The Other Dixon || c.g

•seven• we can handle it

She stood to come help when one of the main logs holding the fence up snapped behind her. The walkers started to push harder almost bringing down the fence. Addi turned around quickly holding the fence up and dad and i joined trying to help. Before we knew it another log broke and the section of the fence we were holding came crashing down.

*Carls POV*

"Run!'' Was all i heard before i grabbed Addison's hand and ran with dad close behind us. More walkers than i could count were spilling into the prisons first gate. I turned just as dad fell and stopped to help him get through the second fence.

''Addi keep running'' I pulled dad off the ground and pulled him through to get behind the second fence.

"What do we do?'' Addison asked referring to all the walkers trying to push down the second fence.

"Maybe i could back the bus up against the fence'' My dad answered her.

"Will it hold?'' I asked him. He just looked at us with a worried expression.

''Lets go'' dad pushed us towards the prison. We ran up to where the guns and ammo is kept and i grabbed a machine gun, handing one to Addi. She looked as worried as i felt.

"I wont let anything happen to you, Okay?'' I said to her and she only nodded, i turned to follow my dad.

"Carl?'' I heard voice say behind me. I turned and felt her lips smash onto mine and i kissed her back. She pulled away looking like she needed to tell me something but her eyes and our quick kiss said it all. I knew she didn't like showing people how she felt and she thought fear was weakness but i could see she was scared. But she was a Dixon and with all my experience with Dixons I've learnt that they know how to handle themselves. So even if she didn't know it, i knew that we were going to be fine.

"I love you too'' She nodded and followed my dad with me right by her side.

''All right magazine goes in here, release is here. Make sure it latches, pull back the operating rod. The round feeds up, hold down for rapid fire okay?'' Dad explained to us how to use the guns and he turned to me.

''You shoot or you run, don't let em get close okay?'' I nodded at him, he turned to Addi.

''Same goes for you, stay safe the both of you'' dad said then turned to the walkers that have now broken through the gate. We all raised our guns and rapid fire broke though the screams from the sick block and the moans of the walkers. After 10 minutes they were all taken down to the ground, most dead but you could still hear the gruesome sounds from some of the live ones. We each grabbed a sharp metal pole they use to kill walkers through the fence and stabbed the last ones on the ground that were still alive. We did it in silence and when we were done we put the guns back.

''Are you okay?'' I asked Addi while dad put the poles back.

"I'm fine, I've just never had to do anything like that before...''

''You get used to it'' I shrugged. She smiled at me and kissed my cheek before seeing an approaching van.

*Addison's POV*

''Daryl..'' I whispered more to myself than Carl. I ran off to the main gate ready to see him, He's been gone for two days and he always promised he wouldn't leave again. Carl and Rick opened and closed the gates.

''Sasha, Wheres Sasha?'' The man who i'm guessing is Tyreese asked jumping out of the van before it had even stopped. I stopped listening after that, i went around to the drivers seat and hugged Daryl tightly before he even got two feet on the ground.

"Hey little one, you're alright. Quick help us get this medicine to Hershel'' He ran around to the boot and i followed him, grabbing all the medicine i could carry and headed to the sick block. I dropped it off, said goodnight to Daryl and headed back to the quarantine building where we would be spending the night. When i got there Carl was already fast asleep. I lifted up the blanket and laid down in the makeshift bed next to him, when i got comfortable he instinctively put his arm around me in his sleep and i snuggled closer to him.

"Good morning princess" I heard an adorable morning voice whisper in my ear. I rolled over to face him.

"Morning Carl" I yawned and looked up at him, he kissed me on the forehead.

"After what happened last night I've made it my mission to make the two most important girls in my life smile everyday'' I pulled away and looked at him.

"I like that idea, i could get used to that'' i told him with a smile.

''Anything to make my girlfriend happy'' He smirked.

''Girlfriend?'' I raise an eyebrow. ''So you're putting a label on us now are you?'' I continued.

''Yeah I am. You're mine.'' He laughed and kissed me.

''That's funny because i don't recall you asking me if i wanted that title'' I teased him pulling back from his kiss.

"Addison Dixon, will you be my girl?"

"Of course I will be" I laughed as he rolled on top of me kissing me and tickling me for mocking him about wanting to make it 'official'as if we weren't already together. I knew in that moment that from then on no matter what would happen everything would be okay and Carl will always be by my side.
