What if it's us~ Carl Grimes Gay

Chapter 18

Max Dixon's POV

We made it out. So did Carol, Sophia, T, Lori, and Beth. There were still walkers along the road as my dad dodged them. We soon drive out onto the road and off of the dirt trail.

The sun was already rising when we came up to the car that Glenn and Maggie were in parked in the road. We pull up in front of it and stop. Maggie and Glenn were both inside alive and making out.

They get out as my dad turns off his motorcycle and we get off. Maggie comes up and hug as me and than Glenn does. "Did you see anyone else get out?"Maggie asks worried. "Yeah, Lori, T, Carol, Sophia and Beth got out in the truck."I state. "Thank god."Maggie cries.

"Where did they go?"Glenn asks. "They were heading this way when they left me behind. I'm just glad that my dad was still there or else I would've been a goner."I say as I look at my dad. "What about my dad, Patricia, Jimmy?"Maggie asks. "Patricia was taken down by the walkers. I don't know about your dad and Jimmy."I say.

"Come on. Let's go to the highway. Everyone probably went there."Dad says. We nod as they got back in the car while dad and I got on his mortycycle. He starts it back up before we head off towards the highway. I just hoped that Carl was okay.

We soon got onto the highway and started to head towards the traffic jam. That's when we saw the blue pickup truck up ahead. We sped up towards it and drove next to it. That's when they saw us. I made sure to give them the finger causing them all to smile and slow down. We cut in front of them as Maggie and Glenn followed suit.

After a few more minutes we got to the traffic jam and saw Rick, Hershal and Carl there. I smile when I see Carl, but he hasn't seen me yet. We park as everyone jumped out of their cars and hugged their loved ones. Lori hugged Rick and Carl while Maggie hugged Beth and her dad.

I then noticed we were missing some people. Jimmy, and Shane weren't here. I slowly got off my dad's bike and stood in front of it.
"Hey, cowboy!"I call out getting Carl's attention. As soon as Carl saw me he sprinted to me before jumping into my arms and wrapping his arms and legs around me.

Then we kissed right in front of everyone. But I could care less. Carl, my boyfriend, was alive. That's all that mattered to me in that moment. We broke apart as Carl then snuggled into my chest. "Where'd you find everyone?"Rick asks my dad. "Found Chinaman and Maggie making out and Max told us where T went."Dad explained.

"Yeah, thanks for leaving me behind you assholes."I say as I glare at T and Lori. "We saw you go down with that walker. We thought you were dead."Lori defends. "Then how come you didn't stop when Carol and Sophia yelled at you I was okay?"I asked. "We didn't hear them."Lori answers.

"Sure, wherever."I scoff as I carefully lower Carl back down and wrap my arm around him. "Where's the rest of us?"My dad asks. "We're the only ones that made it so far."Rick answers. "Shane?"Lori asks as Rick shakes his head no. "Andrea?"Glenn asks.

"We saw her go down."T states. "Patricia?"Hershal asks. "They got her too, took her right in front of me. I was holding on to her, daddy. She just... What about Jimmy? Did you see Jimmy?"Beth asks. "He was in the R.V. It got overrun."Rick states.

"You definitely saw Andrea?"Glenn asks. "There were walkers everywhere."Lori states. "Did you see her?"Glenn asks again. "I saw her. When I saved Carol one of the walkers tackled her down."I say as I look down.

"We gotta keep moving. There are walkers crawling all over here."Rick states. "I say head east."T says. "Stay off the main roads. The bigger the road, the more walkers, more asshole like this one. I got him."Dad says as he shoots a walker that was coming towards us with his crossbow.

I go over and grab the bag of food and water and my bag and bring it over to everyone. "I grabbed some food and water before we left."I state as I place the big duffel bags on the ground. Rick nods at me before putting it in the back of the red truck.

After that I get on my dad's motorcycle with him while Rick, Lori, Carl, Carol and Sophia got in the red truck and Maggie Glenn, Hershal, Beth and T got in the car Glenn drove here. Then we headed off away from the traffic jam and away from the farm.

After an hour of driving, we hear Rick honk his horn. We pull over as everyone piles out of the cars. "You out?"Dad asks Rick. "Running on fumes."Rick answers. "We can't stay here."Maggie says. "We can't all fit in one car."Glenn says.

"We'll have to make a run for some gas in the morning."Rick states. "And spend the night here?"Carol asks. "I'm freezing."Sophia cries out as she shivers. "So am I."Carl says. "We'll build a fire, Yeah?"Lori asks as Rick takes his coat off and gives it to Carl.

"You go out looking for firewood, stay close. Only got so many arrows. How you doing on ammo?"Dad asks. "Not enough."Rick says. "We can't just sit here with our asses hanging out." Maggie says. "Watch your mouth. Everyone stop panicking and listen to Rick."Hershal orders.

"Alright, we'll set up a perimeter. In the morning we'll find gas and some supplies. We'll keep pushing on."Rick decides. "Glenn and I can go make a run now, try and scrounge up some gas."Maggie suggests. "No, we stay together. God forbid something happens and people get stranded without a car."Rick says.

"Rick, we're stranded now."I state. "I know it looks bad, we've all been through hell and worse, but at least we found each other. I wasn't sure, I really wasn't, but we did. We're together. We keep it that way. We'll find shelter somewhere. There's gotta be a place."Rick says.

"Rick, look around. Okay? There's walkers everywhere. They're migrating or something."Glenn says. "There's gotta be a place not just where we hole up, but that we fortify, hunker down, pull ourselves together, build a life for each other. I know it's out there. We just have to find it."Rick urges.

"Even if we do find a place and we think it's safe, we can never be sure. For how long? Look what happened with the farm. We fooled ourselves into thinking that was safe."Maggie says. "We won't make that mistake again."Hershal says.

"We'll make camp tonight over there, got on the road at the break of day."Rick says pointing to a big of rock walls in a circle. "Does this feel right to you?"Carol asks my dad. "What if walkers come through or another group like Randalls?"Beth asks.

"You know I found Randall, right? He had turned, but he wasn't bit."Dad tells Rick. "How's that possible?"Beth asks. "Rick, what the hell happened?" Lori asks. "Shane killed Randall. Just like he always wanted too."Dad says. "And then the hers got him?"Lori asks.

"We're all infected."
