It’s been a rough time trying to survive the apocalypse especially after Carl’s mother’s death and being so young trying to help his dad raise his little sister. Carl met you when they arrived at Alexandria and you two have grown really close together, but there was a secret that you don’t know about him. Is the scars along his upper body on his back and torso. He’s been scared of showing people them, scared of being judged. He got them after he was wiped by Negan while he was tied to a pole while he was beaten.

One afternoon when he was working out in his garage with his shirt off, wanting to let his scars breathe while they could, he hears you walk in and he panics a bit. He quickly puts his shirt back on to hide the scars, looking at you as you walk in.

“Y/n! H-Hey, what are you doing here?” He asked nervously, a slight tremble to his voice as he hopes you didn’t notice anything strange about him.
