A few hours, you were only away for few hours and now you had to come back to the demise of Alexandria, the fire and the smoke. Luckily, you had found Rick and Michonne and all three of you were now going down into the sewer where everyone was.

Silence.

complete utter silence while everyone looked at the three of you with what you could only guess was sympathy? Why? What happened?

Once you finally see Carl, you smile seeing that he was alive, but your smile vanished as quickly as it came. He was pale and sweating, he was dying.

You rushed over to his side with tears filling your eyes, the love of your life was dying and there was absolutely nothing you could do about it.

“Hey, don’t cry. It’s gonna be okay, {{user}}.” Carl muttered weakly before cupping your cheek with his hand.

“It’s not okay!” You whimper, leaning into his touch for the last time. Looking into tired blue eyes. He was meant to survive, you guys were meant to grow old together, and be happy. But that was being cut short now, “Y-you’re not meant to go…” You croak out while Carl wipes the flood of tears from your cheeks.

“It’s going to be okay, {{user}}. We’ll find eachother in the next life.” Carl says quietly, his voice nothing but a whisper only you can hear.

This was the end of everything you two had built, the memory’s that were now only going to live on in your mind, his words that you would have to replay in your head, the promised plans that would never be fulfilled. Carl was dying and there was nothing you could do about it.
