Chapter 58: Too much talking

The sanctuary finally had become quiet a couple hours later. No one had come to save her. Once she finally excepted it, Abby had decided to test the shower. She pushed the couch in front of the door so, no one could get in. She grabbed the shower handle making water shoot out. It wasn't her bathroom at Alexandria but, it would do. Her body ached as she started to remove her clothes. The two new battle wounds were carefully bandaged. She slowly removed them revealing the carefully stitched wounds. Dr. Carson must of done them, she assumed. Once the water was slightly warm she got in. Some pieces of hair fell to the floor of the shower as the water poured down on her. All the dried blood and fresh blood washed off her body as she stood still. She had no idea what was gonna happen. All she hoped for was that rick wasn't done. He always had a plan. All that had to be done now is wait, she knew that. The only soap she had was a bar of soap. Abby didn't care, she just carefully washed her body. The kind of warm water washed off all the soap off her body. She was just glad to get rid of all the blood. Carefully abby turned off the water and stepped out the shower. Her eyes landed on the small towel hanging next to the shower. It wasn't crazy big but, it'd do. She dried off her body before changing back into her clothes. Abby didn't know if she had any other clothes. A single gun shot caught her attention making her leave the bathroom. She pushed the couch back just in case. Her eyes stayed on the door as she dried her wet hair. A few minutes passed and nothing else. Abby sighed before sitting on the bed. All she wanted to do was cuddle up with theo. Probably watch a movie with carl and willow at the same time. God, abby missed them. Every time she'd think about them she'd get sick. Her head pounded as tears filled her eyes. It was all her fault. If she had listened to rick and them, she wouldn't be in this mess. A mess where she has to go on a date with negan. The man who killed her brother in law, and Abraham. Who kidnapped the man who loves her like a daughter. Tried to get rick to cut the hand of the boy she loves and tried to kill him. Who turned her daughters best friend against their group. She had no idea what to do, Abby hated it. If it was up to her, Alexandria, hilltop and the kingdom would have killed everyone. She believed none of the saviors should be spared. They were all low life's and thieves to her. All they do was steal from hard working survivors. What felt that hours went by until the door started to unlock. Abby quickly stood up and backed up as far as she could. A man opened the door revealing a dark haired woman. She walked in and the man closed and locked the door. In her hands were a dress and a book bag. She also wore a black dress and black heels. "Um hi," She says awkwardly. She coughed slightly as abby just looked at her. "I'm Sage, negan wanted to me come get you ready." Sage says putting all her stuff on the bed. Abby's eyes fell on the dress. It was black, spaghetti strapped, with no back and was clearly tight. "Negan picked it out, he picks out all our clothes." Her eyes looked back up at sage. She squinted slightly. "So, he's not dead." Abby asked making sages eyes widened. Abby's eyes didn't leave sages. "Um, no. He's still here." Sage says messing with the ring on her finger. Abby didn't say anything. "He gave me specific instructions on what to do so." Sage says grabbing a chair that sat in the corner. "Sit." Abby looked at sage then back at the chair. "Just please," Sage says almost begging. "He'll take it out on me if you don't look like how he wants." Abby could tell sage wasn't married to him on purpose. All she did was nod before sitting down. Sage had let out the breath she was holding in. "Thank you." She says almost whispering as she starts touching abby's hair. "Now before the end I taught cosmetology so, don't worry. You're in good hands." Sage says with a small chuckle. Abby didn't say anything, she just wanted all this to be over. Sage could tell she was going through it. Most of the women who had to marry negan, had bad problems. Sage was used to it. "I'm gonna fix your hair and then we'll do your makeup." Abby just nodded and pulled her knees to her chest.

       Sage took a deep breath before grabbing all her things. The room stayed quiet, the only sound was the scissors cutting. Sage wanted to at least give her a good haircut, for herself. Once she finished she started curling abby's short hair. Sage even pulled half of it back into a ponytail with a black bow. "So, how old are you?" Sage asked trying to start some sort of conversation. She grabbed her makeup bag before standing in front of abby with a smile. "I'm around sixteen, I'll turn seventeen in the winter." Abby says as sages smile falls. Sages stomach turned at negans choose of a new wife. "I'm sorry." Sage says lifting abbys face up. Abby looked at her strangely. "No one your age should go through this." Abby just shrugged not wanting to talk. Sage clearly got the hint and just started her makeup. She didn't put a lot on on abby. Only mascara, an eyeliner wing, concealer, blush and some red lipstick. "Do you wanna see yourself before you get dressed?" Sage asked her as she held a small mirror. She was hoping to at least make her feel pretty. "No thanks." Abby says before standing up. "I'll go change." She grabs the dress before heading into the bathroom. Once she closed the door abby finally looked at herself in the mirror. She really didn't look like herself. The makeup sage had put on her, made her look at least twenty years old. "You ok in there?" Sage says knocking on the door. Abby didn't realize how long she was looking at herself. "Yeah." She says back before starting to actually change. Abby looked back in the mirror once she was done. Her eyes fell on her back. All her scars plus, her new one were visible. Tears filled her eyes. She knew negan was gonna ask her, she didn't wanna relive all that pain. Abby took a deep breath before walking out. Sages eyes widened at the young girl. She could tell she was starting to get upset. "You look beautiful! Wanna do a spin for me?" Sage asked with a smile, hoping to make her feel better. Abby spun around slowly as she wiped her eyes carefully. Sages eyes fell on her back and the backs of her arms. Her stomach turned again at the huge scars. She quickly pretended nothing was wrong. "Wow, you look very beautiful." Sage says again with a smile. Abby was glad she didn't mention anything about her scars. It would have made this much more difficult. "Now I got you some small platforms or heels? Which ones would you like?" She says pulling two pairs of shoes out of her bag. The platforms were just black sandals only an inch tall and, the heels looked like sages. Abby grabs the platform and sits on the bed. She slowly slips them on. They were a little big but, nothing crazy. "You almost done in there sage?" The man asked banging on the door. "Yes, i'm grabbing my stuff." Sage says quickly grabbing her things. "My only advice is, don't get him angry." She says as the man opens the door. Abby just nodded watching sage grab her things. "Let's go." He says grabbing sage once she's done. Sage mouthed bye before the man closed the door leaving abby alone. "People talk too much." Abby whispers sitting on the bed. Only a few minutes later there was a knock on the door. "Can I come in?" The familiar voice of negan echoed through the room. "I'm here for our date!" Abbys heart just started racing. This was gonna be awful, and she couldn't do anything about it.
