CHAPTER 6

"I love you..." he whispered looking at me from across the table in our home. "...and i know ive messed up, alot...more than i can count of both of my damn hands..." he grinned a little bit and i gave him a confused look...this wasnt like him. "and i want to spend the rest of my time i have on this hell of an earth with you..." thats when i looked over at Daryl who was watching from the seat at the end of the table.

He got down on one knee and pulled a simple diamond ring out of his back pocket, tears filled my eyes as the biggest smile spread across my face.

"will ya marry me darlin?" he said with a promising smile, looking up at me.

"merle! y-yes!" he stood up quickly but i gave him no time to even give me the ring before i jumped in his arms, holding on to him.

then suddenly all happiness was taken from me when i was ripped out of merles arms amd slung to the ground by the hands of negan.

"now that...that is not acceptable! I told you i do not share!" He yelled.

He swung lucille from side to side whistling calmly.

"And now princess...your gonna pay!"

The bat raised above negans head and fell down hard on merles

"No! Merle!" I screamed, jolting myself awake.

i looked over to see negan staring at me "what in the ever livin hell is wrong with you?" He asked. "And why are you dreaming of that fucker and not me?" He asked again.

"You were in it... I whispered, a single tear ran down my face. Negan pulled me in and kissed my forehead, wiping it away.

"Dont you cry my dear... I think i know what will help you..." He slung himself out of bed and threw on pants.

"Were gonna pay a surprize visit to your friends... Would you like that princess?" Negan asked smiling at me.

"yes..." I said getting up.

"But first...you gotta put this on." He threw me a black leather jacket, similar to his that read: Property of Negan. On the back, he gave me a brand new pair of jeans and boots.

"Where did you get all of this?" I asked him picking up the jeans.

"I have connections...whats wrong? I cant give you stuff?" He said raising an eyebrow.

...it was nice, and i needed new clothes but this wasnt me... He was changing me in more ways that i wanted.

"Yes...thank you." I said kissing him on the cheek.

I didnt want to upset him...

We got in the car and he turned on the radio, playing a CD. The whole way there he had his hand on my thigh, not lightly either...

"Little pig, little pig! ...let...me...in!" He yelled banging on the gate with lucille. I glanced down at my watch, 4:56 am.

I was startled as the gate screeched open, and there stood Rick and Michonne.

"Well hello! We thought we'd stop by for a little visit...excuse us." He said, taking me by the hand and leading me into my home. "Wheres everyone?" I asked rick who was looking around confused. "Houses...you alright?" He asked. I nodded and looked up at negan.

"Now...show me where you live... Sorry excuse me i meant lived." He said.

I walked to the first house on the right, down the long driveway and into the garage. I looked around and took a deep breath...it had been so long since id been here.

I turned the knob and it was unlocked...it always was, we trusted these people. I walked into the dark house and looked around the kitchen, and saw beer bottles scattered on the table and an ashtray full of cigarettes.

"well...someones a bit of a drinker.." Negan whispered.

"Merles asleep..." I said in a hushed tone.

"Well go see him then...and remember i-" i cut him off knowing what he was going to say.

"You dont share...i know..." I whispered.

Negan smirked "smart girl..." He growled.

i walked down the hallway, leaving negan in the living room looking at the pictures on the wall.

Our bedroom door was cracked so i walked in, he was dead asleep. There was a pillow on my side on the bed, where i slept.

i quietly walked over to him and climbed on the bed, sitting beside him. "Merle..." I whispered shaking him.

He shot up and looked around, then focased on my face. "Sammy...what are you doing here sugar?" He groaned tiredly. "Negan brought me...i had a dream about you...i woke up saying your name..." I said, reaching up to touch his face. "What in the hell are you wearing girly?" He asked with a grin. "Negan gave them too me...come here..." I whispered as he sat up, I pulled him too me.

He held onto me tightly and kissed my cheek.

"i dont see any hickeys..." He said with a laugh. "I love you..." I said... Instead of replying he pulled me into a deep kiss...but it didnt feel the same...and that broke my heart.

"I hope he didnt see that..." I whispered.

"Hes here? In our fuckin house!" Merle said becoming angry. I nodded and merle got out of the bed and threw on clothes.

as we walked into the living room, both our hearts stopped as we looked at negan...

"well well...well...who is this precious little thing?"
