Johnathan stood on the wall, watching as vehicles pulled up to the gates. He climbed down, watching as Negans shadow appeared on the gate. "Dun-dun-dun dun." Negan sang before knocking on the gate with Lucille. "Little pig, little pig, let me in!"
Spencer, Rosita, and Eugene made no move to open the gate, so Johnathan sighed, moving forward and unlatching the gate before pulling it open. "Well?" Negan asked Johnathan.
Johnathan opened his mouth to reply but Spencer came up beside him. "Um, who are you?" Spencer questioned.
"Oh, you better be jokin'." Negan spoke. "Negan." He held up the bat. "Lucille. I know I had to make a pretty strong first impression." Negan looked at Johnathan. "Come on, open the gate for your old pal." He then diverted his attention to someone behind Johnathan. "Well, hello, there. Do not make me have to ask John to open this gate again."
"I got it." Johnathan spoke, moving forward and undoing the gate, pushing it open.
"You said a week. You're early." Rick stated.
"I missed John." Negan spoke simply. "And you, I guess." A walker started growling and Negan turned to it before turning back around. "Oh, Rick, come on out here. And Johnathan you go home, anyone knocks on your door tell them to fuck off."
"Yeah, ok." Johnathan spoke, turning on his heel and making his way to Glenn and Maggie's house. He hurried around, gathering things that belonged to Glenn before hurrying across the street to his house where he dropped everything on the couch.
Beth sent him a questioning look which turned into a look of sympathy as Johnathan held Glenn's hat, sniffling before he put it down. "John-" Beth started.
"Im fine." Johnathan stated simply. Everyone had been worrying about him since the lineup, and it was really starting to piss him off. He appreciated that he had people that loved him enough to worry about him, but it was getting annoying. "Look, if anyone knocks on the door, tell them to talk to Negan, and if they ignore you, shoot them." And then Johnathan walked out, slamming the door as he did.
Johnathan walked down the street, seeing Negan watch his tape from when they first arrived to Alexandria. "Yea, we're kinda like a family i guess. Glenn is my best friend, like my brother, i've never really had one of those before." Johnathan heard the gruff and harsh voice that had once belonged to him. He shook his head with a scoff and kept walking.
There was a gunshot, and glass shattering and Johnathan turned, going to the infirmary, seeing Carl holding two men at gunpoint. Johnathan snatched the gun from Carl. "Why do you keep siding with them?" Carl asked harshly.
"I'm not! I know Negan! He was basically my dad at one point. And I'm trying to keep him from killing all of you, because he won't lay a finger on me or Beth." Johnathan whisper-shouted, Carl shook his head at Johnathan.
"You're siding with them." Carl repeted. "You may not realize it yet, but I know you."
"No, Carl, you don't know me. What my life was like before all of this. Y'know, when Jude was born you asked me why she looked like me. My dad and Shane were twins, and guess what, after you and Lori thought your dad died, Lori and Shane had sex. Jude isn't your dads." Johnathan went to walk past Carl, but he bumped shoulders with Carl and then he turned around. "Fuck you. Fuck you for thinking that I would turn my back on you, or your dad, or any one in this town, for someone who took care of me in middle school and highschool." Johnathan scoffed before walking away.
Johnathan walked into his house, seeing two men standing there talking to Beth. "Get out of my house." Johnathan stated.
"We're here to take half of your shit." One of the men stated.
"Yeah, no your not." Johnathan spoke again, walking out and snatching Lucille from Rick, shoving past Negan who followed after him. "Get the fuck out of my house, or else I'll use the bat."
"Her name is Lucille." Negan told Johnathan.
"Yeah, I don't give a shit." Johnathan spoke, turning back to the men. "Get out of my house."
"Negan, you're just going to let him do whatever he wants?" One of the men questioned.
"Yes." Negan answered with a small chuckle.
"Oh come on the kids got a limp, what's he gonna do." The other man asked.
Johnathan moved forward, hitting him in the back of the knee with Lucille before grabbing him by the back of the shirt and shoving him out of the door. Johnathan turned to the other one. "Now get out of my house." The other man hurried out, and Johnathan passed Lucille back to Negan. "You too. Out."
"John, we need to talk." Negan tried.
"Not right now, okay?" Johnathan told him.
Negan passed him a walkie. "When you decide you want to talk." Negan went to walk out of the door, turning to look at him one last time. "Bye, kid." And then he walked out.
Johnathan turned to Beth, who just shook her head before going upstairs. Johnathan sighed, following after her. "You didn't have to do that." Beth told him.
"Everything I do, I do to protect you. And Negan wasn't helping, he found it amusing. So I'm sorry if I scared you, but I did it to protect you." Johnathan told her.
Beth moved forward, tightly wrapping her arms around Johnathan. Johnathan wrapped his arms around Beth, one of his hands resting on her stomach.
