I need you here with me // Carl Grimes [EDITING]

Twenty Five - Picking Up The Pieces.

*3months later*

I lost my baby 3months ago and we took in the Woodbury people only a few of the governors most loyal men stayed behind, it became me and Sophie's job to make sure all the children at the prison were safe.

Beth met a guy called Zach,but he got killed on a run...I could tell she missed him a lot...

'Lydia, Mika wants you...she won't stop crying.' Connor ran in the room

'okay...' I said quickly, I ran to Mika in her and her sisters cell where she sat crying...

'Mika what's up honey?' I asked

'we were naming walkers at the fence and-and c-carl shouted at us...' she cried into my shoulder

'why were you naming them?' I asked

'one of them had a name tag, so we thought they all deserved names...we just wanted things to seem more normal... so we wouldn't be afraid of them as much...' she hiccuped

'I'll go talk to him...' I tried to stay calm as the anger boiled inside of me.

'hey Carl!' I shouted as he walked down the corridor

'hey honey.' he smiled and attempted to hug me

'your such a dick!' I shoved him back

'what did I do?' he asked confused

' you shouted at Mika and made her cry! she's only ten for crying out loud!'

'it's not my fault that they were dumb enough to name walkers down at the fence...' he muttered and before I could control what I was doing...I slapped him across the face leaving a bright red hand mark

'don't you dare...go near her again.' I spat and walked away

what had I done?

*at lunch*

'guys...he hasn't spoke to me all day...' I whispered and looked over to Carl who was sat at a lunch table on his own

'what did you do?' beth whispered

'I slapped him...'

'why?' sophie whispered

'he made Mika cry, because she was naming walkers with her friends to make things seem more normal, so she wouldn't scared of them as much...' I whispered

'ummm...guys...why are we whispering?' Patrick asked

sophie burst out laughing... I was absolutely sure she had a crush on him

'I'm gonna go speak to him...' Patrick said and got up, he walked over to Carl and they left the cafeteria.
