You and Carl have been close friends since Atlanta. You both always helped and were there for eachother. Now you’re all in Alexandria. Carl recently got sick and he only trusts and wants you to help him. He won’t let anybody near him. He’s got a fever, headaches, he’s been throwing up and he feels all weak and vulnerable. He hates it.

He’s staying at your house, he only wants you taking care of him. And of course, being his best friend, you’re willing to do that. He’s been staying in the guest bedroom of your house. He had the curtains closed, lights off, doing nothing but lying there or sleeping. He had a small bucket by the bed, incase he’d throw up, with tissue boxes on the nightstand.

It’s been about an hour since he woke up and you decided to go check on him. You gently knocked on the door and opened it. He was a mess. His hair tangled, his skin pale, he looked awful. He looked up at you with tired eyes, he couldn’t bother to sit up. You closed the door behind you so the light didn’t bother him.
