S2: Ep5. "Chupacabra"

I miraculously woke up before Glenn, sliding out from his arms carefully I rummage through my bag and grab a pair of ripped blue skinny jeans and a red tank top with combat boots and my sheath. I unzipped the tent stepping outside and zipping it back up most of the way before walking up to the house to see Carl.

I peak my head in the door and see Carl sitting up against a few pillows. "Hey, little dude. How ya feelin'?" he shrugs "Sore but dad says I get to wear his hat since we've both been shot" he exclaims excitedly and I giggle, I walk over to the bed and sit on the edge. He looks down on my shoulder and stares at my healing wound.

I follow his gaze to my shoulder and I slide down the strap of my top and bra slightly so he can see it better. "Look I'm in the club too" he laughs for a moment before becoming serious again. Well as serious as a 12-year-old can get. "Dad and Hershel said that if you weren't there I would be dead"

I hushed him and grab his small hand holding it in mine. "Don't think like that..okay? You're here and that is all that matters" He nods. A knock in the doorway turns our heads there to find Hershel "Just checking in, I wanted to check your badges" Hershel says directly at Carl. "I will leave you to it." I say and pat Carl's leg before leaving the room.

I decided that I wanted to put my hair up and went into the bathroom, I pulled two sections back braiding them and pinning them back into the rest of my hair and a bun. When I walked out of the bathroom I passed one of the few bedrooms and saw beth sitting on her bed looking at a mirror and trying to do her hair. I stopped in the doorway "Hey Beth...would you like me to do your hair?" I ask. 

She smiled immediately at my offer and patted the bed next to her. "How did you learn how to do this?" She asks I sigh "My mom taught me" she stays quiet for a moment "Is Lori your mom?" she asks and I can hear the nervousness in her voice. I smile slightly at the thought "No. No, she is my family though. My..my mom didn't make it" she grabs one of my hands and turns her head to look at me "I lost my mamma too"

We smile sympathetically at each other before I turn her back around so I can finish her hair. I braided the top part of her hair into two sections and pulled it into a ponytail. I tie a band around her hair keeping it in a ponytail and drop my hands in my lap "All set" She looks in the mirror and squeals "I love it! Thank you, Aubree" I smile "Of course anytime"

Beth went to go help Patricia with her 'daily chores' as she called them so I decided to go and sit out on the porch again. When I walked outside I found Glenn sitting in a rocking chair playing around strumming a guitar. "Where'd you find that?" I ask while sitting down in the chair next to him.

"Dale found it on the highway." He looks around and sees no one around, he turns back to me and whispers with a smirk, "You know, we still have 11 condoms." My eyes widen and I smack his chest with the back of my hand "Glenn!" he laughs "I'm just saying" I roll my eyes "You are such a dork"
