Chapter 37: Anything For You

Chapter 37; Anything For You

Carl's POV

---

I've been wondering what's gonna happen to all of us. I'm not so sure about this place, I mean they can just be acting like they're the safest place on earth but I feel like its gonna backfire.

I walk out of the room we all share and go out into the 'courtyard' type thing. It's where all the food is, the benches, the people talking and laughing at one another. This place is so fake. The bad thing is, my dad doesn't realize it.

I sit on the bench and look at the sky. All i can think about is Anna. I hope her and Michonne are okay out by themselves, and I hope they found the others.

Anna's POV

---

Grayson is right beside me, and so is Kerry, Daryl on the other side, Carols next to Daryl, but Lizzie's in between them, and Michonne in front of all of us.

"I think it's this way." Daryl says cautiously.

"Daryl you can't be so sure," Carol says.

I step alittle forward. I clear my throat.

"Michonne and I know where were going."

Michonne just looks back and smiles.

About an hour passes, and I feel like were close. It's getting dark, though. I think we might have to sleep in trees for the night and find the sanctuary in the morning.

Everyone stops walking.

Daryl looks at the sky with his hands cuffed as binoculars.

"The skies getting dark, we won't make it." He huffs.

I look at everyone else. "There's a tree right here," I say.

Gray bursts out laughing. "Of course there's a tree, were in the middle of the woods!"

I smirk at him. I don't wanna snap back, there's not much to laugh about anymore, so I let it slide.

"Come on, look!" Kerry says.

Everyone looks at her finger that's pointing to a treehouse.

"Perfect!" Lizzie says.

Daryl lifts Lizzie up first, then Grayson, and I stand there really awkwardly next to Kerry.

"Am I lifting you up or not?" Daryl says and laughs a little.

I pause.

I start to speak, and then suddenly something happens. I hear a voice yelling my name.

I grab my gun and dash towards the noise.

Daryl doesn't even have time to grab me. Kerry looks at Daryl and says, "I'll follow her." And she begins to run.

I stop for a breath, and I feel someone stop behind me. I turn around fastly and point my gun, getting ready to shoot. "Hey hey hey!!! Don't shoot!" Kerry says.

I take a deep breath. "I have to find that voice!" I grab her hand and start running.

"Okay.....?" Kerry says in a confused voice.

I let go of her hand. I continue running, until something that feels like a body runs into me and I fall flat on top of it.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sor.." I got cut off by a, "it's okay it's okay!" And then I let my eyes focus on who I was pretty much on top of, and I couldn't believe it.

"Carl?" I say in shock.

"Miss me?" He says.

I stand up and grab his hand and then pull him up.

He doesn't even say anything and neither do i, we just stand there in silence, looking at eachother. He then out of no where puts his arms out and I give him a hug. "Of course I missed you Carl."

"Really?" He asks.

My head was resting on his shoulder as we hugged for literally a split second but then Kerry haaad to say something.

"AW! YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE!" She yells.

As soon as she says that, we unwrap our arms and step back slowly like it never happened. "So uh.. Why are you out here? Where are the others?" I say to Carl.

"Long story...." He says.

"Well, tell us!" Kerry says.

"Uh.. That's okay..." He says trying to change the subject.

"Carl just tell us why.." I say.

Kerry and I look at him and he's kicking the dirt on the ground by his feet.

He looks up, walks closer to me, and says, "I was trying to find you."

My cheeks get red. Good thing it's almost dark otherwise they would've seen me blushing.

"You came looking for me?" I say.

"I had to find you. I wasn't gonna sleep another night without knowing you were okay." He says.

"Aw." Kerry says.

I elbow her and she knows that means shut up.

"You would risk your life for me?" I ask.

There's complete silence for about 5 seconds.

"I would do anything for you." Carl says.
