SAVIOUR ↣ CARL GRIMES [ON HOLD]

Love and Loss

Gunshots rang in my ears. I noticed the man who once had a gun to my head was laying in the ground dead. I quickly laid on my back and grabbed his knife.

I carefully cut myself free from the ropes. I inspected my bloody wrists. I grabbed the mans gun, knife and the rest of his ammo.

I whipped my head around. Luckily, no one noticed me. I couldn't see Michonne anywhere. Or...Hershel. Tears stung my eyes again but I blinked them back. I had to get out of here.

I began to run behind one of the trucks when I saw something that would haunt me forever. The man with the eyepatch hacking Hershel's head off. I brought my hand to my mouth to muffle my cries.

I had to get out of here. I began to sprint on the other direction, dodging walkers as I went. I finally reached the edge of the forest when I stopped. I looked back at the prison that was now engulfed I flames.

"Goodbye..." I whispered before turning and running into the forest.

I had been walking for god knows how long when I reached the end of the forest. I walked out of the trees and into a road. Thank god! This road might lead to homes. Which could lead to supplies.

I began to walk down the middle of the road. I kept my eyes forward. I tried not to think. Thinking would just lead to...them.

I kept walking until the sun set. I finally had some good luck because I came across an old store.

I walked up to the door and counted to three. I kicked the door open, my gun and knife raised. Once I cleared it I sat against a wall.

Here I was again. Alone. Lost.

I pulled my knees to my chest and cried. No, not cried, sobbed. Long, hard ugly sobs. I sobbed for Hershel. Michonne. Beth. Maggie. Glenn. Rick. Daryl. Judith. Bob. Sasha. Tyreese. The children.

Images of Hershel's death played through my head over and over.

I cried for the prison. My family. Carl. I kept crying. The last thing he saw of me was me being mad at him.

Images of Carl and I's fight played through my head over and over.

He was my best friend. He was my everything.

It was at that moment that I realized it.

I was in love with Carl Grimes.
