Every Rose Has A Thorn

Chapter 24

Carl pov

I watched silently as Cher fell to the ground. I snapped out of my trance and caught her before she hit the ground. I picked her up and started running towards the group.

"Help!" I yelled as I held her

She was limp as a rag doll and all I saw was blood on her shirt. I finally got to the group. Glenn ran up and grabbed her.

"Get her to my cell." said Hershel

Glenn ran inside and put her on the bunk.

"You need to leave." said Hershel pushing me out

Cherokees pov

I was screaming. All I felt was burning. I couldn't move at all. What the hell was going on.

"Hold her down." I heard someone say

I looked up and saw bright light then everything went black.
---------
I woke up and heard talking. Most of it was blurry.

"We can't stay here."

"We can't even go outside."

"Rick says we're not running."

"Yeah we'll stay here and live like rats.

I tried to stand up but fell back down.

"Whatcha doin? I heard

I looked up and saw Bailey.

"I must be high." I muttered

"Nope you're still normal. Now I asked you a question." she said

"I'm gettin up what's it look like." I snapped

She walked over to me and put me back on the bunk.

"The hell." I said and looked at her

"Pretty boys orders." she said and walked away

I looked up and saw Carl.

"Help me up!" I demanded

"No." he said

"Yes." I said back

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"No."

"Yes. Wait a minute." he said

I looked at him in triumph.

"Now help." I snapped

He walked over to me and picked up.

"I said help not carry." I growled

"You said up." he said and carried me out of the cell

We walked out, everybody looked at us.

"The hell happened!" my dad yelled

"I was shot." I said sweetly

Carl put me down on a step. He walked outside.
-----------
Hershel made me sit back inside my cell to get some rest. I was bored out of my mind. Beth walked in with Judith.

"Hey." she said and sat down

"Hi." I said back

"You want to hold her?" she asked

I held my arms out. Beth laid her down in my arms.

"You want to walk around?" she asked

I looked up hopeful.

"C'mon." she said and helped me up

I could walk on my own I just had a little limp. We walked downstairs into the cafeteria. Michonne and Carol were in there. I sat down. Uncle Merle came in.

"Smart to stay fit." he said

"You shot me." She said
--------
I was outside with Carl.

"There's something weird out there." he said to Maggie

"Andrea get your dad and the others." she said to us
--------
They ran outside. Rick grabbed her.
Carl and I walked down there.

"Welcome back." Rick said
----
They walked in the cell block.

"Where's Shane, and Lori?" she asked

"She had a girl she didn't make it." said Hershel

"Neither did T-Dog." said Maggie

"I'm so sorry." she said

I walked into my cell and grabbed Judith. I stared down at her.

"I'm so sorry you'll have to live in this world." I said to her
---------
I walked out of my cell holding Judith. Andrea ran up the stairs.

"I couldn't leave without seeing Lil Ass Kicker." she said

"Can I hold her?" she asked

"Sure." I said and handed her over

"Let me guess Daryl named her Ass Kicker?" she asked

Carol laughed.

"That's not really her name is it?" she asked

"It's Judith." I said

"What happened to Lori?" she asked

"During a c-section, Maggie, Carl had to." she said

"Oh my god." she whispered

"T-Dog died saving me." she said

"Shane?" asked Andrea

"Rick killed him." I said
-------
We got Andrea a car so she would be safer.

"Take care." she said and got in

"Andrea be careful." Rick said and gave her a gun

She drove off.
