Carl's P.O.V

Today I was still feeling guilty about how Annie almost died. I could have been there to shoot the walker before it even got to her. I could have shot the other two that were coming to her.

I know she is still alive but I could have prevented what had happened.

I was in the cafeteria eating breakfast with Annie and Michonne. It was the same as always, 2 granola bars and small talk here and there. Annie was the first to finish and she headed to our cell.

"You better treat her right Carl" Michonne said to me.

"Trust me I will." I said with a smile to her. She smiled back.

Annie's P.O.V

When I got down eating I headed up stairs to mine and Carl's cell. I don't know why but today I just feel like doing nothing. I'm just so tired.

Carl walked in and I slowly walked over to him and hugged him. I burried my head in his chest. He smelt good for someone who fights walkers all day.

I shut my eyes and he rested his chin on my head.

After a few of just standing there he lifted up my chin making me look at him sleepily. I felt like a little ant standing under a giant. He was at least 5 inches taller then me.

He kissed me sweetly and held me again. I could stay here forever.

Later in the day I was with Hershel helping him with the others who were still sick. I had to wear a bandana around my nose and mouth so I wouldn't get infected again.

I filled cups with his special curing juice as he stopped at each cell helping the people sit up and drink it.

"You are very brave for doing all this Hershel. Stay back here helping everyone. We all thank you and are grateful for you." I said smiling at Hershel.

"Thank you sweetie. I love helping everyone get back to their feet." He said to me.

"Were you a doctor before all this happened?" I asked.

"Not exactly. I was a veterinarian" He answered.

I nodded and continued walking with him.

It was after lunch and I finished helping Hershel with everything.

"I'll be back." He said walking toward the back doors that lead to the forest.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Getting more berries for the juice. I am all out and need to make more." He said.

"You're not going allow." I protested.

He sighed, "I'll take Michonne to help me." He said and turned to go look for Michonne.

I said okay and headed outside to find Carl. He was arguing with Lizzie.

"You're naming them?" He asked her and the other kids sternly.

"Well, one of them has a name tag so, we thought all of them should." Mika said.

"They had names when they were alive they're dead now." Carl said.

"No they're not, they're just different." Lizzie said to Carl. He looked pissed.

"What the hell are you talking about? They don't talk, they don't think. They eat people, they kill people." Carl said.

"People kill people, they still have names." Lizzie said. She kinda had a point.

"Have you seen what happens? Have you seen someone die like that?" Carl asked.

Lizzie bit her lip, "Yeah, I have." I knew she was talking about her dad.

"They aren't people and they aren't pets. Don't name them." He said sternly.

Lizzie shook her head, "We're supposed to go read, come on." She said to the other kids.

I also shook my head, "Carl they're kids let them have fun!" I said. I was angry with him for doing what he just did.

"Oh great you think they're still people to." He said.

"No! You were being an asshole! They're kids! Try and let them have fun. They are living in a messed up world and just cause you think you've grown up and don't do 'kid' things, doesn't mean others can't do fun kid things." I said and stomped away heading to out cell.

I could here him walking after me but I just picked up the speed losing him behind.

I got to our cell and started pacing running my hands through my hair.

God I feel bad for Lizzie. He is such an ass to her. He knew her father died in front of her and he had the nerve to ask her if she seen someone die like that.

Carl walked in but I just kept pacing, clenching and unclenching my jaw.

"Annie stop." He said softly and grabbed my shoulders making me look at him. I was still clenching my jaw.

"You knew her father died in front of her and Mika and I can't believe you asked her if she seen someone die like that." I said.

He sighed, " I know I was being an asshole. I am going to apologize to her but I wanted to talk to you first." I didn't say anything. I just continued to look at him.

"I don't know why I was being so rude, I just wanted her to understand how the world is now. I didn't want to ruin their fun but she can't go on thinking they're still people." He explained.

"Carl, they can name them. They might be dead, they might not be people, they might kill and eat people, but they can still have names. Yes they are different now but a name sticks with you through death." I said.

"I know." He said.

"Well go apologize to Lizze and the others." I said.

Carl's P.O.V

I nodded and headed to the library where they had story time with Carol.

I walked in and saw Carol with a knie explaining to the kids how to use it.

 I crawled behind the book stand and listened with just my eyes peeking over.

I tried to be quiet but a book fell.

"Shit." I mumbled under my breath and looked up.

Carol was looking at me along with the kids.

I looked from her to the knife.

"Please don't tell your father." She said.

Annie's P.O.V

It was almost time for bed and Hershel and Michonne weren't back yet. They were just going to get berries. How long could that take.

I was out by the gate waiting for them. It was chilly and I was shivering. I felt a jacket drape over me.

"Babe, it's cold out here come inside. It's late and we should go to bed." Carl said to me hugging me from behind.

I sighed and walked inside with him.

We headed to our cell and got comfortable in bed.

We said our I love you's and both fell asleep.
