Stay With Me [Carl Grimes]

Chapter 6: The Barn

Carl and I's birthday is in a few days which I'm excited about. Our birthdays are separated by a day, but ever since I could remember, we always had a combined birthday. Everyone's been acting kind of strange, so I think they might be throwing us a surprise party.

"Hiya" Carl said walking into the kitchen. "Hey birthday boy" I came over and high-fived him. "14" He smiled, "14" I repeated. His birthday is a day before mine so he's older. "Hi birthday twins" Lori walked in. "Mom are birthday's are a day apart that doesn't make us twins, god don't you know anything!" He sarcastically ran out of the room like a 5 year old. "

"Geez someone has a handful" I said to Lori, who just rolled her eyes. "Soon enough he'll be your problem to" She smirked, and I spit out my water. "What?" I looked at her playing the stupid game. "Come on, there's something going on" She explained. "No, no, nothing is going on" I told her nervously.

Of course she didn't buy it.

"Well I can't say for either of you, but by the looks of it, you both like each other" And with that, she scurried out of the room.

I kept my mouth wide open with my eyes bugged out for I don't know how long but Hershel came in. "Liz get out there and control your group!" He yelled furiously. Oh god, what'd they do this time? I thought.

I ran outside to see all of my group surrounding the barn. "Hey what's going on?" I shouted at Rick. "Hershel has walkers in the barn, a lot" He explained looking towards me. I glanced at Beth "Did you know about this?" I walked towards her, getting angry. "Maybe" She muttered under her breath like a mouse. I sighed and grabbed my gun. "Wait!" She called to me, knowing what I was about to do.

"I don't really have time now so make it quick" I told her, already getting impatient. "If you kill a single walker in that barn, we're not friends" She spit out of her mouth, with nothing but anger in her eyes. I was shocked, this coming from Beth? But I didn't care at that moment. "Then I guess we're not friends" I glared at her making my way to the barn, We gave Daryl the okay to open up the door, which he did.

Rick, Daryl, Carl, Glenn, and I were shooting and killing the walkers. For some reason I noticed one women walker, but ignored it until Maggie spoke up, sobbing. "MOMMA!" She cried trying to run to it, Glenn grabbed her and pulled her down, holding her as she cried. I looked at Beth sobbing, and dropped the gun running over to her as quick as possible.

I hugged her really tight as the tears kept falling, "I'm sorry Beth, I really shouldn't have done this, but honestly it's unsafe, and they aren't sick or people, they are the walking dead" She nodded replying, "I know that its unsafe thinking about it now, but before I didn't" She hugged me back. Carl walked over. "Beth you okay?" He concerned for Beth, making me a little jealous. She smiled happily and nodded.

"Thanks for asking though" As she stood up and hugged him. Although, she hugged him a little too long on purpose. "Okay! Beth what about me, I helped you too!" I laughed making them separate. "Hah, of course!" She faked me a smile. Giving me a quick hug walking away.

What's got into her? "She seems different, did you guys have a fight?" Carl asked. I sighed "Well we had a fight before the walkers were released but after she seemed perfectly fine, then all of a sudden it seems like she hates me" I almost started crying, and Carl noticed so he immediately came over and hugged me. Soon enough he'll be your problem too. Come on there's something going on. Lori's words ran threw my head. "I just, I really like Beth and we were doing so well and I don't know what happened" I muttered into his neck. "I know, don't worry you'll be friends in no time" He tried cheering me up. "No Carl, guys and girls are different. Guys can make up within minutes, but girls cant. Even if its something stupid" "UGH! I screwed up" I continued, this time getting louder. "Shh calm down!" Carl tried to, but it didn't work. "No I don't want to-" He cut me off but connecting his lips with mine. A few seconds later he unconnected our lips and smiled at me. "What was that for?" I asked him. "I thought I'd shut you up, you know like in the movies, and it worked" He laughed, while I kicked him in the leg, not too hard.

"Your a dick, Grimes, your a real dick" I muttered to him. "Psh, like your a walk in the park" He argued back. "I think I am" I stuck my head up, doing a stupid accent. "How would you like to take a walk in the park with me?" He said confidently but once the words came out of his mouth, his eyes widened

As well as mine.

Did Carl Grimes just ask me out?
