Reckless (1) Carl Grimes

8||Awake

Cynthia

I've been asleep for two days straight and missed a lot. I don't remember much of what happened before or after surgery. It was strange. Looking around the bedroom, I recognize the patterns and lamps. I was in the guest bedroom and it was quiet besides the soft snores next to me.

I realized it was dark out and looked to my right only to see Carl sleeping there next to me. My heart warmed as my skin gained heat again. A small smile appeared on my lips as his head went to the crook of my neck.

"He wouldn't leave you, ya know." I heard and carefully turned my head to see Rick smiling. "He cares about you. The way he talks about you, it's like he wants to talk forever." he continued and I felt a sudden rush of tiredness come over me.

Rick noticed and said," Get some sleep, I'll explain what happened earlier tomorrow. Goodnight, Sin." And then walked out.

I turned my head back so I was facing the ceiling. Before I knew it, sleep over took me.

My mind was mentally awake while my body slept some more. The only problem was I couldn't. Opening my eyes, I found myself alone.

Getting out of bed, I walked to my bedroom. Going to my closet, I grabbed a black mid thigh dress with sleeves reaching my elbows, knee high black boots, ripped black leggings, a bright red leather jacket, and black fingerless gloves reaching my elbows. After getting dressed, I heard a knock on my door.

Furrowing my eyebrows, I opened the door with the wave of my hand. Maggie stood there, eyes wide. Probably because I was sitting on my bed which is on the other side of the room.

"Hey, Magg's." I said and she walked in with a smile." Hey. How're you feeling?" she asked and I just shrugged my shoulders. "Fine I guess, can't really feel anything." I answered.

She nodded and held her hand out for me." C'mon, everyone's waiting." I took her hand and we both walked outside. The sun was hot and bright so I just took off my jacket and tied it around my waist.

I spotted Shane, Rick, T-Dog, and Andrea by one of the trucks. I walked up behind them and taped Shane's shoulder. He jumped in surprise and spun around, his eyes wide.

"Hey, I just wanted to thank you for getting the supplies and equipment my dad needed." I said but my mind said something else.

'Let's see how long he lasts before snapping.' I thought and he hesitantly nodded and I walked away.

What I remembered after the surgery was letting myself haunt but also travel without my body. This was gonna be fun by far.

I stood in my bedroom once again. Only this time, I was stretching in only a sports bra and my ripped leggings.

I heard a knock and stopped, looking towards the door, I saw Carl but he was blushing. I looked down at myself and I could feel my face heat up, remembering what I was wearing. "Sorry." I quickly said and sped to my bathroom with just a whoosh. Closing the door, I quickly slipped my black dress on.

Walking out of my bathroom, I stopped. A gunshot rang through our ears.

Apparently Andrea almost killed Daryl by accident, there was another clue that Sophia could be alive. Rick explained what happened earlier. I slept in my bed that I haven't gotten used to yet because it was too soft. Which I why I slept on the floor with a pillow.
