*in woods outside of Alexandria*
(Your pov)
"Hey, Carl?" You asked worriedly. "Hmm?" he hums.
"Stop." You say to your best friend. "Please." You add.
"Why?" He asks and turns around. He then sees what's wrong and pulls out his gun.
There was a man standing near a tree on your left. He had a large gun aimed at Carl and he did not look pleased.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Carl asks with his gun held up to the man.
"I want everything you have. And both of you." The man says and steps out from behind the tree.
"No." Carl says sternly. "Well then, I'll just have to kill you and take your stuff and the girl. Now won't I?" The man says putting his finger on the trigger.
"No!" You yell as you run in front of Carl when the bullet is released. The bullet pierces trough your thigh and you scream out in pain.
"(Y/n)!" Carl screams and shoots the man. He his him square in the forehead.
"Nice shot." You choke out. "Shut up." Carl says, tears forming in his beautiful blue eyes.
"I'll be fine. Please don't cry." You say as he kneels down next to you.
He picks you up bridal style, and carries you to the gate of Alexandria. "Open up! Please! Hurry!" Carl screams as your leg gushes out blood.
The gate opens to reveal a terrified Nicholas. Your vision blurs as you start to get light headed.
You slowly close your eyes when Carl starts to run through Alexandria.
(Carl's pov)
As I ran I noticed (y/n)'s eyes had closed. I reached the infirmary and knocked on the door.
Denise answered and immediately opened it for me to come in. "Set her down on the table." She ordered.
I did as I was told and sat her down. I was full on sobbing by that point.
Maggie, Rosita, and Carol had apparently seen me running here and followed.
When they came in, Maggie and Rosita helped Denise and Carol pushed me out of the infirmary door.
"Calm down, Carl. She'll be ok. I promise. It's was just her leg." Carol says trying to clam me.
Michonne came up to me and didn't even bother to ask questions, she just hugged me.
I cried into her shirt for about 15 minuets. I felt awful. It was all my fault. If she didn't go out there with me then she wouldn't have been shot.
Denise comes out of the infirmary and says, "She's ok. She will need crutches to help her walk but the is just fine." She reassures me.
"Can I see her?" I ask, drying my tears with the back of my hand.
"Yeah. We'll give you two some time alone." She says and motions for me to follow her inside.
When I do I see (y/n) talking to Maggie and Rosita. I smile, knowing she's still alive.
(Your pov)
You see Carl walk through the door. He has red puffy eyes, his nose if pink, he has tear stained cheeks, and his hands are shaking.
"Can you guys give us a minuet?" You ask softly.
"Of course." Rosita says and nudges Maggie to follow. Maggie, Rosita, and Denise walked outside and left you and Carl alone.
"Hey." He says quietly. "I'd do it again." You say looking at him. His eyes are filled with grief.
"What?" He asks. "I'd get shot again if it meant keeping you alive." You say with a small smile.
"(Y/n), I need to tell you something." He says and you nod your head, telling him to continue.
"I realized something in the woods. I realized that I can't live without you. I realized that I couldn't function properly without you. Your my other half, (y/n). I-I love you." He says with a single tear streaming down his face.
"I love you too, Carl. That's why I took a bullet for you. I didn't want you to loose your life. Because I didn't want to live a life without you in it." You say and he comes closer.
You tap the spot next to you, on the bed you were laying in. He sits down and you wipe his tears away.
"You should know by know that your my everything." You tell him as you cup his cheeks in your hands.
You pull his face to yours and connect your lips with his.
"Awwwwwww!" Yells Maggie.
"That's too cute!" Says Rosita.
"Adorable!" Says Michonne.
"Perfect!" Says Denise.
"Finally!" Yells Carol.
"Hallelujah!" Yells Rick, who was apparently in the door way the whole time.
You and Carl don't bother to pull away. The moment was perfect. It felt amazing. There was no way you were going to let a few people watching ruin it.
When you did pull away, Carl says, "I'll be your crutches, if you'll be my girlfriend?"
"You so cheesy." You laugh and kiss him. "So is that a yes?" He asks hopefully.
"Yeah. That's a yes." You reassure him.
