Charlie POV

This morning Jesus told me about him and Daryl. I remember that part, but I don't remember what happened after. Did I faint from too much excitement or fall asleep. No one will ever know. Well except for Jesus he'll know. Whatever I'm bored. Oh, yeah Rick's here! How long has he been talking?

"What?" I ask him and he laughs.

"Your were really lost in thought there." Rick states like captain obvious.

"Yeah, I was thinking about when I win the bet," I say trying to make him mad. He laughs again this time he sounds kind of annoyed.

"What makes you so sure of that?" He asks me and I smirk at his poor innocentness.

"I know Jesus a lot better than you and when he gets a certain look in his eyes I know he's going to do something about it. It's how I knew he was going to leave me once I fell asleep the night before he found you. This morning he was talking about Daryl and had the same look in his eyes." I explain to him and he all of a sudden looks worried. I told you I was going to win Rick.

"What did you tell Carl when he was over here?" Rick asks me out of the blue. I look at him worried Carl did something stupid. I see that he looks happy, not mad so, I decide to answer him honestly.

"I told him he would make a good leader one day and that he shouldn't be ashamed of his eye because it's his war scar. I told him that he's an amazingly strong kid and one day he's going to do great things." I tell him and Rick smiles at me.

"Carl asked me yesterday when he came back from here if I could get you out of here early so you could go shooting." Rick tells me and I laugh, "Yeah, I told him I would teach him how to shoot with one eye when I got out." I tell him and laugh a little. Carl's a weird kid which makes me love him even more. Weird is necessary for a world like this. So, it's a good thing I'm here. The door swings open and an out of breath Carl runs in.

"Jesus made the first move." Carl breathed out quickly then took a moment to catch his breath. I throw the blanket off of me and rip out my IV.

"I'll be expecting those gummy bears," I tell Rick before running out the door. I'm free bitches. I hear footsteps behind me and turn to see Rick chasing after me. Shit. I start running even faster through the dark town. I turn my head to see Rick just a couple feet behind me now. Son of a bitch, he's fast. I try to run even faster but I slam into the back of someone. I fall to the ground causing the wind to get knocked out of me.

"The hell?" I hear Daryl ask from above me. I see Rick slow down next to my head. I roll over and try to crawl away, but someone grabs my feet.

"This is so unfair!" I shout at Rick who's now laughing at me. Someone starts to pull me up from behind. I try to wiggle away, but they grab me tighter.

"Charlie you're making this so much more difficult." Jesus says in my ear and I giggle, "When have I ever made anything easy?" I turn my head around so, I can see him better. He smiles then shrugs his shoulder as if to say I don't know. He finally manages to pull me up. I shake out of his grip and stand in front of him knowing if I run he'll pull some ninja shit.

"What do you want from me? I've spent the last week and a half sitting in that stupid ass bed. Who knows how long I was asleep there. I need air and I need to see the sun. I need to show Carl how to shoot again. I need freedom please this is all I ask." I tell them trying to give a convincing dramatic speech. They all stare at me for a second.

"Nope," Jesus says and grabs my wrist. I snatch my wrist away and pull a ninja move on him that he taught me. I run as fast as I can toward the clearing I see by the wall. I keep running until I reach the wall. The boys are still running after me and I see they are pretty far behind. I lean up against the wall and slide down into a sitting position. I see Carl standing by a tree a few yards back. I smile knowing he's going to talk Rick into letting me be free. Jesus is the first one to reach me and to say he looks piss is an understatement.
