Carl Grimes x (girl) Reader

Please Carl, don't leave me.

If you're going to listen to the song, play when Carl gets shot :)

Once he was awake and ready we walked out of the room and pass the body. He looked down and looked up at me "What happened here? Are you okay?" I smiled softly at his protectiveness over me. "It was a close call but yes I'm fine Carl."
Carl and I left the small cabin, making our way back to Alexandria. While we were walking we talked about random things. A popular topic was school, talking about our favorite subjects and the ones we hated. When I was with Carl it felt like everything was normal, until something happened to remind me of the state of the world. if we stayed in Alexandria and never left, everything would seem normal; and that's what I'm afraid of.

I looked up at the huge wall in front of me. " This looks alot taller than it did last night." Carl and I both chuckled. "Yeah this wall has that affect" He said laughing. I nodded and started to climb up the wall once I got to the top I decided to stop and sit for a second. "Hey Carl, you can see the whole town up here." He joined me at the top and made a 'hmpf' noise as he pulled his body over. We sat there for a while, we would have sat there longer if I didn't hear scratching noises underneath us. I looked outside the walls and saw a huge heard of walkers pushing against the wall, it looked to be a weaker spot of the perimeter. I tapped Carl on the shoulder and then pointed down. "Meosjin we got a problem" I said quietly, I hoped he didn't speak Korean. We started to desend down the wall. Once we got to the bottom we started running towards the Grimes' house. By the time we got to it Rick was already standing on the porch talking to Maggie. "Dad! There's a huge heard of walkers on the other side of the west wall! They're gonna push it down!" Carl said loudly, showing the urgency of the situation. Rick looked at Carl and said "That's what Maggie was just telling me." I ran up on the porch and turned to Maggie, " Is Glenn back yet?" I think Maggie could sense the worry in my voice because she put her hand on my shoulder. "I'm sure he'll be back soon." I gave her a small smile. Yeah, before or after that herd knocks down the wall. We all looked at each other, shocked, but also trying to figure out a plan.

It was a little while after everyone knew about the walkers on the West end, me and Carl were walking along the wall making sure everything at the rest of the perimeter was stable. I heard a creaking noise and whipped my head around. The watch tower was falling. Everything started to go in slow motion.What seemed like endless walkers started pouring in on each side of the fallen tower where the walls were down. I felt like I couldn't breathe. My vision was getting blurry when I felt Carl grab onto my arm and pull, hard. I let him drag me away, I was slightly jogging before my brain caught up to what was happening as I went into survival mode and started running as fast as Carl. We ran to the first place we thought of. The Grimes' house.
When we got there Rick, Ron, Jessie, Sam,Judith, Michonne, and Gabriel were already inside. Rick hugged me and Carl, "I'm so happy you guys are alive, I thought...." Carl looked up at him " I'm not a little kid dad, I can survive" he chuckled, trying to not make the emotions of the situation worse, Rick just looked at him and smiled. We pulled away and I saw Carl shoot Ron a dirty look, I questioned it but didn't say anything. "Alright we need to make sure all the windows and doors on the main floor are covered. Y/n, Carl, Ron go to the garage. You three need to block the garage door and the door next to it." As soon as Rick said that we all started jogging towards the garage.
Once we got to the garage I immediately started looking for things to board up the door. I looked towards the glass door and saw just how many walkers were pushing on the door, I'm surprised that it hasn't broken already. "Give me the gun" I heard Carl say, I turned around and looked at him and Ron. Ron just shook his head, a tear rolling down his cheek. "Your dad is just going to keep getting people killed. He's a killer." Carl jumped to Rick's defense "So is your dad." Ron started walking towards the garage door to the main house slowly, "Enid's dead, my mom's dead, my brothers dead" he reaches the door. "they aren't dead. They're still here." Carl said with a confused look on his face. "And you" He locks the door and takes the key out. "You're dead too." Ron starts to pull the gun out of the back of his pants. Before he can even aim it Carl jumps on him. I watch in shock, not knowing what to do. They are on the ground when Ron reaches for a shovel that fell. Carl gets up and runs to the door to the outside, Ron swings the shovel at Carl's head, but Carl ducks and the glass door breaks. I realize what is happening and get up and run towards Ron. "Ron! Stop! Please!" Ron puts the stick of the shovel against Carl's throat and pushes. I pull Ron off of Carl, but fall down. Right at that moment walkers burst through the glass door and Rick and Jesse bust through the garage door. Carl grabs my hand and pulls me up before we all run inside.

