Chapter 11: Chapter 11- Room mates
Axel's POV-
I woke up with Carl next to me and smiled. He is so cute! I realized it was still dark outside. I mean I'm wide awake now so might as well take a walk. I slowly got up avoiding waking up Carl and slowly walked outside. On my way there I didn't see anyone up yet. I wonder how early it is.
Once I got outside I just walked around the fence for a minute before I heard a familiar voice yell my name. I looked up to see Maggie in the guard tower. Me and Maggie had gotten just as close as me and Glen were. "Come on up!" she yelled in her thick accent. I realized that her accent was much thicker than Beth's and Hershel's. I wonder why.
I ran over to the tower and climbed up the stairs. When I opened the door I was immediately greeted with a hug. "Wow there champ. I can breathe." I managed to squeeze out as she nearly killed me. "So how's Glen?" I asked. The sad look on her face worried me. "He's not doin' so well." she said as a tear fell down her face.
"Hey, it'll be okay. Plus I here that some people are out on a run getting medicine." I said mustering up a smile. It might've been fake but it made Maggie feel better. "Yeah your right." she said with a chuckle. "So how have you been doin'?" she asked. "Well truth be told, I'm a little lost here." I said referring to the incident with Carl the night before last.
"Why?" she asked with a smile. I swear she thrives off of peoples misery! "Carl told me he liked me the night before last." I said with a sigh. "And why aren't you happy?" she asked knowing I had a crush on him. "Because he was wasted. Like shit faced. Plus who knows if he even meant it." I said getting worked up. "I'm sure he did." Maggie said with a laugh. I groaned. See that is exactly what thriving off of misery is!
"Hey what time is it?" I asked. She looked down at her watch. "It's 4:32, speaking of time, why the hell are you awake?" she asked. "I don't know, just woke up and couldn't go back to sleep." I answered simply. "Well I guess you could just chill up here with me." she said. We just talked about random stuff until around 8 when people started waking up. Rick came and reveled Maggie. He also asked me to go help Carl in the garden.
I walked over to see Carl bent over, pulling weeds. Wow what an ass! "Hey Cowboy." I said with a chuckle still looking at his ass. He stood up and turn around as I looked up. "Where were you this morning?" he asked. "I woke up a bit early. Ended up in the guard tower with Maggie. Your dad sent my over here to help you." I said. He nodded and told me what I need to do.
Around a half an hour later I got bored. I thought for a moment before coming up with a amazing plan. "Hey Carl." I said standing up. "Yeah?" he asked following my actions. I quickly scooped up a pill of mud and chucked it at him. "Your dead Dixon!" he yelled as we started a full out mud war. "Boys! Calm the hell down!" Rick yelled trying not to laugh. I gave Carl a wicked glance and he nodded. We both then both picked up another handful and chucked it at him.
He then started throwing mud with us. We continued this until Michonne made us stop. Me and Carl were dying of laughter we almost couldn't take it. After a minute we collected our selves and Rick started to talk. "So as I was saying before you two rudely interrupted me. Y'all will be sharing a room from now on." "Okay." I said and Carl nodded. "Since Tanner moved into Beth's room Carl can just move into your room." Rick said to me.
Carl went inside and moved his stuff to my room. Which I guess is actually our room now. I smiled at the thought. Me and Carl were now in the room and he was putting his stuff away. "I call top bunk." he said. "First of all, it's not like your gonna sleep in your own bed. And second of all you were getting the top anyways." I said with attitude. "Wow sassy much?" he asked. I threw my boot at him. "Owww!" he yelled. I then started laughing.
After a little it was around 3 and me and Carl watch duty. We were sitting up the talking and I saw a truck approach the gates. I noticed who it was and smiled. "The medicine!" me and Carl said at the same time. We both jumped up and ran to the gates where Michonne was already opening it. They ran inside into Cell block D and gave everybody the medicine.
I heard Tyreese talking about a murder that had happened a couple weeks back when this stuff started. I hadn't heard of any murder so I was a bit confused. You know what I guienly think that man is crazy. I walked over to the dinner tables and sat down since it was dinner time now.
I sat down next to Merle and Dad. I wonder where Tanner was. Just then I heard her and looked over to see her sitting with Beth and Mica. I saw Uncle Merles eyes follow mine and saw worried etched in his face. "Hey, it's not you. She's just been through some shit." I said quietly. "Yeah, okay." he said as he looked down to his food.
"So dad do you think we'll ever get to meet mom?" I asked curious on what his thoughts were. "I definitely wouldn't count on it kid." he said. I just nodded not wanting to press the subject. Carl walked over and sat down. We talked about comics and Tv shows we used to watch before the apocalypse. After we were done eating we went to go lay down.
I got to the room and took my shirt off. I looked over to see Carl blushing slightly and looking at me with wide eyes. I threw on another shirt and took my pants off leaving me in my boxers. "You gonna change?" I asked him holding back a smirk. He just kinda stood there for a minute. "Earth to Carl." I said waving my hand in front of his face.
He snapped out of whatever was going on in that brain if his and jumped back. "Uhh- Y-ye-yeah." he said stuttering a lot. We both stood there for a second before he made a shewing gesture. "Well turn around." he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I turned around as a frown gathered on my face. Awww. I was curious. "You can turn around now." he said and I turned around to see him wearing a t-shirt and pajama pants.
I got into my bed leaving room for Carl but he climbed up onto his bed. Let's see how long that will last. I chuckled at that thought. About five minutes later when I was starting to ease into sleep, I felt Carl crawl in bed with me. I was about to say something when I felt him snuggle up against my chest. I didn't want to ruin the moment so I just kept my mouth shut.
I layed there for a couple minutes before wrapping my arm around his waist and falling asleep. This one thing made me think that maybe everything would work out. But boy was I wrong! I had no idea what would come in the next couple weeks. Nor the hardships of the past I would have to endure.
