Chapter 19 - Silence

Pic of Dan on side.... It's Caspar lee iK haha

Dan's POV

"My real Dad." I froze at her words. I always knew she'd find out. But how?

FLASHBACK*

"Dan, *cough cough* (he's coughing up blood here) once Chloe finds out about her real Dad, tell her we are very sorry and that we never meant to keep it from her." Dad said with his hand on his bite. It was on his stomach.

"I will Dad, I promise."

And those were my last words to him.

FLASHBACK END*

"W-what? How?" I asked.

"He's here." My stomach dropped more. I must look like a ghost right now. "You want to meet him? I think he'd be really excited to see you." I heard her sarcasm.

"Chloe yo- you've got to listen. Dad told me to tell you this. Before he died. He said for me to tell you that him and mom love you and that they are sorry. They never meant to keep it from you."

"But why? Did they tell you that too?" She said angrily.

I saw something black underneath her eyes. I squinted to get a better look. She quickly turned away.

"Chloe? Are you... Are you ok?" I asked. What the hell was that?

"Oh ya it's nothing..." She quickly said. "I'll catch you later."

I watched her walk off quickly into the prison.

Chloe's POV

I took off to the prison, taking deep breaths I felt the black veins go away. I smashed into a body. I looked up and a boy with glasses on.

"Sorry! Um, I haven't met you yet... I'm Patrick!"

"Chloe." I said.

"Oh nice to meet you!"

"Yeah you too. Sorry to bump into you, I wasn't looking, it was my fault."

"Nah your good! I was just about to meet some of the other kids. I think they are at the fences."

"I'll come with you, let me just put some supplies away." He nodded and walked off.

I ran out to the truck again and unloaded the duffel bags into the prison. I walked off to see Patrick.

I saw a group of kids laughing and pointing at walkers, saying random peoples names. I walked up to them.

Patrick was off to the side shaking his head. Once I was there I asked,

"What are you doing?"

"We saw that one had a name tag in him, so we decided to name them." A girl said.

"Wait, your naming them?" I heard a harsh voice beside me say. I saw Carl standing beside me. I was surprised that these kids were naming them.

"They eat people. Have you seen that?" He said coldly.

"Yes." Said a girl with blonde hair.

"They aren't people. Don't name them." Carl added.

"C'mon we are going to be late for story time." A girl said and I saw the group walk off, Patrick included.

"What? I could be childish." He said smiling. Carl rolled his eyes.

Out of ear shot I told him,

"Did you seriously have to be that harsh?"

"They are naming walkers."

"Yeah I know but that doesn't mean you can be cold about it. They are just kids."

"Would you just back off?" He yelled.

"No! You have to stop acting like a jerk all the time. I think everybody is getting sic-" I was interrupted be lips getting crashed onto mine. I felt a weird feeling in my stomach, my heart beating really fast. What is happening to me. What is this feeling?

Carl is kissing me, I felt my cheeks burn red.

I pushed him away.

"Why the hell did you kiss me?" I asked. Silence.

"Forget it."

I walked to the prison letting the doors slam shut behind me. My heart was still beating really fast, and my cheeks were still flushed a shade of red. I overheard the group talking about putting a farm and showers in.

"Ye good?" Dad asked me. I nodded in response.

I glanced Dan's way. He was staring at us.

"By any chance, have you met a guy named Dan?" I asked.

"No."

"Oh you should meet him, he's over there..." I said quickly while pointing. While Dad wasn't looking, I slipped away and into my cell.

I laid on the bunk thinking about Carl. I never got his answer,

Why did he kiss me?

I got that weird warm feeling in my stomach. butterflies almost.... No..
