Chapter 29

Okay, hey guys. Here is another chapter and I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Carl is gonna be doing some risky stuff. Will something happen to him?

Things will be answered in the next few chapters.

Like I said in the last chapter, author notes will be at the top of the chapter and I'll be updating this book whenever I feel like, possibly every few days.

There isn't much to say.

Again, enjoy this chapter and I'll be back soon with a new one.

*Carl's P.O.V*

So right when Ali and I got into the house, I suddenly felt an adrenaline and pushed her against the wall and started to kiss her.

I've never been too rough with her before even though we've gotten hot with each other.

"What.. what are you doing?" She whispered.

"It's a sudden rush, baby." I smiled and continued to kiss her.

She started to kiss me too and now we were being rough with each other.

We were in a battle with our tongues but obviously I wish because I'm more dominant.

This continues for a bit longer before we stopped. We pulled away and I was starring at her and she's starring at me.

We were both sweaty. I had to take my hat off because I felt the sweat in my hair a bit.

"I never knew you were so into all of this other action." She said.

"I always have." I smirked.

So we fixed ourselves and we go to the kitchen because I did say that I'll make her something.

I'm sure there's some chicken and vegetables that I can make.

"Have you done anything lately?" She asked me.

"Not really. I have just been around."

I didn't want to be too silent for my own good because of what I am planning on doing tomorrow. Plus, I'll have to let her know about it and make sure that she doesn't come with me.

But sometimes she is stubborn so we'll just see how it goes.

"You're gonna be staying here right?"

"I can't leave." I said.

"But sometimes you have an mind of your own."

"I'm capable of knowing right from wrong." I laughed a bit.

"I just want you safe." She said looking at me carefully.

It's starting to make it seem like she doesn't trust me but I know for sure that she does.

She's just checking up on me and it's wonderful of her to do that.

"I have to stay here anyway because I know that is what my dad Michonne want." I said and that made her nod.

"They need to to protect this place while they're out." She said.

I stayed silent for a minute.

Is this the perfect time to tell her how I'm gonna go somewhere tomorrow?

It would make sense but she cannot tell anyone.

What should I do?

I took a deep breath and looked at her. She has to believe in me.

"I have something to tell you."

"Is it something bad?"

"Not exactly but I just wanted you to know." I said getting a little closer to her.

Ali got closer to me and was looking at me.

"I'm planning on going on a run tomorrow." I bluntly said.

I have to tell her the truth even though I'm not gonna tell her the other thing because I don't want her to freak out.

"That's it?"

"Yeah because I want to see if there is anything out there." I kinda lied.

Well if anything, I'm lying as a whole. But she doesn't need to know that.

"Do you need someone to go with you? I can go with you if you need any company." She said right away.

"I have made up my mind that I want to do this on my own."

She looked a little disappointed.

It seemed like she wanted to go with me and it breaks my heart.

I don't know what to do.

"Are you sure? Something could happen to you." She tried to convince me.

"I have to do things on my own."

I feel like I'm just upsetting her more now.

"What if something happens to you? What am I suppose to do without you? I can't do this by myself." Ali said.

She was starting to get teary eye and I feel pretty shitty now.

"Nothing will happen to me. I will make sure that I return back in one piece." I said bringing her close to me and holding her tight.

But if I can be honest, I kinda don't trust my words.

I feel like something will happen.

"I'll be okay." I whispered to make sure she heard.

————

I was just there in the living room and Ali was sleeping on the couch.

She got tired after we ate chicken and vegetables and I let her get some rest because she doesn't get enough sleep that much.

So she needs to be well rested.

The more that I think about our conversation from earlier, I can't help but think that maybe something does happen.

But I hate thinking negative. I always like to be positive.

I just want to make sure that she's okay because I can't have nothing happen to her.

I rather have something happen to me than to her.

She deserves to be alive and be doing all of this amazing stuff and surviving.

But as I always say, there's more than just surviving in this world. It's more of control and balance and trying to make sure everyone is okay.

I like to keep everything in place.

I will be leaving tomorrow and I'll make sure to tell her when I will be leaving. I'll assure her that I'll be fine but I'm sure those words will be stinging on me from my tongue forever.

It probably won't go away.

I took a deep breath and took a glance at Ali.

This sweet girl deserves the world and I wanna make it real for her because I know she been through a lot as well.

I'll make sure she's okay.

It always will be myself in front of her.
