Chapter 14

Carl's P.O.V*

"Its only been two days." I said slamming my hand on the table.

I'm starting to grow impatient. I know anytime now, Negan would be here. Or who knows what can happen. Anything can. He will probably show up when he wants to.

"Are you okay, Carl?" Ali asked.

"Yeah. Just growing a little impatient." I said.

"I can tell." Ali said and I know how badly she wanted to chuckle. But she didn't and I'm glad.

I wouldn't want to be fully frustrated and would have to take it out on her. I don't want to have a fight already with my new girlfriend.

"What should we do?" She asked.

"Cause I don't wanna wait." She then added.

"We can sleep." I suggested.

"But I'm bored, not tired." She looked at me.

"But we can get some alone time." I said standing up and then holding out my hand.

She grabbed my hand and we went to our shared room. Please do remember that we share a room. When she first arrived here, I gave her a mattress and she shared with me.

We had our mattresses combined after we became a couple because we wanted to sleep closer together.

We laid down on our bed and cuddled each other.

"This is as normal as our life would get." Ali said as her head was on my chest.

"You're right about that. I sometimes forget about the world we live in." I said taking a breath.

"I do too." She said.

"We'll make it through this." I said.

"I believe you."

"I like how quiet it is. It's never quiet." Ali said after a while.

"It's usually loud. Unless something is happening." I said.

I felt her nod.

"What if something is happening and we don't know?" She asked me.

"Oh, trust me. We would know." I said.

"But I don't mind the peace and quiet." She said and cuddled more into me.

I am definitely a lucky guy. I love everything about this and how amazing Ali is. It's a great feeling.

We were pretty much having our own alone time together until something went weird. I knew it. I heard some weird stuff outside and then I heard something. It was something inside my house.

What is in my house?

This isn't right.

I'm wondering what is happening.

I wanna know right now.

Ali was sleeping but I have to wake her up for this. I can't have her in danger. I know I always say that but it's the truth. I don't want her getting hurt.

"Ali, wake up." I said lightly shaking her.

"Ali." I said her name again.

"What is it?" Ali asked.

"I think something is happening." I said.

Then she was waking up more. I guess that gave her an alert.

"We have to do something." She said.

"Get your gun." I said seriously.

"What if it's something serious?" She asked.
