WORLD

Faye Dixon
~Five Days After Faye's Injury~

  "Have you ever thought about, you know,  life as it used to be?  Before all of this?" Clem asked. Her, Carl, and I were walking around Alexandria, we do it all the time. "Yeah. A lot actually. I think about what my mom would say about the world now, and how she'd yell at me for not cutting my hair." Carl laughed lightly, along with Clem and I. 

"Hey, Carl?" I asked, looking to my right where Carl was. "Yeah?" He kicked a stone, causing it to fly in front of us. "Why don't you cut your hair?" I asked, and when he stopped walking I knew that I'd crossed some sort of unspoken line "None of your fucking business!" He snapped. "Watch it before I beat the fuck outta you Grimes.  You don't get to talk to me like that. It's fine if you don't want to answer it. I was just curious." My voice became softer as I spoke, clearly, it was a touchy subject.

"You? The little girl who couldn't accept the fact that she had a father? Beat me up? You wish," Carl scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Fuck off Dixon. You're weak!" Carl took a step toward me like he was going to shove me. A gun being pulled out was heard. "Don't. Fucking. Touch. Her." Clem's voice was hard and sturdy. As always, Carl shoved me to the ground and Clem didn't even flinch when she pulled the trigger. The boy fell to the ground screaming in pain. "What the fuck Clem!" I yelled, too shocked to move. 

"It was only his shoulder. He'll live. I hit him where it would hurt him,  but it only grazed him." It was funny how Clementine always sounded so confident, no matter what.  I ran to Carl, my feet finally listening to my brain. I got down on my knees, checking his shoulder. Sure as hell it had only "grazed" him. "Fuck Clementine!  You didn't graze him! It-It's in his shoulder." I panicked, looking at Carl. His face got paler, and his eyelids were slowly opening slower and slower. I pressed my hand against his wound and earned a Groan from him. "Go get help before I put a bullet in you next!" I spat anger flooding through my body. I moved Carl's head onto my lap as I cried and prayed Clementine would find help soon.

I stroked Carl's hair as he fell limp in my arms. The only thing going through my head was how badly I wanted to hurt Clem the way she'd hurt Carl. Within a matter of about thirty seconds footsteps were heard running towards me. My hand was now covered in Carl's blood as Rick stepped in front of me, looking at the boy. 

Rick started panicking as well, tears welling up in his eyes. "Just fucking help him okay? If I was strong enough I would have lifted him a long time ago!" I said, tears running down my face. Rick took Carl out of my hands and began to run back to the Infirmary, where we had one of the kingdom's doctors, as I had learned we lost ours. I just sat there, staring at my hands covered in his blood. "That's his blood." I said in a state of shock, my voice quivering. Sure Carl and I fought a lot, and it usually got physical, but weapons were never drawn. We'd always fought with our hands. 

Soon after me staring at his blood for what felt like years, reality set in. Carl could be dying. I got up and bolted to the infirmary, where Rick, Michonne, Daryl, and Maggie stood. "Where is he?" I managed, out of breath from running so fast. "He's in a room, You should leave him alone though." Maggie smiled softly. Rick shoved Maggie out of the way, getting up into my face. "Why did you shoot him?" He said, with so much anger it terrified me. "Watch it, Rick." Daryl warned, placing a hand on the back of Rick's shirt. "I didn't shoot him!" I started explaining what had happened.

"Carl and I were fighting like we always do, and things got bad, Carl shoved me, really hard. Clem drew her gun, she was only trying to protect me, I promise. She warned Carl not to touch me, and then he did. Therefore, in my self-defense, Clem shot. She was trying to only graze him but, you know the rest." I broke down, crying harder and harder to where I felt like I couldn't breathe. "Oh, honey." Maggie hugged me tightly as I cried.

"What if it killed him?" I choked out between sobs. Maggie just held me tighter, and a new voice answered. "You didn't. He is very much alive." The doctor came out, with a smile on his face. "He is, unfortunately, in a coma for right now but, can one of you can check on him occasionally? I have to check on other patients and it will not only help me but you guys, too." I didn't even give it another thought. I raised my hand, "Me. I am." I pulled out of Maggie's grasp before following Dr.Steven to Carls bed. 

"Carl!" I gasped and fell to my knees, the sight was horrid. He had blood on his stomach and left side of his face where the shot wasn't too far below. He had an IV and his face was even paler. 
"Come on sweetheart. Let's get you a chair okay?" The doctor pulled up a chair right next to him and I sat in it. I grabbed Carl's right hand as I was on the right side, the opposite side from the shot, and held it. "I'm so sorry Carl. This is all my fault. I swear on my life that I will fight by your side until the day you wake up. And even then you can't get rid of me." I chuckled to myself and wiped some tears. "I know you'll make it." I started to cry even more. "Sing to him. He used to love it when his mom did it." Rick said, leaning against the doorway with most of the group behind him. "How long have you-" "After you screamed. Just sing." Rick pushed. I nodded a wiped my tears before thinking of the only song that came to mind right now.

  "Say something I'm giving up on you. I'll be the one if you want me to. Anywhere I would have followed you. Say something I'm giving up on you. And I, am feeling so small. It over my head. I knew nothing at all. And I will stumble and fall. I'm still learning to love, just starting to crawl. Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you. Anywhere I would have followed you. Say something, I'm giving up on you. And I should swallow my pride. You're the one that I love. And I'm saying goodbye. Say something, I'm giving up on you. And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you. And anywhere I would've followed you. Say something, I'm giving up on you. Say something I'm giving up on you. Say something." By the end of the song, most of the group was in tears. This group was weird. I loved it.
