Hey friends. I know it's been a while since I made a new chapter and I'm sorry! I've been pulling extra shifts at work and I'm moving soon but here's a new chapter just for you guys.

It's been a week since Carl was stabbed by Ron. He was walking around now but with a small limp.

Daryl was out on another mission and Carl was trying to be his usual self while he was gone.

Carl was now getting dirty looks from Ron's mother and he didn't see his little brother anymore either. But that was expected. She didn't know what happened to Ron and she never would know.

Carl wanted desperately to go outside of the wall like he use to do, he felt trapped in this place. He needed to feel alive but he knew it was a bad idea.

He always noticed Enid leaving and coming back. She didn't know how to be part of a community again and he understood that.

As Carl was walking around the village he heard the sound of a car pulling up to the gate. He didn't hear the usual motorcycle sounds that went with it and he began to panic. He raced as fast as he could to the gate but the car was already at the medic house.

His heart started beating a mile a minute, what happened? He couldn't stand it and then a voice rang out to him. A familiar voice.

"Hey, Carl. Why d'ya look all flustered?" Daryl said, standing behind him.

Carl spun around and stared at Daryl in a confused manner, then he looked back at the medic house before looking at Daryl again, "Where is your motorcycle? And why is Aaron's car at Denise's house?"

Daryl looked down at his boots and scratched the back of his head, "We just got scratched up a bit and I crashed my bike. I'll be goin' back for it in a few days."

Carl took a deep breath and sighed, looking rather relieved. He then ran up to Daryl and wrapped his arms around his neck and leaned up to kiss his cheek.

Daryl was taken off guard and was quite stunned at the gesture. He got red in the face and looked around frantically, hoping no one was looking, especially Rick and he pulled Carl off of him.

"Hey, I missed ya too alright? Why don't you come over tonight." Daryl said in a kind of hushed tone.

Carl blushed and nodded and before he could say anything else, Daryl started walking off towards his house. Carl understood that he probably needed some rest before he came over. He was so excited that he ran home and forgot his leg was still hurt.

When he got home, Rick was in the living room reading a book. Carl closed the door behind him and smiled at his dad, "Hey dad, can I spend the night at Daryl's house tonight?"

Rick looked up from his book, "Sure, Carl. Is he back already? That was a short trip."

He saw his dad get up and walk out the door without saying a word but he knew why. His dad always talked to Daryl and Aaron after their trips, he was like the rest of the group. They all feel cooped up in a place like this.

Later that night, Carl lost track of time while reading some comic books that when he looked out the window it was already dark. He jumped up and ran down stairs and out the door. He started jogging over to Daryl's house and right as he was about to reach the front yard of his house there was a sound coming from the backyard.

Carl started walking slowly to the back and peaked around the corner. He saw Daryl standing there with Aaron. They were talking but he couldn't hear what they were saying but it looked like a serious talk.

Then suddenly Aaron reached for Daryl and leaned in to kiss him. Carl's eyes got wide and he felt his heart sink to the deepest part of his being. He couldn't believe was was happening right in front of him.

Before he could see anything else he turned and ran back home, trying to wrap this around his mind.

Daryl pushed Aaron off of him and glared at him, "You have a partner and now so do I. I don't need to tell you who it is so just back the fuck off."

Aaron looked hurt, biting his lip and then storming off to his house.

Daryl knew he had heard someone on the side of the house before and he went to look but found no one there. He looked down to track the footsteps but they ended on the pavement and it was impossible to track in this light.

He was wondering where Carl was but just assumed he fell asleep. He went inside and went to bed himself, not knowing the trouble brewing in Carl's mind.
