Roses (Glenn Rhee x reader)

15| The Deal Stands

(Okay guys I mixed up the names of the inmates and if you looked on chapt 13 it literally gives you the rundown, a wonderful and nice perosn corrected me and it all made sense. Sorry for the mix up)

Y/n POV

I followed Rick and the others. They were walking up to the hill where Axel and Oscar were. I hurried up and I made it up to them so I could hear them.

"That's close enough" I heard Rick say as I then stood up beside Rick. I avoided the eye contact that was tough for me to give. "We had an agreement" Rick told them.

"Please, mister. We know that. We made a deal. But you gotta understand... we can't live in that place another minute. You follow me? All those bodies...people we knew. Blood, brains everywhere. There's ghosts" Axel said, I kept my head down in fear of looking up.

"Why don't you move the bodies out?" Daryl asked them.

"You should be burning them" T-Dog told them.

"We tried. We did." Axel corrected himself.

"The fence is down on the far side of the prison. Every time we drag a body out, those things just line up. Dropping the body and just running back inside." Oscar said, you could hear the fear in his voice.

"Look, we had nothing to do with Thomas and Andrew. Nothing. You trying to prove a point? You proved it, bro. Well do whatever it takes to be part of your group. Just please, please...don't make us live in that place." Axel pleaded.

"Our deal is not negotiable" Rick said, I know what he had to do but he was acting a little heartless. "You either live in your cell block, or you leave."

"I told you this was a waste of time." Oscar said as he stared at Rick. "They ain't no different than the pricks who shit up our boys. You know how many friends corpses we had to drag out this week? Just threw em out, like. These were good guys. Good guys who had our backs against the really bad dudes in the joint, like Thomas and Andrew. We've all made mistakes to get in here, chief. And I'm not gonna pretend to be a saint, but believe me...we paid out due. Enough that we would rather hit that road than to go back into that shithole." Rick turned around and looked at us.

Even though we were siblings we had different opinions. They were fine and I trusted them but Daryl didn't. Daryl locked them up like it was nothing. Axel hung on to the fence and Oscar just looked disappointed.

"Are you guys serious? You want them living in a cell next to you?" Rick asked T-Dog and I. T-Dog and I both voiced our opinions about the inmates and how they weren't bad. "They'll just be waiting for a chance to grab our weapons. You want to go back to sleeping with one eye open?" Rick asked us, I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I never stopped. Bring them into the fold. If we send them off packing, we might as well execute them ourselves." T-Dog said. "Besides, Y/n knows that big guy" T-dog said. I felt everyone's else shift to me.

"How?" Glenn asked.

"When I was in nursing school, I traveled around a lot to hospitals. He had a daughter and she was little at the time and she always used to fake injuries just so she could come see me. Oscar ain't no killer okay. They're good people" I told them, I could tell the only one on my side was T-dog, it was like I was talking to a brick wall.

"I don't know. Axel seems a little unstable" Glenn said, I rolled my eyes at his comment.

"After all we've been through?" I heard Carol ask from behind us. (Okay so I rlly disliked Carol until like always. I've never really liked her bc I always thought she was Whiney and shit like that. And that's just my opinion) "we fought so hard for all this, what do they decide to take it?" Carol asked.

"It's a 2 to like, how many of us?" I asked as I took out my fingers to do the math.

"It's just been us for so long" Maggie said. "They're strangers. I don't... it feels weird all of a sudden to have these other people around." Maggie said.

"11, 12 counting Loris baby" I said with a smile on my face. No one was really paying me any attention at all.

"You took us in" T-Dog said, I nodded along, good point.
"Yeah, but you turned up with a shot boy in your arms. Didn't give us a choice." Maggie said, also good point,

"They can't even kill walkers" Glenn added.

"Well, they kinda were trapped in a cafeteria for all of this, so..." I said as I shrugged my shoulders.

"They're convicts. Bottom line." Carol said.

"Those two might actually have less blood on their hands than we do" I added as I thought about everything.

"I get guys like this. Hell, Y/n, and I grew up with them. They're degenerates but they ain't psychos. I could have been in there with them just as easy as I'm out here with you guys." Daryl said.

"So you're with me?" T-Dog asked

"Hello, no" Daryl said, I let out a small huff. "Let me take their chances out in the road. Just like we did" Daryl said, I rolled my eyes at him.

"Don't worry I'm with you" I said to T-dog as I put my arm around his shoulders.

"Thank you" He said as he nodded his head,

"When I was a rookie I arrested this kid. Nineteen years old wanted for stabbing his girlfriend. The kid blubbered like a baby during the interrogation, the trial. Suckered the jury. He was acquitted due to the insufficient evidence and then two weeks later, he shot another girl. We've been through to much. Our deal with them stands." Rick said as he walked away. The others followed him and Glenn left his hand out for me and I shook my head and sticked with T-Dog.

"Oscar isint a bad person. Axel is kinda weird. I get what you mean. If I was in charge I'd let them be with us. It's about doing the right thing" I said as I leaned on the car with T-Dog.

"I just don't get it" T-Dog said as he sat down on by the car.

"Neither do I" I mumbled.
