Don't Let Me Die (Sequal to She's Alive)

Bust

Lexa POV
I eat my alone in my room. I don't remember those others outside in the cell block. Carl said I could trust them, but I just don't know how much. They could be lying to me, but Carl wouldn't lie, would he?

No. I know him, he's no liar.

If only I could remember. If only.

Beth POV
"Look Beth, she'll come around eventually. You just have to let whatever happens ." Maggie says, then walks away. She just doesn't understand.

I walk away with Judith in my arms, getting her ready for bed. I lay the child down in her crib, smiling at her sleeping form. She'll be okay. Everyone will.

I quietly make my way to my cell, seeing Lexa on the way. She just doesn't remember, that's all. She'll remember soon, I hope.

As I watch her walk away, I see purple mark on her neck. My jaw drops, and as I try to compose myself, Daryl walks over.

"You alright?" He asks. He looks me in the eye. "Beth?"

I pull him into my cell, closing the curtain.

"How can she not remember me?" I ask in a hushed whisper.

"I don' know. I ain't a doctor." He says, leaning himself against the wall.

"Well somethin' is goin' on. 'Cause she seems to remember Carl pretty well." I say, giving him a look.

"What're you tryin' ta say?" He asks.

"You know what I'm sayin'." I respond. He pushes himself off the wall and leaves my cell in an angry manner. I sigh to myself.

Great.

Daryl POV
I go into Carl's cell, seein' the boy sittin' there as if he didn't get laid.

"You wanna tell me what you've been doin' with Lexa." I say, tryin' not to alarm anyone outside.

"What?" He asks, looking up at me. The comic in his hands hits the bed sheets. There's my proof.

"You and Lexa in here doin' something?" I ask, pointin' my finger at him. "You tell me or I tell yer dad."

"You're blackmailing me?" He asks.

"Call it whatever you want, bottom line; dead." I say, taking a step forward.

"Fine, we did do something, not that I'm telling you." He says.

Lexa walks in behind me, looking at us.

"Everything okay?" She asks.

"You just it safe." I say, walking out.

Carl POV
I look at Lexa, sighing.

"I'm sorry." She says, sitting beside me. "if I would've known he would freak like that-"

I cut her off by kissing her. I really don't care about Daryl. He's just a little intimidating.

"Relax, Lex, we're fine." I say, smiling at her. She presses her lips to mine again.

"If you say so." She says, laying . "Goodnight Carl."

"Goodnight Lexa." I say, laying down beside her. "I love you."

She doesn't back, she kisses my cheek and closes her eyes.

I love you Alexa.
