AN-So this is a Glenn goes back in time fanfic, not that I have seen many but I prefer to say anyway. This story will start with Glenn's death, his last moments and his desire to be by Maggie's side and see his child grow up in a better world. Important:

1-I shall change what happens with almost every character ex:(deaths, where he shows up first or even if he loses an arm, leg or something as that).

2-Glenn is the main character in this story but I shall try to give everyone a part on the story and Glenn will not be the leader of the group it'll be Rick but Glenn and Daryl shall help too.

3-the first season shall probably have from 5 to 6 chapters

4-I put the day that we are in after the outbreak and what happened in the TV show compared to what happened in my story.

5-I will put in every chapter the people that are dead, should be dead but are alive and those who should be alive but are dead. (According to the day that they died in the show and if in my story they died before, after or are still alive).

"hey there" Normal speech

This will be in Glenn's POV as almost every chapter and if I need to use someone's else POV I shall warn you guys.

Day 628- Glenn dies being beat to death by Negan with Lucille.

Day 60- (TV show) Rick arrives in Atlanta and Glenn saves him | (My story) Glenn get back in time to the day that he first met Rick.

Dead- ?

Should be dead- ?

Should be alive- ?

Season 1.

Chapter 1: Going back

I looked at my crying wife, hoping that both of us would make past today, while this monster talked with Rick about something after Daryl had punched him in the face.

The next moment, I felt something hit me in the head, making me hit the floor. I felt blood on my face and an agonizing pain while hearing several cries calling my name, then I felt the same thing hit me again, but this time I couldn't hear or see anything and the pain didn't go away.

While I was in that darkness, feeling that pain, I knew that I was dying and I started to think of the things I still wanted to do – see my child born, help him in his every step, make a better world for him – though the thing I wanted the most was to see the woman I love again. Even through the pain, without hearing or seeing a thing, I lifted my head and tried to say my last words for her.

"Maggie...will find you." I don't know why those were my last words for her, knowing that I was dying, but my desire to see her again and hold her in my arms made me say it. After saying that I didn't have any strength left in me and all I could do was wait for my destiny.

I didn't have to wait long...

Line break-

I opened my eyes and saw a man with a sheriff's uniform holding his hand to me and smiling.

"Rick Grimes," said the man that I thought I would never see again, looking a lot younger than I remembered. Looking around, I saw that we were in the same alley where we had met three years earlier.

That couldn't be true. I must've be dreaming. I was going to wake up in Alexandria in no time but...no I remember dying and the pain was certainly real, but this would mean that I either was able to see my future or that I was given a second chance to fulfill my dreams and make this world a better place to my family (or, future family).

"Glenn Rhee," I said and looked down to see walkers trying to climb the ladder. "We need to go now or we are going to be their lunch." I started climbing the ladder with Rick right behind me before even finishing speaking.

We made it to the top and I was already going to the hatchway in the roof, trying to remember the way back. "Wait! I really want to know, why did you help me?" Rick asked me. He was struggling to keep up with me, so I slowed down a little so he could catch up.

"Because I like to think that if it was me in that situation, someone would do the same for me." Still speaking, I started going down the ladder in the hatchway and trying to think of what to do next.

I got to the bottom of the ladder and turn around, going through many doors, hoping each would be the right way. When I saw the window facing the alley and the two walkers lurking there, I reached for my back pocket to get my knife but realized that I didn't have it; instead, I found the walkie-talkie I used at the first time and I used it to call for help.

"Two walkers in the alley – I need back up," I said into the microphone, and without stopping, I reached the alley and I saw two people wearing armor, beating the walkers in the head with a bat, which made me stop in my tracks, flashbacks of how I was beaten to death with a bat running through my mind. In a flash, I realized where we were, so I started running to the door with Rick behind me. As soon as we entered the store, Rick was pushed against some boxes by Andrea.

"I should shoot you," she pointed the gun at his face, but he looked calm, realizing she had not released the lock. Still, I had to fight the urge to defend our future leader.

"Back off, Andrea," Morales said while taking the armor off.

"Back off? Are you for real? We are all going to die because of this stupid asshole!" she said while putting the gun right back at his face.

"Andrea, I said back off," he stood by her side now but she still didn't back off. "So shoot him," he suggested, knowing she wouldn't really do it.

"Dead, we are all dead," she looked more sad than angry now, but she did finally back off.

"I don't understand." Rick really looked different from the guy that we all followed without a second thought. Morales dragged him to the other room like he was a nobody while explaining the rules of survival to him as if Rick is a child.

"Every geek from miles around heard you shooting as a cowboy." T-dog really looked angry now.

