A/N: I'm glad you guys like this story. Chandler Riggs replied to me again!

NATALIE

My head hurt. My arm hurt. My leg hurt. In fact, it was hard to pinpoint which part of my body did not hurt. I couldn't even open my eyes without feeling like wanting to sleep forever. I could faintly hear voices. Carl, I think.

I opened my eyes and saw Rick sitting across me. I was on the ground. I turned my head and saw train tracks.

"So what are we supposed to do about her?" The lady asked Carl's dad.

"Terminus" Carl replied. I got up straight and let out a little groan as my head shot up with pain and the world seemed to be spinning. Everything was blurry.

"Hey, hey. You're fine. Go easy on yourself" Someone said and I felt an arm slip under mine. I slowly regained my balance and the world seemed to settle down in front of my eyes. I saw that it was Carl who was holding me up. I felt a slight blush on my cheeks because here he was, helping me in everything, when I didn't even know his last name.

"Where are we?" I asked groggily, leaning on Carl for support.

"We're at the train tracks. You should sit down" Rick said and I slowly sat back down.

"Why are we here? What about the shop?" I asked them.

"It was overrun. Too many walkers had come" The lady said.

"How did I pass out?" I asked.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Rick said.

"Uh, I was in a room and a woman was there. She was, she looked sick" I said trying to recall "And then…I don't really remember"

"I found you in there. That woman was a walker. I saved you" Carl said.

"A walker? How can it, how's it even possible?" I asked.

"It is" The lady said "We've rested for too long, we got to get going"

"What's terminus?" I asked. They all stared at me "I heard you mention it before"

"We saw a sign for a sanctuary at Terminus. We're going there, you can get treated there too" Carl said and smiled. I don't know why but for some reason, that single smile provided a lot of warmth to me. I smiled back and Carl looked taken aback.

"Then what are we waiting for?" I said and we picked up all our stuff and started to walk the tracks. Rick asked me if I wanted him to carry him but I said no. It was embarrassing enough to be a burden on them; and also I preferred leaning on Carl.

So he slipped an arm around me and I put an arm around his shoulder and we slowly started walking. I kept glancing at Carl. He seemed like a great guy and I was beginning to understand why he was my best friend.

"What was my favorite movie?" I asked him. He chuckled and said "Well it was actually, one sappy romantic one" He laughed again.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"You were never the kind of girl to like that movie but I don't know why you did" He said.

"Well, maybe I could relate to it. What was it about?" I said, defending my favorite movie, even though I didn't know what it was.

Carl started "It was about a guy and this girl who-" For some reason he stopped and said "I don't really remember. Let's just talk about something else"

"Um, okay" I said "Can I ask you something?" I said. He nodded slowly.

"Was Tom the only boyfriend I had? I mean, have I been with anyone except Tom?" I asked.

"By 'been with' do you mean dated or kissed?" He said.

"Well, whoever I kissed, I would obviously date them right?" I said, confused. I could tell he was uncomfortable with this conversation but I wanted to know why.

"Uh, not really" He said. I wanted to ask more but I didn't. Instead we just kept quiet for the rest of the trip, trailing behind Rick and Michonne while I walked with Carl.

"It's getting dark, let's make camp for the night" Rick said and we nodded. We laid down some clothes on the ground next to the tracks and settled in for bed.

"I'll keep first watch" Michonne said.

"Me too" I piped in.

"What?" Carl asked me.

"I want to help" I retorted.

"You can barely stand" He said.

"I'll be fine, I don't want to be a burden on everyone" I said.

"You're not" Carl said and kept a hand on my shoulder, as if to reassure me.

"Carl, please? I want to keep watch" I said. He finally agreed and then he and Rick went to sleep. I sat with Michonne around a little fire we had made.

"Did Carl ever tell you my favorite movie?" I asked. I was curious as to why Carl had stopped telling me. Michonne glanced at me and said "Yes, I mean I think he was talking about you. Back at the prison, he told me about his best friend, I never knew it was a girl but now it makes much more sense"

"What makes sense?" I asked.

"Well, it's supposed to be a typical romcom, you know? Wait, how do you know what a movie is?"

"Uh, I don't know. I guess I remember all the basic stuff. Just not personal, stuff about me. It's weird; I don't know how amnesia works. I mean I know everything about my mom and dad and everything about the world but I just can't pinpoint stuff you know? Like I knew the names Kate and Jack, I just didn't know they were my parents. I knew the name Carl, it was really familiar but I didn't know him" I explained.

"Guess that makes sense" She said.

"So what's it about?" I asked, bringing the conversation back to that.

"It's about a girl who's in love with her best friend" She said.

"Oh" I said. Is that why Carl had stopped? Because I had said it myself that it was probably my favorite because I could relate to it and then Carl must have thought…

"The Irony" She said.

"What?" I asked her.

"You know, Carl's got a thing for you. You used to like him too. Just before the incident happened, you had kissed Carl, while he was asleep, so he had said to me that he would get back and kiss you so he could tell you how he felt and that it was the sane as you felt about him"

I really didn't know what to say. I knew there was something on between me and Carl but I could never guess this. Carl liked me. I liked him too but I just forgot. That's why he was acting all shifty and weird. God, it must suck for him. He finally found out I felt the same way about him and then the next day I just forget him? It seemed so sinister and inconvenient. Like a plot for a book or something.

"Natalie, you ok?" Michonne asked me.

"I'm fine, do you mind if I go to sleep?" I said. She shook her head and after mumbling an apology, I went to lie down next to Carl. His face was lined up with mine and he was facing me. He looked good while he slept. Way better than when he was awake. Maybe that's why I had kissed him like that.

He looked so much like an angel at that moment and so I shifted closer to him. I felt this sudden urge to hug him but that would have been awkward so I didn't. Instead, I lay awake staring at him for the longest time. His eyes fluttered open and I quickly turned away from him. I closed my eyes and pretended I was asleep. I realized how cold it was out here, probably the reason why I had almost hugged him. I felt Goosebumps on my entire body and I shivered. Then a hand slipped across my waist and pulled me closer. I felt Carl kiss the back of my head and I smiled.
