I groaned in pain as I sat against the wall.

Lily had beaten the crap out of me. I could feel the blood on my face, my eye felt like shit.

If I had to guess I'd say at least two of my ribs were broken, and I could feel the bruises forming all over my body.

It hurt to breathe, every time I breathed in it felt like I was being stabbed repeatedly.

I could feel my head throbbing and my vision getting blurry.

Not to mention I was starving and I couldn't sleep due to that stupid Easy Street song.

I had no clue how long I'd been in here since Lily left, but if Negan wanted to torture me he was doing it right.

"One, t-two, th-ree, f-four" I began counting "Five, s-six, Sev.... Seven, eight, nine, Ten"

I began counting again, and again and again.

I remember reading a book Daryl got me a while back, it said that you can endure anything for ten seconds.

Ten seconds seems like nothing, so if you keep repeating it then you can make it through the situation.

"I can do this" I whispered

—————————————-—

My head was going to explode.

I couldn't take it anymore.

But I wouldn't let myself give in, I wouldn't become a savior or Negan what ever the fuck they call it.

But I didn't know how much more I could take, my vision was starting to get blurry and I was getting light headed.

———————————————

I thinking back to when I was at the prison, back when I felt safe.

I miss everyone. I miss Carl, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie, Rick, Carol. Hell I even miss Sasha.

I remember when I had the Flu, I was stuck in block D. I remember how Bella and I were trying to survive.

I miss Bella.

I miss getting new books all the time, and having my own bed. I miss having a family.

I miss the way things used to be.

————————————————

  I was dehydrated and starving.

I didn't think I was going to make it much longer, the pain was too much.

"I'm sorry Lee" I said in a weak voice "I can't... I can't survive"

I didn't know what I was saying, I didn't know wether or not I was hallucinating at this point.

All I knew was that I was in so much pain.

——————————————-———

"What the hell?" I whispered as note slid under my door

I groaned in pain as I slid crawled on the floor over to the door.

I grabbed the note, it said:

Making you a distraction, Meet outside by bikes ASAP. Door unlocked- Tyler, Pierce, Jesus

Was I hallucinating or did that note just say Jesus?

Was this a trick? Was I about to walk into a death trap?

I slowly stood up in pain, I only had one chance to open the door and not get caught so I had to be careful.

I put my ear to the door hoping I could hear wether or not someone was outside.

It was useless, that Easy Street song was to loud.

"Fuck it" I muttered

I quickly opened the door and looked down the hallway, there was no one there.

I walked out and closed the door behind me, I stayed close to the wall.

I slowly made my way down that hallway and half way through the next.

"Fucking pussy almost got us killed" Someone close by yelled

"Shit" I whispered

I had to think quickly, before a I got caught.

I started trying all the doors in the hallway until one of them finally opened.

I burst into the room and slammed the door shut behind me.

I was out of breath.

I looked around the room, it looked feminine.

It was small enough for me to tell no one was in here.

I quickly went to the dresser and changed out of my clothes. I changed into a black sweater and jeans, and I stole some timberland boots.

I was hoping to look more casual when I left the room.

I went and looked in the mirror on the wall.

Fuck.

My eye was bruised, I had a bruise on my left cheek and jawline and a nasty cut on my forehead.

I looked around the room hoping to find some stuff to defend myself with, I checked the top of the dresser, I found a small thing of Pepper spray. Next I was checking under the bed.

"Oh my god" I muttered As I pulled my own bag out from under the bed "this is my stuff"

I opened the bag and all my stuff was still in it. I grabbed my D hat and put it on to cover my face.

I was still sitting on the ground going through my bag when the door opened.

The door swung open and Lily stepped in closing it behind her.

"Oh my god!" She half yelled as she noticed me

I stood up, I was weak and injured. But I wasn't going to let her win.

"Miss me?" I asked

I kept my hand on my pocket where I had out the pepper spray.

"How the hell did you escape?" She asked

"My friends" I said as confidently as I could

"You friends are going to be dead soon" Lily said as she pulled a Walker talkie off of the clip of her pants

"I'm sorry" I said honestly as I took the pepper spray out of my pocket

I sprayed her in the eyes as much as I could, even after she was screaming and on the floor.

"Oh my god!" She said in so much pain

"Fuck you" I said as I opened the door and locked it from the inside so no one could get in to help her

I ran down the hallway with my bag, I kept running no matter how much it hurt. No matter how much it hurt to breathe.

I had to keep going.

I had to make it out alive so I could come back and kill Negan.
