"Ron? What the hell are you doing?" I asked him. Ron froze slowly turning towards me before shrugging "I just want to go see where my dad is buried," my face softened immidiatly. True his dad was a complete asshole but he was still his dad. I put my hand on his shoulder "I'll go with you it's not safe to be out there by yourself," Ron looked like he was about to protest but instead nodded following me out. We remained in an awkward silence until I finally broke it. "Hey...I'm sorry about your dad." Ron tensed at the mention of his dad "it's not your fault you weren't the one who shot him," he replied bitterly. I sighed knowing he was probably furious with Rick.
"You know I've been in your position I actually lost my brother a couple of years back," I revealed. "Yeah but did Rick shoot him in the face?" He snapped. I raised my brow at him "actually yes." Ron blinked st me suprised "how can you stand to be in his presence after him doing something like that? Let alone date his son?" I frowned thinking back to the incident before replying "because I knew it had to be done," my eyes narrowed "and what does Carl have to do with it?" Ron remained silent and looked like he was about to say something when his eyes widened in horror. I turned around and saw walkers approaching us. I covered Rons mouth before he could scream "Ron go find Rick and Morgan NOW!" I told him shoving him away before pulling out a knife. Once Ron was gone I covered his retreat killing any walker that got close before following after him. I almost groaned when I heard Ron yell and scream for help before running after him. I almost sighed Jon relief when I spotted Rick but that look changed to a look of horror "holy shit..."
I was a little upset when they sent some of our best fighters (including dad) off to deal with the massive herd. I mean don't get me wrong the plan Rick came up with was brilliant but what happened if we got attacked? Or some of the herd broke off and came here? We'd be completly screwed. I was sitting on a grass area with Sophia. It was really quiet today but I couldn't help but have a bad feeling or am I just being paranoid? "Adrian?" Sophia called causing me to jump "huh?" Sophia laughed "are you even listening to me?" "Not really," I said sheepishly. Sophia sighed "I was telling you about the new doctor remember?" I titled my head "why what's up with her?" "She's hopeless! I could do so much better if only they let me-" "Sophia," I gently cut her off "I know your probably furious but don't worry I bet when the time comes in a real emergency you can prove just how talented you are," Sophia took a deep breath and smiled at me "thanks Adrian," I grinned at her "no problem." We sat back as the wind blew our hair "you know it feels like our roles have revearsed," Sophis said suddenly "not really it was more of a circle. I gave you advice on how to survive, you gave me advice on how to communicate with the male species etc." Sophia laughed again "is that what we call them now?" I gave her a false look of confusion "didn't you get the memo? " "no I had not idea post still worked."
"Uh excuse me?" Ron said causing us to turn to face him "can I talk to Adrian really quickly?" Sophia gave me a curious look while I meaty shrugged "uh I guess so?" Sophia got up and walked off probably to find her mother while Ron took her place sitting a little too close for my liking. I shuffled away from him a bit before speaking "what did you need me for?" He scratched the back of his head "uh I firstly just wanted to apologize for how I behaved earlier," I raised my grow at him and he continued "You were just trying to be nice and I shouldn't have been so insensitive." I shrugged "don't worry about it besides I've had worse said to me." Ron stared intently at me making me feel slightly uncomfortable. Suddenly Ron grabbed my face and kissed me.. My eyes widened before I pushed Ron off me. "What the hell was that for!? I have a boyfriend!" I yelled backing away from him before sprinting off. I needed to find Carl. I ran into his house and sprinted up to Judith's room knowing that's where he would be. Carl looked up as I barged into the room "Hey Adrian," he said before his eyes widened "hey what's wrong," he said gently cupping my face
"It's Ron-" "what did he do this time?" He groaned. I bit my lip "he uh he-" "he what?" He said curiously "he kissed me." Carl froze face shocked until it became one of annoyance "he did what!" He whisper yelled not wanting to wake Judith. "He kissed me." Carl angrily rubbed his face before looking at me "did you kiss him back?" "No!" Carl took deep breaths obviously trying to control his anger "are you okay?" He said softly wrapping me in his arms. I rested my head on his chest "yeah I ran here as soon as it happened," "good," he said kissing my head "Because I want to take care of my girl," "your girl?" I said pulling away with my eye brows raised "who said I was your girl?" "I did," he replied grinning "just then actually." He leaned in to kiss me when we were interrupted by the sound of screaming. We ran to the window and looked on in horror as people slaughtered the Alexandrians.
