Beth POV
I was sitting on the windowsill when the boy 'Carl' woke up. I ran to get my dad and his parents and they all came rushing in, my dad to check on him and his parents to hug and kiss him. His mom seems protective of him, she reminds me a lot of my mom. I still miss her a lot, daddy believes that she's still human that has a disease. She's currently in the barn with everyone else, as much as I hate myself for it I still think that there is no cure, that I have lost my mom forever.
He seems to be doing better then what my dad expected, which was good. After everyone else had greeted him back and left him alone with his parents I heard him ask for my name, which made me smile, and I'm not sure why it did. He's only a kid, and I have Jimmy, even though me and Jimmy officially broke up about a week before the outbreak. Anyway he's only twelve, while I'm sixteen, it's not right. I guess it would be nice to get to know him though.
I walked out of my bedroom to go downstairs to see if anything needed to be done. I walked over to my dad and asked what I could do
"You can take Carl's dinner to him bethy"
"Ok" I answered. This is the time I where I can get to know him. Although my dad wants them all gone when he's fully recovered.
I knocked on his door and opened it to see his mom and himself laying, sleeping. I shook him and his mom but only his mom, Lori, woke.
"I have Carl's dinner"
"Thank you sweetie"
"Is he okay"
She looked up at me and smiled
"He's doing really well thank you"
I smiled back and said goodbye before she woke him up. I went outside to see Jimmy talking to Rick and Shane. I walked over and heard that they were discussing about the lost girl, Sophia, so I decided to walk over to Maggie and the Asian boy, Glenn, and heard that they were discussing about there time at the pharmacy, and after what short conversation I heard decided to vastly walk over to another lady, Carol I think her name was, and asked if she needed help with the washing.
"Yes thank you, i need you to dry the clothes on the rack please"
So that's what I spent doing for the next hour or so, and for most of that time i spent it thinking...
About Carl.
It was perplexing though, as he was clearly a young teenager, and I was sixteen. Was this wrong? He just seems so nice and handsome. He's definitely better than Jimmy in both categories.
Maybe him and his group will be allowed to stay, and I'll get to know him better. I certainly hope so.
The end of Chapter 2
