Chapter18-Together forever

Elana's P.O.V.
Carl got Hershel go talk to me. Hershel said I'm not depressed just overwhelmed. Carl is currently sleeping and I'm in his room sitting in a chair next to the bed. I'm playing with his hair.He looked so cute when he was sleeping. I kiss Carl's temple and Rick walks in. "Hey Elana." Rick says and I smile "Hey Rick." I say quietly and Rick smiles "Your doing okay?" Rick asked and I nod. "Hershel said I'm just overwhelmed with everything that's been happening." I say while still playing with Carl's dark brown hair. "Good well I'm gonna go okay. I'll be back soon." Rick says "Promise?" I ask and Rick nods "Promise." he says then walks out of the room.Carl's eyes flutter open and I smile. "Hi." I say and Carl kisses my lips "Hi." he says and pulls me into the bed next to him. I took my hand away from his hair and Carl frowned "Why'd you stop?" Carl asks and I shrug. "I like when you play with my hair." Carl says and I giggle "Would you like me to still play with your hair?" I ask knowing that he is hinting that and Carl nods "Pwease?" he says and I smile. I start playing with Carl's hair agin. Carl smiles and sighs "Any news on Sophia?" Carl asks. "Sadly no." I say and Carl frowns. "We will find her trust me." Carl says and kisses my shoulder as I twist his hair in my fingers. "Hey get out I need to talk to Carl." Shane says and I go to sit up but Carl pulls me back down. "No! I Told you not to come next to me of Elana!" Carl says and kisses me "I love her so much. Why can't you get that?" Carl asks "You have no clue what love is!" Shane says "And you do?" Carl asks and kisses me agin. "I'm pretty sure he knows what love is by now." Daryl says "Also don't you dare go into the same room as Elana ever agin!" Daryl says and pushes Shane out of the room. "She's not your daughter why are you sticking up for her?" I hear Shane asks. "Because she's the closes thing I might ever have to a daughter and I love her like one!" Daryl says then turns to me"Ella I found Sophia's doll I thought you might want it." Daryl hands it to me. "Thank you Daryl." I say and he nods then walks out. "Hey kids." Rick says and walks in. "How's my little man holding up?" Rick asks "Dad don't call me that!" Carl whines and I smile. "I find its cute." I say and kiss Carls cheek."Hey you got shot just like me." Rick says and Carl nods "Yeah I did." he says with a smile and pulls me closer to him so he can kiss me. I smile as his lips touch mine. He pulls away and presses his forehead against mine. "Hey I don't want yall to let Shane get in the way of your relationship." Rick says and Carl nods. "I'm not gonna listen to him. I love her to much to leave her." Carl says and I smile. "Don't you ever leave her! She is smart. She'll know what to do when you don't. She'll protect you when you can't protect her. She'll stand by you and never leave your side. I know that because I know that's the type of girl Elana is and I know how much she loves you." Rick says and Carl nods "I know. She'll be my strong hero when I can't be her's. She'll be my protector when I can't be her's. She'll be everything I need when I'm at a bad times or even a good times." Carl says and I nod "Of course I will." I say and Carl smiles. Rick places his hat onto Carls head. "Its yours now. You deserve it. Know just make sure your little sheriff doesn't take it away. Sheriffs need there hats." Rick says and pokes my stomach. I giggle "I didn't know I was a little sheriff now." I say as Carl readjusts his new hat. "Yeah my dad was a sheriff so we have this joke that I'm one too and since I'm dating you your my little sheriff know." Carl says and I smile. "Well your the cutes sheriff I have ever seen Mr.Grimes." I say and kiss Carls lips. He smiles as I pull away. I stand up "You get some rest I'm gonna go help your mom with some stuff." I say and Carl sits up. "Carl no." I say and he grabs my hand. "But I don't want you to leave." Carl says and I sigh then kiss his forehead. "You need your rest." I say and Carl starts to cry. "Carl baby what's wrong?" I ask "It hurts." he cries and I look at him "Ether something's wrong with your wound are you didn't tell us it hurt!" I say and Carl frowns "Carl you have to tell us when you start to feel the pain in your wound! It's probably from you walking