We all have sheets over us and walker blood,guts, and brains smeared on us. I walk through the once clean and clear streets of Alexandria I look around, seeing walkers big and small, I actually see a couple of children. My hand starts to get sweaty and hot and I look down at mine and Carl's hand. I focus on our hands instead of the situation to keep myself calm. They go so perfectly together. Maybe I'll ask him later to do this more often. Carl is in front of me and I feel him stop walking so I immediately stop too.

We all form a little group by the pond. Rick looks at all of us too make sure we're okay. "We aren't going to the armoury, there is too many walkers and not enough guns and ammo. I don't even know if we'll make it there. We are going to go to the Quarry. We need vehicles, after we get some, we get them to follow us far outside the gates, then come back." Jesse looks at him worried. "But Judith, I don't know if she can make it to the Quarry." Rick sighs and looks around, trying to think of what to do to protect his baby girl and the rest of us. "I'll take her" Gabriel looks at Rick for confirmation. "I'll get her there safe. I have too. I will." I look at Carl with a worried look on my face, he smiles and nods like saying "it's gonna be okay"
He takes Judith out from underneath his sheet and puts her underneath Gabriel's. I see her for a split second, blood smeared on her cheek, probably from Carl's hand. I get a sick feeling in my stomach knowing all the shit this baby is going to have to go through in her life time. Jesse speaks up suddenly, "Take Sam." Sam looks at her quickly "what no Mom- I need to stay with you." They continue to argue for a short moment when Jesse gives in just to keep him for making anymore noise.
I would've made him go

We've been walking since mid-afternoon and now it's dark. I don't know exactly what time it is but my body is aching from constantly bending slightly and walking so painfully slow. I see Sam look around with tears in his eyes and I feel a stab of guilt. He stops walking and looks at a certain walker, no one tries to find the one he's looking at except me, it was a little boy. One I had saw playing by the pond earlier. I looked back at Sam and heard everyone quietly whispering "Come on Sam, just look at your mom" He looked at her right when three walkers ambushed him. There was a blood curtling scream and I couldn't tell if it was from Sam or Jesse. Sam screams "mom" while blood runs down his face from a walker bite on the side of his skull. Rick stands in shock, Ron has a couple tears start falling down his face, Carl is trying to get Jesse to keep walking so no one else dies, Michonne is just standing there, and Jesse is screaming and crying. I look around and see three more walkers surround Jesse. The whole time she was only looking at Sam, she didn't even care about her own death. Once she was down Carl tried to pull his hand out of hers, but it wouldn't come out. I looked at their hands and did the only logical thing I could think of , I pulled. I may have hurt Carl a little but all I was worrying about is getting him out. I see a walker turn in Carl's direction and I whisper-yell at Rick. "Do something Rick! Please!" My eyes swelling up with tears and Carls skin turning red from my constant pulling, Rick is still standing still, staring at Jesse in what I thought was disbelief. Before I can even comprehend any of Rick's actions he is hitting Jesse's arm over and over with an axe until it breaks off. I'm a little shocked at first but I sigh as Carl is freed.
"You"
I turned around and Ron had a gun pointed at Rick. "You." Michonne shoves her sword through his chest. A gun shot goes off. I hear Carl. "Dad" I see him fall. Blood is splattered across my face. I scream.
Rick picks him up and starts running towards the medical building. All the pain in my body is suddenly gone when the adrenaline hits. I run fast enough to get in front of Rick and start stabbing walkers in the head while Michonne sliced through them to the right of me.
When we made it to the infirmary we rushed in. Carl was put on the table and Denise started asking questions about the wound. She had Michonne hold part of his eye together for her when Rick walked outside. I followed him. We got to the street and Rick started slicing through the walkers that came towards him with his axe. I stood behind him and did the same, except it was a little harder for me, only having a knife but the adrenaline was keeping me going. We did this for a couple minutes and more people started to join. People from the infirmary, people from their houses. A walker was inches away from biting my arm, Tara stabbed it and it fell to the ground. We nodded at each other.
~Time skip~
It's almost morning now, and there is probably thousands of walkers laying on the ground. As soon as the last one was killed I run into the infirmary and look at Carl. He's sleeping, a patch over his eye. He looks, peaceful. I sit in a chair next to him and put my hand on top of his. All of the things that have happened in the last 24 hours hit me, I break down. I cry and cry and cry. That's all I can do. After about a half hour I'm exusted. The last thing I say before laying my head down on our hands is "please Carl. Don't leave me."

So I know this is not exactly like season 6 episode 8 and 9 where Carl really got shot, but I decided to do something different with it and make it more like my kind of writing. This is really long! I think this is the longest one! Anywayy I hope you enjoyed! Leave a comment if you like, and a vote possibly ;) k BYE
