Aᴘᴏᴄᴀʟʏᴘsᴇ -Carl GrimesXreader

(Y/n)'s POV:

I was packing my bags again.
Rick and the others came back but with a whole herd of walkers,a lot bigger than just a herd.
Rick said that we were going to fight for Alexandria and not run but I still packed most of my things.That was when I realised that I still had the picture of Carl,Rick and Lori in my bag.
I guess we both forgot about it.Ha,strange.I risked my life for a picture I just forget about.I held the picture,staring at it,wondering what things would be like if everyone we had lost were still here.Would things be different at all?Everything would be different if my dad were still here,and not in a good way either.I'm pretty sure he was going insane.A month or so after he died I just kept telling myself that we were better off without him but that couldn't stop me from becoming an emotional wreck,he was still my dad after all.Then my mom,dad told me we couldn't go back for her because it was too late,he wouldn't even try.We had no idea what happened to her.
Losing parents can ruin you in the most horrific ways.Especially when you lose both of them.That makes me an orphan,I guess.

I felt a small tear falling down my cheek.I wiped the tear away and quickly shoved the picture back in my bag.I'll drop it off when I go see Carl later.
I wasn't looking forward to carrying whatever I had left of my life on my back again.I didn't see the point in carrying stuff around,it's more of keeping weapons on you at all times.
...
Walking down the street I saw people rushing around,most of them were silent and had straight faces.I'm not surprised that they all looked miserable with them knowing the fact that they could die tomorrow or even today.
I noticed people painting names on the fences in black paint.I'm guessing of all the people that had passed.It's easier to just not get close to people,you'll only regret it when something happens to them.It didn't really matter anymore.If it happens it happens,what you gonna do about it?You can't do anything about it unless it's curable.

Reading the names as I walked by I noticed one that stood out amongst all of the others.
Samantha
Charlyne
Adrian
Nicholas
Glenn...
That's when I realised that they hadn't came back since yesterday.I tried thinking of all the scenarios I could think of what happened to Glenn and the others.
I'm sure he wouldn't let anything happen to himself,not if it meant hurting Maggie.
I hadn't spoken to Maggie since the party,she was doing fine but with Glenn missing she could be losing her mind.
I didn't believe he was dead,everyone else would've but Maggie,myself and most likely a lot others know that he can handle himself out there.

Carl's POV:

"Hey." I saw Ron sitting on the floor while jabbing a pocket knife in the ground.
He stopped and looked up at me,watching me walk over. "-you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" He scoffed.
He continued stabbing the knife in the floor whilst I stood there.
"Look,I'm sorry." I sighed.
"Why?"
"Well,things have just been weird lately." I said.Ron pulled the knife out of the ground and put it back in his pocket.
"What,because I haven't been talking to you?" He stood up. "-yeah,sorry.I just haven't really been in the mood to talk to any of you." He apologised sarcastically.
"But you've been in the mood to talk to (Y/n),right?" I scoffed at him.He glared at me until he could think of something to say.

"She actually listens to me." He said.
"She listens to anyone! It's what she does.She's a good listener,a good friend." I blurted,throwing my hands around.The way he said it sounded like he thought that he was the only one she treated like that. "If she's such a good friend then why don't you go talk to her instead of me?" He argued.I scoffed and turned away.
"You'd think that you would be a little nicer to someone that's meant to be your friend." I muttered.

Ron obviously heard me since he started shouting back. "What was that? Huh,Carl?" He waited for me to answer.I didn't and continued walking away.He ran up behind me and pulled my shoulder back. "Back off!" I pushed him away.
He came back at me by pushing me.

I hit him back and then it just kept repeating,pushing,shoving,hitting.
He shoved me back and I did the same to him,until I pushed him hard and he fell back.He lay on his back,panting.
I rolled my eyes and turned again to walk off. "I have a feeling you're just jealous.(Y/n) talks to me more because she likes me more,even you know it.You can't hide from the truth." I heard his words getting fainter with every step I took away from him.

The sky was starting to get dark now.
I was sat on the porch with Judith.
She was playing with red cups and sometimes even hitting them off my face and laughing about it.

(Y/n) was leaving the house that her and a few others form our group shared.She locked it behind her and hid the keys under the door mat.She then started walking on the pavement,over to us.
She had her bag on her back,like she was going somewhere.

(Y/n) noticed me and she quickly put a smile on her face and started jogging towards me. "Hey." She grinned.
"Hi,you okay?" I asked her.She nodded and sat down beside me,putting her bag on the floor.

Judith started waving the plastic cups in (Y/n)'s face and giggling even more than before.(Y/n) was playing along with her.
"Can I hold her?" She asked,already reaching for Judith.I nodded and placed Judith in her arms.Judith was pinching (Y/n)'s nose and pulling at her hair,every time (Y/n) reacted to it Judith found it funny as she always did.

(Y/n) held Judith in one arm and picked up her backpack,unzipped it and reached for something.The thing she pulled out was a picture frame.
I instantly knew what it was and a small smile creeped up on my face.She handed me the picture of me,mom and dad.
"It's been in there for ages.Forgot it was there." She smiled softly.
"Thanks." I said.While I was staring at the picture I realised how much Judith was starting to look like mom.It made me happy.
