*SPOILERS*
Ro's P.O.V.
It's been a week since Rick's group has came to Alexandria. It feels as if Rick has taken over Alexandria, for better or for worse. It's been two weeks since I've came here, and I'd hated every bit of it until Rick and his group came. They know how to survive. These people don't. This place isn't safe, and I need to make that clear to them before they get too attached.

"Carl," I whisper. He turns around, facing me with a small smile.

"Hey" he smiles, looking down at Judith as he walks over. "What's up?" He asks.

"We need to leave. Everyone does. This place, these people, they're not safe and they're not strong. They're gonna get us all killed." I state, letting it out.

"How much sleep have you had?" He giggles.

"Enough to know what's going on." I say with a blank expression. His smile slowly fades, knowing I'm serious.

"We can't leave. The group is starting to adjust and the walls-" I cut him off.

"The walls are gonna fall, Carl. Have you seen how many walkers are outside? From what Maggie told me about the prison, I think you of all people would know that no matter how strong walls or gates are, a large amount of walkers can still knock it over. Correct me if I'm wrong." I say, putting my hand on my hip.

"The group is starting to get comfortable. I don't wanna give them hope, then rip it away, Ro."

"Carl, this place isn't gonna work. You need to wake up. Look, I'm leaving tonight at dinner, with or without you and your group." I say, walking away.

"Ro!" Calls Carl, but I don't turn around. I've made my decision, and I'm leaving before things get ugly.

~Later that day~

Everyone sets around the large dinner table, chicken pot pies being served for dinner tonight. These were my favorite when I was younger, so this brings back memories.

As we're praying I glance up at Carl, who is looking at me with an angry expression. I know he's judging me for what I said earlier. He's been giving me those looks all day.

"Amen" says Father Gabriel, giving us permission to look up and start eating.

I start to cut mine, soon deciding I'm too nervous about leaving to eat.

"Excuse me, Carol" I say. She looks over at me with a confused expression. Her, Carl, and Enid are the only ones who know I'm leaving.

"May I be excused to get a ziplock bag? I don't feel like eating, but I want to save it for later." I say, hoping she lets me.

"Sure sweetie. They're just around the corner in the pantry." She says, excusing me.

"Thanks" I smile, taking my plate with me. I walk around the corner and in the pantry. I put my plate on the table, bending down to grab the ziplock bags off of the bottom shelves.

I stand back up, turning around to meet Carl face to face. He looks so angry, and I can't help but feel bad. Carl and I have became really close in the past week, almost as close as Enid and I.

"I'm not letting you leave." He says, looking down at me.
He grabs my wrists, fingers piercing into my skin hard enough to leave bruises there tomorrow. "Carl, you're scaring me." I say, hoping he'll let me go.

His eyes soften, cupping my pale, red wrists. "I- I'm sorry" he starts to cry, putting his head on my shoulder.

"Please, please don't go" he cries, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist.

We stand like that for a few minutes, until he decides to let go. I grab his hand, and we slide our backs against the cabinets until we're sitting. I grab his hand, caressing the skin above his thumb. "Do you want to talk about it?" I ask quietly.

"Around the beginning of the apocalypse, I met this girl named Sophia," he starts, and I rest my head against the side his shoulder. He was that much taller than me.

"We were best friends, and the rumor around camp was that she had a crush on me."
I don't know why, but when he said that, my blood started to boil.

"And then one day while we were traveling, a herd came. We didn't have time to go anywhere, so we hid under the cars. I was under a car beside her while her mom, Carol, and my mom were under a car together."
Carol had a daughter?

"And a walker came towards her, so she ran into the woods. She went missing. Truth is, I had a crush on her too. I didn't want to move until we found her, or she came back. One day, while we were out looking for her, I found a deer and was so close to touching it, and then I got shot by a hunter. Long story short, we found her in a barn as a walker." He says, a tear rolling down his face.

"Carl, I'm so sorry." I say, wrapping my arms around his wide torso.

"That's not what makes me sad, Ro. What makes me sad is I like you, and I don't want you to leave.." He says, dropping his voice.

"Carl, I have to leave. I'll come back, but when I do I expect you to be ready to leave with me, okay?"

"Okay" he says, a small smile forming as tears roll down his face.

I put my food in the bag, sealing it up. I open the window, about to leave, then I turn around to see that Carl's still here, watching from the doorway.

I quickly run over to him, kiss him on the cheek, then leave through the window. I run back to the house, getting my stuff, then climbing the wall, finding a spot where walkers aren't.

I jump down, falling on my hands and knees, then run as fast as I can.

~About a month later~

I slowly walk back Alexandria, seeing a new barrier put up with only a few walkers on the outside. Someone puts down the walkers, their lifeless bodies falling to the ground. 

I see that it's Maggie who's on watch, so I run up close to the walls, waving my hands like crazy.

*and then a walker comes up from behind and bites her. Jk, jk*

She sees it's me, then she waves back, yelling at someone below her to open the gate.

*if you wanna, listen to outer space / carry on by 5sos. Skip to carry on*

I run as fast as I can towards the gate, falling to my knees as soon as I got in. I look up to see Rick and Michonne. They smile down at me, as I smile up at them. I stand, stumbling towards them, hugging them.

They let me go and I run as fast as I can to where Carl's room used to be. I fling open his door to find him

*cheating on me with Enid. Jk, jk*

Looking down at the floor twiddling his thumbs. His right eye is wrapped in bandages.

*listen to vapor by 5sos while reading if you want the feels. Skip to the chorus*

"Surprise" I say, causing his head to snap up, a smile forming on his face.

He runs up to me, hugging me tightly. His lips then meet mine, causing me to melt inside.

"I missed you" he says.

Who's watching TWD tonight. I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but it's something, right?
