What if it's us~ Carl Grimes Gay

Chapter 7

Max Dixon's POV

After we got out of there we stopped on the side of the road to decide what to do next. We decided to go with Shanes idea of Fort Benning. It was 125 miles away. So we stopped and siphoned as much gas as we could and got some supplies for the journey.

We now only had my dad's motorcycle, the RV, and the old station wagon. I rode on my dad's motorcycle with him. Lori, Rick, Carol, Sophia and Carl rode in the station wagon and everyone else was in the RV. We drove for a couple hours before having to stop because of a road block of cars.

Dad and I found a way through and started to lead everyone through it. That was until the RV started smoking. We all stopped and walked up to the RV to see how bad it was. "We could scavenge the cars while Dale and Glenn work on the RV."Rick says. We all nod and split up ignoring Whori's statement of this being a graveyard

I walked with Carl as we looked through the cars. We found some clothes that would fit us. I then found a blue dress. "Oh, this would look amazing on you."I smirk as I show him the dress. Carl's face heats up as he sees it. "I am never gonna wear a dress. Dresses are for girls."Carl says.

I laugh as I put the dress back and we continue to look. Suddenly Rick came over telling us to get under the cars. I quickly grabbed Carl and pushed him under a car before crawling under with him. I wrap an arm around him and hold him close as we go silent. Soon feet start to walk by us. Walker feet.

I hold Carl even closer as they continue to go by. We could hear their groans and growls as they walked past. After a few minutes all of them had passed by. We wait an extra minute just in case when we heard Sophia scream. Carl cried out as I held him. "Shh, be quiet. Its okay."I say as I hold him.

We both quietly crawl out and walk towards the scream. With me continuing to hold Carl with me. We get up to the others and see Carol freaking out. "What happened?"I ask. "Sophia came out to early. Two walkers chased her off into the woods, but Rick went after her."Lori explains as Carl goes to his mother.

Soon everyone else comes over and find out what happened to Sophia. Then Rick came back asking if Sophia was back, but she wasnt. So Daryl, Rick, Shane,and Glenn went with him to check out the woods. We all stayed on the highway waiting for them to come back.

After a while, Glenn and Shane came back. Told us that Rick and Daryl were on her trail and they wanted us to continue to scavenge the cars. Lori stayed with Carol as Carl and I continued to look for supplies. Carl was upset so I wrapped an arm around his 5'2 form. "Your dad is gonna bring Sophia back. It's gonna be okay."I say softly.

"How do you know? How are you always so calm?"Carl asks. "Because I trust my dad and my dad is with your dad. Their gonna bring her back."I say. Then we come up to a big black truck. Carl peeks in through the window and points inside. I look in and see an arsenal on a dead walker.

"Lets go get it."I say as I head around the truck to open the door. "Max, can I get it? On my own?"Carl asks. I smile and nod stepping back so he could do it. Carl was gonna need to learn how to do stuff on his own. Now's the best time to start.

He opens the door and tries to pull it off but it wouldn't budge. So he climbs in more and grabs it before pulling it out. But just as he did the dead man fell forward causing Carl to shriek as he fell out. I quickly caught him holding him up bridal style as I smirk at him. "Looks like you've fallen for me, kiddo."I say as his face heats up.

"Shut up."Carl grumbles as he gets out of my arms and crotches down setting the arsenal on the ground and unrolls it showing a ton of blades. "Good job, buddy."I say as I mess up his hair. "Thanks for letting me do it on my own."Carl says smiling proudly. "Your welcome, you need to learn how to do stuff on your own. Now let's take this stuff back to Dale."I say.

Carl nods before rolling it back up as we then took it to Dale. Dale had us put it in the RV before we continued our scavenge. As we looked Carl stayed silent. "Hey, Max?"Carl calls. "Yeah, kid?"I ask. "What are we exactly. I mean we both like each other and we hug and hold hands and we've kissed, so what are we?"Carl asks.

"Here,"I say as I stop causing Carl to stop too, "Will you, Carl Grimes, be my boyfriend?"I ask. "Yes!"Carl giggles as he hugs me. I hug back as I chuckle.
I pull away from the hug and kiss Carl on the lips. We pull away and Carl has this big grin on his face. "You're adorable."I chuckle as we held hands and continued to walk.

Soon Rick and my dad came back, without Sophia, but covered in blood. "Her trail went cold. We'll pick it up again at first light."Rick explains.
"You can't leave my daughter out there on her own to spend the night alone in the woods."Carol cries out. "Out in the darks no good. We'd just be tripping over ourselves. More people get lost."Dad says.

"But she's 12. She can't be out there on her own. You didn't find anything?" Carol asks as Lori hugs her. "I know this is hard. But I'm asking you not to panic. We know she was out there."Rick says. Carol continues to freak out while Rick and Daryl calm her down.

I squeezed Carl's hand to comfort him as he got upset. I took him over to the station wagon and we got in the back and layed down. Carl was cuddled into my chest as we laid there with me soothingly rubbing his back. "We'll find her, Carl. She couldn't have gotten that far."I whisper as he soon falls asleep. I just really hope we do find her. Sophia is just a child. My eyes soon got heavy and I fall asleep.
