The only sounds are the leaves and twigs crushing under their feet as they run.

Rick, Daryl, Maggie, Glenn and their newest member to Alexandria Carrie.

"Just up here then we are in the clear!" Rick whispers to the group.

A couple walkers come out from the brush, Daryl and Glenn immediately stabbing them in their heads. After getting passed those few they come to a clearing...seeing Alexandria just ahead they move quickly and cautiously.

Carrie walking behind Rick, grabs his shirt to make him stop "hold up..." she pauses, "listen..." Rick as well as the rest of the group freezes hearing more footsteps. Realizing they are being surrounded.

Glenn looks around, "guys headlights, they aren't walkers"

Just as those words leave his mouth two cars and an RV shows up.

"Everyone remain calm...we are going to be just fine" Rick says trying to keep his composure.

"Bullshit Rick. We are surrounded and it's dark we have no idea who these people are" Carrie says clearly frustrated, being as how she wanted to go a safer route.

Just then the RV door slams open...

"CUT! Alright that's a wrap for today, tomorrow we will pick up from here! Good day everyone! See y'all bright and early tomorrow morning." The director shouts.

"Hey guys wanna grab some food?" Taylor asks as she starts to take her Carrie props off.

Andrew and Norman nod

"Yeah I'm in! I'm sure Drew will pay today" Norman chuckles elbowing Andrew jokingly

"Sweet! I'm going to change. Meet you two outside the trailers in 5" Taylor smiles before heading to hers. Once in her trailer Taylor takes her costume off putting on a white t shirt some ripped jeans and a camo jacket. Running a hand through her hair she then heads back out.

"Took you long enough beauty queen" Andrew teases, as he's leaning against the wall waiting with Norman.

"Oh like you can talk Drew" she punches his arm after coming down the steps from her trailers little porch.

"Alright kids let's roll I'm starved" Norman pipes in already starting to walk over to the Range Rover.

Once at the restaurant they all sit down at a table in the back always saved for the cast since the filming location is so close by. They all look at the menu a bit while ordering drinks.

"Did you guys hear about the new guy?" Andrew asks sipping his drink

Taylor shakes her head "I've heard of his name but I don't think I've met him yet. What about you Norm?"

"Yeah I know the guy pretty well" Norman nods "his name is Jeff. I think you guys will like him"

"He starts tomorrow morning he's playing the role of Negan, word is he's going to kill two people off tomorrow" Andrew looks across the table at her before continuing "looks like you won't be the newbie anymore Tay" he laughs

"Dammit I liked being known as the mysterious new girl" She wags her eyebrows laughing

"No worries there you'll always be a mystery to us squirt" Norman teases ruffling her hair

"Norman you ass" she tries to quickly fix her hair as the food arrives "you're lucky I'm hungry Reedus or you'd be dead meat!" She points at him trying to be serious.

Taylor's POV:

After dinner with the guys I head home to my condo, taking my shoes off and setting my keys on the table by the door. Flopping onto the couch I catch my mind wandering to the new guy...So I grab my lap top quickly typing in the name Norman had said in the car ride back from dinner.

Jeffery Dean Morgan

I click on images "Good god this guy is hot" I say to myself looking through the pictures. I definitely didn't know him, I'd remember if I met THIS guy.

After doing some recon I read my part of the script for the next day. A habit I got into when I first started the show a few months ago. I would read over my lines, take notes, and highlight parts I thought I would need to put more emotion into. Taking note on how aggressive and dominant Jeffery's character is as I read. So much so I thought no one could put on that much of a hard ass role unless they are one

Great another Jon I think to myself. Jon was known as the biggest asshole on the set as of right now. His character was already killed off however we've been filming a lot of flashbacks. Norm and I knew it was too good to be true when we read that Drew's character had killed Shane.

After awhile I decide to get ready for bed changing into a sports bra and a pair of shorts before pulling my covers down and crawling into bed. I hated the mornings we had to be on set at 6am and tomorrow was one of those days so it was definitely time for some shut eye.

I wake up to the obnoxious sound of my phone ringing I blindly reach for it knocking a couple things off my nightstand. Hitting the button to answer it and clearing my throat a little "hellooo?"

I hear Norman's laugh on the other end "well good morning sleeping beauty. I was calling to say I'm outside. But I can tell you ignored your alarms again"

I look at the clock quick seeing it reads 5:30 "oh shit! I turned them off in my sleep again! I'll be right down" I hang up before he could answer. Flying around my apartment I get dressed, do my hair and make a quick cup of coffee to go. I look a little thrown together in my sweats and hair that I clearly just ran a brush through super fast. But it could be worse I grab my cup of coffee and head downstairs getting into the car.

