The loud buzzing of a phone interrupted my peaceful sleep, and Negan groaned as he reached over me in search of the annoying sound. He held the phone up, and through hooded eyes I could see the caller ID was 'unknown'. He answered the call, holding it up to his ear. "Hello?" he answered groggily, silent as someone spoke on the other line, his body tending against mine. "How much time?" he asked quickly, jumping out of my bed as he hurried to get dressed, holding the phone in place with his shoulder as he pulled up his jeans. I sat up, covering my chest with the blanket as I frowned, not used to seeing him in such a hurry. "I'll be there shortly." And with that he hung up the phone, looking over at me as he pulled his shirt over his head.
"I have to go." he simply stated, as if I didn't already know, and when he noticed the hurt in my eyes he sighed. "Family emergency, I have to." he explained further, coming back over long enough to give me a quick peck on the lips before heading out of the room to find his shoes, and I sat there not knowing what to do. "I'll text you!" he called out to me as I heard the front door open and close, and I let out a sad sigh, plopping back down on the bed as I reached for my phone. I held it close to my chest, closing my eyes slowly as sleep, once again, found me.
The sun was beginning to rise when I finally heard from him, but instead of a text he communicated via phone call, the noise jerking me from sleep. I let out a soft whine as I looked at the screen and, reading his name, answered the call. "Negan w--" I began to question, but he immediately cut me off. "Is your door locked?" his voice was low, and it sounded as though he were out of breath as he spoke. "Yeah, why?" I sat up slowly, my brow furrowed as he continued. "Do not leave your room until I get there. I'll text you when I'm at your door." I looked around my dark room. "What's going on Negan?" I asked in a hushed whisper, and there was a long pause before he finally responded. "There's been attacks...and everyone's in danger."
