You used to tell yourself you didn't need them to survive, but that was dead wrong, you needed Carl's smile on the rare chance you saw it, you loved the way Rick pinched the bridge of his nose when he got frustrated, you missed the girl time you Maggie and Michonne would have on the rare occasion you all went on runs together. You especially missed the warmth of your husband when he would wrap his arms around you.

You told yourself you didn't need them that they were dead and the responsibility of their lives was off your shoulder, it made it easier to survive to tell yourself they were dead.

Your world came crashing down as you stared your husband in the eye as you stood next to Negan, he noticed the scared look that adorned your face, how lifeless your eyes looked he also saw the slight panic when Negan pointed that bat at him, and the sigh of relief you let out as Negan moved on. All small things no one else would have picked up, but he knew you like the back of his hand.

"Well shit, you all look like you've seen a fucking ghost, come here pea" you hated that nickname, and Negan just loved how it riled you up. The first night you were at the sanctuary you and him got into a fight as a result you picked up a hand full of peas off your plate and threw it at him. The name stuck, although it was an innocent pet name everyone knew not to mess with you, you were his right hand man and you had no problem enforcing the rules. You had their respect but not by them fearing you, no you took the time to be nice to the to get to know them. Everyone at his command was loyal to you and would kill those who weren't if you so much as asked.

"Not him" you grabbed his arm just as the blood-coated bat was about to hit Glenn's face "ex-fucking-cuse me" Negans stare bore into your eyes "he saved me, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here with you right now, I owe him my life" you briefly thought back the prison when he pulled those walkers off you and gave you a clear path to run.

Negan bit his lip he didn't like that you stopped him but he knew how you were with those life depts; they saved you, and you saved them simply. One of the things he admired about you "fine, your lucky I have a soft spot for my sweet pea here" you never slept with Negan you'd die before you let that man's naked body anywhere near you but they didn't know that he didn't know that.

Your husband sheathed when he heard Negan call you his, He dragged the barbed wire bat across Glenn's face "come on Rick the prick were going for a ride, Dwighty boy, take Daryl to the truck, he's mine now" Negan waited for Ricks response you just hoped Negan didn't catch you staring at Daryl, it would be bad for him if he did "team red, stay here the rest go home, sweet pea you're in charge" Negan sent a wink your way as he shoved Rick into the car, the others already piled into the cars and on their way out. You waited a few hours avoiding the piercing gaze from Carl, "earmuffs" they all turned away leaving the rest of the group confused.

Kneeling in front of Glenn you pushed a small piece of paper down the collar of his shirt "I'm sorry" you gently whispered in his ear, blood ran down his neck and soaked into his shirt, it was going to leave a scar, and a bad one. if it wasn't for his heaving breaths he might not have felt the paper slide down and settle at the waist like of his pants, his shirt was tucked into his pants so it wasn't going anywhere.

Finally, you looked to Carl "looks badass" before he could respond you whistled signaling to everyone they could turn around "what the hell was that" you cocked an eyebrow at Simon "you know the rules" you never really smoked before the world ended, even when Darlys mouth tasted of them. You assumed picking them up was your way of still thinking of him

"Can't wait to see Negan's face when he finds out his sweet pea is a traitor" everyone knew you hated the name and he used it to piss you off "do that and he'll know your fucking frankly any chance you get, hell I'll even lead him to walk in on you two" Carl watched as you slowly let the trail of smoke out of your smirk "you know?"

"I have eyes and ears everywhere Simon, Negan isn't the one you need to worry about, he's just my weapon that I can make think the one he killed was his idea, and now that you've threatened my family." you paused stomping out the butt of the cigarette "I'm going to rip you all to shreds" you growled out.
