My life in the apocalypse

Chapter 3

*roxie's p.o.v*

After our little reunion and catching up with each other me and my dad went inside to eat the deer that he killed when he went hunting.

After we ate it was time for everyone to go to bed. "Goodnight!" I called out to everyone. "Goodnight!" They all say back. I then hug my dad once again and go lay down and slowly drift off.

*next day*

I wake up to Rick lightly shaking me so he can show me my chores. "Okay let me just get ready." I say groggily. "Okay but be quick. You have a lot to do today." He says and walks out.

I get out of bed and start getting ready. I change into a pair of kinda short shorts and a tank top. I pull my long black hair into a messy bun and put on my shoes. I look more like my dad but I have my moms hair. When I'm done I look on the top bunk for Carl but he isn't there. He must be doing his chores.

I walk out of the cell and walk over to the garden where Rick is standing. "I'm ready to work." I say. "Okay. Well then let's get started." He says.

*a few hours later*

When I was done with all my chores I walk inside to go find Carl. I haven't seen that boy all day.

I finally find him and walk up to him. "Hi!" I say loudly into his ear making him jump. "Oh my gosh! You scared me!" He said while putting his hand on his chest. I laugh and say "What do you want to do?" "Do you want to go take a walk around the gates?" He asks while adjusting his hat. "Sure." I say.

When we get outside we start walking to the gates. His hand accidentally grazes mine and he quickly pulls back and blushes. "Sorry." He says. "It's ok." I say blushing to. I mean who wouldn't blush? He is so handsome. His smile could brighten anyone's day.

When my hand grazed hers I immediately blushed. She is so beautiful. With her blue eyes, her long black hair, her smile, and her cute blush. I could go on for hours about this girl. She is perfect.

*roxie's p.o.v.*

We get to the gates and start to walk around. It's about the middle of the day. While we were walking around we see Glenn and Maggie and decide to go talk to them.

"Hi." Me and Carl say. "Hey guys." Glenn says. We talk for a little while about random things.
We actually talked about how Carl got his hat. I was curious so I asked how he got it. Apparently he was shot on his side by a man named Otis accidentally. His dad was a cop and kept the hat, later giving it to Carl after he got shot. I've grown pretty close to Maggie and Glenn, especially Glenn, since I've been here. It has only been a small amount of time but Glenn is like a brother figure to me already.

"Well, guys, I'm gonna go talk to my dad. I'll see you later." I say. They say that they'll see me at dinner and I leave.

I find my dad and walk up to him. "Hey dad, how ya doing?" I ask. "I'm doing good."He says. "Hey, I was thinking, do you want to go hunting with me?" He says. "I would love to! Thank you so much dad!" I say. "You're welcome. We are going to leave early in the morning tomorrow."He says. "Okay." I say.

You are probably wondering why it's such a big deal. Well the reason why is because when I was little I always wanted to go hunting with him but he said that I was too little and that he didn't want me getting hurt. He always said that when I got older that I could go but that didn't happen until now. Yes I did hunt when the world went to shit but I was alone. This time I'm with my dad and it's special to me.

It was around dinner time now and I went back to the cafeteria. We were having some soup and to be honest I didn't think I would ever be so happy to see a can of soup. While we were eating it was quiet. I'm guessing everyone was just enjoying the peace and quiet. You don't get a lot of that nowadays.

When I was done I said my goodnights and went to bed. I covered myself up in the sheet and I was about to drift off when someone walked into my cell and kissed my forehead. I figured it was my dad but then I heard "Goodnight Roxie. I hope you have sweet dreams." It was Carl. I blushed and went to sleep with that in my mind.
