Love In Hell (D.D.)

1.95 "When Did We Stop Loving Daryl?"

Negan "your little sis would smoke out the bullshit, you know that. I let her know that she's just as much a badass as Carl was. How he got into the Sanctuary and shot up a bunch of my men. How dear ol' dad ninja-sliced my jugular. They're all old stories, wifey, - but they are new to her. "

Me "And you tell her these things why? Because you're trying to earn some sort of trust with her? Something that you can use? "

Negan "She likes listening to me talk. "

I scoffed " You like hearing yourself talk."

Negan " So we have that in common. The point is, she comes down here to talk to me because I shoot straight with her. And now, maybe if you did that, you'd be talking to her right now instead of me. "

I asked amused and pissed off „You shoot straight? Really? Did you tell her what you did to Glenn? To Abraham? To her Uncle Daryl? To her own sister? Did you tell her how you forced me to be your wife?"

He didn't say shit.

I nodded "Yeah, I didn't think so."

Negan „I've always been honest with her. She asks questions, and I answer them. So, yeah, she's heard those stories, too. "

I sighed" This some... "

Negan "She hates that Michonne's not letting new people in. She thinks that things should be like Carl thought they should be in the letter that he wrote to her. "

I slammed my hand against the bars "No, you don't get to talk to me about Carl! And you definitely don't get to tell me what she wants or feels! She is my sister! "

Negan stood up "That is exactly right. She is your sister, so she has her own ideas about how things should be."

He eyed me "Oh, you didn't come down here because you're curious. You came down here because you have no idea where she is. Maybe she's off petting a horse. Or maybe she is exactly like her sister, and she is not taking shit lying down. Besides, that, she left this for you"

he handed me a note.

I read it "Kenny, i am sorry. But our friends need help. Judith"

I sighed.

5 years earlier.

Daryl, Michonne and i were walking through the woods trying to find the kids.

I sighed.

Daryl " Let's take a break.I"

Michonne sat down on a swing.

Daryl " I know you wanna be out here. But you got a baby, you know? "

Michonne sighed.

Daryl "We'll find her. We will. "

Michonne shook her head "I can't believe this. She was a friend, you know? Like, a real one. We went through everything together... Figuring out who we were gonna be. Heartbreak...Losing my mom... I wanted her to be that again, you know? I needed it. I let my guard down, and now..."

I shook my head " Hey. This ain't on you. Not even a little. "

Michonne "I should've known, Ken. I should've sensed something. "

Daryl "You didn't 'cause you ain't like her. Some people just got so much evil in their hearts, and they hide it, like they're wearing a mask or something. Nah. This is on her, and she'll pay. We'll find 'em. We will."

She stood up „We should keep moving. "

Daryl and i walked into an elementary school.

There were a bunch of kids in the hallway aiming at us.
