i know you, don't i? || NEGAN FANFICTION

Chapter 25

The next day I woke up and as I sat with Maggie at the breakfast table I started to panic. "I'm scared he'll find me...or you. He doesn't know you're still alive Maggie. We told him you died." I explained to Maggie. She nodded and laid her hand on my shoulder. "Hey, calm down. He won't find us. I told Sasha to take care of an emergency exit, she built one and if Negan comes and steals our stuff, we're gonna escape." she said and I nodded.

"Okay...I hope this will work like you said." I said. "It will, believe me" she assured me.

It was afternoon when someone called Kal who was guard at the gate, yelled, that trucks are pulling up. "HE'S COMING!" he yelled and I looked at Maggie. "We're gonna be fine. Grab your knife and gun! GO!" she yelled at me and I started running to our trailer to grab my stuff.

As I ran out I already saw the black truck and Negan jumping out of it. Before I could go any further Maggie stopped me and we turned around to run to the emergency exit.

"Alright. Let's go and grab our stuff!" I heard the familiar voice yelling in the distance.

"We need to hurry up. Go, I'll follow you in a second." Maggie said as I entered the exit. "I won't go without you!" I said and she hushed me. "I will follow you. Give me 2 minutes." she whispered but I shook my head. "I won't go without you. If you need anything, I'll follow you, I don't care if Negan sees me." I said and stepped out of the exit. Maggie rolled her eyes but cracked a smiled as she started to run in the direction she needed to. We saw many Saviors running around, but they didn't see us.

As we reached the black truck Negan sat in, we looked around to check if someone was close to it, but there was no one. As we started running again, I fell to the ground but Maggie didn't see me and was already further away as I felt a hand around my wrist and a second hand over my mouth to keep me quiet.

"Hello doll." I heard the raspy deep voice and I started to panic. One of Negan's arm was around my waist, the other was over my mouth. Maggie turned around and saw me and was about to save me, but I shook my head, because Negan still thought she is dead. She raised an eyebrow and nodded once to check if I am okay. I nodded lightly and made a small hand move to her to run away. She did and I felt Negan pulling me up to my feet. We were really close to the gates and they were closed so Negan yelled at Kal. "Open the fucking gates!" he said and Kal did as he was told to.

I'm not sure if Negan is hella mad at me or kind of relaxed that I'm not dead. But his grasp on my waist got tighter as I started to get out.

I have no idea what Negan's mission was with getting me out of there, but I am okay with it. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. Why? Because I felt uncomfortably comfortable in his arms. I'm still not sure about my feelings and it definitely doesn't help me being in his arms.

"Let me go" I spoke in his hands and he hushed me. As we were outside the gates we stepped in the woods that were around the Hilltop. He let go of my waist and my mouth but held me by my wrists so I won't run away. "God I won't run away. Let go." I told him and I didn't lie. I couldn't even survive because I left my backpack at the emergency exit.

Negans right eyebrow perked up and I rolled my eyes. "I promise." I said. He let go of me and looked around to see if someone was there. Then happened the most unexpected thing ever. He came closer to me and hugged me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I was frozen to the ground because I didn't know what to do. It was too weird to hug him back. I placed my palm on his chest and pushed him back. Did he get more muscles? Damn he's still hot. NO stop Ava, he killed your friends. But I'm not sure if I still love him.

Okay doesn't matter now.

"What was that?" I asked him really confused. "Why? Am I not allowed to hug you anymore?" he asked me with a smirk. "Of course you can, but wha-" I said but stopped as soon as I realized what I said. I slapped my palm on my forehead and shook my head. "I make you nervous right?" he cracked a smile. Don't say yes Ava. Say no. Say no. "Yeah. Kinda" I told him and he chuckled. "Oh god." I said to myself ashamed. "Hey it's okay. I know what I do to you." he said but now I was cometely serious again. "What you do to me? Wait. Are you flirting with me? Now? In the damn woods?" I asked him with raised eyebrows, but couldn't hide a light smile. "Maybe?" he said and stepped closer to me.
