10. carl

"hey y/n!" you heard the blue eyed boy yell from behind you as you turned around
"hey carl!" you smiled looking at him. you

guys had been dating ever since the prison fell, you got out with Rick and Carl. You remembered that day like it was yesterday, watching hershel die knowing there was nothing you could do. He was like a father to you. Maggie and Beth treated you like a sister. you just had to stand there watching while the governor held michonne's sword to his neck. you knew something bad was going to happen and then suddenly it did. everything went blank as you watched hershel's head fall off of his shoulders, you broke down crying and carl came up behind you and hugged you he also handed you a pistol and whispered in your ear "take him out" you quickly gathered yourself and looked for ways to sneak up behind him in the all out war that had began.

you saw the governor in the field and ran to him, he had Rick on the ground beating him lifeless. you put the pistol to his head and told him to stop or he was dead. he stopped but you shot him straight through the brain.
"woah kid, thank you" rick said trying to stand up, you nodded at him and helped him up then carl came running over, walkers started crowding in the broken fences and Rick said you needed to get out, so that's exactly what you did.

it had been 6 months since then, 6 months since you started dating, 6 months since you lost the only man in the world who seemed like a father. however maggie and glenn take care of you just like you were their daughter, she doesn't let you go out by yourself after dark or even close to dusk. you were grateful for her and everyone else you have. interrupting your thoughts you could feel his bright blue eyes staring at you so you looked him

"what?" you asked
"just thinking about how beautiful you are" he smiled at you
"carl-" you started but were interrupted by him kissing you softly and quickly
"i love you y/n" he smiled
the first time he's ever said it. you froze. you loved carl you really did, but how could he say he loved you when he could lose you any second?
"y/n?" he seemed worried
"what?"
"you don't love me?" he sounded hurt. no this is not what i want, in fact he's the only boy I've ever loved. i just can't say it.
"no i-i do, i-" you fumbled around on your words
"oh shit i-i thought- fuck" he said as he facepalmed then looked back at you
"are you breaking up with me?" he asked
"what! no of course not!" you practically shouted
"if you are-" you cut him off
"no carl im not, i just I- i can't say it knowing i could lose you any second."
"that's the reason you should say it y/n" he said pulling you into a hug
"im sorry" you started to cry and he rubbed your back
"it's okay, im not mad" he laid his head down on yours "even if you don't say it, I still can. i love you y/n and nothing will change that." he whispered into your hair as you smiled into his chest and then you looked up at him, he wiped your tears off your checks and smiled at you.
"take your time saying it" he kissed your forehead and just then his dad yelled for him.
"I'll be back okay?" he said waiting for a response
"okay, i-i love y-you." you managed to say it as he walked out the door he looked back at you and smiled, then you noticed something on the table beside the couch.

a condom. A FREAKING CONDOM?? with a note that said "i might have to help my dad so if your reading this that's definitely what im doing, but i told you I'd be back and I hope this gives you and idea of what's going to happen, happy 6 months y/n i love you more and more each day. -Carl" HE WANTS TO HAVE SEX?? you laughed out loud. he's so cheesy but it's cute, and suddenly it hit you. carl was someone you could actually love, no matter how hard he'd be that person and nothing would change that.
