Be The Genius In My Heart *BOOK 1 OF MR. & MRS. PORTER SERIES*

Chapter 22

I looked up. Lucille wasn't facing me. I looked at Eugene. Lucille wasn't facing him. But I looked down to my right. Abraham faced Lucille. Tears sprayed down my cheeks. My sobs escaped my mouth. I looked down and noticed Abraham doing his peace sign he always gave us. "Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the other boys out and feed it to his father and then we'll start." Negan announced. I couldn't stop crying. I knew that without Abraham, I would have never been able to survive this world or never meet the man I love. I looked and saw everyone began tearing up and crying. "You can breathe, you can blink, you can cry." Negan said. I was sobbing so hard. "Hell.." Negan paused as he raised Lucille. "Y'all are already gonna be doing that." Bang! Negan smacked Abraham against the head with his bat. I cringed and continued crying. I couldn't bear to watch. "Oh my! Look at that! Takin' it like a champ!" Negan exclaimed as Abraham stood back up. There was a big ass mark with blood dripping down his face. "Suck..My...Nuts..." Abraham said. Bang! Negan did it again. And again. And again. And again. He didn't stop. I looked over at Eugene who was crying just as bad as me. He finally stopped. "Did you hear that?" Negan said. He chuckled. "He said: Suck my nuts!" Negan mocked following a chuckle afterwards. I wanted to lash out at him with my shoes so badly. But I kept my stance. Negan continued hitting Abraham's brains. Everyone continued watching in horror. But when I looked, I indeed saw Abraham's brains smashed in. I felt like throwing up. But I didn't. Negan stopped again, but for good this time. He laughed. "Oh my goodness! Look at this!" Negan exclaimed as he swayed his bat around. Abraham's blood dripped on the side of my right cheek. I didn't say anything. Negan chuckled again. "You guys. Look at my dirty girl!" Negan exclaimed. Negan approached Rosita, with Lucille pointing at her. "Sweetheart.." Negan paused. "Lay your eyes on this." He said. Rosita didn't budge a muscle. "Oh damn! Were..Were you together?" Negan asked Rosita. Rosita was silent. "That sucks. But you should know that there was a reason for all this. Red, and hell he was, and will ever be red! He just took one or six or seven for the team!" Negan yelled. "So take a damn look.." He added. Silence. "Take a damn look!" Negan yelled. Something in me snapped but I jumped up and smacked Negan across the face. I grabbed on to his shoulder but I was held back by some saviors. The saviors knocked me in the stomach and neck as they held me down on the ground. "Ashley!" I heard Rick and my husband yell for me. "No!!" Negan yelled looking at both Rick and Eugene. "Oh no." He added. The saviors had my arms and legs locked on them. These men were strong. I couldn't move an inch. Negan chuckled. "That.." He started. He crouched down next to me. Please don't recognize me. Oh my! That! Is a no-no. The whole thing, not one bit of that shit flies here!" Negan exclaimed. I could hear Eugene whimpering in fear. Negan put Lucille next to my face. Dwight then walked up to me with Daryl's crossbow. Pointing it at me. "You want me to do it? Right here." Dwight suggested. Negan grabbed onto my scalp making me growl in anger and pain. "No. You can't kill them. Not until you try a little." Negan told him. Dwight then picked me up and forcefully dragged me back to my spot. Anger boiled in me. Why can't we do anything?! I want to do something! Eugene held onto my hand again. I held back, but he knew I was in anger. Hell, I was probably even scaring him from my tone and action. Negan stood back up. "Anyway, that's not how it works. Now I already told you before, first one's free. Then what did I say, I said I will shut that shit down!" Negan reminded us. "No exceptions." He added. Negan was walking a bit past Rosita. "Now I don't know what kind of lying assholes you've been dealing with. But I'm a man of my word." Negan said. That he is. "First impressions are important." He said. Eugene was still quivering and crying. So was I. " I need you, to know me.." He added. Well one out of eight people already know you well enough. "So.." Negan raised