What if it's us~ Carl Grimes Gay

Chapter 24

Max Dixon's POV

After the prisoners went outside Carl and I headed back to our cell. We sat down on the bottom bunk and cuddled. Then we heard T calling out for us. We quickly head to the door and open it for him. "Foods here."T states as he carrying an some boxes.

"What do you got?"Carl asks. "Canned beef, canned corn, canned cans. Theres a lot more where this came from."T states as he and Rick walk in and set them down before walking back out only to come back with more and more food. Before finishing and heading off with the prisoners.

Carl and I were left alone yet again. "I wish we could help do something." Carl sighs. "Maybe we can."I state. "What?"He asks as he sits up. "Well, we could go find the infirmary and get some stuff for Hershal."I explain.

"Let's do it."Carl says as he stands up. "Woah, slow down, cowboy."I chuckle as I stand up. I grab my crossbow while Carl grabs his silencer pistol and some flashlight before we head out. We walk over to the Glenn tellingbhim we're gonba go organize the food before We sneak out through the cellblock door which Carl unlocks before locking it behind us as we start down a hallway.

We follow the hallway before coming to 1 going left and 1 going right. We take the one on the right and head down it. This hallway was a dead end so we went back and took the other hallway instead. We walked down it before coming to a set of doors labeled informary.

"On 3. 1...2...3"I whisper before we open the doors and head in. There were 2 walkers so we each shot one before looking around. "There's not much left but it'll work."I state. Carl nods before grabbing a bag and shoving everything into it. I quickly come over and help until we got it all.

"Come on, let's get back before everyone realizes were gone."I say. Carl leads the way as we head back to the cellblock. We get to the door and Carl unlocks it before we head in and locks back up.

We head over to the others as Glenn looks at us. "I thought you two were organizing the food?"He asks. "Even better."Carl says as we walk into the cell to see everyone in it around Hershal. Carl sets the bag down and opens it up. "Where did you get this?"Carol asks as they all start grabbing stuff out.

"From the infirmary. Wasn't much left, but we cleared it out."Carl explains. "You went, just the 2 of you?"Lori asks. "Yeah."Carl says. "Are you crazy?"She asks. "No big deal. We killed 2 walkers."Carl says.

"You, alright, you see this?"Lori asks gesturing to Hershal. "This was with the whole group."Lori states. "We needed supplies, so we got them."Carl argues. "I appreciate that, but-"Lori was cut off. "Then get off my back!"
Carl yells.

"Carl! She's your mother. You can't talk to her like that."Beth says. "Well she doesn't act like it."Carl says before walking away. Everyone was now looking at me. "Did you talk him I to this?"Lori asks angrily. "No, he wanted to help since you all just think he's a good for nothing kid, so I let him help."I state before walking away.

I head back up to our cell an see Carl inside laying on the bottom bunk with his face buried in the pillow. I sit down next to him and rub him back. "Hey, kiddo, you okay?"I ask. "No."He mumbles. "Want to talk about it?"I ask. "No, just cuddle me."Carl says as he scoots over. I carefully lay down and wrap my arms around his form as he cuddles into my chest.

"What do you think of the prisoners?" Carl asks. "I think they're dangerous. They were put in here for god knows what and I don't trust them."I admit. "Yeah, you're right. Let's stay away from them."Carl decides.

Then we heard Beth screaming. We quickly got up and ran downstairs to Hershals cell. Hershal had stopped breathing. Lori than quickly goes up to him as Beth and Maggie hold each other. Lori then starts to give Hershal mouth to mouth CPR.

At first, nothing happened. Then when Lori went to blow air onto Hershals mouth, his arms wrapped around her head. Beth screamed as I pushes Carl behind me and pulled Lori out of Hershals arms.

Then Hershal fell back asleep. Everyone was still freaked out as we watched Hershal. I then turned to check on Carl and saw that he had his pistol out and was pointing it at Hershal. I lift my hand up and lower his gun before he put it back away.

After that Glenn came back in and we stood outside Hershals cell just in case. That's when Rick, T and my dad came back in. "Hershal stopped breathing. Mom saved him."Carl says. "It's true."Glenn says. Rick nods before heading into the cell. Followed by eberyone else.

We all watched as Hershal slept. Then he opened his eyes. "Daddy?"Maggie asks as she leans forward. "Daddy."Beth laughs as she too leans forward. Rick then took off the handcuffs that he had put on Hershal as Maggie and Beth hug him. Hershal then reaches his hand up towards Rick and he takes it.

Hershal smiles at him as everyone smiles. Then Lori walks out followed by Rick. Carl smiles as he holds my hand. I squeeze it as I hug him close. Maybe everything was starting to look up to us.
