Since the age of five, Y/N L/N and Carl Grimes have been attached at the hip. Between an emotionally absent father and a physically abusive mother, Carl was the only constant that Y/N had in her life.
He had been since the day that they had met in kindergarten.
But then they were torn apart before they ever got the chance to fully understand what they truly meant to each other; and by the time Y/N found her way back to Carl, she was haunted by the gnawing thought that maybe . . . she was never meant to survive this long.
Her mind was a battlefield as cruel as the one outside, and the ways that she coped were not always the kind that guaranteed hher safety, but they were all that kept Y/N going.
That, and her best friend, Carl, who refused to let her believe that nobody loved her.
But when the Saviors carved a permanent reminder of one of the worst nights of her entire life into her flesh and left her broken in ways that Carl feared he could never fix - no matter how much love he poured into her bleeding wounds - it was then when Carl's love for Y/N turned into something far more dangerous than any Walker.
What started as an innocent childhood crush is twisted into something that runs deeper than Carl's very own flesh.
That love might be the thing that saves Y/N;
Or the thing that finally destroys her.
