Negan and Stella had been sat in silence for most of the journey. The girl didn't want to speak to the man, she was pissed at him for taking her away from her family.
"You know, I am sorry for what I did," Negan said, breaking the silence between them. "But it had to happen."
"What bit are you talking about? Killing two men, and taking Daryl or stealing me away from my family." The girl hissed angrily.
"Both. They both had to happen." Negan replied shortly, eyes glancing over to her before facing forwards as he drove.
Stella scoffed, looking straight ahead, not wanting to meet his gaze. "Did it? Did it really?"
"Yes," Negan replied as he nodded his head once. "I had to make an example."
"By killing the husband of a pregnant woman and another man?" The Grimes girl snapped, turning her glare on Negan. "Because that's what you did, you ignorant fuck. The second man that you beat to death was the husband of a pregnant woman. That's why we were out there that night. We were trying to get her help, so congratulations. You just killed a woman and her baby, well done, I hope you're happy."
"I didn't know." Negan admitted, Stella wasn't sure if he sounded genuinely sorry or not.
"Because you didn't bother to ask, you didn't really give at shit in the first place." Stella shot back. "But it doesn't matter now, does it? My friend is dead because of you, my other best friend has been taken away like an animal, and it looks like I'm going to be stuck with you. What the hell are you going to do with me, anyway?"
"With you?" Negan repeated. "Nothing. You're just my insurance in case your father tries anything stupid. What happens to you really rests in his hands, because if he tries anything, well... you've seen what happens to people that test me."
"You beat them to death," Stella growled. "You're a monster."
"I'm not a monster, sweetheart," Negan said. "T'm just a guy who's trying to survive like everyone else."
She turned away and looked out of the window and she heard Negan sigh from beside her. "Listen I ain't gonna to touch you, I'm not hurting anyone."
"No, you just bash people's heads in and mock them as they die," Stella whisperer out, swallowing hard to fight off the lump in her throat. "A-And you make..... you make their family w-watch."
"Are you alright?" Negan asked, noticing the tremble in the girls voice.
"Fuck you," She replied harshly. "You're a monster. You're nothing but a bully who takes what he wants because he thinks he can. What are you going to do to Daryl?"
