The Apocalypse Love

First Day On The Job.

Just when  I start to relax in my tent Carl pops in. 

"Hey Claire how did you sleep."

" It was fantastic it was  the first time I have slept in a secure location in forever I cant remeber the last time I slept that much in one night."

" Thats great ... Well I got your Job assignment my Dad said that you will be doing odd jobs where we need the extra help."

Well I wonder what Job I got stuck with?

"What job did I get stuck with?"

" You and I are going on a run. We are running low on canned goods and my Dad thought it would be great to see how you work in a group setting."

A run OMG I love going on runs just to get out of camp for a few hours."

" Really I love going on runs at my old camp they always use to send me everywhere."

" Really apparently I choice the right partner than."

" Yeah you did what are you waiting for lets go."

*5 minutes later*

Carl came running up with a pack of supplys anf two fully loaded handguns.Im not the greatest shot but Im still pretty good.Carl handed me the gun I took it hesintantly.He replied to my gesture.

" What do you not know how to shot a gun" with a smurk on his face.

Really he thinks a survived this long without knowing how to shot. Wow everyone now in days know how to shot.

" Of course I do I was the best shot at my old camp."

He looked surorised when I said that does he think im bluffing or is he truly surprised.

He replied" Well Im one of the best shots in my camp"

" Little bit cocky I see. Well a little birdy told me different."

" Oh really youll just have to wait and see than.Come on lets go on the run."

We leaft camp around noon Carl said we should be back around this time tomorrow. We started to walk out of camp until Noah came running for us.

Noah Yelled" Wait you forgot something. You forgot your walkie takie"

He handed it to us and ran off once again.

* 1 Hour later*

We were only about 5 miles away from camp when we heard a sudden noise.

*THUMP*

" What Was That' Carl screamed.

Suddenly A walker pushed him from behind and knocked him onto the ground. Carl tried to reach for his gun but it was pinned under him. He tahn looked at me and,

Said " Claire Get Him Kill Him"

Before I knew it I pushed the walker off of Carl, and started to stomp on his head. Suddenly my mind went blank . And the next thing I knew was that I was in Carls arms.I must have hugged him after I killed the walker because I was scared of losing him.

He replied with" Wow, someone likes me."

I started to blush and punched him in the arm and said " I just didnt feel like explaining to your father how you died."

Him and I both started laughing. We got up drank some water and continued our run.

* A few hours later*

" Well I guess this is where we should dearch for some cans and than hide out in an abanded building tonight and set camp."

We searched the building around both of us finding a backpack full off cans each. We decided to sent camp in an old public Library. Where it would be easy to escape if need be. We started a fire and just started to talk about whatever came to mind.Carl decided to ask me some questions.

" Hey Claire you take about your previous camp alot can I ask what happened?"

Oh God why does he have to ask about this but I have to get this off my chest at some point.

" Yeah I dont  mind well when I got to my last camp my parents and my sisters were still alive, my older sister died on a run for ammo."

" Oh Im sorry to hear that what was her name."

" Her name was Julia she bugged the hell out of me but I miss her to death now "

" I would to"

" My parents and my other sisters died when a herd of walkers took over our camp. I tried to get to them as fast as I could but I was to late. My mom and one of my little sisters had died from blood losss before I got to them. But my dad and other sister were still alive they begged me to pull the trigger  so they wouldnt have to become the undead. What was I suppose to do let them become one of those things and rip apart another family? I had to I couldnt take their suffering anymore."

I started to cry and Carl came up to me and let me cry on his shoulder.

" Its not yor fault you did the best you could. I felt like that when I couldnt help my mom right before she died. But I finally came to relize that it wasnt my fault that I couldnt do anything about it that even if I could of helped her she still would have been in pain. Is their anything else that you need to get off your chest."

" Well actually their is some men came into our camp and started to takeover and they were not nice men. They would take all the women and try to rape them. But when they were going to try to do that to me I said enough was enough and I killed their leader. After I got the point across to the rest of the man they left. But I didnt want to kill that man he was just hurting so many of us."

" Dont get upset about this Claire...everyone has to do what is best for their safety and for the safety of their group I had to kill a few people to help my group out. But after a while I relized that if i didnt do what I had done at least ahlf my group would have died.

Wow Carl is so nice trying to cheer me up. I tear ran down my check and Carl corresed it away. And tucked my hair behind my ear. And leaned in and kissed me. 

" Carl what was that for"

" I like you and you deserved a kiss."

" Well thanks"

" No thanks you"

We both smiled at eachother. And fell asleep cudeling. And he never left my side that night.
