I gently unwrap my arms around the sleeping Mary and stand up, grabbing my clothes off of the floor. I notice that she has a couple of hickeys. I smirk before I quietly change into a pair of pants, a shirt and some underwear and leave my shirt for Mary to wear. I know she loves wearing my shirts because they make her feel warm and fuzzy. She's so weird but I love her. I kiss her temple before I go downstairs.

"Hiya Judy." I whisper to Judith. Kira has had her for today so she just dropped her off. "Was she okay?"

"Yeah, nothing I couldn't handle." She smiled. Kira has been close to me and Mary recently. I don't know if it's to do with Ron's and Ollie's death but, she isn't as bad as I thought she would be. "So what are you doing later?"

"Nothing really, probably just gonna hang out with Mary." I reply, sitting on the couch with Judith. She fiddles with my finger tips as she giggles.

"Oh well, I was wondering if you wanted to come over; to study, I mean. Mikey can come too. You're so smart."

"I uh..."

"Carl, look-" Mary beams, walking down the stairs in my shirt which looked a little big on her, but she didn't care. "Oh hey Kira..." She says awkwardly.

"Hi Mary." Kira says bluntly. "I'll see you later Carl."

"Uh sure?" I responded. She finally leaves and now it's just me, Judith  and Mary.

"What are doing later?" Mary asks me, coming down the stairs to talk to me.

"I'm helping Kira study."

"Just you two?"

"No, Mikey's coming aswell. Plus aren't you staying at Katy's tonight? For like a girl night or something?"

"Yeah, it's gonna be fun." She smiled and kissed my cheek. "I'm gonna go to mine and get changed. See you later!"

"Um... Mary you need pants to go outside."

"I knew that!" She slams the door and rushes up stairs.

She comes downstairs fully clothed and kisses me, leaving it lingering before she ran out of the door. A small smile grew on my face. I love her so much.

~Mary's POV~

"Hey Mary." Carly calls as I hear her walk in. At the moment I'm sat on the couch reading a comic that Carl lent me.

"Hey! Did you get anything?" I say getting up off of the couch.

"Uh... yeah we found some good stuff. Are you going out later?"

"Yeah, I'm going to Katy's. Wanna come?" She shakes her head and runs upstairs. "Can you keep an eye on Mason?" I shout. She shouts back a eager yes.

Good chat.

It's getting quite late, around fourish. I told Katy I'll be there at four thirty. I  grab my things and rush out the door to Katy's house.

I see Kira heading towards Carl's house. She doesn't have any books to study with. She smirks before walking off to his house. I roll my eyes and knock on Katy's door.

"Hi." Katy cheerfully hugs me and invites me in. She's still a little bummed about her family. Deanna, Reg, Aiden... Alex. She's lost so much. At least she has her brother, Spencer left.

"How are you today?" I ask her sitting down on her perfectly made bed.

"I'm okay I guess. Spencer and Kira are out so we have the house to ourselves." She smiles. I can tell she's hurting inside. Oh and she also shares a house with Kira. "Isn't Kira studying with Mikey and Carl?"

"Yeah, apparently so. There probably just gonna play video games though. You know Mikey." We laugh. "But seriously, I didn't see her with any books."

"Oh. That's strange."

We carry on talking for hours, talking about random crap and sometime nothing at all. Mostly just dancing around her room to some bands she likes.

"I love this song!" She squeals as she stands up on her bed, laughing and singing along. I stand up with her and fall off the bed. I laugh so hard that I've gone really dizzy. But it didn't matter, we were having fun.

"Oh gosh, I haven't felt like this since... Alex." Katy says sadly, taking out a bracelet. It's beautiful. "He made me this, him and Ron. Dorky little jerks." I giggled at the nickname she used to call Alex. "I was his bitch and he was my jerk."

"I know you miss him." I try to comfort her. "I do too."

"Anyway," She coughed and stood up. "Should we go hijack their little study session?" She stuck her hand out and I took it, smirking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Shush!" I laughed quietly, sneaking up to Carl's door. Katy smirked and put her finger up to her lips telling me to be quiet.

"On three... okay?" Katy whispers. I nod.

"Three." I softly speak.

"Two."

"One!" We say in unison. We jump up and open the door and make a loud scream.

I stop and see the worst thing that Carl's ever done.

He sat there, touching and cuddling Kira. Looking all lovey dovey. My boyfriend and a Slut.

"What the fuck!" Kira shouts pretending to be scared. Shut the fuck up bitch.

"Mary?" Carl says, oddly confused. "Mary I swear-"

"Don't EVER talk to me. You fucking asshole!" I shout rushing out the door and running to my house.

Once I get there, I collapse onto my bedroom floor and cry for hours. Everything is messed up. Nothing is perfect anymore. One of the people I trusted with my life is an asshole.

Carl Grimes, why am I so pathetically in love with you?

The end.