"You just rang the dinner bell," Andrea said and we turn just in time to see a walker holding a rock, almost breaking the glass. Everyone on our side of the door took one step back.

"Hey, T-dog, see if you can contact the others." I'd forgotten how much Morales looked like a leader back there.

"Others? The refuge center?" Rick's question almost made me laugh; he was so naive at that time.

"It doesn't exist...a refuge center. We want to contact the people back at our camp." Jacqui was clearly angry, but I think she noticed that he didn't know a thing about what's going on.

T-dog tried to use the radio but it was without connection. "Out, but maybe on the roof." As soon as he stopped talking, we heard gun shots from the roof.

"What the fuck is Dixon doing?" shouted Morales, running upstairs with us all behind him.

We arrived on the roof in time to see Merle shooting at a walker with a rifle while almost falling over the edge of the building. I'm not ashamed to say that I would have loved if he had, just as payback from the time at Woodbury, but knew it wasn't going to happen.

"Hey, Dixon, are you crazy? Stop that now!" shouted Morales, running on a metal tube while Dixon shot one more walker down below before turning around to face us with gun in hand.

"Oh, you should be more polite to a man with a gun," he jumped off the parapet laughing. "Just common sense."

"Hey man, you are wasting the bullets we don't even got." T-dog was running and jumping in front of Merle as Rick and I came to stay behind some tubes at Merle's right.

"Oh, it's bad enough I have this Chilean on my ass all day, now I'm going to get orders from you? That would be the day." Now I remembered why we handcuffed him.

"That would be the day for what?" Things were getting out of control pretty fast and if he beats T-dog, we are going to have problems to get out of here fast. I signal to Rick so he can pass the pipes and go toward Merle's left while I came in from the right.

"You want to know the day? I'm telling you the day, mister yo! That would be the day I take orders from a nigger." I was preparing to make my move when T-dog made his. Rick was already ready on the other side.

"Motherfu..." T-dog tried to punch him with the right, but Merle was faster and hit him with the handle of the gun. As he did that, I moved up on one of the pipes and jumped on Merle, beating him with my radio in the back of his head, knocking him out and making everyone look at me with strange eyes, even Rick, who didn't know me that well yet.

"What are you all looking at? It had to be done, he was being dangerous to the group," I said the same way I used to talk with the people that went with me for the first time on supply runs.

"We know, Glenn, it's just we didn't knew you had it in you to knock Merle out," said Morales, looking kind of impressed.

"Yeah, but I have! So, Rick, you are a cop right?" I saw the confirmation I already knew was coming. I finished, "If you have a set of handcuffs, could you use them on him? We don't need him doing anything stupid after he wakes up." He took the handcuffs from his back pocket and used them on Merle, securing him to the pipe.

"But now we need to find a way to get out of here as fast as possible." Until Rick became what I knew he could be, I will take the leader position. "And I know exactly how to do it," I said, thinking of the way we did it last time.

"And what is your great idea?" I thought I had felt a little bit of sarcasm in his voice, but I let it pass without saying anything.

"Follow me and I will explain." I was already going down the ladder as I started explaining.

Break line-

"Let me see if I got it right. You want to go out there with your clothes like this, hoping that if you smell like them they are not going to notice you. Got everything?" Now I could definitely feel all the sarcasm, but it didn't matter because we were already like this and because I know it's going to work.

"Yeah! Got a better plan? We already heard the glass breaking. We don't have time to think, we need to move." I knew Rick was going to have my back; he was the one who had this idea after all.

"No time, no choices, we gotta go," as I finished, Rick told them to be ready because we were going to get the truck at the end of the street and we opened the door and got out.

There were two walkers in the alley, but, as the first time, they didn't notice us and we passed the bus from below and made our way to the street.

The thing is, it didn't matter that I knew it would work. I still felt bad about it, but we were doing it and we were almost there. Rick and I climbed the gate and as soon as we got in, it started raining.

"Shit! Okay, I will take the red car to distract them and you go and pick everyone else up! Got it?" I didn't even waited for an answer as I was already breaking the window of the car and he was turning the other car on. "See you at the camp, Rick," and I started driving.

"See you Glenn," and he was off, too.

I don't know if it was because after I went back in time, this was my first time alone or if it was because I felt like I was talking to ghosts back there, or even if it was just me breaking down after being beaten to death with a bat in front of my wife and thinking that I would never see the woman that I love again, or see my unborn child grow up, but I started crying like a baby while driving through the streets of Atlanta.

And the thing that came to my mind the most was the thought of holding Maggie in my arms again and I made a promise with myself that this time, I was going to be prepared, I was not going to let Negan kill me again, and when the time came, I would protect my family and I would survive.

END-