We grabbed our weapons and raced downstairs to protect them when Carol stopped us "stay here and guard Judith," she said before racing out. Carl turned to me "Adrian grab Judith and make sure all exits upstairs are locked," he said kissing my head. I nodded and raced upstairs smiling at Judith before scooping her up in my arms. I walked to the window and locked it so no one could open it and blocked th door from the outside with a book shelf to be safe. I did that with all rooms just to be safe when I heard Carl shooting at something I ran downstairs putting Judith in a crib and saw Enid walk back in. When did she get here? She placed a note on the table not seeing me and climbed out the window. Not feeling comfortable with her going out there alone I wrote on the back of her note saying that I went after Judith and would be back soon before racing after her.
A man with a w on his forehead tried to stab me when I exited but I kicked him in the back of the leg before stabbing him in the head. I looked over and saw Enid climbing over the fence and quickly followed her determined to stop her. When I finally caught up to her she turned to face me with a glare "you shouldn't have followed me," "well you shouldn't have gone off alone," I said crossing my arms "what are you doing Enid? It's dangerous out here!" "Like it's much safer there!" Enid snapped. I went to move towards her but she pulled a gun out making me freeze. "I know you've been shot before Adrian, so unless you want to repeat that I suggest you leave me alone." I raised my arms showing I meant no harm "If this is what you really want Enid then I won't stop you okay? So please put the gun down." Enid narrowed her eyes at me "turn around and face that tree," she ordered. I did what she said holding my arms on the tree. "I'm sorry," was the last thing I heard before Endi knocked me out with the back of her gun.
Carl pov
I was incredibly worried. Not only were we attacked but half the herd broke off and were knocking at our doorstep. I thought it couldn't get any worse until I realized Adrian was out there with them. I wanted to blame Enid, to hate her for being the reason my girlfriend was in danger but I knew that Adrian wouldn't want me too. So instead I decided I was going out there to get them but I was going to need help. I didn't want to have to ask Ron of all people to help me, especially after the little stunt he pulled, but I knew he would be the only one most likely to agree. "Ron I need your help," I said grudgingly. "Why should I do that?" He snapped causing me to sigh "Look Enid and Adrian are out there there your friends-" "Enid's my girlfriend or at least she was right?" He said sarcastically. "Well Adrian's my girlfriend," I snapped "and I want to go out there and help her but I need your help-" "how do you know she's not dead?" He asked "how do you know if the both of them are dead or not?"
"they aren't dead Enid's been out before," Ron sighed angrily "I told her not to go outside the walls I told her there were bad people out there, I told her it was stupid," "It's only dangerous if you don't know what your doing and beside Adrian's with her," I said. Ron was really starting to get on my nerves. "Then she's stupid too." That's when I snapped. I grabbed Ron by the front of his shirt and shoved him against a wall "Adrian's not stupid! She's a whole lot smarter then you!" "Oh really? Then why is she out there right now most likely getting devoured by walkers. I tightened my grip on him tempted to punch him "if she's so stupid then why did you kids her?" Ron snorted "isn't it obvious? I wanted you to know what it felt like to have the girl you like stolen from you." I released him and glared at him "well then you failed because I love Adrian and she loves me I know that." Ron dusted himself off as I turned to go look for them. "If you go out there your dad will send more people out and then they'll die too." I froze and grudgingly admitted that he was right. Without looking back at him I stormed to my house to find Judith. I just hoped that Adrian was safe.
