Lost (Carl Grimes love story; Completed)

Chapter 9

We stopped for the night in an abandoned store.

When everyone was asleep I walked to the bathroom and looked at myself in the cracked mirror and sighed.

I started crying and couldn't stop. I walked out of the bathroom and went to an isle that had the razors. I walked back into the bathroom took the blades out of the razor with a pair of tweezers rolled my sleeves up and did my thing (Thang.... lol I know it's not an appropriate time but I had to). After about 5 minutes of crying and cutting I threw the blade in the corner and wiped all the blood off and rolled down my sleeves starting to quietly bawl my eyes out.

I heard a slight knock and I jumped looking at the door from the corner on the room. The door slowly opened and Carl walked in. I wiped my eyes and looked up at him.

"What are you doing in here?"

"Well if someone didn't wake me up I wouldn't even be in here." He rolled his eyes.

I furrowed my brows and stood up "I'm sorry."

"Whatever" He turned around and walked to the door.

"Geez who pissed in your cornflakes." I mumbled.

"You did!" He said in a loud whisper turning around to face me.

I crossed me arms but it stung, I breathed in through my teeth and uncrossed my arms. "Ah" I whispered.

"You're not bit are you." He asked backing up

"No!" I whispered

"Let me see your arm." He said with a dark scary tone.

"Why do you care." I huffed

"Cause I don't wanna die." Carl rolled his eyes.

"Look I'm not bit okay! If I was I wouldn't be here right now." I said stepping closer to him getting angry.

He breathed in and looked into my eyes and his face softened.

I stared in his eyes with anger.

"You know your cute when your mad" He said in a deep voice smirking

I shivered. Wait he just hated me and now he's calling me cute? I rolled my eyes and walked past him bumping his shoulder with mine.

I walked over to the kids and layed next to them drifting to sleep.

One week later

We found a place we are going to stay in.

It's a small one story orphanage. We cleared it out and boarded it up.

We all have a room of our own. I share a room with the kids though.

The kids are with Beth and Judith. Beth adores kids and she's like the babysitter around here. Maggie and I have gotten close. I can tell we are getting along. Carl is a flirt. I mean I don't mind him flirting with me but I can't like him. Not in this world.

I was cut from my thoughts by a knock on the door.

"Hey Liz." It's Carl..

Ugh I hate being called that and he knows it.

"Hi." I rolled my eyes and looked at him

"No need to be mean." he said leaning against the door frame.

I looked at him and started zoning out thinking of how perfect he was. His hair, his perfect skin, his face, his eyes... oh his eyes, their like ice. Beautiful ice..

"So is that a no?" He said looking at me breaking me from my thoughts.

"Huh what?" I said as my cheeks turned red.

"I said, do you want to go on a run with Glenn, my dad and I." He said raising his eyebrows.

"Oh uh yeah." I said getting up.

Carl handed me a gun. "My dad said you can have a weapon now."

I nodded and put it in the back of my pants.

I walked to the main area of the orphanage, kissed the kids cheeks and said goodbye.

Rick, Carl, Glenn and I walked down the road and found three stores.

"Okay since there is three, I'll go in one Glenn will go in one and since yall are so young I want y'all to stay together and go in that store and in 15 minutes we meet up outside the stores." Rick said looking at us.

They all nodded and I rolled my eyes taking out my gun and walking into the store with Carl.

We checked the store and saw no scratchers so we started getting nessesary supplies.

I walked over to the medication to find some pain relievers. I bent down to pick up a few bottles I saw on the ground.

"Nice." I heard a voice behind me say.

I jumped and hit my head on a shelf. "Ow!" I yelled holding the back of my head looking at him in anger.

He held his hands up in surrender backing up and walking to a diffrent isle smirking. That damn smirk.

I walked to a isle and saw cans of corn on the top shelf. Me being the short person I am, I stood up on my tip toes and started taking the cans off the shelf. Carl walked by and looked at me then my arm. I realized that as I was reaching for the can my sleeve was down a bit.

My eyes widened and I looked at Carl with worry and shook my head starting to cry. His eyes widened as well. I turned around and started to run but I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, and we both fell to our knees, his arms still wrapped around me from behind.

I started bawling and I felt Carl's breath on my neck.

I turned my head and looked at him. He loosened his grip and I turned my body around to face him. I stared into his eyes and he stared into mine.

"Why did you do that?" He said in a deep voice.

"I've been doing it for about a year." I sniffled looking down at my wrist.

"Can I see your wrists." He asked.

I hesitantly brought my arms closer to him and he pulled up my sleeves, He kissed my scars on both arms. "Don't do this.." He said into my wrist.

I looked up and a tear fell down my cheek.

I looked at him and he raised his head and looked at me. He let go of my wrists and held my face with both hands wiping my tears. I smiled a bit and his face turned serious. He looked into my eyes then to my lips then back to my eyes.

He started leaning in. Oh god.. This is happening... I've only known him for a week.

I turned my head and stood up.

"I'm sorry" I said wiping away my tears.

He cleared his throat, stood up grabbed his bag and walked out.

I stood there watching him leave.

I walked over to my bag put the cans of corn in and walked out.

The walk "home" was quiet besides Rick and Glenn talking.

I looked over at Carl he was walking with an angry/hurt/embarrassed expression. Jeez I never knew you could be all of those at once..

When we got to the orphanage Carl stormed to his room and slammed the door.

Everyone looked at eachother.

"Boys" Maggie said.
