Chapter 19
Some are weak some are strong part 2
Carl is holding Crying Judith.
"Sh sh sh" Carl try's to put her back to sleep.
"Hand her here" David says.
David's gotten a lot better with Judith.
Carl hands over Judith.
"There there," David calms Judith.
She quits crying right away.
"I guess she really doesn't need me anymore." Carl said.
"Don't say that Carl. She loves you"
Carl is silent.
"Carl I'm sorry"
"It's not your fault she likes you more"
"She doesn't like me more, and that's not what I meant. I mean I'm sorry for what we did."
"I shouldn't of even come here."
"I knew better, I'm sorry"
"I have to go talk to Sarah." Carl said.
"If you want I can go talk to her." David suggested.
"No that'll probably make things worse"
"Yeah you're probably right" David agrees.
Carl starts to leave.
"Have you seen Jarrod?" David asks.
"Yeah, he's not doing so well. I better go talk to him too." Carl said.
"That'd be nice of you. Are we going to have a funeral for Hershel?" David asked.
"No, Hershel always said he didn't want one, and Jarrod and Maggie already said no."
"Okay well, we know he'll be missed."
"Yes. Definitely." Carl says while he heads out of Cell Block A.
Meanwhile, Daryl had talked to Carol.
"Carol? Babe you doing alright?" Daryl asked a gazing Carol.
"Come on, lets get you inside, it's getting dark out." Daryl suggest while going to pick her up and carry her.
"No! Stop it Ed!" A frightened Carol says.
"Carol? It's me. Daryl... Ed's gone"
"I know that"
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes. I need some time alone."
"Okay, well hurry in please." Daryl says while giving her a kiss in the cheek.
Daryl slowly walks back to the prison, Daryl passes Carl on his way.
"How's she doing?" Carl asks.
"She said she just wants to be alone." Daryl answered.
"Well, can you blame her? It has been pretty rough."
"You think I don't that? I lost my brother!"
"No that's not what I was saying! I just mean- I'm sorry."
"No Carl I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you." Daryl apologized.
"I think we all just need rest. I don't think I have had more then 20 hours of sleep in the last week."
"Well maybe soon we can get max up in those towers to help. He's getting pretty good." Daryl said
"Yeah same with Harry. They could be real assets."Carl added.
"You talk to Jarrod?" Carl asked.
"No, I've been busy with Carol. Didn't even think about talking to the kid."
"It's alright that's where I'm headed."
"Alright I'm gonna go ahead and get a n or 2 of sleep."
"Alright night"Carl said.
"Night"Daryl replied.
Carl heads over to Jarrod, who is sitting over his fathers grave.
"Jarrod?"
This time Jarrod acknowledges Carl's presence by slightly looking over his shoulder towards him with a scowl.
"Jarrod, you alright?"
"We'll my dad is Dead, so No."
"Jarrod your dad was a good man."
"Oh please save it! You only mean he was a good asset! That's all that every one seen in him!" Jarrod yelled.
"That's not true! He was a good man! Now I know i've only known him since after the walkers but he was a great friend! Family. And it will get easier i promise."
"Carl you think you know how it feels to lose a dad, but you don't. My dad was a real dad. Not some small time sherif with family problems."
"What the fuck did you just say?"
"Yeah! I lost a real dad!"
Carl grips his pistol.
"Oh go ahead Carl shoot me."
"Ahhhh!" Carl screams while lunging towards Jarrod knocking him over.
Carl starts punching Jarrod in the face over and over.
Jarrod turns the fight around and hits Carl a few times.
"Carl!" Sarah screamed.
"Get off of him!" She screamed at Jarrod. "Help!" She screamed.
Daryl hears her screams from inside.
Daryl and Max comes running.
"Stay here!" Daryl told Max.
Jarrod punches Carl a couple more times before Carl gets back in control and is on top of Jarrod.
Daryl gets there and pulls Carl off.
"What the hell Carl?" Daryl asks.
Jarrod stands up and hits Carl while Daryl is holding him.
Daryl steps in and hits Jarrod once knocking him down.
"It's fine!" Carl says.
"What the hell is going on?" Sarah asked.
"Carl thinks my dad was only as good Rick."
At this point Daryl is holding Jarrod back.
"You need to calm down so I can let go."
Jarrod settles down. So Daryl lets go.
Jarrod sits on the ground and starts Crying.
"Go get Maggie." Carl tells Sarah.
"Okay" Sarah says.
Harry walks over. "What happened?"
"Nothing everything is fine." Carl answered.
"Alright.. Well who is Sophia?" Harry asked.
"What?!" Daryl asks angrily while getting closer to him.
"I-I don't kn-I don't know! That Carol chick was walking towards the gate. So I asked her where she was going and she said to see Sophia I'm sorry!"
"Daryl looks at Carl and they both take off for the gate.
"CAROL!" They both scream.
The get in viewing distance of the gate and just see Carol opening it.
"Carol stop!" Daryl yelled.
Carol puts steps out, and says quietly to her self "I'm coming Sophia.". Just after, two walkers grab Her and starts to rip her apart.
"No!" Daryl yells while collapsing to the ground.
Carl keeps running to close the gate. Because he knows he cannot ignore it.
