Destruction ||| Glenn Rhee (BEING REWRITTEN TO OC)

Chapter 91) Coward

___

Are you deranged like me?

Are you strange like me?

Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?

Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?

Pointing fingers 'cause you'll never take the blame like me?

___

"Oh my god. Oh my god." Y/N whispers to herself.

All around them are walkers.

Nicholas screams out to Noah and Y/N. "Maybe we can shoot our way out!"

"We don't have any ammo!" Noah shouts back.

"We've gotta do something! We're gonna die in here." Nicholas screams.

Y/N feels a weight on her chest. She can't breathe. "There has to be another way. There has to be a way."

In the distance, a horn can be heard. Eugene is in the van. He's honking the horn trying to draw the walkers away. Some take the bait.

Glenn smiles slightly in relief. "Okay, I need you three to hold the doors steady. I'm gonna break the glass. We get out, you push out."

Nicholas looks terrified. He's breathing heavily.

Y/N and Noah glance at each other. He goes to speak.

"If we don't make it-"

She shushes him. "Shut up. We are making it out of here."

"Y/N, listen to me! If we don't make it, I want to say thank you. You and Glenn... you guys made me feel important. Made me feel loved."

She looks at him, a tear dripping from her eye. "Noah, we are making it. Okay?"

He nods but doesn't look convinced.

Glenn hits his gun against the glass. In doing so, the door starts moving and the gap between Nicholas and the walkers gets bigger.

"No! No, stop! It's not safe!"

"This is the only way!" Glenn says, glancing at his family on the other side of the revolving door.

"No, it's not gonna break." Nicholas says.

"It will. We can hold it!" Y/N tells him.

Glenn goes to hit the glass again but Nicholas shoves past him, trying to squeeze out the front of the doors toward the van.

"Hey! Hey!" Noah shouts. Now the gap is forming on his and Y/N's side.

Glenn tries grabbing Nicholas. Everyone is screaming at him.

A walker suddenly grabs Y/N's arm. She screams. Noah grabs her by the torso and tries pulling her away from the gap.

She can't reach her sword. She looks at him. He has tears in his eyes.

Nicholas squeezes out completely, running away from the warehouse.

Glenn slams his fists against the glass, watching as walkers try to grab at his pregnant wife.

Her heart pounds in her chest. She doesn't hear the snarls anymore. She doesn't hear the screaming.

She shuts her eyes tightly, when suddenly she feels something shove past her.

She opens her eyes and what she sees is horrifying.

Noah threw himself at the walkers, instead of letting her get taken.

"Noah!!!" She screams as she tries to grab him.

He holds onto her arms, briefly. "I love you guys."

She screams as he lets go, getting dragged backward into the group of walkers on the other side.

The gap shuts again and she has to watch as Noah's body gets pressed against the glass. He makes eye contact with her for a brief second before he starts to yell in agony as the walkers dig their teeth into him.

His blood splatters against the glass. Y/N screams so loud that her hearing goes completely muffled in her left ear. Tears blind her vision as she collapses to the floor inside her section of the door.

She can hear Glenn scream. She can't move.

Noah, a boy who she adored, who she cared for like he was her own son, sacrificed himself to protect her and her unborn baby.

All because of Nicholas. A fucking coward.

Anger fills her veins. She stands up. Noah's screams stop. She can't bring herself to look at what's left of him.

Instead, Glenn breaks the glass to his section, getting out. He helps her open the door.

Without even looking at him, she storms over to the parked van where Nicholas has just shoved Eugene to the ground.

All she sees is red. She yanks Nicholas out of the drivers seat, throwing him to the concrete.

Before he can get up, she kneels on top of him, punching him in the face as hard as she can. She grabs him by his shirt collar and slams him back down.

She punches him again. And again. "You son of a bitch!"

Her voice doesn't even sound like herself anymore. She can hear Eugene and Glenn shouting but she doesn't stop punching.

Her knuckles start to ache. His face is swollen and bloody. She keeps hitting him.

He tries to mutter out a sorry and she spits in his face. "Don't tell me that! Don't you EVER tell me that! Noah is dead because of you!"

She reaches for her knife. Glenn grabs her arm. "Y/N-"

She yanks away, taking her knife and slamming it into Nicholas's head.

She freezes. She looks down at her hands. Her knuckles are split open. Her hands are covered in his blood. She starts to shake.

Glenn pulls her off of the now dead Nicholas. She doesn't even feel the tears as they slide down her face in quick, hot drops.

He pulls her in tightly as she sobs. He is crying too.

Eugene sniffles off to the side.

Noah is dead. Their Noah.
