What if it's us~ Carl Grimes Gay

Chapter 6

Max Dixon's POV

I woke up to a bundle of heat half on top of me. I smile as I remember what happened last night. Carl likes me too. I rub his back softly as I kiss his head. Carl groans as he wakes up. He blinks a few times before looking up at me and blushing. "Morning kiddo."I say smirking at him. "Morning, Max."He replies tiredly.

"You ready to get up?"I ask. "No, it's to early."Carl groans. Then an idea pops into my head. I carefully move my hands to Carl's sides before I started tickling him. Carl broke out in giggles as he squirmed trying to get out of my arms. I laugh as I continued my tickle attack.

We soon shifted to where I was hovering over him as I tickled him. Soon I stopped as we were both breathing heavily. "Are you gonna get up?"I ask. "Yes. I'll get up just no more tickling."Carl cries out. "Okay I'm trusting you here."I say as I move my hands away from his sides.

Then I realize that our faces are really close. Carl must have realized too because his face heated up. I looked at his eyes then too his lips as I saw Carl doing the same thing. "Screw it."I say before crashing my lips on his. Carl's eyes widened before he started to kiss back.

After 15 seconds we pulled away for air. "Come on let's go get breakfast."I say. Carl nods and we get up. I throw on my clothes from yesterday and we head to the dining room just to see everyone already in there and eating. I put some oatmeal into two bowls and we sit down to eat.

While we were eating, my dad kept on throwing smirks at me as if he knew what had happened between Carl and I.  I glared back at him and continued to eat. After we finished we all headed to the big room. "Give me a playback of TS-19."Dr. Jenner says as VI starts to play it. "Few people ever got a chance to see this. Very few."Dr. Jenner says.

The video shows a human brain and what happens when you turn. It shows that you can't save someone after they turn. It was horrible. Everyone was upset by this. Then it shows them shooting their patient in the head. But they had no idea what this disease was or how to stop it.

"That clock, it's counting down. What happens at zero?"Dale asks pointing at the timer I saw last night. "The basement generators, they run out of fuel."Dr. Jenner says. "And then?"I ask. Dr. Jenner looks at me before walking away. "VI, What happens when the power runs out?"Rick asks. "When the power runs out, facility-wide decontamination will occur."VI answers.

Rick, Shane, Glenn, and  T-Dog then head down to the basement to check it out. I head to my room while Carl went with his mom. I grabbed my bag and packed my stuff up. Then the lights go out. "Emergency light on."VI say as smaller lights turn on. Then the air conditioning stopped. Shit.

I go out into the hallway with my bag to see everyone else out there and Dr. Jenner walking down the hall. "Why is the air off? And the lights in our room?"Carol asks." What's going on? Why is everything off?"Dad asks as he steps out of his room with a bottle of wine. Dr. Jenner grabs the bottle from him as he continues to walk down the hall.

"Energy use is being prioritized."Dr. Jenner says. "The air isn't a priority? And Lights?"Dale asks. "Its not up to me. Zone 5 is shutting itself down." The doctor answers. "Hey! Hey, What the hell does that mean?"Dad asks as we all run after him. More lights continue to turn off as the doctor says the same thing to Rick, Shane, Glenn and T-Dog who joined us in the big room.

An alarm than goes off. Everyone was yelling when the door closed. The doctor had locked us in. Everyone continued yelling and freaking out. I zoned out on what they were all yelling about  We were gonna die. We were locked in here.

I zoned back in when VI started talking. Now I understood what was gonna happen. The air was gonna set on fire. That's how we're gonna die. My dad than took a wine bottle and smashed it against the door yelling to open the door. Then Shane takes an axe to it. But it does nothing.

I watched them as they continues to waste their energy. Then my dad tried to hit Dr. Jenner with the axe. Everyone quickly held him back. "You do want this. Last night you said you knew it was just a matter of time before everyone you loved was dead."Dr. Jenner says to Rick.

"What? You really said that? After all your big talk."Shane asks. "I had to keep hope alive, didn't I?"Rick asks. "There is no hope. There never was."The doctor continued. "There's always hope. Maybe it won't be you, maybe not here, but somebody somewhere-"Rick was cut off by Andrea speaking.

"What part of 'everything is gone' don't you understand?"Andrea ask. "Listen to your friend. She gets it. This is what takes us down. This is our extinction event."The doctor says. "This isn't right. You can't just keep us here. My daughter doesn't deserve to die like this."Carol says crying. Then Shane cocks his gun and starts toward Jenner.

He points the gun at Jenner when everyone told him to put the gun down. Then Shane started shooting a bunch of computers until Rick takes the gun back. I sat down on the floor next to Carl as he cuddled into my side crying. I rub his back soothingly as I look down at him.

"Don't worry, your dad will get us out of here."I say softly. He nods as we continue to cuddle. Then the door opens. "Come on!"Everyone yells. I jump up with Carl and we take off out of the door with everyone else. We run to the front doors as people try to open them. But they wouldn't open.

So they shot at the windows and hit them with the axes. No damage. "Rick! I have something that might help. Your first morning at camp, when I washed your uniform I found this in your pocket."Carol says handing him a grenade. We all quickly get down as Rick puts the grenade in front of the window and he too gets down. The window blew apart with glass falling everywhere.

We all quickly got back up and ran out of there to the cars. Carl was still clutching onto my side as we got in my dad's pickup truck. Then Andrea and Dale came out and ran towards us. "Get down!"Dad yells as he gets in. We duck down in the seat as the CDC blew up. We carefully sit back up and look out the window.

Andrea and Dale got in the RV before we all drove away. Carl sat in the middle cuddling up against me as I held on to him. "Its okay."I whisper into his ear. Soon he falls asleep in my arms as we get the hell away from that place.
