voice that sounds so adorable. Ugh! Stop it Carl! "Hey. I was trying not to wake you up." She smiles sitting up on her elbows looking at me. "Well you obviously failed." I nod. "Yeah.... Well I was ganna go get some breakfast. Wanna come?" She looks at me smiling. "If you want me to come your ganna have ta drag me." I smirk. "Is that a challenge?" She smirks back. "Maybe." I smile and drag her out of the top bunk putting her over my shoulder. "Hey! Carl!" I smile laughing. "You told me too." She laughs. "I didn't think you were actually going to!" I laugh. "Never underestimate me Ellie." We both laugh as I carry her to the dining area.
