You and Carl dating was no secret to anyone in the group, not anymore at least. You managed to hide it from when you started dating at the prison until your group found Alexandria and Gabriel saw you guys kissing and snitched to Rick.

But it was fine. From that point on you would hear people tell you it's 'puppy love'. That you guys were young and shouldn't count on it to last. You always brushed them off or even snapped back at them for doubting you guys.

The thought of even losing Carl made you nauseous.

Though, you weren't super observant and bad at reading the room, sometimes. Carl would sometimes borrow a nicer shirt from Glenn so he'd look nicer when he saw you that day or steal his dad's cologne and use it whenever he knew you were coming over.

But you never once complimented or even acknowledged it. Not that you had to but a compliment here and there would've been nice.

You also were super bad at time management. You were always mixing up what days you had patrol which led to him getting cancelled on a lot.

And affection. You were so bad at affection, even before he lost his eye. You couldn't stand being hugged or held, always pushing him off or turning the other way in his bed. Kissing was never more than a peck and you only held hands if you guys were alone.

I guess all this kinda built up and also made Carl feel unwanted by you. He was never planning to talk to you about it but this was the third time this week you had to change your plans with him.

"You are such a bad girlfriend!" He shouted at you as you guys argued in his bedroom.
