I wake up with cold sweat on my forehead and back. It was all just a dream, thankfully. I couldn't afford to loose Carl like that, I'd be broken. As soon as I take a minute to breathe and just calm down I get up and go to dads room. When I peek in the door I start to worry a little bit because he isn't in there. After that I check Rick and Michonnes room but find them gone as well. After that I make my way downstairs to see Carl standing at the kitchen counter feeding Judith. After a second he sees me so I make my way over to him. "Good morning." I say while giving him a quick kiss on his cheek. "Morning to you to." He says smiling. "Um, where did everyone go?" I finally ask. "Oh, they went out on a run." I sigh of relief. "Oh, ok. When are they gonna be back?" Carl shrugs. "I don't know. My dad said they'd be a couple hours at least." I just nod while Carl hands me a bowl of dry cereal. "Thanks." I say while I grab a spoon then sit down. "So. What do you want to do while they're gone?" Carl asks with a smirk. "Well, we should probably stay here just in case something goes wrong. Also so we can stay with Judith." "Ya, you're right." After a couple minutes of silent thinking Carl smirks again. "Can you go up to your room for a while?" "Why?" "It's because I have some things I need to take care of and you can't see." I give him a look and he sighs. "Ok fine, it's a surprise." I sigh sarcastically. "Ugh fine! But this surprise better be good!" He chuckles a little bit. "Oh trust me, it will be!"

After reading 107 pages of a book, Carl finally comes and knocks on my door. I open it to find him standing there with a blindfold. "No. Not a chance." I say jokingly. "C'mon, please?" He hands me the blindfold and then I sigh before putting it on. "Can I even trust you?" "For sure you can!" I chuckle. "Just by you saying that I know I can't trust you!" I say while I finish tying it. "Just take my hand and do what I say." "Eye eye captain." I say doing a mini salute. He just laughs a little and starts leading me down the stairs. Once we stop I can tell we are out on the back porch. "You ready?" He says untying the blindfold but still covering my eyes with it. "As ready as I'll ever be." "Ok. In 3, 2, 1!" When he removes his hand from covering my eyes my jaw drops in shock. "Welcome to our first date." Carl has decorated the back porch with a whole bunch of white and blue lights attached to the mesh screen, along with a couple of blankets on the grass. "Do you like it?" He asks nervously. I turn around and smile at him. "How could I not?" After that he smiles and then he grabs an old iPod Shuffle or some sort of music player. "Do you like dancing by any chance?" I chuckle a little bit. "If it's with you then I don't mind it." He smiles as he presses play. The song 'Dancing In The Dark' comes on and he takes my hand before pulling me close to him. "Addison, ever since I've met you I've been in love with you." I feel my cheeks getting warmer by the second. "I feel the same way." After that I start thinking until I start to wonder something. "Carl." "Ya." "Where's Judith?" "Oh, she's sleeping in her highchair right by the screen door." "Oh ok." After that he twirls me around and then the music finishes. "Where did you get that? Actually, hlw did you get it to work?" "I just found it and it was working then." I just nod as he leads me tl the blanket and we lay down. "We were supposed to do this later when the stars are it but we can do it now." "We can do it now and later?" I say looking at his piercing blue eyes. "Ok." After that Carl grabs my hand and locks my fingers in between his.

As Carl and I are sitting on the couch talking and laughing, while keeping an eye on Judith, we hear a knock on the door. "Race you to the door!" I say as we both get up. When we get to the door he touches it about a second before I do. "I win." He says. "Ya ya, whatever!" When he opens the door he immediately closes it and tells me to hide. "What, why? Who is it?" I whisper as we grab Judith and go upstairs while someone starts banging the door down. "It wasn't dad and them." I sigh. "Who was it then?" I say putting Judith on my back in a baby carrier. He takes a deep breath and then pauses. "It was Negan." My heart stops. "I didnt want to tell you because I kne-" "No, it's fine. It makes me want to kill him even more." With that we climb out the window and make our way to the town, where we hopefully can find dad, Rick and Michonne before anyone else does.
