"What the hell happened out there?" Negan questioned as he placed Sky down carefully on the bed.
"Sherry came out of nowhere and raised a bow at her" Sam spoke up as he began to gather medical supplies for Chris.
"What the fuck would provoke her to do such a stupid fucking thing?"
"She's been harassing me for weeks" Sky admitted.
"What the fuck... Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this? Darlin' why didn't you say something?"
"I thought about it, but I thought she was just all talk. I had it handled"
"Obviously not..."Negan replied.
"I'm sorry" Sky replied, her head bowed, she couldn't face the look of disappointment she expected to see in his eyes.
"Don't be sorry Darlin', you got nothing to be sorry for" he said as he hugged her tight. "I'm just glad you're ok, well as ok as can be" he said as he looked at her wounds.
"You're not mad at me?"
"Mad? Darlin' why the fuck would I be mad at you?"
"Because I didn't tell you about what was going on with Sherry"
"I get why you didn't Sky, you felt like you had it handled, and I'm sure you did. That crazy bitch just went and changed the rules on you when she pulled out that bow"
"It's been a long time since I killed someone" Sky admitted. She had only done it once before and in a similar situation where it was their life or hers.
"I'm proud of you Darlin', you stood up for yourself. You didn't take any shit. You showed everyone here the strong woman that I know and love. I'm sorry that you had to kill the mental fucking bitch, but you did us all a favour. You're a survivor Sky, this world just keeps throwing shit your way and you plow on through it and live to fight another day. You're fucking amazing" Negan gushed as he kissed her hard, not worried about Sam standing right there.
Just then Chris ran through the door. "Keira filled me in on what happened, let's get you fixed up" he said wasting no time as he put on some gloves. Taking a quick look at her wounds he knew that he had to deal with the arrow wound first. Blood was still steadily streaming out around the snapped off shaft and he was certain it had nicked an artery.
"Ok, first we are gonna need to get your shirt out of the way, I'm just gonna cut it ok, I think it's safe to say it's already ruined" he said as he took to the fabric with a pair of scissors. "Ok bad news is, the arrow hasn't gone all the way through" Chris began as he checked the back of her shoulder.
"Meaning?" Negan asked.
"Meaning we can't just pull the shaft through from the back, we are going to have to pull the arrow head back through" Chris explained. "It's gonna hurt like hell so I'm gonna give you a shot of morphine ok Sky" he said and she nodded in response, holding tightly to Negan's hand.
As the drugs began to kick in, he gripped the shaft with a pair of pliers and prepared to pull the arrow out. "Ok, this still may hurt but the drugs should have dulled the pain at least a little, but with the way you're still bleeding, we don't have time to wait. This isn't going to feel good. Sam I need you on standby ready to put pressure on the wound once I pull the arrow" he instructed.
"Negan" Chris said as he looked up at the man whose face was filled with worry.
"Yeah Doc?"
"I'm sorry but I'm gonna need you to hold her down. If she moves when I start pulling she could do a lot more damage"
