Y/N P.O.V

'Did he mean it?' My brain wants me to believe him. But my heart is hurting. What should I do? Should I trust him, what if he hurts me again. I don't want to risk that. The pain I felt is too much. I don't know if I can take more.

Should I forgive Carl?

-Give Me a Chance-

Y/N P.O.V

I woke up around evening with a pounding head. My body is getting weaker. I don't know what happen.... Is this the side effect of my ability? I just wanna help someone, why does my ability has to have a side effects.

I'm laying down on my bed, staring up the ceiling. There's nothing much to do... I'm getting bored. I glance to my side, my guitar is sitting there. I sit up and lean myself on the headboard. I pick my guitar up and place it down on my lap. I start to play a few tune. Then I start playing a song.

(This song is called Down - Jason Walker)

I don't know where I'm at
I'm standing in the back
And I'm tired of waiting

I'm waiting here in line
Hoping that I'll find
What I've been chasing

I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
So why do I try?
I know I'm gonna fall down

Thought I could fly
So why did I drown
I never know why
It's coming
Down down down

I'm too into the song, that I didn't notice someone enters the room. The song is soon over. The person gave a soft clap. I look to the person, then look away ones I know who it was. Carl. "What do you want?" I asks still not looking.

He makes his way towards me and sit at the far end of the bed. "I want a second chance from you" he said quietly. I scoffed "you already have your second chance" I spat. "Give me one more.... Pleasee..." He pleads. I look at him with a furrowed eyebrows. "And what do that give me, Carl?" I ask him. He just stayed silent. "I don't know how much of pain I could take. You know how much pain I've been feeling... You promised me you won't add anymore pain on me... Look what you did?! You've broke me more than I already am" I yelled at him. I look away from him. "Please... Just... Leave me alone" I say looking away from him once more.

I heard him sigh and the bed shift. Then his footsteps fading away, before he closes the door I heard him say. "I know what I did was wrong. I regret every bits of it. I just hope that... You'll forgive me. I love you, Y/N... I really do" then the door closed. I turn to the empty space he was once in. I pull my knee close to my chest and starts crying. It's too much... The pain is just too much.

The rest of the day I just stayed in bed. Carol would come and check on my condition. She tries to get me to eat but fails. I don't have any appetite. I just laid there motionlessly.

The door opens. But I didn't turn around. "Y/N?" It's Glenn. I just stayed silent. "I know you're not sleeping" he said. I sigh and turn around. "What?" I asks. "I'm just checking on you. How are you feeling?" He questions. I shrug "apart from my aching heart. I'm fine" I say. He looks at me concern "he didn't mean to you know... He loves you so much" he said. I look away from him "if you're here to talk about that. You might as well just leave. I'm not talking about that boy" I say. I turn my back facing him. I can feel his eyes on me, but I couldn't care less. I'm really in no mood dealing with Carl or anyone. I just wanna be alone.

Time-skip

A week has passed and I'm finally back on my feet. But Deana has been going easy on me. She apologise for asking me to heal her Mom. I... of course forgives her. She didn't know about me.

I walk around Alexandria, like I always do. Looking for someone who needs help. But they seems to have everything in control. So I just walk towards a higher base. A watchtower.

I start climbing the ladder. As I almost reach the top. I heard someone fighting. They sound familiar so I just stayed there and listen.

"This is all your fault! If it weren't for you, Y/N wouldn't have left me. She would've still be mine. I just got her back and you ruined everything!" Said a voice I recognised as Carl's. "Why would you like her anyway. You have me" said another. Enid. "No! I love Y/N and I don't want you" Carl yells.

Enid storm away and she walks pass me. She glares at me and I returns it harder. She flinch and walk away. I turn to where Carl is to see him already looking at me. I can tell he's surprise seeing me. "You've recovered?" He asks. I just nod my head "I'm okay..." I say. Carl shuffle awkwardly on his feet. I look away from him and walk over towards the railing. I take a seat, leaning my elbow on the railing. I heard his footsteps, I glance at my side to see Carl sitting down, next to me.

There's a moment of silent between us. But it was broke by me "I've heard everything... So she's the one who makes move on you?" I say. Carl snaps his head at me, surprised that I'm actually talking to him. Then he recovers from his temporary shock and reply "Yeah! Please believe me Y/N" he pleads. I sigh and got up "I don't know... Give me some time. Now that I know, you don't really mean to hurt me. I might forgive you" I say. Then I turn to walk away. But before I'm able to, a hand grabs mine. "Please forgive me..." He whispers. I look down but not at him "I forgive you. But... I need time to accept you back" I say pulling my hand away. I walk away but before I reach the stairs, I turn around and look at him. He looks back at me with a sad expression. "I love you, Carl" I say, gently. His eyes widened in respond. But before he could say anything else, I'm already out.
