Dead or alive, I love you

8.13 do not send us astray

Genny sits in the schoolbus and looks at Daryl as he drives into hilltop. She rides it in front of the saviors and flips her middle finger to Simon and Dwight. "Fuck you, Simon!" She yells as shooting starts and Daryl pulls her out of the bus.

"Lets go," he says.

They both start shooting until an arrow flies into her upper leg and she lets out a scream. "Motherfucker!" She yells as she opens fire to where it came from while Daryl and Michonne drag her away.

"I'm gonna fucking kill him!" She shouts as they put her in the house.

She listens to the gunfire and then the saviors retreating. She grabs her gun and gets up before breaking off the arrow. She goes outside after Simon and Dwight until Jesus grabs her.

"Let me go! I need to kill Negan!" She yells as he pulls her away.

"No, think about your baby!" He yells over her.

"Screw the baby! They killed my brother!" She yells hitting his arms.

Daryl grabs her and pulls her into the house. "Enough!" He yells grabbing her upper arms as she tries to run past him.

She looks at him before her angry face turns into a crying face. He pulls her into a hug holding her as she starts sobbing. He knew she was already heartbroken by Glenn's death but losing Carl has clearly driven her off the edge.

The next day Genny sits on the steps in front of the house. She looks at Jesus who sighs sitting next her. "You okay?" He asks.

"Leave me alone," she says getting up with a groan.

He sighs as she walks into the house with a limp. That night she lays in her bed while Daryl is showering. Caisy sits on her sleeping bag as she braids her hair.

Daryl walks into the room and looks at Genny who has her back turned to him. He sighs laying down behind her.

Later that night as everybody in the house is sleeping, walkers start killing people. Genny, Daryl and Caisy run around killing them.

After a while they have finished and Genny goes back to her bedroom. She is on the bed playing with Judith until the group walks in except for Daryl.

"Everything okay?" She asks as Michonne takes Judith away from her.

"It seems like they laced their weapons with walker blood," Rick sighs as Maggie sits next her.

She looks at her family before looking down. "Okay," she breaths out before getting up and grabbing her stuff.

"Genny," Rick starts but she shakes her head hitting his hand away that he tries to put on her shoulder.

"I''m gonna go see Daryl," she says walking out to see him going on a rampage and killing all the walkers in hilltop with just his knives. 

She throws a knife in a walker that sneaks up on him and he shoots around to look at her. "Get back inside! Now!" He yells at her as she stabs a walker.

"And leave you out here? Fuck that!" She says wiping blood off her face.

He grabs her arms and drags her up the stairs until she stops him. "Im not dying Daryl. I don't have a fever or anything. You're not gonna lose us," she says putting her hands on his face.

He closes his eyes before letting out a sob as his head falls on hers. "You're not losing me," she says softly with tears in her eyes.

She already knew that he was broken because of what Negan did to him. But she hadn't seen him this heartbroken since Beth died. "I want to call the baby Beth," she whispers the next morning as they're sat on the steps.

He stays quiet looking at his hands. She gets up, kisses his head and then goes inside.
