Why Me?

~Alexandria, Trust~

~Dallas' POV~

"Negan."

I sighed looking at Daryl as he placed his hand on my shoulder making me look at him, he looked at Negan.

"Would ya give my family and I a moment to talk about this?"

He gave me a confused look before nodding his head, I looked at my little one taking his hand before looking at Carl and nodding towards the tree. He nodded his head following Daryl, Darren and I away from Negan, and I sighed.

"Daryl, we need this, Darren and Judith need this, they've never really been safe, I mean sure there was the prison, but that was a long time ago. Darren has never really been safe, not for long, he needs this, we need this, please, I know it could be dangerous. However I don't think it could be much worse than staying out here, think about it Daryl, please, for Darren and Judith."

He sighed roughly running his hands through his hair before shaking his head.

"He seems to like ya Dallas and I don't like it, I don't trust him."

"I don't either, but if he can put us in a safe community then I don't see why not."

He shook his head.

"Can you see if he'll give us a night to think it over?'

I nodded my head before going over to Negan letting out a small sigh.

"My family and I would like a night to figure this all out, would you be willing to give us that?"

"Yeah, we'll be right over on the road."

I nodded my head as he pulled his men out, I turned back to my family letting out a sigh shaking my head.

"He's giving us till morning, Carl what do you think?"

"I think it might be a good idea, Judith and Darren have never really been safe, I think it'll be good for them, plus if it doesn't work out we can always leave, come back to our old ways."

I looked at Daryl and he sighed, shaking his head.

"I don't like this."

"Dad."

We looked down at Darren to see him giving Daryl the Dixon glare.

"Listen to mom for once, you've always called the shots, now she's trying to call the shots to keep me safe. She just wants me to be able to be a kid without having to carry a knife or gun everywhere I go. I love you, you're my dad, but right now you need to stop and listen to mom for once, do the right thing for me."

"Darren, I've always done what I thought was right for you."

Darren shook his head and I knew that my redneck boy was about to go off.

"Cut the shit Dad, you've never thought about just me, you've always thought about us as a group. I get it, there's more than just me in the group, but I'm your son, Mom is your wife, Carl is the closest thing to a guy friend you have and Judith is the closest thing to a girlfriend I'm ever gonna have. So for once hear Mom out and stop being such a pain in her ass because the last thing we need is Mom being pissed."

I smirked, looking at Daryl.

"That's your son."

Daryl shook his head.

"Alright, Dallas go talk to Negan tell him we move tomorrow..."

I nodded my head as he looked at Darren.

"Little man ya better watch that mouth of yours, I've never hit ya in any way, I've always treated ya as an adult, just don't be gettin too big for your britches alright?"
