Twisted tale of Negan

Couple of Towns over

All day we played with Katherine, basically trying to keep our minds off of what's fixing to happen, four our sake.

We decided we wont tell Katherine, considering hee heart would be broken.

Negan played dolls, and even learned how to braid hair, not that it would matter within the next 24 hours he will leave us. He played hide and seek, and even dress up. All for Katherine, i thought it was cute how dedicated Negan was to Katherine, too bad she can't see that yet.

They got to the point to where they were chasing each other around like banshees.

Around and around the house they ran, Negan eventually got tired, he bent over and placed his hands on his knees and breaths out "hold on bug, I'm out of breath!"

I laugh at the sight of Negan all sweaty.

"Come on old man, chase the girl around!" i teased from the kitchen.

He shoots me a look and i quickly look back to the meal i was preparing for all of us. I was going to make sure Negan had a good meal before he left.. It gave me some sort of assurance that i needed to tell myself that he is going to be okay.

He walks in and grabs a bottle of water from the fridge and looks to me as he cracks it open "it's like she never tires out" he chugs the water.

I nod and continue making the meat.

Negan smiles at me and walks away. I don't know why he smiled.

He comes back with a bottle of wine.

"Where'd you find this?" i exclaim examining the label.

"It was in the r.v, figured I'd drink it for a special occasion."

I frown slightly and set the bottle on the counter "there's nothing special about abandoning me."

He furrows his eyebrows together.

I instantly feel like shit "sorry.. Get two glasses" i state tending to the corn.

He leaves.

Katherine runs into the kitchen and almost trips on thin air.

"Hey be careful! No running in the house!" i spat.

"But but dadd-"

"I don't care what daddy does! You listen to me and i said no running!" by now i was shouting.

Negan slowly appeared in the door frame.

I realized i got worked up for absolutely no reason.

I look to Katherine who is tearing up

I take a deep breath "Katherine I'm sorry" i said softly.

She narrowed her eyes at me "i hate you" she says lowly and storms off.

Negan cringes and looks to me i rolled my eyes in response.

"Found those glasses.." he says softly coming up from behind me.

"Great, so not only are you leaving me, but you're also leaving me with a daughter who hates me" i smiled Sarcastically.

Negan shakes his head and hands me the glass.

I shut off the stove and make my way to the couch with Negan on my tale.

We sit and i break the silence "where are you even going?"

He shrugs "Not very far.. Maybe a couple towns over."

"For how long?"

He sips on his wine
