Chapter 29| Dead!

"Carl tell me why your crying." I said.

"Reasons, it's stupid." He said.

"What why just tell me who is it about?" I said.

"You! Your the problem!" He yelled.

"What me what did I do to you." I said.

"Everything! First you hate me! Then you actually get along with me and I think we could possibly be friends! But then I hear you talking about how your faking it! Then Garrett tells me you like me! And then you go and kiss Garrett!" He said.

"First of all, I did hate you but then you stood up for me and I thought ya maybe I could get along with him maybe we could be friends again and we did for that little bit! I told Nikki that I was pretending because I saw you hiding behind that barrel listening. Why would I admit that I actually thought you were maybe the tiniest bite cute! But not any more! You'll be lucky if you can fix our friendship!" I said and stormed off.

I ran to my cell holding back the tears. Garrett was bouncing his bouncy ball against the wall when he saw me he let the bouncey ball drop.

"Josie what's wrong." He said wrapping me in his arms.

I felt hot tears roll down my cheeks, I don't even know why I'm crying over Carl Grimes.

"Carl." I said as I cried into his shirt.

He picked me up and carried me to the bed. He cradled me in his arms while I cried. I eventually cried myself to sleep.

*********

I woke up with my head on Garrett's chest, his arms where around me. I got up without waking him and fell to the floor. I leaned up against the wall. My eyes where red and had dried tears. I grabbed my bag and set it on my lap. I started digging through my bag. I pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a old shirt. I got up and slipped them on. I brushed my hair and pulled it into a high ponytail. I looked in my mirror. I saw through my mirror that Garrett was stirring in bed. I turned around to see him sitting up with a bad bed head. I laughed.

"What you don't like my hair." He said grabbing my mirror.

He laughed and grabbed a brush.

"There better?" He asked.

I giggled.

"Much."

He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. I kissed his cheek and our hands intertwined. We walked out and out to the cafeteria. I sat down at a table. Garrett looked at me weird.

"Aren't you going to eat?" He asked.

"No I'm not hungry," I said.

"JD." He whined.

"Don't worry I'll eat just not right now." I said.

He nodded and went to get food. Beth and Dustin came over holding hands.

"Oh is little Dustin and Bethy a thing." I said teasing.

Beth smiled.

"Oh whatever you got someone too." Dustin said sitting down.

Nikki came and sat by me. She looked at Dustin and Beth's hands.

"Really I'm the only one." She said.

We laughed.

"There plenty of other people here." Dustin said.

Nikki rolled her eyes. Garrett came and sat by me.
