A/N

Listen to 'All I want' by Kodaline

"What happened to him?" I ask Rick, who is also in the room with me and Carl.

"O-Ollie, he lost it. He found out you left and pointed the gun at Carl. I shot him and he shot Carl." Rick choked out. That's why Ollie had a gunshot wound. Rick killed him.

"Is he gonna be okay?"

"I hope so. Oh god I hope so."

We sat there in silence, well Rick sat there in silence, I was awkwardly standing up. Tears pricked the corners of my eyes but failed to show.

"C-can I have a moment with him?" I asked Rick, breaking the silence. He nodded and kissed my forehead before leaving. I walked over to the chair that was next to the bed where Carl laid.

"Hey Carl." I whispered. "My baby. I went away for a week and this happened." I laughed with tears in my eyes. "I'm sorry that I left. It was stupid and because of it, I lost you. I fucking miss you. Please wake up."

Silence.

I scoffed and held his hand tightly. "Carl, listen to me. All I want is to hear your voice, tell me that you love me because without you; I'm dying. We've been through too much for you to leave me. I didn't plan it but, you're the best the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love you; even if you are weird or disgustingly cute. How are you with me? I'm a mess. You're gonna be the person that I marry and love for the rest of my life. I kept my promise, I'm always here for you through everything. Please wake up."

Silence.

~A week later~

Carl's been asleep for a week now.

I go to school, meet Katy and a few others like Mikey. I don't talk to them often, that's because I'm constantly doing something.

Mason's stopped going to school because Ron, Sam and Jessie died. Torn apart by the Roamers.

Alexandria is in bad shape since the walls came down. They're still burning and burying bodies. Or what was left of the bodies...

I see Carl everyday. I go after school and then when we have days off, I see him all day. I read him my books and tell him about my day.

Judith sees Carl aswell. She'll sometimes come with me, Rick or anyone that's got her. She's been more fussy lately because she misses Carl. She cries more too. Like I do...

Mason sometimes comes with me to see him. He draws pictures for him, like Carl looking like a pirate. Today he drew a family photo of me, him and Carl. We were all holding hands and looking at a rainbow. Mason's got a big imagination.

Michonne and Rick see him a lot too. Mostly everyday like me. I catch them heading home when I'm coming in to see Carl. They'll give me a small smile and we'll talk for a while. 

"Hey Rick." I say to him as I walk into the infirmary.

"You sound tired." Michonne told me. I smile weakly and nod.

"Yeah, I haven't slept in a week." I shrug. I didn't really care if I don't sleep. Yeah I'm tired but I'm too worried about him.

"Leave him for today, you need the sleep." Rick agreed. I shook my head and went into the room Carl was in.

"Morning babe." I said as I placed some of my books on the bedside table."How are you today?"

Silence.

"I didn't do much today. It was school again and I've just finished. We had to write a story, mine sucked ass. I brought you another picture that Mason drew. It's you fighting off a walker. You look bad ass." I laugh. He did: his hat placed on his head, his gun aiming at the rotting walker. "He loves you, and I'm not surprised. Who wouldn't love you?"

I sit down beside him and hold his hand and kiss his cheek.

"I brought 'Lord of the rings'. I know you and Alex use to talk about it all the time. Nerds." I mutter at him, hoping to get a response of 'Oh shush you love me.'. Nothing.

I began to read it. I'm not saying it was bad but it was definitely boring. How did Carl and Alex like this stuff? I mean, it's good just hard to get into I guess.

On the 10th chapter, I yawned and i couldn't keep my eyes open.

"Sorry Carl, I'm way too tired. I haven't slept all week because I miss you being beside me. When you wrap your arms around me and hold me so close that I can feel your heart beat. I've missed that." I sigh. "I might just have five minutes of sleep."

I close my eyes and lean my head on the side of the bed next to Carl's arm. It isn't comfortable but it was okay, I didn't care.

~The Next day~

Ugh my neck hurts. So does my ass. I opened my eyes and remembered I slept in the infirmary with Carl. I said five minutes. You. Had. One. Job. Mary.

I yawn and check the time.

11:34!?

Okay so I have exactly 26 minutes to get changed, feed Mason, feed myself,  walk to the garage and learn. Either do all of that or be late. Mr Davidson doesn't like anyone to be late and makes you clean the classroom. I'm not doing that again.

Of all of the people he had to survive?
UGH

I kiss Carl on the cheek and squeeze his hand. He squeezed back.

I stopped what I was doing and looked over at him. "C-Carl?"

"H-hey babe."

A/N

I KNOW THIS PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN IN THE SHOW BUT IDC.

I'LL CHANGE IT COS IT'S A STORY.

I'm updating quite early because I'm so bored and I'm home alone. So...

Might write another chapter.

Who's the strongest character of TWD?

Tbh I think Maggie, Rick and Carl.

Maggie has lost her whole family and is pregnant in the apocalypse. Also she thought that her husband was dead. BUT HE'S ALIVE. HAZZAH

Rick because he's gone through so much; with losing Lori then Jessie and also being a leader which is stressful. Not to mention his son nearly died.

And finally Carl cos he just lost an eye, he lost his mum, he also thought his baby sister died and he's only a kid. Ya know? It's a stressful time.

Anywhore...
