AN: I haven't updated in nearly a year but I had this chapter in drafts and I finished it, I might carry on but it will be slow
two months later
I was at Carl's place, Rick had left with Daryl so it was just me him and Michonne, Michonne was getting ready and Carl and I were in the living room, I untied Carl's bandage, "Ow" He winched, "Sorry" I exclaimed and continued to work on untying the bandage. I knew Carl was prone to being a little dramatic regarding pain, so I didn't take his reaction too seriously. Once the bandage was removed, I placed it aside and examined Carl's face
Seeing Carl's uncovered injury reminded me of Ron, I felt a pit in my stomach as I remembered the memories I had shared with Ron. For a moment, I was lost in thought, reliving the moments I had spent with Ron. But then I quickly snapped out of it and refocused my attention on Carl
"You okay?" with a hint of concern in his voice. "Yeah, I'm fine," I replied, "just a little lost in thought for a moment" I paused, then continued, "Seeing your wound just reminded me of him" Carl nodded, "I'm sorry for what he did to you" I told him
"Don't say sorry, it's not your fault" Carl reassured me, I felt like in a way it was, maybe if I didn't break up with him earlier that day he wouldn't have pointed the gun at Rick, maybe he wouldn't have shot Carl
"You couldn't have known" Carl reassured me, "Yeah I guess, I'm just glad you're okay" I told him before I begin to start putting his new bandage on
Max's POV:
As I was wandering around Alexandria, I saw a girl sitting on a bench in the distance. I couldn't help but notice her striking features. Her hair was brown her hair flowing down her back like a magnificent waterfall. Her eyes were simply dazzling, sparkling like diamonds, As I got closer, I realized that it was Enid, I was introduced to her before but we never really talked.
I took a deep breath and walked up to her, trying to look as confident as possible. "Hey, Enid, right?" I asked. She looked up at me, and I could feel my heart racing. "Yeah, sorry what's your name again?" she said, looking a bit confused
"Max, I'm Nyla's brother," I chuckled. She nodded slowly and smiled, and I could tell that she was still a bit unsure. I felt a little stupid coming up to her. I don't know why I was attracted to her and why my brain told me to come over here. I mean, I was dating Rio, and things were going pretty well between us I guess
But there was something about Enid that drew me to her. Maybe it was the way her hair fell in soft waves around her face, or the way her eyes sparkled when she smiled. Whatever it was, I couldn't deny that I was interested in her
"You can sit down," she said, moving her legs from the seat and putting her notebook down. I sat down next to her, feeling a little nervous
She shifted slightly, and her leg touched mine. I could feel the warmth of her body next to mine, it was both exhilarating and terrifying
