Previously on Chapter 7

He woke up and look at me. "Y/N!!!" He literally jump and hug me. He laid down next to me and pulled me closer. "You're awake, how do you feel" "apart from dizzy. I'm fine. Don't worry" "you make me worried. Don't use it again" "no promise" "why so stubborn?" "I will use it to safe someone I care about. Especially you, Alex" he just smile and pulled me closer, closing his eyes "get some more rest, Y/N" "*pout* but I just woke up" "*chuckle* I know. But you need rest" "*sigh* fine" I snuggle closer to him and close my eyes, letting myself get consumed by darkness. Falling into a dreamless sleep.

Unwanted Reunion

Y/N P.O.V

It's been a week since I use my power. I've been feeling better. Still a bit dizzy, but I can do my activity just fine. Alex is training me how to jump from tree to tree so I wouldn't be on the ground too much, so I could be safer from the walkers.

It was hard at first, but I soon get the hang of it. I got scratch and bruise here and there. But I nailed it!! Which I'm proud of. Oh! And my relationship with Alex got stronger each passing day. Everyone in the camp knew about us and they support us.

Time-skip to Another Week

Another week has passed. Alex and I are going around the forest to look for supply or if any luck more survivor. My skill has improve. I can jump from tree to tree without any problem.

I brought my sword and archery with me like always. After a while, I notice movements. I jump to a tree closer to it. My eyes widened and by breath hitch. It's Carl, Rick, Kelly and a girl I never see before. I was about to go after them but then I remember what happened. I shook my head and put on an emotionless face.

I decided to stay silent and observe them. I look at Carl and notice he looks worse. He had bags under his eyes and seems like he loose some weight. The more I watch them the more I realise that I actually miss him. 'No!! Remember what he did. Trusting other girl more than me. I have Alex' I thought shaking my head. I notice behind him is a walker. Everyone else didn't seem to notice. He may hurt me but I can't let him get injured so I took my bow and readied my arrow and shot the walker. 'Bullseye!' I thought as it flew pass Carl head and hit the walker right in the head making it drop dead. Carl who's startled by my arrow looking around frantically.

"Who shot that?!" He yelled. "Tch. A thank you would be nice" I say sarcastically. He turn to look at me. I'm wearing a hoodie so he wouldn't able to see my face. "Who are you?" "Doesn't matter who I am" "it does matter" "why?" "I wanna know who saved me" "fine" I jump from the tree doing a little flip before landing perfectly on my feet.

I took of my hoodie with my head down. When I look up I notice everyone's eyes widened. "Y-Y/N!!" He shuttered. I smirk "you seem to always get yourself in trouble." He look like he was about to run to me. I pull my sword out. Then raise it. "Don't come any closer" I say coldly.

"I knew the truth. You didn't threaten Kelly. It was her doing. I'm-" "shut up" "what?" "I said shut up!!" I repeat this time higher. "Y/N..." "I don't care what you believe now. It doesn't matter to me" "bu-" "you should've known me better Carl. You knew me longer. You knew how I am. Yet you believe her *pointing my sword at Kelly* more than me. You even still keep her around. How do you think I feel about it, huh?!" I yelled at him. He flinch at my tone.

I walk slowly to Kelly. "Kelly... Kelly... Kelly the little bitch who ruined everything *stopping in front of her*. Keep this in your stupid little brain *poking her forehead harshly* I don't do threat. It's only for cowards. If I hate someone *lean to her ear to whisper* I kill them in an instant" she flinch.

"You're lucky I don't hate you... Yet." I heard sobbing I turn to see Carl crying. "What are you crying about?" "What happen to you, Y/N? You became cold" "tch. You seriously asked me that?" He kept silent. "You forgot? Don't worry I'll refresh your memory. Carl Grimes, the boy I loved. Chose to believe a girl he barely know for less than 5 days more than me, a girl who's always been there for him, comforting him, taking care of him. Now he's asking me, what happen to me? Why I became cold? What kind of question is that?"

"Y/N... I really am sorry. Please... Give me a chance" I was about to answer when I heard someone calling my name. I was then pulled into a hug. I look up to see Alex. Yup! He's a lot taller than me. I only reached his chin. "Gosh! You made me worry. Don't do that again Y/N" "I'm sorry Alex" I say hugging him back, closing my eyes. We pulled away, Alex turn to them. "Y/N... Who are they?" "Remember the people I told you about?" "The one who chose to believe a girl they just knew more than you?" "Yeah" "they are them" I say pointing at them "and that's my ex" I say pointing at Carl.

"Y/N... Who is he?" I heard Carl. "Someone who threat me better than you" I say harshly. "You mean he's..." "Yeah! My Boyfriend" I say leaning to Alex. Carl's eyes showed hurt. I almost break the wall I've built for him. But I wouldn't. Especially since I'm with Alex.

Alex wrapped his arm around my shoulder "let's head back Y/N" I nod. Carl yell at me to wait. But I didn't. We start climbing a tree and start jumping from tree to tree. We finally reach back at the camp. I stayed silent. I feel my eyes tearing up.

Alex pulled me closer. "Shh... Baby I'm here" "A-Alex... You wouldn't betray me like he did, right?" I say sobbing. He hug me tighter "no... Of course not. I love you so much. The thought of betraying you never once cross my mind. I would never" I kept crying. The rest of the group walking towards us but Alex shot them a look and shook his head. They got the message and leave us.

'Even thought that's an unwanted reunion. I have to admit I did miss them. But I have to move on. I have Alex and my new group' I thought as I hug Alex closer. He stayed silent hugging me in his arms, comforting me. He's so understanding. Others will be pissed, knowing their partner still have feelings for their ex. He still love me and comfort me. 'I'll try to forget Carl. And love Alex fully'
