Chapter 6 ~ Speechless

Alex's POVRick drives up this mountain like thing and Glenn tells him where to park. He parks the truck behind three other cars. Everyone piles out, leaving me and Rick.

"What if I never find them? What if they are already dead?" He struggles getting the last word out. I feel the same way on finding Victoria but I honestly don't know what's going to happen."You will find them...if not today then tomorrow. Don't give up." I reassure him "Thanks." He hugs me and I hug back. This man...is my friend. We pull apart and get out.

We walk up the hill to see people. I look at Rick who has tears rolling down his cheeks, but the happy kind.

"Dad!"

Rick falls to the ground catching the boy with long brown hair in his arms.

Everything at this point is going in slow motion! He found his family! I'm begin to cry, as if that was me and my sister reuniting. I stand there speechless.

Rick runs to his wife and kisses her. They all go into a peaceful hug, the only thing that looks unpleasant is his wife shooting a guy, who is obviously a cop, his 'sheriff' cap tells it all, a death glare.

- - - Night - - -Glenn explained everyone to me except Ricks son i have no idea what his name is. Daryl came, he was pissed at Rick, ordered to go get him tomorrow.

Everyone gets up from the fire, except me and Ricks son. He's staring at me, I notice but I try not to smile. I hide my head as a grin grows upon my face. 

Great Alex!

I look up and see he's smiling too.

His smile is so hot! Did I just say that?

My smile does nothing but grow!

"Carl." He says walking to me  "Alex" we both shake hands and man he has a strong grip! "Nice to finally meet you." He says walking to his tent. "You too." I whisper. He looks back and smiles before walking in.

I walk into mine and lay on my air mattress they gave me. Do I like Carl? Or is it just he's the first boy around my age I've seen in awhile. I don't know, I'm very confused.

"Hey." I sit up and see Carl "Hey, um aren't you supposed to be in your tent?" I actually don't mind him being in here. "My parents are catching up."   "Oh, I see."

We stare at each other. His smile is adorable and his hair is just perfect. I'm a sucker when it comes to long hair and cute smiles on boys.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" His voice is shaky. "Yeah sure." He starts laying his blankets on the ground. "We can share the mattress." He stops and looks at me "You sure."  "Yeah c'mon." 

He picks up his blankets and starts to climb over me, I roll on my back. Now he's on top of me, not on top of me on top of me, but he's hovering over me. We both just stare. I got lost into his blue eyes, beautiful blue eyes. I know he got lost in mine too because we both are quite and just stare.

"Uh um..I'm sorry I-" I begin to apologize but Carl cuts me off "No, its f-fine." He stutters and quickly moves to lay down.

We both drift off to sleep.
