Trust In Love

Part 10

   I wake up and im in Carl's cell. I look down and see im laying on his chest with his arms around my waist. I lay my head on his chest again and listen to his slow breathing."Morning beautiful" he whispers in my ear. I jump not knowing he was awake. He chuckles quietly before putting his hand on my cheek. "morning" I mumble. I look at his lips and bite my lip.

   He notices and gets close and hugs me before he places a soft kiss on my lips. I smile into the kiss and then pull away once I hear a gasp come from the door. I look up and see Hana coming at me. She pulls me off of him and to the floor. I hiss in pain from landing on my cuts.

   "Stay away from him! Hes mine!" Hana yells. I push up but fall back to the ground. "Carl help me please..." I trail off. He just looks at me to Hana then back to me. "No hes mine and he is not going to!" She says. "Carl" I say quietly. "Choose her or me Carl" Hana says. "I-I" he stutters.

   I just look down and cry and get up and limp out of the room crying out in pain. Hana just smirkes and hugs Carl. As I get to the steps I trip up and fall to the bottom. I yelped when I felt the stiches rip apart. Hana apears in the door way with Carl, "clumsy bitch" she says with a laugh then goes to the opposite side of the prison.

   I look down and see blood and I hiss and try to hide the blood while trying to stand up. I see Carl still standing there and he sees the blood and runs to me. "Lani I'm sorry I was stuck in a daze, I-i didn't... I-i.." I cut him off. "its ok just help me to Hershel" and he helps me up and takes me to him. I get stiched up and Carl takes me back to his cell.

   "shouldn't I be in mine?" I ask. "I dealed with her don't worry about it, now get some rest" he says while closing the curtain to the cell. He comes and lays next to me once again putting me on his chest. He kissed my head quietley humming random songs in my ear. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard him say something that I will never forget.

   "I love you" he said making me smile. I cuddled more into his chest and fell asleep.

   I wake up and I'm still in Carl's cell. I slowly get up not waking him. I haven't talked to Landis in awhile so I should go See her. I slowly limp to her cell. She's reading one of her favorite books the outsiders. I read that to her when she was little. "Hey" I say quietly smiling.

   "Lani you feeling ok?" She asked. I shake my head yes and sit down beside her leaning against the wall. She wore the halo shirt I gave her before I left. "Did you ever think I wasn't going to come back? Did you ever loose faith in me?" I asked looking at the floor.

   "No... because your my sister and I know you'll always come back. We made a promise to never leave each other for good... we stick together" she said grabbing my hand. I squeezed hers and smiled. She's always going to need me, she's so small and vulnerable out her in the wild. I need to teach her how to survive because I couldn't live without her. What if we get separate one day.... that would be the end of me.

   "Hey you want me to finally teach you how to shoot a gun?" I asked. She always begged me as a kid but I never thought she was ready. "Really?" She looked at me amazed. She shook her head and pulled me up grabbing her small 9mm pistol that she never shot. I had mine on my side so we slowing walked out and to the courtyard after telling Rick.

   I told her the basics and then set her up. She was scared at first but finally got the hang of it. After practicing with her we hung out and talked about old memories and new ones we want to make. She wondered if she would ever see anyone from her family again and you could tell she was upset. But happy that we had a sisterly bonding day!

   Kyle mainly hung around Rick and they got along really well. He checked up on me just to see if I was ok and played with Landis to keep her company while I was doing other stuff. I really believe this will be a new start for all of us. And I'm happy that Carl finally knows how I feel about him. And the best part is is he likes me too!

   But I don't think I can ever forget what he did with Haha! But for now I'm happy we are finally back together with our group and safe for now.....
