"So what's the plan?" Carl set the gun down and handed you your folded black top. You gave him a smile and put the shirt on, noticing his cheeks a light shade of pink from seeing you shirtless. "Y/n you're my best friend, whatever you do, whatever shit you get yourself into. I'll be right there with you. And I also know that whatever you're doing isn't gonna work without me"

You chuckled and began to explain things while you got dressed.
"Since there is that bonfire tonight me and you are going to make an appearance then leave. Once we are outside of the walls and a little while down the road I'm gonna give you the gun and you're going to-"

"I'm not shooting you" Carl immediately cut you off taking a seat on your bed.

"Let me finish because that's not what I was going to say" you snapped grabbing your leather jacket and putting it on. "As I was saying, you're going to fire the gun into the air. I know it will be loud enough for people here to hear. I'll leave and you'll come back, say I got bit and you killed me before I turned."

Carl looked at you amused, "You have this figured out don't you?" He asked you his voice filled with sadness. "Now that you're willingly doing this, it makes it a lot easier" you took the gun away from Carl and put it in your belt, under your jackets making it not noticeable.

"Willingly?" Carl questioned a smirk on his face "Well I was gonna show up to your house with a gun pointed at your one eye but this is much easier" you smiled at him and shrugged your shoulders earning a laugh from him.

"Y/n" Carl said softly immediately making the situation serious. The laughs that filled the room gone. "Yeah?" You said nervously sitting down next to him, he looked down not making eye contact with you. "I know you and Enid have a thing and I would never do anything to ruin it but I need to tell you something that I'll never get to tell you again"

Well fuck.

The anxiety immediately rushed through you making you scare shitless about what he was gonna say. Deep down you knew. You knew what he was gonna say you just waited for it. It was obvious. The way he looked at you. The way he cared about you.

"I'm-im in love with you" he finally said looking up at you. You looked at him right in the eye for a second before letting a soft smile form on your face. You reached up and put your hand on the side of his face. "I know"

A knock at the front door made both of you get startled completely saving the almost awkward situation. "you know that tree we carved our initials on? Take my bags there. Go out the back door" you instructed, Carl nodded and you walked out of the room towards the front door.

You swung it open and saw Enid. You gave her a smile before inviting her in, "I saw Carl come in here not too long ago-" "don't worry he left" you chuckled cutting her off with a kiss.

She flashed you a smile "I just came by to see if you were coming to the bonfire tonight. I know its happening soon and was just curious" Enid grabbed your hand and you looked down at it, opening your mouth to say something but immediately closing it.

You quickly looked back at her and smiled trying to make it seem like everything was okay "I guess I will make an appearance" you pressed your lips into a thin line in an attempt to not let tears form. Tonight would be the last night you'd probably ever see her again.
"I'm gonna go help Maggie set some more things up but I'll see you later" Enid gave you a quick kiss and then left.

You closed the door and locked it storming off to your room again and slammed the door. Carl had left with your bags like you had told him to do so now you were alone again. You ran your hands through your hair and looked into your long mirror.

Without thinking you punched it creating a clusters of cracks in it and some blood from your hand.
