Alone (Henry TWD) (Needs major editing)

13.) First Moves

I woke up to Henry groaning.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I sat up.

"I'm tired," he whined.

"Then... sleep."

"I can't."

"Then wake up?"

"Wait..." he sat up, looking at me. He looked at the bed and then shook his head and laid back down. "Never mind."

"Okay..." I yawned, glancing at the clock on the wall it was only 6 am. "I'm gonna go find food," I said as I sat and stood up, stretching out my back.

"Wait..."

"Yeah?" I ask quietly, running a hand through my hair as I yawn.

"...never mind. I'll tell you later. Am I allowed to walk?"

"Yeah, just take it easy," I tell him as I slip into my boots and walk out the door.

"So how long are we staying here?" He asked as he slurped down his orange juice.

"Good question," I respond as I drink my coffee, walking to the window and pull the curtain back. "You'd have to ask your father about that."

"Another day at least?"

"Yeah. Probably at least a week."

"So then what are we gonna do today if I need to take it easy."

"We'll play video games or something," I shrug and watch the people walk around the town. I heard shuffling behind me, so I turned around. Henry was standing, digging through the box of DVD's on the table below the mounted TV. I smiled a little and walked over to him, putting my coffee down and wrapping my arms around him, hugging him. I could hear him smile as he hugged me back. "What did you want to tell me earlier?" I ask as we both pull away. I looked up at him.

"I um..." he looked up and tilted his head, squinting his eyes, as if he was debating what to say. He looked back down at me. He opened his mouth and then shut it, smiling a little. I felt his palm gently on the side of my neck as he leaned down and kissed me. I was a little surprised at first, it felt like I was stuck in a cheesy romance story. But I got used to it after about 2 seconds, when I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. His other hand went on the side of my jaw. It almost got more intense when-

Some idiot knocked on the door.

We both jumped back, me more than him. He looked at me. "That's um... in return for the other night, the walker attack," he said quietly as he went to open the door, a small smile on his face. I smiled to myself, facing the wall as my fingers wrapped around the coffee cup, gently picking it up and putting it to my lips, taking a sip.

"Hi Enid," Henry said as he opened the door wider for her to take a couple steps in. She looked at me with a small smile.

"Here's the pain meds for Henry, I'm not sure how much he needs so I'll just give them to you," she handed me the small plastic bottle.

"Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen?"

"Acetaminophen, 125 mg each, we're running low of everything else and the pharmacists are cooking up some more."

"Okay, thanks," I mumbled as I examined the bottle. Enid nodded and then left, shutting the door behind her.

"So you're a doctor now?" Henry asked, smiling a little as he took the bottle from me.

"Take one of those morning and night, you don't seem like you're in too much pain. And no, Enid's just discovered that I know how to stitch and use hydrogen peroxide."
