The Dixons And Me - The Walking Dead FanFiction

Chapter Ninety Five

Beth stared into space, lost in her thoughts. All she could think about was Sam, so many bad thoughts. Sam not coming back to her. When she thought about Sam dead she would think about the good times. Their first kiss. Their first time making love. How she felt safe in Sam's arms. She would never feel like that again.

Someone sat next to her, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Sam will be okay. She has Daryl and Ari looking after her." Ellie says as she rubs Ava's back gently.

"She shouldn't have gone. You didn't see her. The men...They hurt her." Beth says her eyes on Ava.

"Hurt her?"

"They kicked her. Punched her. Nearly shot her...Shot us..."

"Sam's already been shot...A fuck ton of times...And she's been beaten up before. She's tough. She'll be fine."

Beth locks eyes with Ellie. Her eyes burn with anger.

"NO! WHAT IF THIS TIME WAS THE LAST SHE COULD TAKE?! WHAT IF HER INJURIES AREN'T JUST ON THE OUTSIDE! WHAT IF SHE'S HURT INSIDE TOO?! IT COULD KILL HER!" Beth yells standing up.

Rick walks over and lays a hand on Beth's shoulder.

"Calm down. She'll be fine." He says gently.

Beth sighs heavily and pushes Rick away and walks over to Maggie and sits herself down.

"Sam wouldn't want you to be like this. You need to calm down."

"I'm sorry...It's just...Back at the prison when she had the flu...And when The Governor came and...Killed Daddy...I...I thought I would never see Sam again. I've just got her back, I don't wanna lose her again." Beth cries.

Maggie wraps an arm around Beth and pulls her close into a tight hug. Glenn wraps his arms around the both of them and holds them. Maggie begins to cry too. The thought of her sister hurting breaks her heart.

"We're running low on food." Rick tells Michonne.

"I can help with that." Gabriel says walking over.

Gabriel begins to explain where there's some food and Rick gathers a group consisting of himself, Michonne, Sasha, Bob, Tyreese, Merle and Glenn.

Carol, Lisa and Lauren are on watch outside waiting for Sam, Ari and Daryl to return with Sophia.

Ava begins to cry and Ellie tries to calm her down but nothing is working.

"You miss your Daddy don't you? I miss him too." Ellie says trying not to cry.

"You want me to take her?" Rosita asks and Ellie nods her head.

Rosita gently takes Ava from Ellie's arms and gently rocks her. She stops crying and gurgles a little.

"You need to rest Ellie." Tara says handing her a blanket.

Ellie takes the blanket from her and lays down on one of the benches. She closes her eyes and it doesn't take long for her to fall asleep.

Abraham watches Rosita as she talks to Ava. He has a small smile on his face.

"We won't be long." Rick announces as him and the group he's taking walks out of the church.

Maggie gently moves Beth only to see she's fallen asleep. She lays her down slowly and moves some hair out of her face and presses her lips against her forhead.

"Sam will come back. I promise." Maggie whispers before walking away to help Rosita with the baby.

Inside Beth's mind she's dreaming of Sam. Dreaming of the day when she comes back and everything will be fine. Without Sam nothing is fine but when she's with Sam everything is fine and she feels safe.

A single tears escapes her eye.

"I miss you." She whispers.
