Carl Grimes x Reader Insert

Chapter 13

It's thanks to Carol that you guys got out, she helped you guys out so much and you missed her, Rick and Carl never left Judith's side and as for you, you heard word from your dad, the walkie talkie you've always been keeping in your bag picked up his signal and he was radioing from a town not far from the church you're staying in, you sat down on one of the many benches, thinking how you can tell the group, getting up you walked over to Rick "hey Rick, can I talk to you?" "Sure, what's it about?" You pulled the walkie talkie out your bag "I heard my dad.. He's in the next town over and I need to see him" "are you sure?" "Yes" "take a few things, we have a talkie so keep checking in" "okay, thanks Rick" "good luck" you smiled and picked up you thinks and took 3 cans and some ammo and went outside, walking around while fiddling with the frequency on the radio to try and find the station your dad was speaking on, after 5 minutes of static a voice beamed on the radio "This is David (L/N), I am with 5 other survivors in the police station in (random city), any survivors are welcome, threats will be dealt with" you closed the walkie and placed it in your bag and getting your torch out, flicking it on and shining it on the path and heading that way, it was best to leave without a word, walking along the path and shining the torch around, this would've been better with someone to talk to or at least some music to jam out too..

You've been on the road for at least 3 days now, it's dark out so you were hiding in a cleared out house, getting the walkie talkie out and going onto the radio channel Rick usually was on you took a deep breath then exhaled "is anyone there? it's (F/N).." you try radioing in last night but no one picked up, tomorrow you're going to keep it on in case they try radioing during the day, standing it up on the floor you laid your head on your bag and closed your eyes, smiling that you've almost found your dad, your only known family member who survived..

After resting for a while you heard a static voice coming from the radio, sitting up and grabbing the walkie, looking out the window you pushed the talk button down "this is (F/N), over" "(F/N)! Where are you?" It was Carl and he sounds worried "I'm looking for my dad, I asked Rick and he let me leave" you stood up and placed your bag on your back and walked around the room "why didn't you tell the rest of us? We were worried" "it was best for me to leave without a word.. I thought Rick would've mentioned it" "he didn't, (F/N) you really scared me.." "I'm sorry Carl, I'll be back soon.. I promise" "okay, I'll be in when the sun is setting" "okay, I'll talk to you then" "bye (F/N)" "Later Carl.." You turned the walkie off and placed it in your pocket with a heavy breath, peaking out the window you realised it was pretty clear, opening the door and walking downstairs quietly you went to the kitchen to look for any food, 2 cans of beans "let's not let that go to waste" you mumbled as you took your bag off and placed it on the counter, taking a can and pushing the pin down to take the lid off, eat then continue to your adventure, placing the other can in your bag then doing your bag up again, making sure it was secure you placed it on your back and left the house via back door, eating from the can while following the road to the next town, where your dad is, stopping in your tracks you saw a crowd of walkers blocking the way, you walked to other road seeing that it heads the same way, questioning what they were crowding around there for didn't last long, you caught a glimpse of at least 2 fresh corpses, throwing the empty can away, if only you left earlier you could've helped them...