Lucille up. "Back to it." Negan whipped around and hit..Glenn. "NO!" Maggie exclaimed. I watched in horror. Glenn stumbling stood back up. His head bashed in with his eye popping out. Glenn was mumbling and gurgling his own blood. Brain damage. "No.." I croaked. Why the fuck did I do that?! Why Ashley why?! I fucking knew what kind of shit Negan was capable of! I fucking hate myself. I cried and cried. Looking away. I can't stand looking at the damage I had created. Maggie watched her husband struggling. "Buddy, you still there? I just don't know, but it sounds like you're trying to speak! But you just took a hell of a hit! I just hit your skull so hard, your eyeball just popped out! And it is gross as shit!" Negan said while laughing. "M-Maggie..I'll find you.." Glenn croaked. Maggie was whimpering and crying. So was the rest of us. Especially me. "Aw hell.." Negan paused. "I can see that this is hard for you guys. I am sorry. I truly am." Negan said. But he smiled. "But I did say it." He paused. "No exceptions!" He exclaimed and hit Glenn in the head. He fell with a thud. I covered my ears, not wanting to listen on the damage I had brought. Maggie was sobbing. All of us. "You bunch of pussies." He called out. "I'm just getting started." He finished before hitting Glenn's brains one last time. "Lucille is thirsty! She is a vampire bat!" Negan exclaimed. Negan had walked up to Rick saying:"What was the joke that bad?" "I'm gonna kill you." Rick mumbled. "What? What was that?" Negan asked as he crouched down to him. Rick paused. "Not today. Not tomorrow. But I'm gonna kill you." Rick told him. Negan paused before saying:"Jesus.." He scoffed. "Simon? What did he have? A knife?" Negan asked the savior. At least now know his name. "He had a hatchet." Simon answered. "A hatchet?" Negan questioned in disbelief. "An ax." Simon said. Negan chuckled. "Simon's my right hand man. You gotta have one of those." He explained. "You have one? Maybe one of these fine people still breathing?" Negan asked. "Or did they?" Negan clicked his tongue representing him beating Glenn and Abraham. Rick looked pissed off. It was silent. "Sure. Yeah. Give me his ax." Negan called out to Simon. Silent once again as Negan waved Rick's ax in his face as if he were taunting him. He stood up and slipped his ax down his belt buckle. Suddenly, Negan grabbed on to Rick. "Be right back!" Negan exclaimed, dragging Rick across the ground to the RV. "Maybe Rick will be back with me. If not, well we can just turn these people inside out, won't we? I mean, the ones that are left." Negan called out as he shoved Rick into the Rv and then himself. I could hear Rick crying from inside the RV. I looked up and the sky was turning into day again. Dawn was coming. The RV then drove off, disappearing from sight. I was still crying. I must've cried so much to the point where I will become dehydrated. I felt Eugene's hand over mine. I held back, still sobbing. Simon approached us. "I betcha you regret that action, don't ya sweetie?" Simon asked me. I stopped crying. I looked up at him with my death glare. "Fuck off." I said. Suddenly I was on the ground. Simon dropped kicked my head to the ground. Simon laughed at my pain. I wasn't showing any fear. I looked up at him. My bottom lip was bleeding. Simon chuckled. "We got ourselves a champ here." Simon announced as he held my chin up to where I faced him. Simon looked at me then to Eugene. "You're married to this coward?" Simon asked me. I shook my head to get his fingers off of me. "Yes." I mumbled. "What? Why?" Simon asked. "Because I can marry whoever the fuck I want." I said. "Whoa! I asked a simple question and you blow a shit storm at me." Simon said. He chuckled afterwards. He is trying to break me. "I remember seeing that RV your husband was driving and we dragged him out and beated the shit out of him-" "Stop!" I screamed. Simon chuckled. "Man this chick like to keep her cool." Simon said. It was silent as he looked at me and Eugene. I could feel the others staring as well. "Alright hug it out you two." Simon said. I jumped on Eugene wrapping my arms around him. Hi doing the same to me. I was so scared for my life. I want to be in my husbands arms for the rest of my life.
