Shattered, Not Broken (The Walking Dead/ Carl Grimes fanfiction)

Chapter Twelve

Chapter 12💀 *Carls pov*

I stared at the ceiling, listening to my dad snore. I honestly don't know how the walkers don't even hear him because he's probably the loudest snorer I've ever known. He's been asleep for a while now... That's good though. He needs all the sleep he can get. He has so many decisions to make...

On a different note. Scarlette... Since she's arrived here I've felt different. Calmer, even. I'm not sure why, but I feel back to my old self. Carefree, worry free... Just a regular old kid.

But before... I don't even want to think about that. The look on that boy's face as I blew his brains out. It's sorta up to me to protect this group, so I did what I had to do...

It just seems like everyone acted different after that incident. They acted like I was different... Older, more mature... Maybe even evil. I'm just so confused about all this...

And to make things weirder, I was beginning to like Beth. Which honestly isn't that weird I guess... Who wouldn't like her?? She's really pretty with a nice personality, and she takes care of my sister a lot.

Yeah, she is 4 years older than me but still... But that's not the problem either. The problem is that I'm not sure about this whole situation.

When Scarlette and I first met, she pounced on me and I could feel her anger. Her fear. Her anxiety... I could feel her muscular body land on mine, forcing me to the ground.

To be honest, that wasn't a bad feeling. And then, having her cry and lie on me in the car... I felt like someone cared again. I knew I wouldn't be alone.

But this last encounter with Scarlette... This was the most interesting yet awkward by far.

I hadn't realized anyone, let alone my new friend of the female gender, was out there when I went to lock the door in my shorts. Of course, I don't really care if people see me shirtless, I just didn't know people were out there.

But when Scarlette saw me in those shorts... Her face was just so... I'm not sure how to explain it, but I saw her blush and heard her gasp. What does that mean though??

A/N:

Hey guys thanks for reading :) I know I haven't updated in forever and I'm really sorry but I've been soooo busy... I've been to states across the whole U.S. as well as France, Germany, and the Netherlands and now I have band so I almost never have time for anything :/

Anywho, I hope you guys enjoy this short chapter and I'm gonna start working on the story again once I get my driving permit and have nothing really to worry about.

Thanks again :D
