Chapter 14: Betrayed

Chapter 14| Betrayed

Carl and I walked back in silence. We walked up to the little room to see Rick patching up his arm and Michonne sitting on a box eating another bag of chips. Morgan was tied up in a corner.

"Uh what's going on?" I asked.

"We are leaving." Rick said.

"With him?" Carl asked.

"No I'm staying here kid." Morgan said.

Michonne untied him and we grabbed our bags of guns. We headed out and walked back to the car. I didn't even want to know what happened.

"Did you guys get what you needed?" Rick asked.

I nodded.

"A crib and baby supplies too." Carl said.

"Good." Rick said as we climbed in. The drive home was quiet no one said a word. Until we got to the gates. I hoped out and carried some guns in. Merle was standing there but I didn't feel like talking to him.

"Hey we need to talk." He said as I walked by.

"I can't. Busy." I said and walked past him.

He grabbed my arm.

"We need to talk. Please" He repeated.

"On second thought I'm not busy, I just don't wanna talk to you." With that I pulled my arm away from him.

I left the bags on the table and went straight to mine and Beth's cell. Beth was rocking Judith.

"How was the run?" She asked.

"Ok I guess." I said.

"You got more stuff it looks like." She said.

"Oh ya I went back to my house and I'm sure that there's some clothes that could fit you." I said.

"No I was meaning that picture." She said.

I felt my pocket it wasn't in there. I looked down and saw it on the ground along with the bracelet Carl can't know I took them. I quickly picked it up and slid it back in my pocket.

"This it's just a picture of my friends." I said.

I didn't want to show her cause Carl was in it.

She nodded.

Speaking of the devil, Carl walked in with the crib.

"Beth do you want this in the cell next to you?" He asked.

"Uh ya. Josie take this stuff in there please." Beth said as she handed me a bag of baby supplies.

I took it and followed Carl. I put it on the bed and turned to walk out. A hand grabbed my arm I turned to see Carl.

"Let go of me." I said but he had a tight grip.

"I'm sorry, I'm such a jerk to leave you Nikki, and Garrett. I shouldn't have left you guys exceptionally you." He said.

"Carl, what's done is done." I said.

"But we can change it." He said.

I shook my head and walked out. I went into the tombs, with a flashlight. I just needed some time to cool off. I pulled out the picture. Looked down at it. Nikki and me where each on a swing. Garrett pushing Nikki, Carl pushing me. I couldn't help but smile at my face in the picture. For once I was happy. I was happy when I was with them. Then Carl had to ruin it.

Flashback

"So this morning my little brother spilt Cheerios everywhere on the floor." Nikki went on and on.