"Norm I'm so sorry! I stayed up late reading over the script" I ramble on

All the sudden I hear a deep chuckle from the back seat "jeez and here I thought you were goin' to say you were up all night googling me"

I look at Norm in the drivers seat then quickly turn around. To see the man I was in fact googling sitting right there. His hazel eyes looking me up and down

"Tay this is Jeffery Dean, Jeff this is Taylor who I was telling you about, she plays Carrie."

Jeffrey smiles charmingly at me "Nice to meet you Taylor, I've heard quite a bit about you"

I let my eyes trail over him as he speaks. Taking in his attire a great V neck T-shirt, some black jeans, black boots, and beanie. He's even hotter in person.

"Nice to meet you as well" I nod at him blushing a bit realizing I look like a damn mess from rushing out the door.

Just then he takes off his beanie the little hair he has a bit ruffled. Handing the fabric to me he smirks "I think you'll be needing this more than myself today"

Norm laughs "he's definitely not lying there Tay I'd take the olive branch"

I playfully grab it from Jeff, putting it on "you guys are rude!" I try holding back a laugh looking in the mirror in the visor adjusting the hat, catching Jeff's eyes in the back, and his satisfied smile on his face.

"Looks better on you anyway doll." He winks.

Once on set we all go to our trailers to begin getting our make up and outfits on. I'm usually the quickest considering I don't really have a signature outfit on the show. Norm and Andrew come out second all three of us standing there shooting the shit.

After about 20 more minutes Jeff comes over in his Negan costume. I about fall over seeing him in the leather jacket and red scarf.

"Well shit man you look badass" Norm says fist bumping him "that's basically what you wear when we are on the bikes" he laughs.

Jeff chuckles shaking his head "it's not too shabby...though I do dig the bat" he props the bat they are calling Lucille on his shoulder. He then looks over at me catching me starting and smiles.

This man is going to be the death of me is the only coherent thought in my head.

"ALRIGHT PEOPLE places!" The director shouts breaking up our little pow wow. We all go to our designated spots.

"annnnnnd ACTION!"

We film a few scenes for the day after Negan's introduction. The last one being a scene between Negan and Carrie. So everyone except Jeff and I were able to go back and change.

"Alright guys so this scene is going to be a lot of raw emotion. Carrie is pissed that Negan killed two of her close friends, and confronts him. Negan has a soft spot for her so remember Jeff to convey that a little to the cameras so they understand why Negan doesn't just kill her too" the director instructs.

Jeff nods standing in front of me, "you got it boss"

"ACTION"

I watch Jeff immediately get into Negan's character as his facial expression changes. I don't know what it is about that change but it sends a jolt of electricity through my body. I snap out of it and get into character.

"How could you fucking kill them?!" Carrie cries, walking right up to Negan "you barely even knew them? What gives you the ri-..."

"Excuse the fuck out of me sweetheart, but I'm the one who calls the god damn shots around here not you. So I would watch your tone with me. However..." he runs his tongue along his teeth before speaking again and stepping closer almost being toe to toe with Carrie grabbing her chin with his gloved hand. "...I like your spunk, so I'll at least answer your stupid question. And it's simply because I can, and I had to show little Rick there who the real boss is and not to fuck with me or anymore of my men" he lets her face go starting to walk away whistling

Carrie is at a loss of words just starring at him think how the fuck can someone be this self centered. "Wow...you really are a prick aren't you?"

"The fuck did you just say to me" he spins around striding over pinning her to the wall behind her with his forearm across her chest

"CUT! That was perfect for today you two!"

I stand there Jeff's arm still across me, my heart pounding out of my chest. He looks over at me backing up then letting me step out from the wall "to your characters credit, Negan kinda is a prick" he smiles.

I laugh a little "ummm ya think?"

Jeff laughs too, then as we walk back to the trailers stops in front of mine with me, "So I invited norm, Drew, and Lauren over for a few drinks after we were done today if you want to join?"

"Yeah sounds like fun" I blush a little hoping he doesn't notice

"Alright" his smile widens "I'll see you in a bit then Taylor" he walks back into his trailer which is only one down from mine.

I quickly go inside mine, after a long debate on what to wear, I get changed into jeans, white converse, a black long sleeve shirt and the beanie Jeff let me borrow earlier. As I'm ready to walk out the door I get a text from Norm

Reedus: "hey you coming to Jeff's tonight?"

I quickly type back that I'm on my way. When my phone goes off again, this time a number I don't know

Unknown: "Hey, it's Jeff. Norm gave me your number so I could text you my address"

I smile to myself reading it and saving his number as he sends the address then

Jeffery Dean: "see you soon! :)"

I get in my car driving over, starting to feel the butterfly feeling in my stomach as I get closer to his place. I know it will be a group of us but I'm still a little nervous. I park in the parking garage of his condo taking the elevator up to his place. Standing in front of his door I take a deep breath and knock.
