Carl POV

Come on Carl you got this. This was my first time attempting to walk since the incident, and walking seemed a lot harder than Carl remembered it to be. First he stumbled and fell over, and got back up with the help of his dad.

It was about three hours later and it still felt weird to him. He was walking around the fence at the back of the field when he fell again.

"Shit, when will this stop happening"

"Need some help"

He turned around and saw the person he least wanted to see, while he was on his ass from falling over. Beth Greene was looking down at him with her arm outstretched. He took her hand and she helped pull him up into two feet.

"Th-thanks" Carl said embarrassed, he could feel his cheeks going red.

She looked at him, and smiled.

"You know you don't have to get embarrassed around me, you just got back on feet. This is completely normal for people who haven't walked for a while."

I knew she was right, but still couldn't not help but be embarrassed.

"Thank you, I just... I just don't want to be the weak one in the group, you get what I'm saying don't you?"

She looked at with the same smile, and said...

"You don't strike me for a weak person, I'm a weak person, I can barley lift anything. Anyway you took a gunshot to the side at twelve years old. I'm pretty sure if I took a gunshot at the age of twelve, I would've died from it!"

The minute she said she would've died made Carl's stomach knot around itself, it was a completely new feeling and didn't know what it meant, if it was good or bad.

"You don't strike me as a weak person either. You've survived for longer than most of the world, and you don't just need to be strong to survive. You can be helpful, caring, medically trained and most importantly, smart."

"So you think I'm all of those things?"

"Yeah, you helped to keep me alive!"

"That was mostly Daddy and Patricia that helped you, I don't do much except bring medical supplies or food for you"

"See you did help keep me alive then!"

She looked into his eyes then smiled, and this smile felt different to the others, more... genuine, and that made Carl smile.

"CARL"

Carl nearly jumped out of his skin, and fell over again, and again in front of Beth dammit.

He tuned around to see Shane calling him over.

He got back up with the help of Beth and told her...

"I'd better see what he wants"

She smiled, but this smile seemed to be less genuine than the one before.

"That's okay, I'll see you later"

"Bye Beth"

"Bye Carl"

As she walked off in the direction of the house, I walked over in the direction of our little camp.

Well there was two things Carl had learnt today, and those were that Beth was truly beautiful and kind and lovely to talk to, and that he had a crush on her.

Quite a big crush on her. But at the end of the day it didn't matter, she was much older and she was way out of his league. She also had Jimmy, which I'm going to guess is her boyfriend. But who knows, maybe I have a small chance?

The End Of Chapter 3

So how was it, good, bad, ok???

Let me know in the review section.

Just to ask for your opinions, I was thinking of instead of Sophia being found dead in the barn. I would keep her alive and change the story, as I'm going to be doing this with other things throughout the story. I'm still going to stick to the main story of everything that has happened so far, but I'm going to change details about it.

So let me know wether to keep Sophia dead or to bring her back.

Until next time Goodbye
