I never thought this would happen. Ever. I just want to say a big thank you to Chandler Riggs for portraying this amazing character that is Carl Grimes. No one could have played this roll any better. This book is what got me into loving writing books, And to be honest. I thought about it so much, I wasn't even gonna write this book because i thought 'Who would want to read a book like this?' but i gave it a shot and I loved it. I got you guys, and it makes me so happy that i can put a smile on your face. And i love to see you guys comment, making me smile, Some of the comments make my day. Some of them make me laugh. I love you guys! Don't worry, I will continue Ashley's story line... Just not with Carl by her side..

 R.I.P Carl Grimes

 The smol bean :)

~Ashley's Pov~

We got to the trucks and the cars. Caught up with the rest. I can't go. I can't leave Carl. "Let's go." Daryl said opening the door to the truck. "I-I'm not going with you." I said as my voice shook. Carl was out there. Talking to Negan alone. While the rest of us just ran? That shouldn't be him out there. "Get in now Ashley" he said grabbing my arm. "I'm not going!" i said raising my voice a little and pulling away from him. "Yes you are. Get in the damn truck." He said again. "No." I said as tears welled up in my eyes. My eyes burned with tears. "Ashley." he said. "no." i said again backing away a few steps. "We need to go!" he said. "You need to go" I said. "We both need to go." He said. "No. Daryl i'm not leaving Carl." I said shaking my head.

"He told you to leave Ashley. He begged you to leave." He said trying to convince me to get in the truck and get out of Alexandria. "I don't care Daryl. Go." i said starting to make my way back to Carl. I don't care. I'm going after in. "Ashley don't make me grab you and force you in this damn truck." He said angry. I turned around and looked at him. 

"I'm not going! Don't you understand?" i asked. "No i don't." He said. "Okay. Answer one question." I said. "We don't have time for this." he said. "Then you better answer quick." I said looking at him. He looked at me. "Do you care about me?" I asked him. "Yes. Yes i do." He said. "Okay. Then let me go to him." I said. "no." he said. "If you care about me. You'll let me go Daryl." i said.

"No. You're killing yourself if you go out there." He said. "And Carl isn't? Daryl He's talking to Negan alone. How do you think that's gonna end? I have to go get him. Please." I said turning around again. "Ashley!" He said angry. I turned around to look at him again. "I love him!" I said as a tear fell. "Let me go get him. Please." I said backing away. "you'll see me again okay? Just go." i said. "promise me." he said. I shook my head. "I can't do that. You know i can't promise you that..." i said as i held back tears. He looked at me but didn't say anything. I ran off. Ignoring the calls that I was getting not only from him. But from the rest. "Let's go!" I heard Daryl say in a tone i haven't heard ever..

I looked back to see the truck finally leave. I saw Explosions towards the front of Alexandria making me run faster. I'm running towards that. Great. "Carl!" I called out running. More explosions went off. Yeah, Daryl was right. I was killing myself for this boy.. "Carl!" I called out again. More explosions went off around me. I felt the heat all over me. The ground was shaking. In the distance i saw people throwing more grenades. Explosions going off. The houses started blowing up. "oh shit.." i said. They were bursting in flames. I ran away from the houses but i fell, The blast pushing me down. I hit my head on the floor but i backed away from the flames. Looking at the houses. Holding myself up with my elbows on the ground.

They're winning... Alexandria was literally burning to the ground. My ears were ringing. I felt someone's arms around me. Picking me up by my arms from behind me. "What are you doing here." The voice seemed so far away. "You can't he here!" I heard the voice clearer. I snapped out of it and got to my feet. "Why did you come back." I turned to see Carl in tears looking at me. "You shouldn't have come back Ashley." He said in tears. "I wasn't gonna leave you alone." I said in tears myself. "We have to go." He said as his voice shook. We started taking off again but i noticed he was limping. He was hurt. I put his arm around my shoulders, supporting him.

