Chapter 20: Standing Up

Chapter 20| Standing Up

I woke up with my head still laying on Garrett's bare chest. He was awake playing with my hair. I sat up slowly untangling myself from his arms.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked as I yawned and stretched.

"I didn't want to wake you." He said putting a grey shirt on.

"Your a great pillow." I teased.

"Oh I'm glad." He said sarcasm.

We walked out the door to the cafeteria. Beth and Nikki were at a table adoring Judith.

"Hey you two." Garrett said.

"Oh hey." Beth said as they both turned around to face us

"Carl was looking for you, I think you are getting force to go on a run with him." Nikki said.

I groaned.

"I'm not going if he can't find me." I said.

"I think they all ready did." Garrett said. I turned to see Carl and Kohl.

"Lost your little posey?" I said.

Kohl smirked.

"Seems like you gained one, like it's any good." He said.

"Well you only have Carl and that's not much I can pin him." I said with my hand on my hip. Garrett was standing right by me which was odd I'm use to standing up for myself. Not having some to back me up but he was.

"It's true I watched." Beth said and Nikki laughed.

"You got little cowboy here. Who moved to the big city, he left ya too." Carl said.

I looked at him shocked because he hasn't said anything to me after Clarke, I wasn't planing on talking to him either.

"Shut up Grimes." I scoffed.

"Oh so you can talk now can ya." He said.

I glare at him and anger boiled up inside.

"Grimes, I wouldn't start this." I warned.

"OOO so sc- he never finished because I punched him right square in the nose. He touched it and blood was on his hands.

"Bitch." He mumbled.

"I warned ya not to go there." I said and turned to face Daryl and Rick.

"Uh, hey." I said.

Out of the corner of my eye I watched Beth and Nikki hurry off.

"Your coming on a run with us," Daryl sad as Rick went of examine Carl bloody nose.

"It's not broken" Garrett said. "She didn't hit him hard enough."

Daryl glared at me.

"They asked for it." I said pointing at them.

"And just when I thought you and Carl would get along." Rick said.

"Ya like that is ever gonna happen." I said.

"Apologize right now!" Daryl order.

"He has done to much, I'm never ever gonna forgive him!" I yelled

I stormed out. I went down to the field and sat down by the graves, Lori, T-Dog, Axel, the three crosses we made for Merle, Andrea and Clarke. Even though no one knew Clarke but me we still made him one. I sat there staring at all the crosses wondering when mine will be here. When I will have a cross of my own to go at the top of my grave, when I will not have to wake up and see these freaks, when I can look down and see everyone fight on without me, when I can see the people I have missed. I heard the grass move behind me and looked over to see Garrett approaching me. He came and sat down by me not saying a word, just taking my hand, he squeezed it. The wind blew my hair back, I didn't put it up or anything, I was to lazy.
