I walked through the prison with my bow of my back and in my right hand I held my arrows. "Where are you going?"  Asked Carl.

"Hunting." I answered back not stopping. "I need to clear my head."

"Need company?" He asked. I stopped walking and turned to face him. "You can't go out alone." He said again. I walked towards him. "I can't let you go alone." He said.

"No, I can handle myself." I snapped walking out of the prison doors. 

I walked through the woods kicking the leaves  as I went along. I stopped and listened I could hear footsteps walking behind me. I hid behind the nearest tree and aimed my bow up in front of me where the sound of footsteps were coming from. My bow was touching my face and I was breathing heavily. A sweat drop dripped from my forehead and landed on my hand which held the bow string backwards. I stepped out from behind the tree and lifted my bow higher and aiming it at whatever was coming. "HEY IT'S ME." shouted the person. I lowered my bow.

"What the hell Carl I could've killed you, you don't sneak up on people like that." I shouted hitting him in the back of the head making his hat fall off.

"Sorry." Carl said rubbing the part of his head I just hit.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked nastily whilst glaring at him. His longing blue eyes started down into mine.   He stepped forward and picked his hat up from the floor and placed it back on top of his brown locks. "I was just looking out for you." He shouted back.

"I told you I can take care of myself Carl you just don't listen do you." I was shouting even louder now.

"Lilly you just keep pushing everyone away." He snapped at me.

"Well then don't take it personally." I said putting my bow back onto my back and my arrows away too.  "Well I do take it personally you just shut people out it's not fair."

"I shut people out, you the one shutting people out just because your Dad killed Shane.....and Just because your.....your mom died." I shouted. Oh I just realised what I had said I felt terrible. "Oh Carl I-I didn't-". I got cut off. Carl had just swung his hand at my face sending me to the floor. I winced at the pain. I felt the blood rushing in my cheek. I held my cheek with my hand. Carl slumped down to the floor with his head in his hands. I crawled over to him. "I'm sorry Carl I didn't mean it." I touched his shoulder. He lifted his head and looked at me. He reached out his hand to touch the cheek he had slapped. I winced at his touch, closing my eyes in pain. A single tear fell down my face and he caught it with his thumb. "I'm sorry too." He said taking his hand from my face.

"No you don't need to say sorry, I was the one who-" I was cut off again this time for a better thing.

Carl POV:

I slapped Lilly across the face what was I thinking I loved her why am I so stupid? But she went too far. I fell to the floor placing my head in my hands. I was beginning to sob. Then I felt a warm touch on my shoulder. "I'm sorry Carl I didn't mean it." I lifted my head and looked into her shimmering hazel, brown eyes. I reached out to her face and stroked where I had hurt her. I felt terrible. Once I touched her face her eyes closed in pain forcing a tear from her closed eyes. I caught her tear with my thumb and wiped it away. "I'm sorry too." I said taking my hand from he face. she started to talk, but I wasn't listening all I was focused on was her beautiful brown eyes, her perfect pale skin and her pink lips. I stopped her from talking by kissing her softly. I wasn't thinking, I just did it. She didn't pull back or stop me so I carried on. Until she pulled away. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to." I said lying to her. I did mean to, I wanted it to happen. "What are you talking about?" she asked me. I was a little confused until she leaned in and was kissing me back. She pulled at the hair sticking out at the back of my neck under my hat gently and I laced my fingers through hers.  She pulled away once again. We both opened our yes slowly. I pushed a strand of her behind her ear. I stood up before her and held out my hand and she took it and I pulled he in my chest. I could feel her heavy breathing against me. She looked up at me and smiled with mischief. "What?" I whispered.

"Your hats on backwards."