"Why did you come back. You're killing yourself." He said crying. "And you're not? Daryl told me the same thing. Carl. I came back for you." I said as we walked away. "You shouldn't have..." He said shaking his head and looking down. "I'm glad i did. I don't care what you say. I'll always come back for you and i know you'd do the same thing." i said walking. Supporting him. "On the ground kids!" We heard a voice. Carl let go of me and pulled the pin to another smoke grande. Once the smoke was dark enough we turned. "Go." He said opening the cover that leads to the sewer. "go go go." he said helping me down. He came down and closed the lid.
He stayed on the ladder. Holding on and looking up. I was already on the floor. We saw two guys pass by. "They're gone.." he said still looking up.

He made his way down slowly and i helped him down to the floor. "It's bad is it?" We saw Siddiq sitting down. "Bad. The rest are coming back in a while if they stick to the plan.." Carl said as we reached the end of the tunnel. He nodded. Carl leaned against the wall and winced as he slid down to the floor. I looked at him. "Are you okay..? You don't- look so good." i said noticing that he was sweating a lot. "no..." he said closing his eyes. "What happened to your leg?" i asked bending down and putting a hand on his leg. "It's not my leg..." he said. "It clearly is. Did you fall? What happened?" I asked looking at him. "Ashley- It's not my leg." He said looking at me as tears fell.

I furrowed my eyebrows, Looking at him confused. "What are you talking about..?" i asked scared. My heart never stopped racing. He looked at me nervous and sadly. "I'm sorry..." he said as his voice cracked. More tears fell. He was crying. "Carl.. You're scaring me.." i said softly looking at him. He swallowed the lump his throat. "I- I got bit.." He said as another tear fell. I looked at him worried. Reading his features. I blinked a few times making a few more tears fell. "W-what?" i whispered in shock as i looked at him. He nodded. 

"I got bit." He said again as his voice cracked. "No." I said shaking my head. "No. You're lying." I said as more tears fell. "I wish i was. I really wish i was Ashley." he said crying. "no." I said again shaking my head. "Please- Ashley" he said crying putting his hands on my cheeks. Holding my face. We were both crying at this point. "Carl.." I said in a tone he's never heard before. He looked at me. The look on his face- He looked broken. 

"I'm sorry." he said as his voice cracked once again, more tears fell. He lifted up his shirt and i saw a white patch but with no blood on it... He looked at me but i looked at the patch in shock... He slowly reached out and pulled it down to reveal a bite mark... I let out a breath and looked at the bite in shock. I felt my heart shatter immediately. My mouth fell open a bit. My heart aches. It's like i forgot how to breathe... Another tear fell. "no..." i said shaking my head. "no." i said as a sob escaped my mouth. He covered it up. "Carl." I said looking at him. He nodded. "come here." he said crying and reaching out to me. I hugged him. Siddiq was looking at us in shock..

I don't know when or where this happened... It wasn't from now. It's been there for a while... "Why didn't you tell me Carl? Why didn't you tell me.?" I asked crying on his shoulder. "I didn't want to see you like this- But i can't do anything about it. And i'm scared. Ashley i'm so scared... I don't want to die..." he said crying against my shoulder. I held him close to me, he did the same. "I'm so sorry. I don't want to leave you. Or anyone." he said kissing my head. More tears fell and a sob escaped my mouth. "I love you so much." He said. Holding me. "I love you." i said crying. Is this really happening? Am i really losing the person i love the most..?

~~~

The rest came back. Carl was getting way worse. He's dying...

He was pale. Weak. Sweating. He could barely move. All we've been doing is crying... Holding each other, My head was resting on his shoulder, we were holding hands, they were resting on my thigh. The rest were at a loss of words too. They left us alone... Until Rick and Michonne came by and i left them... I never thought this would happen.. Ever... I headed to Daryl and threw myself in his arms. "It hurts.." i said as more tears fell from my eyes. "Daryl it hurts.." i said looking at him in pain. He looked at me sadly, with tears in his eyes he pulled me in for a hug. "I'm so sorry..." he said holding me. Cradling me.

I'm losing Carl.
