accidental encounter

fifteen.

| carl pov |

It's been about a week. I can't get over the
situation. I keep replaying the whole moment in my head.

Her body laying on me cold and covered in red. Her beautiful face drained of all color.

I've started hurting myself.

Burns mostly.

Sometimes cuts.

Whatever gets rid of the pain.

I don't know what else to do. My dad is getting worried about me. I don't eat and I don't cover up the scars.

I disappear most of the the day.

I've tied up this walker and usually sit in front of him. His teeth inches away from my flesh. One day the rope will give and he will kill me.

I'm okay with that. I have no hope anymore.

"Carl!!" I hear my dad yell.

I quickly snap out of it and run towards the cabin. I walk into the field to see my dad covered in blood.

"I need you to make a run to the town and get antibiotics and any medical supplies you can find!" I ran as fast as I could. The
only thing running through my head was who got killed now.

I ran into the town looking around for the pharmacy. I noticed a van parked in the town square. I quickly hid behind a bush and watched to see who was in it.

I loaded my gun and aimed. I was ready for whatever.

Their was a couple people by the sounds of it. I heard them kicking stuff around in the grocery store.

"Come on!" A mans voice yelled, "we don't got much longer!"

I peeked through and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I looked to see Glenn.

I busted through the bush and ran, I see him look up, his face shows utter shock.

"Guys! Hurry!" he yells.

Maggie, Carol, Michonne, Beth, Tyreese, Lizzie & Mikah, Bob & Sasha.

The whole group together again.

Carol ran towards me and engulfed me in a hug. She held my face in her hands while she smiled.

"The rest?" She muttered.

I looked down and sighed, "follow me."

I climbed in the groups van and I showed them where to go. It was weird seeing them again. They looked so different and I felt weird being around them. It was a silent ride because everyone feared the worst.

I didn't want to say anything. I just wanted them to see.

I know it was going to wreck carols heart and Beth was going to be devastated. Carol and Daryl sort of adopted y/n as their own. Always looking out for her and keeping her safe.

Beth was like y/n lost sister. They were so close and after Beth lost her dad, I don't know how she will handle this.

We pulled into the driveway.

I quickly jumped out of the car and was greeted with guns pointed.

"Take it easy! There one of us!" I yelled.

My dad looked as if he had seen a ghost when the group crawled out.

Carol was the last to climb out and daryl ran like hell towards her. They hugged and both cried tears of joy.

Everyone hugged and were shocked to see how much Judith had grown.

Carol was the first to ask, "where's y/n?" She says with a smile.

Rick, daryl, and I fell silent.

"Sissy got hurt real bad. She all gone." Judith yelled out.

Beth dropped to the ground and Maggie clung to her.

Daryl held carol and they all sobbed.

Rick cleared his throat. "Follow me."
