Carl Grimes x Fem reader (Book 1)

Wandering around my house I had a flood of memories with every thing in the house. It wasn't the stuff my family used to have. But it was the stuff that I remember using. Cooking with my mom, watching T.V. shows with my dad, even though there was no T.V. since the actors are all dead but... you get the idea.

But then I saw something that I hadn't seen in so long... a bathroom. There was a silver shower head resting on the wall. Walking over in awe I turned the tap to realize that there was hot water. I sighed and peeled off my blood soaked clothes and turned on the water letting my (Hair length/Hair colour) hair down as the water gently covered my body. Playing with my hair I smiled as I felt the steam rise above me. 

After about 15 minutes of standing in the water I slowly forced myself to get out of the warm water and go see around Alexandria. I grabbed a towel and as I wrapped it around my now freezing body I walked around trying to see if there would be any clothes for me, and to my surprise there actually was. (picture to the side is the outfit.) I pulled the clothes onto my body and was quite satisfied that I was no longer in the clothes with the blood that I wasn't even sure if it was mine or the undead's. After getting the clothes on I found myself thinking about the one thing I hadn't gotten out of my mind since the moment I saw him... I was thinking about Carl, his soft hair, and those blue eyes- and just as I was bout to continue thinking I was interrupted by a knock on my door. I groaned and walked over to the source of the noise and opened it slowly.

"Hi?" I said as almost a question when I saw a girl with blond hair who looked to be in her 30's to 40's.

"Hi, I'm Jessie..." she replied happily.

"Oh, hi, I'm (Y/n)." I replied as I tried to brush my wet (hair type/Hair colour/ Hair length) hair that was tangled in multiple places.

"If you want I used to be a hairdresser, I can help with your hair." She said with a smile. I nodded thankfully welcomed her in as she cut my hair, giving me (dream hair length hair). I smiled in my reflection which has changed since I had last saw in however long ago the apocalypse started.

"Thanks... Jessie right?" I asked as I tried to remember her name

"Ya, and no problem. If you want I have a son maybe a year older than you, if you know Carl hes his age." My heart raced as I heard 'Carl's' name.

"Ya... I met Carl earlier." I said trying to sound normal because if the world was ending. Which I guess it already was but, still I tried to sound normal.

"You don't have to hide it." Jessie said with a smirk.

"Hide what?" I asked in worry.

"You know exactly what, you may fool others like that, but you're forgetting I'm a girl too. And I know when a girl likes a guy." She smirked.

"I don't have a crush on Carl. I just met him today." I said loudly, then muttered, "But he is pretty cute." I muttered the last part thinking she wouldn't her, but apparently she did.

"I knew it." She squealed like a 12 year old girl.

"Just don't tell anyone. Especially not Carl. Or Rick." I said warning with a scarlet face. She put her hands up as if it was surrender and nodded. I smiled as I walk out of the house with Jessie and walked around Alexandria.

"Hey, Daryl right?" I asked as I ran up to the man who got me in here in the first place.

"Yea." he said stiffly.

"I just wanted to say... I just wanted to say thanks for getting me in here... if it you didn't see  that herd you saw would have made me late lunch." I thanked.

"Yer' welcome, uh..." he said trying to get my name.

I sighed before answering, "(y/n)" He nodded. As he walked down the road I stood looking confused.

"What did you do to Daryl?" I heard a unfamiliar voice.

"I didn't do nothin'." I answered harshly as I turned around. I looked ans saw Carl standing next to someone who I was think was his dad.

"He just never says anything like 'You're welcome'... its odd." The man stated. "I'm Rick, Carl's dad." he stated. I nodded before replying.

"I'm (Y/n)... I met Carl earlier today." I replied.

"So you're the new girl Carl wouldn't shut up about earlier." He smirked, but then got a harsh look from Carl.

"Dad... shut up." Carl said through gritted teeth.

"Ya, he was going on about you, saying I needed to see you, and how PRETTY you are." Rick kept explaining, putting emphasis on 'pretty'. I blushed and smiled.

"Dad!" Carl said almost shouting. I blushed as I held a hand to my mouth trying to hold back a laugh. Rick looked to me and Carl and smirked, knowing he had achieved his goal.

"So, (Y/n), you got a group or family?" Rick asked as he tried o start another conversation.

"No, its been me for a while, everyone in my family died in the start of this. I have tried to go to other groups but it always ended with them tying to kill me, or they got themselves killed by walkers." I said sadly.

"I'm sorry... I lost my mom a while back." Carl said with the same amount of sadness.

"I'll leave you two alone now." Rick said with a smirk as he left. I laughed as Carl blushed more.

"So... you planning on staying here?" Carl asked, tying to break the silence.

"Probably not for long..."

"Why not?" Carl asked defensively.

"I'm not good with people... I built my walls up when this started and I can't tear them down now." I sighed.

"Well don't brake them down, just open the door." he paused, "Open the door for me."

I looked over and smiled, and then after smiling at each other I nodded. "Ok." I sighed with a smile.

Ok I know there wasn't much of Carl, but I wanted to make when he was there really cute.
