Lucille

Realization

Lucille escaped The Sanctuary and went back to Alexandria, but knowing Negan will come back to search for her she was scared to get her friends into trouble.

But they were ready to stand up for her.

- We're here for you! - said Rick - You belong to us and not him and we will protect you from him! Just do not worry, okay?

- Are you sure...? I mean...

- Stop questioning! - Michonne cut her off - You're our family! He's an awful person and an even worse husband and he doesn't deserve shit! He doesn't deserve you!

- I completely agree with Michonne - said Father Gabriel - You're with us and you will stay with us. Not me, nor any of us appreciates husbands and people like him.

Lucille smiled sadly.

She didn't really know what to say as she felt way too happy about everyone in Alexandria being on her side, ready to protect her from Negan.

During this time Negan was freaking up back in his place, yelling at every savior that could possibly be responsible for the disappearance of Lucille, not calming down for one moment.

- Boss, why don't we go to Alexandria? - Dwight suggested.

- Why the fuck should I even fucking go there?! - Negan snapped.

- Lucille probably went back there.

Negan stopped from freaking out then...

- You're a fucking genius, D! Fucking thank you!

He got a team of saviors together and headed off to Alexandria with the feels mixed with anger, frustration and actual worry.

He was angry because she left, but he also wanted to make sure she was there and was okay.

----- TIME SKIP -----

The frustration was obvious to everyone once Negan arrived and even without speaking up Rick decided to raise his anger more:

- If you're looking for Lucille she's resting.

- You have some fucking balls to speak about her without my fucking permission - Negan hissed.

- Calm down, I just want to help...

- Where is she?

- In her house.

- With that pussy boy?

- Yes, with Daniel, but...

- I DON'T CARE - Negan said loudly as he made his way towards Lucille's house.

While heading towards the house Lucille was already getting ready to face him and send him off from her.

- Are you sure you can do it? - Dan asked her while watching her dress up, looking pretty uneasy.

- I have to do it. He'll come for me - she replied.

- I'm here too, you know...

Lucille went up to his and kissed his cheek.

- I know... Thank you for still supporting me... Even after all that I've... told you...

- Of course - he smiled - I can't just leave you by yourself.

And just as she finished off saying that a knock interrupted them and both sighed deeply, knowing it must be Negan.

And it was.

- OPEN UP BEFORE I LET MYSELF IN!! - he yelled.

- IN A FUCKING MOMENT! - Lucille yelled back as she walked up and opened the door, facing him after her escape for the first time.

The two stood in front of each other for long seconds, just staring at each other before Negan finally spoke up in a really calm way:

- Explanation?

- Who? Me?

- Who fucking else?

- I don't know what do I have to explain to you after clearly telling you to basically throw your women out if you want me and you didn't.

- I told you why the fuck I can't do that!

- Yeah! You have and I told you I'm not accepting that shit, Negan!

- I fucking love you and you know that!

- You said you love me, but you're acting the completely different way. Because if you would love me then you'd only have me, but you have atleast 5 other women and I'm not gonna be a part of that shit!

- So what do you want me to do?

- TO LEAVE ME ALONE AND GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!

- Seriously...

- Yes, fucking seriously!! I want you to leave me the fuck alone because you can't change for one fucking moment! And I do not need you this way!

She stepped closer to him, placing her hands on his face.

- I love you... I really fucking do, but I'm not going back with you... I'm done with you, Negan... So leave...

Maybe hearing Lucille sending him off this calmly made him more horrified than if she'd yell at him.

That was scarier than anything else he has ever imagined.

And surprisingly enough he turned away from her and quickly walked away, back to Rick then grabbed him by his collar as he said:

- Fucking take care of her! Do not let her fucking get hurt because I'll fucking cut your fucking arm off! Got it?

- Yes, yes...

Rick was terribly confused, but from this he could see how Negan actually did love Lucille.

But he didn't dare to say anything more.
