The Death Of A Friend

Should I do a punk Chandler imagine?

Imagine:

I sat on the branch of a tree with my best friend, Carl. My legs swung back and forth. My fingers were laced with his. We were just sitting, enjoying the scenery of the farm we had recently found.

Carl and I were both 12 years old. I stumbled upon Rick when he was looking for a girl Sophia. Due to my young age and no one else with me, he brought me back to Hershel's farm. The first person I met here was Hershel. Then I met his daughters. I soon met Carl. Our closeness in age is what drew us together. We had a little crush on each other but I was too young for love in this shit world. So, we are best friends... For now.

The sun began to set on the crest of a hilltop. The grass held droplets of water. The leaves on the trees were blood red. The clouds were a perfect shade of baby pink and violet. The clouds were a puffy white as the yellow sun lit them up.

"So, even though you never met her, do you think we will find Sophia?"Carl asked with hopeful eyes. I ran my thumb over his and nodded "I do. I think she's out there". "Hey guys, come on. It's dinner time" Dale yelled from the RV. "Alright. Be there in a minute." I yelled back to him. "C'mon (Y/N)" Carl yelled already half way down the tree. "I'm coming, I'm coming" I laughed, following him.

We entered the Greene household and sat down at the table. I was served a plate full of delicious vegetables. "Thanks Mags" I said with a grin. We all ate our food, enjoying a good meal for once. Honestly, I haven't been this happy in a long time. Good friends, good food and safety. Gods been looking out for me.

After dinner Lori said that Carl and I could go play outside before it got dark. That was a mistake...

I pointed out someone that was heading towards the farm. They seemed injured so Carl and I went to assist said person. As Carl ran ahead of me when I realized that it was no longer a human. "CARL. NO!" I shouted trying to warn him. I screamed for Dale. Everyone came running but it was too late. Carl shrieked in pain as the walker bit into the flesh on his neck. "DALE. DO SOMETHING!" I cried out. I wish I had a gun right now.

The clouds turned gray as night entered Earth. It began to let a drizzle of rain fall from the sky.

Everyone came running to the scene and watched as Dale shot the walker. Carl laid on the ground, a huge chunk in his neck missing. Lori and Rick ran over to him, crying. I crawled towards my best friend. I was bawling as hard as his parents were. Everyone stood around in shock. I placed his head lightly in my lap as I watched Rick and Lori say their final goodbyes.

Lori sat cuddled on Rick not knowing what to do. Carl was panting and groaning in pain. I began my goodbye. "Carl, you're my best friend. You know that, right? You've meant so much to me these past few months. I love you" I cried. Carl began to struggle with his words. He was trying to say he loved me back. "Carl, shh. It's okay." I hushed him. "You can let go" I whispered, connecting his forehead with mine. Carl's eyes drifted shut, never to open again. "Don't forget me" I whispered as his soul floated to heaven.

Everyone was crying. Watching the young Carl Grimes leave to a better place. Rick pulled out his gun and placed it to his sons head and pulled the trigger, not giving him the chance to turn.

Carl's death definitely changed my life. It made me sad that my best friend and first love was gone. I think of it this way, Carl was the best friend I fell in love with, I will never find that with anyone else. Carl Grimes, he was one of a kind.
