Blake's POV


That night I packed my bag.  Carol made sure I had enough food and water to get there and back.  I also mapped out the path I should take to get there.  Carl stayed in his room for the rest of the night, probably still mad at me.


The next morning I gathered my bag and said goodbye to Carol and Judith before I left.  I would have said goodbye to Carl, but he didn't come out of his room, not even to say goodbye.  So I left without a goodbye from Carl.

==================================================================================

Walking down an empty road was really...boring.  I mean, I knew that it would take a while to get there, but I just didn't expect to be so bored by myself.  I kinda wish Carl did come with me just so I could have someone to talk to, even though I know it would be dangerous for him to come.


I stop when I see a car on the side of the road.  I go over to it and look inside and see that there is a medical kit in the car.  I pick up a big enough rock and smash it against the window until breaks.  I reach inside to unlock the door and grab the medical kit.  When I get out of the car I see a walker right behind me.


It was strong enough that it was able to tackle me to the ground.  I hold its neck in my hand keeping its face away from me.  I use my other hand to reach in my pocket to grab my knife.  When I get my knife I pull it out and...


BANG!!!


I feel the blood hit my face as the walker falls next to me with a hole through its head.  I get up off the ground and look to see who shot the walker. 


"Carl?"  I asked as I see him holding his gun.  "What the hell are you doing here?"


"I told you I couldn't let you go alone."  He said as he walks over to me.  "And I was right.  I just saved your ass."


"If you gave me a minute I would have killed it on my own."  I told him.


"If I gave you a minute, it would have bit you."  Carl said.


"Does Carol know you're here?"  I asked him.


"I left her a note."  He told me.


"Well, you're gonna have to go back."  I tell him.


"I'm not gonna leave you."  He said.


"You can't come back with me."  I tell him.  "If my mom see's you, she'll kill you."


"What if I don't go back with you?"  He asked.  "What if I just stay with you and when we get close enough I'll stay back and wait for you."


I rolled my eyes knowing that he's not gonna quit.


"Fine."  I tell him.  "Let's go.  But I don't want to talk to you."
