@cxrlxgrxmxs unsteady breaths in, the tears continuing to fall as he took in the reality. His son was going to die, and there was nothing he could do about it.

@cxrlxgrxmxs touch his son. His skin was burning hot, the infection working on him. “I should have been the one to p-protect you. To keep you s-safe. I failed you.” Rick spoke, his tone showing the pain and suffering he was going through due to his failure. He began to take sharp and —

@cxrlxgrxmxs his worry slightly. She was losing Carl too, but somehow she tried to be strong for rick, Carl, and for Judith. “You dong need to be sorry...N-never. Carl...you were the best thang that ever happened to me.” Rick spoke, meaning every word as he reached out a hand to gently—

@cxrlxgrxmxs into a million pieces. Carl deserved so much better than a death like this. All of the terrible things he had lived through, it seemed like a cruel joke for him to go like this. “No...” Rick spoke, Michonne reaching over to place her hand on his shoulder and gently rub to ease—

@cxrlxgrxmxs look at him and see his son slowly dying with him unable to do a damn thing. Rick felt like the worst father alive. A cruel and stabbing pain from everything entered his gut, and he clutched it with a feeble hand. As his son apologized, he felt his heart shatter—

@cxrlxgrxmxs Rick knew that losing Carl was likely going to drive him insane. Losing Lori, even when they were on bad terms was enough to make rick have a mental breakdown. Rick felt the lump in his throat forming as the tears fell from his eyes. He could barely look at his son. He couldn’t—

close by. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Rick asked, tears falling from his eyes as he begged his son for an answer. “I never would have left.” Rick’s voice cracked, in pain.

dead. One of the only people that kept rick fighting to stay alive was dying now, and he didn’t know how he could recover from this. How could he make losing Carl in any way, shape, or form okay? Rick felt sick to his stomach. He kneeled by his son with Michonne and Judith—

other hand was out on the front lines, killing and conquering Negan’s men. As soon as he received news that Negan was back at his home in Alexandria, rick was immediately flying home. Unfortunately, he had received word that it was too late. His son had been bitten by one of the—

Rick hated that he had to be far apart from his son, @cxrlxgrxmxs but it was justifiable in its own light. War was raging on its own front, and they each had jobs they had to do. Carl was contributing in his own way by watching Judith and Alexandria with Michonne. Rick on the —

@CourageousLori “Thanks, Lori...” Rick smiled, warmly at her.

@SavageAsset Just him and her and room for honest and open communication.

@SavageAsset to place a hand behind Lucille. “Follow me.” Rick spoke, showing his human side as he walked through Alexandria with Lucille. He led her carefully to his office, shutting the door behind him once inside and going to sit on the opposite side of his desk. There was no one there.—

@SavageAsset to attack anyways, surrounded by the Leader’s group. Rick nodded, to his men and women, almost like it had been settled. “Alright then. Me and you. We talk. Alone. And then we go from there.” Rick spoke, calmly as he nodded to open the gate. Once the gate was opened, he moved—

@SavageAsset Rick was of course skeptical, but he wanted to be reasonable and understandable. If Lucille really was telling the truth, and she was just looking for somewhere to stay or some help, he didn’t want to be the monster who pushed her away. Rick could tell she was in no position—

@SavageAsset and stood before her, no weapon of his own.

@SavageAsset her. “If you do anything to hurt them, I will end you...” rick spoke, some of his angry side showing, but only because he was putting the group in a vulnerable place with war going on. “How do you know about the Saviors?” Rick asked, moving to the gate now. He slid the gate open-

@SavageAsset to realize the importance of people. Rick lowered his Python, returning it to its sheath. “Alone?! If you’re lyin’ to me, I won’t take kindly. We have people here that are vulnerable...children. And we have people here that can keep them safe....” rick spoke, his eyes going to—

@SavageAsset Rick was never too quick to let someone in the community without thorough evaluation. He had his daughter and son here to keep safe. Lucille didn’t look like a threat. He eyed her up and down and saw that she was surrendering her weapons. Rick was smart enough—

@SavageAsset he said.
