Where is she? Oh god. This is my fault. I did this. I hope it's not too late.
"Dad!" I shouted as I ran down the street, trying to grasp his attention.
"Carl? What's up?" Carol asked me walking out of her house with Judith.
"Mary! She's missing. I-I think- oh god" and I broke down. In front of everyone. Mary means a lot to me and I love her. I'm in love with her.
Come back to me. Please.
~Mary's POV~
Everything was set up. I sat in a large tree and fiddled around with my gun. It was fully loaded and ready to use. Ready for me.
I put the pistol to my head, ready to end it all. I've lost everything. I can't live with it. Everyone's death is my fault. I just feel numb.
I'm ready. I thought. Just as I was about to pull the trigger, the wind picked up and I heard a voice.
A young girl around early twenties maybe older, sat in the tree with me.
She has green/brown eyes and brown ombre hair. Her smile was warm and inviting. She didn't look like she was ready for the apocalypse. That's when I realised who it was. Lucy.
"Hi." She greeted friendly. "What are you doing, Mary?"
"L-Lucy. Is that...?" She nodded and I reached out to grab her only for me to fall out of the tree, onto the not-so-soft ground.
"Oh, Mary. You were always the clumsest of the family." Lucy laughed as she reached her hand out to pull me up. I fell again and went straight through her. "Oh yeah, I'm invisible, duh."
"W-what-"
"You should be more careful, you could of got yourself hurt." A strange voice whispered. From the tree, emerged Jamie. But instead of the bright glow that shone of Lucy, Jamie had his bite mark fully on display.
Jamie?
"Hey Mary."
"I miss you. I-I. Can I be with you again?"
"Are you gonna do that to Mason?" A hard stern voice came from behind me. I turned around as quickly as I could and saw Uncle Chris. "And Alex? What about Carl? This is gonna wreck him."
"How do you...?"
"We're inside your head." Says Lucy going to stand next to Chris.
Am I insane? Have I finally lost it?
"Not sure about that."
"Why can't I do this? Nobody will miss me. I've done everything wrong, I fell out with Carl, Mason is mad."
"Daryl told you that you just needed to be saved, right? So we're saving you."
That sounds ridiculous.
"You may think that but; it's true. Everyone would be destroyed if you died, how did they handle Tyreese? Bob? Noah."
"Get out of my head!" I screamed, grabbing onto my head I frustration. "Leave m-me alone."
"Don't do it. Live; do what we couldn't." And then they vanished. In a flash, my family was gone. I sighed as I sat on the dry, damp floor.
I rose off the floor to make my way home; Where my family is. But just before I go, I need to do something.
I grasped my gun and threw as far as I could. It landed a few metres away. I don't need it anymore.
~Carl's POV~
I'm still stuck here, panicking about Mary. She's going to be dead, when they find her and it's all my fault. I'm such a fuckup.
The gates opened and in walks Dad, Daryl, Aaron, Ollie and Nicolas. They all shook their heads in sad response. My heart sank as I ran towards my house.
When I got there, I punched a wall. My knuckles are in pain but I didn't care. I deserve the same pain Mary felt when she lost Noah.
I slammed my door angrily and laid on my bed and cried. And cried. And cried.
Then I fell asleep with tears still pricking my eyes.
~Mary's POV~
I saw the gates of Alexandria and wondered over to them. Spencer was on duty so I should just be able to seek over the wall again.
My feet hit the ground with a thud taking me off my balance. Spencer is really bad at his job.
I wondered back to my house, but before I could I saw Alex writing my name on 'the wall of deaths'.
I ran over and hugged him from behind. He immediately turned, an shocked expression taking over his face. His eyes started to water but he held them back.
"Mary! Oh my god" He cried. "We have to see Carl. Like right now."
"He doesn't care. He hates me, I know it. When I show up he's gonna be pissed and... and..." I whispered, acknowledging the bad sides and good sides of seeing Carl. He could be really happy and we could be happy again, no more arguments. Or, he can be pissed and never talk to me again.
"He's been in his room all day, crying. Crying, Mary. He loves you and misses you so much."
As so, we trudged to Carl's house. Alex usually asking me the odd question about why and what I did. I just told him, I felt depressed and wanting to end it all. Which ended up with him doing a long speech about Noah and death. I left out the part about my family because he wouldn't understand.
We reached Carl's house and my heart started hurting. Chris was right, how could I do that to Carl?
I knocked on the wooden door and after a couple of seconds, a depressed looking Carl lazily opened the door. His face was kind of emotionless at first blankly staring at the outside. Then his face suddenly changed to a sad yet ecstatic look. His eyes filled with tears of happiness. I also had tears in my eyes.
With his arms wide open, I ran into his arms. He picked me up and spun me around.
"Never, ever, leave me again." He said sternly but so relived.
"I won't. Ever."
A/N
