Why Me?

~Days 1 & 3~

~Dallas' POV~

I woke up today with an unfamiliar arm around my waist, I quickly pulled my knife flipping over straddling the guy's waist with my knife to his throat. When I looked into his eyes a smirk came to his face as he placed his hand on my waist. I quickly moved away from him pulling on Daryl's vest and walking out of the trailer, I looked around seeing Darren over with a few of the other women and he didn't look too happy. I shook my head watching until Negan came out, however even then my eyes never left Darren. Everything was fine until I saw one of the bitches hands come back and connect with the side of his face. In that moment I saw everything go red, I rushed over and all I wanted to do was kill.

"Hey bitch."

She looked up and started walking towards me.

"Who the fuck you calling a bitch?"

"Try the bitch who just put her hand on my boy, touch him again I'll cut it off."

She laughed.

"I'd like to see you try, you think you're such a bad ass just because you have the big man's pussy whipped."

With that I swung, landing her flat on her ass, she stood up pulling a knife and all I could do was smirk. Darren pulled his knife and I shook my head, pulling him beside me, she lunged and I dodged pushing Darren out of the way. He and I stood, as I looked at him he smirked, we knew what we had to do, she lunged at me once again and this time Darren came up behind her. He tripped her making her land on her face, I grabbed her by her hair putting my blade to her throat.

"You lay a hand on my son again and I'll carve your heart out, you got that you dick whipped bitch?"

She nodded her head and I let her go standing up straight, Darren looked at me with wide eyes, I knew that for the first time in his life he was afraid of me. I looked around before looking at Negan seeing him with his signature smirk plastered on his face.

"That goes for all of you, any of you think you're big or bad enough to kill me you better try your damnedest because anyone that touches my son will lose their heart."

They all looked at Negan hoping that he'd say something to put me in my place, he looked at me and shook his head.

"You heard her, the boy's off limits, stay away or she takes your heart."

I looked at Darren and he shook his head running off, I shook my head going after him, I found him sitting on the ground behind a tree. I sighed sitting next to him, he looked up before shaking his head and looking at the woods ahead of us.

"I thought Dixons didn't show weakness."

"I'm not showing weakness, I came here and I see you, you're not my mom, my mom has a heart you're not her. I never thought that I'd say this, but I want to go home to dad, I want to be with him."

I sighed and in that moment my heart broke but I knew it was for the best, I nodded my head.

"You have six more days, then we head back to Alexandria."

He sighed and I knew that I had lost him forever.

"I love you Darren, and I know you're smart enough to know what I was doing, I brought you with me so I could teach you that I can be just as hard and cruel as your dad may seem at times. You built this vision of me, and for years I loved it, I loved how you saw me, until I saw how it affected your relationship with your dad. He left all those years ago because he was afraid of hurting us, we are his one weakness, he lost me, and all he wanted was you, well now he's lost us both. He's alone, and I made a promise to myself a long time ago that he'd never be alone again, I've broken that promise. When this is over you're going back to Alexandria and you are going to view your dad how you viewed me since the day you were born. He needs you, and while I need you as well, right now he doesn't have anyone, I need you to promise that when you get home you'll be there for him, and help him feel not so alone anymore alright?"
