Sam's POV

This was the third store we had raided. The last two had fuck all. Thankfully this one looked hardly touched. I was currently stuffing bottles of water into my bag and Riley was looking out of the window.

"You alright?" I ask as I reach for a box of energy bars.

I glance up quickly and notice she's turned around to look at me. I sling my bag over my shoulder and walk over to her.

"Do you love her?" She asks looking at me directly in the eyes.

"I'm sorry?"

"Beth. Do you love her?"

"Yeah, of course I love her."

She sighs and walks past me and picks up some batteries.

"Why?" She asks as she carefully places them in her bag.

"She's an amazing person. She's beautiful inside and out." I smile at the thought of Beth.

"Did you think that about me?"

Why is she asking all these questions? I really don't want to go through this with her. If she thinks that she can have a second chance she's wrong. I love Beth and only Beth. Okay I admit I liked Ariana but I love Beth. I only have eyes for Beth.

"I did. Until you broke my heart."

Riley throws something across the store in anger, causing me to flinch.

"I said sorry so many times. I love you Sam. More than Beth ever will. I loved you first. You were mine first. Give me a second chance. Please!" She begs.

"What about Gavin? You forgotten about him?" I snap at her.

She looks down and she grabs my hands and I quickly pull them away. She looks up at me and wraps her arms around my neck, I push them off and she frowns.

"I know you still love me." She whispers.

My eyes go wide and I laugh.

"No I don't!! I LOVE BETH GREENE!! Why can't you understand that?!"

She bites her lip and then I feel stinging sensation on my cheek.

She had just slapped me.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I yell at her and throw my bag on the floor, and she does the same with hers.

I see her eyes filling up with tears and my mouth opens slightly in shock.

"Why..Why are you doing this Riley?" I ask her.

"I LOVE YOU!" She cries and I push her away gently, but she holds on to my wrist and pulls me close and our lips touch.

She smiles into the kiss and I pull away quickly, I push her roughly and she lands on the floor.

"Don't you fucking do that again. You hear me?! We will never be together." I snap at her.

I turn around and reach for my bag, but she grabs my ankle and I fall to the ground and groan in pain. I roll onto my back and she straddles me with a smirk.

"I always knew you liked it rough." She whispers and leans down to kiss me again but I punch her across the face and she gasps and clutches her face.

I try and push her off but she lands a punch on my lip and I instantly taste blood.

"You crazy bitch." I growl and roughly push her off and kick her in the stomach.

She clutches her stomach and I hunch over my hands on my knees and shake my head at her. I grab both our bags and hold hers out.

"Come on." I growl.

She slowly stands up and grabs her bag and slings it over her shoulder and I do the same.

We walk back the prison in silence. How could she do that to me? What if she tells Beth and Beth thinks I wanted to kiss her? Riley betrayed me. Twice now. I don't understand why...She has Gavin. Why does she want me all of sudden? Maybe she was using Gavin to try and make me jealous? Well it's not gonna work and it hasn't.

Why should I be jealous when I have Beth...She's everything Riley isn't and more. She's the one for me. Maybe one day I can call her my wife...I'm still young but I know Beth is mine. Forever.

By time we reach the prison it's dark...Usually there are candles or lanterns lit...But there isn't....

"Hello?" I call out.

Lanterns slowly turn on and I gasp.

Balloons are placed around the cell block.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone yells with a smile.

"Happy birthday." Rick smiles.

I gasp...It was my birthday...How did they know it was today? I feel so many emotions but Daryl quickly walks over and lifts my head up.

"What happend ta ya?" He asks.

I quickly glance over to Riley who looks away.

"We were jumped by two people around our age...Managed to keep our stuff though." I lie.

"They gonna be an issue?" Rick asks cocking an eyebrow.

"They're dead." Riley answers.

Rick nods his head and Beth walks over and gently takes my hand and kisses my cheek.

"We'll get you cleaned up and then you can open your gifts." She smiles.

Gifts?! It's the end of the world and they got me gifts?!

Best family ever.
