❝YOU MAKE ME FEEL AGAIN.❞

________

ACT FIVE
SCENE ONE

THE MOMENT SHE ARRIVED AT THE GATES OF ALEXANDRIA, SHE NOTICED THE SAVIORS.

Haven had been smart enough to leave the car a few blocks back, not wanting to leave any evidence that could incriminate Octavia.

A few of the Saviors had took notice of Haven's sudden presence, making them go off their ease.

"Can you please open it or am I going to have to break that handle?" Receiving glares, especially one from the female saviors, Haven only sighed out louder when she caught sight of who was coming to open the gate.

"Spencer."

"You're welcome." Expecting at least a reassuring nod, Spencer sighed when all he received from her was a bump in the shoulder. Haven didn't look back as she made her way to Rick's household, it was the only place she believed Negan could be holding them up at.

"Excuuuuuuuuse me. Where the hell do you think you're going?" Immediately, a blond woman stood before her, and another man standing behind her with the intention to make sure she doesn't do anything to their boss.

"You're excused. Now, let me through." Every step Haven tried to take, the blond woman would stop her.

"You must be downright stupid if you think I'm going to let you get through."

"What are you doing to do? Hit me? Kill me?" Haven knew she perhaps should've jumped a bit at seeing the woman take out a handgun from behind, leaving it at her side.

"Wow wow. Are you crazy? Do you realize what Negan will do if we even touch a strand of her hair? Remember what he told us." The man behind Haven had now left his spot, grabbing a hold of the woman to try to take the gun away.

"We're not just going to let her go through!"

"There's more of a chance of you dying if you pull that trigger, the other one is just a risk." It took a couple more of minutes for you the woman to finally put the gun away and make way for Haven, who gave her a nod as she began walking to her destination.

She ignored the looks she got from both Alexandrians and Saviors, making her walk a bit faster to beat any Saviors that may want to beat her to Negan. Haven didn't want him to hear that she was here from any one else but herself.

Arriving at Rick's front door, Haven didn't think twice to her actions as she was scared it would only make her not do anything. Bursting through the front door, the smell of fresh cooked food filled up the rooms, making her follow the pathway which led her to the dining room.

"Well lookie here! Now it is a family dinner, my brown eyes is here." Haven's eyes landed on Carl and Judith, who looked scared at the fact they were having dinner with a man who killed two men and is emotionally harassing their father.

Taking a deep breath out, Haven finally looked over at Negan, who was of course bearing a teethy smile. "Damn it, and it looks like I came too late! All the food is gone, so Negan, may I have a word with you outside." Giving him a glare, Haven made her way outside to the backyard, not giving him a choice.

"Sorry, the wife is calling me." Negan noticed the look Carl gave him at his words, waiting for his response.

"Don't you mean one of them?"

"Kid, I already told you, she's special."

As he made his way outside, his eyes landed on Haven sitting on one of the chairs, staring at the wall that protected the community.

"Care to explain how the hell you managed to leave the Sanctuary?" Breaking her thoughts, Haven motioned for the man to sit opposite of her, in which he carefully did.

"Care to explain why you're here? You were supposed to drop off Carl and leave, not play house."

"Jealous it was with Olivia and not with you?"

"You're disgusting. Honestly Negan-" There was something different in the man before her that she hadn't quite noticed yet.

"I'm in love with you?" She could feel her eyes open wide at his words, not understanding how this conversation took a spin so quickly.

"What?"

"Well, wasn't that what you were going to say? Honestly Negan, I'm so in love with you." The smile that followed after his words made Haven roll her eyes, taking everything in her by to slap him.

"In your dreams. I was going to say how inhumane you are until I noticed something."

"Which was?"

"You shaved."

"Aw, you noticed. Do you still like me even with my fresh face?" His downright confidence made this more difficult for Haven not to lose her temper.

"That would have to mean I liked you before, so it makes no difference." Her words made no difference to him, only making him lean more forward as much as he could sitting down.
"S-S-Stop trying to change the subject. You never came off like the man to do so. Look, you've done enough here, let's go back home."

Home. But Haven was home, in Alexandria. Octavia's words went through her mind.

"He cares about you, it's weird but he does. Use that to your advantage, Haven. Be smart about this."

And that's exactly what she was doing. She had to.

"You're referring to the Sanctuary as your home? What's gotten into your pretty little head?" It almost felt like she had to swallow her pride once she did the next thing. Gently and carefully grabbing a hold of his hands, looking at the sight before she looked up to meet his eyes.

"Nothing. Please, let's just let this be and go home." Looking down at her gently holding his hands into hers, looking up to meet her brown eyes almost made him cave right in.

Almost.

The sound of the backyard door slide open made Haven drop his hands, bringing hers back to her side. Her actions made Negan keep looking at her, still trying to process what had just happened.

"Oh, um. Hello, I'm Spencer."
