Chandler Riggs/Carl Grimes Imagines (REQUESTS OPEN)

How He Changed Your Life (Imagine 1, Chandler)

(Y/N)= Your Name

*RING*

Your phone was blaring at only 9:30 in the morning. You groaned, rolling towards your nightstand to see who disturbed your sleep. You clicked on your phone, blinded by the sudden light. The screen read *Chandler 😜* .

Chandler was your best friend who you had met at a Comic Con in Chicago. You hadn't seen him since then, he had to return to Georgia to prepare filming for season three while you stayed behind in Chicago. You also secretly had a crush on him but didn't have the guts to say anything. You thought he would never feel the same.

He always suggested moving to Georgia or trying to get you a part in the show, but you never went with the plan. You hadn't had an acting role for a couple years and your parents didn't have the time or money to move to Georgia.

You picked up the phone, eager to talk to your old friend.

Conversation:

(Y/N): Hey Chan!

C: Hey (Y/N)! I have great news!

(Y/N): It better be good since you woke me up.

C: Sorry. Anyway, Greg Nicotero is having auditions for a young female actor our age. She plays a shy girl that runs into the group after being separated from her parents. And she could possibly be Carl's love interest.

(Y/N): And what does that have to do with me?

C: You'd be perfect for the role! And we'd be able to see each other more often!

(Y/N): I don't know if I'm ready to get back in the business, Chan.

C: Please (Y/N), I miss you so much!

(Y/N): Fine, I'll send in an audition tape. But I'm not gonna be surprised if I don't get the part.

C: Yes! I know you can do this.

(Y/N): But what if I do get the part? My family doesn't have the time or money to move.

C: Don't worry, I already talked to my parents. They said it would be ok if you stayed with us, there's a spare bedroom next to mine.

(Y/N): Ok thanks Chan, I'm gonna go now.

C: Ok bye!

(Y/N): Bye!

-One Week Later-

You sat at the table with your phone in your hands. Your leg bounced up and down in anticipation. The day that Chandler informed you of the auditions, you had sent in a tape to the director. Now, Chandler had texted you that they would soon call the one lucky person that got the part. You tossed your phone in your hands, checking the screen every so often.  Five, ten minutes passed by and you still hadn't gotten the call.

You set your phone back on the table, thinking they hadn't picked you. You were on the verge of tears. You told Chandler it didn't matter if they didn't pick you, but it did. It meant everything.

*RING*

The sudden noise startled you and you rushed to pick up the phone, dropping it in the process. Picking it back up, you saw the screen read *Unknown*. Confused, you pressed the green button and put the speaker up to your ear.

Conversation:

(Y/N): Hello?

Unknown: Yes, is this (Y/F/N) (Y/L/N)?

(Y/N): Yes?

Unknown: Congratulations, you got the part. I'm Greg Nicotero and I would like to see you next week in person to meet the cast and fit into our filming schedule.

(Y/N): OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't wait to meet everyone.

Greg: No problem, and I'm sure Chandler would be delighted to see you again.

And with that he hung up. 'That was weird. How does he know that I'm friends with Chandler?' You thought to yourself. You shrugged it off and started dialing Chandler's number.

-3 years later-

"And that's how Chandler Riggs has changed my life," you finished explaining to the interviewer. You now sat on a couch at an interview, with Chandler right by your side. You felt him squeeze your hand slightly, for you had been holding hands through the entire interview.

"Wow, one person had that much of an impact on your life?" The interviewer asked.

"Yup, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you without him." You looked to your left to see the boy you loved staring right back at you. A small smile tugged on your lips as he squeezed your hand again. You knew you had everything you needed sitting right there beside you.