around you started walking to early!" I say as I run out the room. "Hershel we need Carls pills he didn't tell us his wound hurts and it really hurts him now!" I yell and run back to a crying Carl. Rick was sitting next to him. "He's coming but Carl next time tell us so it doesn't hurt as much!" I yell the last part in frustration. "I-I'm sorry I just didn't want you to worry." Carl says and I pull at my hair "Worry?i could've just gotten you medicine! I wouldn't have been worried but know I am!" I yell and throw my hands up. "Ella I got the pills just go find Beth Maggie they love you they'll talk to you" Patricia says and I storm out of the room and into the living room. I may be acting like a bitch but it's because he should've told us and since he didn't tell us he's getting hurt by his actions and I hate seeing him get hurt!"Dad please let me go talk to her!" I hear Carl plead "No Carl you shouldn't have even been walking yesterday! You need to rest!Plus she's just worried!" I hear Rick say "But she's mad I have to do something you know I can't stand when she's mad at me dad it kills me!" I hear Carl say and I hear foot steps. I feel someone lift me up and throw me over there shoulder. "Rick let me go! I don't want to talk to him I just want to be alone let me go!" I yell at the top of my lungs and try to get out of his grasp. He drops me to the floor and I grunt. I was back in Carls room."There!" Rick says then walks out of Carls.He slams the door and I just stay on the floor covering my face with my hands. "Ella baby are you okay?" Carl asks and I stand up. "Do not call me baby!" I spat and sit in a chair way on the other side of the room from him. "I'm sorry I didn't want you to-" Carl says and I cut him off. "Worry! Carl you we're walking yesterday! That could've been what made your wound hurt and something bad could've happened but you didn't tell us! Thank god it was just that your medicine wore off!" I yell and stand up. "You just don't understand how much your making me fucking worry about you!" I yell "Your not a god damn steal man Carl! Your gonna get hurt and you'll feel it and when that happens you have to tell someone!" I say and sigh. I looked at him, he had a blanket over his head and I could hear him crying. "Carl I'm sorry its just I love you and you can't worry me like this! If something hurts you gotta tell me." I say and sit on his bed. "Ella my heart hurts." Carl says and I lay down besides him. I take the blanket off of his head. "Why?" I ask and he hides his face with his hands "Because I don't think you...." Carl says and stops "I don't think you love me anymore." he says and I frown. "Carl I do it's just you can't get me worried like that!" I say and Carl nods "I'm sorry. I love you so much and no matter what anyone says we'll be together forever right?" Carl asked. Forever sounded like a long time but even though we were only
twelve I thought no matter what people said I still love him. "Together forever." I say and Carl smiles then starts to calm down from his crying. "Know get some sleep." I say an Carl grabs my arm. "D-Don't leave me." Carl says. He looked at little scared. "Baby what's wrong?" I ask and Carl gulps then shakes his head. "Shane.... no it was nothing." Carl says and I kiss his lips then press my forehead aging his. "You can tell me anything Carl and I mean anything." I say softly and he pecks my lips. "He threatened if he saw you alone he would hurt you and he said some of the bad things he would do to you last night while you were sleeping." Carl whispers and I take my forehead away from his. "W-What did he say?" I ask and Carl shakes his head "I don't want to scare you." Carl says and I grab his hand "Please." I say and Carl sighs "He said he would hurt you in so many ways. First he would beat you till you blacked out and when you woke up rape you next would be him hurting you with his pocket knife but not enough to kill you then he would kill you in the slowest most possible way ever." Carl says and I grip his arm. "He wont get you." Carl says and I nod. I lay back down besides Carl and he wraps his arms around me tightly. "He wont get you. I swear to god if he touches you he'll die." Carl says and I nod. I close my eyes and Carl whispers how much he loves me and all those cute things until I fell asleep.
