*SPOILERS*

Beth's Pov.

I've been here for a good while now. I don't know who made it; except for two.
Carol showed up here yesterday and Michael arrived this morning.
Seeing his face made me wonder if Ashton made it out alive.
I sure hope so. I miss him.

"Beth"

I heard dawn call for me.

"There are some people outside who say they know you. They have our people and we are going to trade you for them, get dressed"

I nod in agreement. Daryl did come for me. I didn't doubt him for one minute; I hope Maggie and Ashton are with him.

I get dressed in what I arrived here in, then finish lacing up my boots.
I walk over to carols wheel chair to roll her down the hall; joined by Michael who was still sore from the bullet wound.

We stood a ways from each other until they came through the door.
And for the first time in a while I could see Ashton. I wanted to run into his arms but I knew that would cause somethin'.

"Alright, one for yours"

Dawn says plainly. I move carol up, but am pulled back by an officer.

Daryl receives carol and pushed her over with the rest of the group.
Michael is handed over with the expense of a broke rib.
I walked slowly up and switch from an officers arms to Daryl's.

"Missed ya"

He whispered

"Same"

I whispered back. Rick pulled me in and kissed my head, after, I looked at ashton.
He ran quickly up to me and spun me around, holding me close.

"I love you, you know that?"

He kissed me sweetly and I intertwined my fingers with his.

"Yea, I love you too ash"

I placed my hand on his face to angle it for another kiss, after, he squeezed me tightly.

Ashton's Pov.

I don't know if I could get any happier, I have my Beth back. I couldn't let go of her.

"Glad for the compromise"

Dawn chimed.

"Yea"

Rick strained before we began to walk out of the room.

"We're gonna need Noah"

I felt Beth tense up and she snuggled in closer.

"That wasn't part of the deal"

"He belongs here"

After a fight or so Noah said he would stay.
Beth turned around, running off to hug Noah.

"I knew you'd come back"

Beth glared at dawns words.

"I get it now,"

I heard a loud gun shot then I see Beth's body thud to the ground.
Daryl shoots dawn, but my eyes don't leave Beth.

"Beth"

I say quietly, I can't hear much from shock.
I move closer to her and see the wound in her head.

"No, no, no! Beth come back to me! please I can't, I-"

I pick her up and cuddle her already cold body up next to me.

"Please, Beth come on, stop this, you can't you, no please"

Daryl places a hand on my shoulder as tears stream down my face.

"I love you, and you love me, Beth come back I need you!"

I kiss her forehead then move a piece of hair out of her face as tears run everywhere.

Daryl lifts her up out of my arms and into his and I try to savor everything I had of her.

*Back at the Church*

"Ash,"

Luke tried to say but I pushed him away.

"Don't talk to me"

"Ashton"

I pinned luke up against the wall; I couldn't see anything through my tears.

"You act like everything's changed between you and emma just because she lost an arm, well let me tell you, you should consider yourself lucky, if Beth had lost just an arm I would be grateful that she was still here with me!"

"I-"

"You're selfish, you don't care about emma, if you did it wouldn't matter so much about her arm!"

I pushed myself off of him and walked outside, feeling weak and incomplete without my Beth.
