*Trigger Warning* "I think I love you. I know you think everything in life is pointless and unfair but I want to change your mind. I want to show you what it's like to be happy."

One infection causes the society to crumble like a cookie. No military, no economy, no leaders, nothing. No one is coming to save you, no one is there to help. Everyday is a struggle for Mariah Beckon, her adopted brother and sister not making it any easier. When the trio cross paths with a group from Atlanta, she meets the people who she belongs with, her family. As the group of people fight to survive, Mariah falls head over heels for one man in particular. No matter how hard she tries she just can't seem to forget that redneck. This is a story of many things: love, betrayal, hatred, death, but the most important of all, surviving. I do not own any of AMC's The Walking Dead characters, however everyone else mine, do not copy ANYTHING please. @Copyright 2013.

Life is broken. That's the only way to explain this damned world. You can't do anything without second guessing your decision, you think that what ever you do is wrong and I can't even count the number of times I've lost my morales. I've had to do things that you should only have to see in the movies. Killing should only be something you hear on the news, but now I don't get a day without hearing people cry and whimper for help or mercy. The world is broken, and it's all thanks to the damned corpses that rise up everyday and chow down on the living. The only reason I haven't given up hope, the only reason I haven't stopped fighting, the only reason I haven't sent a bullet through my brain is because of one thing. This thing that keeps me going, this thing fuels my body, this thing that makes me fight these diseased ridden freaks, is love. The love I have for my family and friends is the only thing that's kept me here, it's the only reason I walk the earth with the dead. Included among my family and friends is the biggest reason I didn't die at the beginning, he's one of the biggest reason's why I protect the prison with my life. This man that saved my life countless times is my broken saviour, this man is none other than my redneck.

"Carl!" "It had to be done (Y/N)!" I started feeling the tears flood my eyes. I dropped to my knees, dropping my gun and covering my face with my hands. He came over to try to help me up but I pushed him away. "Get away from me! How could you do that?!" I screamed at him through my cries. "(Y/N)..." Still crying I shook my head and started running in another direction still hearing people firing. I wanted to get away. Away from the prison. Carl. Everything. He wouldn't have hurt me if he loved me. I started thinking as I was running. 'What if he's in trouble? What if he needs my help? Would I want to risk my life for the person I thought loved me? Is love really worth dying for?' -Ok! So this book is probably going to be a disaster but this is my first xreader so don't hate. Or if you do try to be nice about it thanks xp This STORY is not fully completed meaning it continues in my other book so the story shall go on! (As you read the storyline and details get better. I wasn't too well at writing when I started this but my writing does get better.) THIS BOOK HAS AN OFFICIAL TRAILER JUST SEARCH "Is Love Really Worth Dying For?"

"You miss him, don't you?" "I don't miss him." "Yeah, okay." "I'm serious. He broke my heart why should I forgive his ass?" "Your saying that now. But it's only the first day without him. Pretty soon you won't even know what to do with yourself. I know you two. You love him and he loves you. You don't know what you have until it's gone." --This is the sequel to Is Love Really Worth Dying For? I do not recommend this book for kids under 13 seeing as this book will include violence, suicidal thoughts, and swearing. Hope you enjoy it :3 Started: Nov. 30, 2015
