The youngest dixon (a beth greene love story (the walking dead))

Distance

When we stopped the cars I ran into the prison to find Rick. I didn't even look back. "Rick" I yelled and he turned around. "yes?" I found more people... I looked down. he glared in my direction. "we don't have room."i sighed "but we do have room and their family and teens... and Caleb. we do have room Rick we have enough people to clear out more cell blocks." he glared at the ground. "fine" I started to clear out the block cells with nick when daryl came in with c.j on his heels and Merle and marrisa at his side. "We've decided that were clearing three blocks for now each block has about eight to nine cells so everyone who wants their own can have their own. Well keep Rick, carol, me and c.j, Merle and marrisa, Caleb, Hershel, Maggie and Glenn, and now axle and oscar in our cell block. All of you teens can split up one cell block including Carl and bailey. and the last we'll keep all the younger kids In the last. Lock it up at night take the occasional watch rotate staying in their to keep up with Judith's needs and we could keep the supplies in there." daryl had a good idea and it made sense but I needed to get away from everything. "Ill stay in the watch tower. I can keep watch there as well. ill just keep all my stuff up there make it homey you know." daryl glanced to me then to Beth sitting on the floor in the corner away from everyone else with puffy eyes. I winced, bad move daryl noticed. "Sounds good. John can I talk to you?" I stood frozen for a minute. "uh no I gotta lot of stuff to do and I'm thanks for taking robin under your wing you were right I woulda never been able to take care of her." That made him stop talking. finally something I've done right.

I kept walking without looking back until I locked myself in the guard tower and looked out the window to see everyone starring at the door I had just disappeared into. What am I going to do. I screwed up again like always and I run away...like always. Whatever.

"John!" I heard knocking on the door. "what the hell do ya want?" I swung it open to see daryl starring at me intensely. "You need ta' tell me what the hell in going on in that head of yours" he tapped my forehead when he said this and pushed past me into the tower and say In the chair. C.j came in after him and she patted my shoulder. "Daryl I told you it's nothing can't you leave me be!? I'm happy where I am." I snapped at him and he just glared at me. c.j walked up to him and whispered in his ear. he grimaced and stormed out, obviously pissed. I looked at her questioningly and she sighed. "com' on John, can you tell me what's wrong?" she sounded tired she looked tired. "c.j I'm just a screw up I hurt people then push them away and I'm no good to anyone. I'm better off alone." I showed her to the door and shut it. once again locking it.

Three weeks later.

I had all my stuff packed and I was waiting till dark. I had a note written out to leave the group so they didn't go looking for me. I've been thinking about leaving for a long time and now it just seems right. I haven't talked to any of the group since c.j and I think they've forgotten me. when it starts to get dark I post the note in my door and start down the stairs. I slowly start to jog then arrive to the gate at a dead run. I open it quietly and lock it behind me. I take my bow in front of me and find a tree far away to stay in till it's light enough out that I can see where I end up. maybe find a cabin or some other building easy to take over. I'm sure leaving was I good thing I was no good to any one there.

Beth's POV

It's been weeks since I talked to john. I missed him, and I hope he missed me. I told maggie everything and after puking the last two days in the morning and having a bigger appetite she's making me take a test tonight. I'm scared to find out. but I think I want to have johns baby in me it makes me feel closer with him even if I never see him. and when I find out I can finally have a reason to talk to him. Maybe he'll come back.

Maggie stood outside the bathroom tapping her foot. "can you stop please your making me nervous." I heard her laugh. "shoulda thought about that before your actions. I can't wait till you tell daddy" I gripped the test in my hand harder. "Maggie I can't pee when your standing outside the damn door!" I yelled in frustration. she stopped talking. probably from shock I never yell at her...or anyone. I took the test then stood up. I walked out of the cell and Maggie was gone. I out the test on the counter and washed my hands as I waited. I jumped up on the counter and say there for what felt like forget until Maggie came back. she looked at me staring into nothing then snatched the test up off the counter and looked at it. her face fell and she dropped the test. I jumped off the counter and scooped it up. I looked down at the test to see a little pink plus sign.

I started to cry and Maggie held me. I was confused I didn't want it as much before I knew I was. I was just scared. now that I know, I want this baby more then anything and I don't want to give it up. Maggie looked at me sadly and I smiled to reassure her. "when should we start telling people?" I looked down the hall to the dark cell that my dad and Rick were in. can I sleep in your cell and tell people in the morning. I was going to go to the guard tower and tell John before I went to bed. she nodded and walked to her cell. I ran outside and saw the lights off in the tower. I sighed, I guess Ill just wake him up. I ran up the stairs and saw the whitish glow of paper stuck to the dark door or the dim tower. I pulled out my flash light to read what was written.

I'm sorry that all of you guys had to go through with all of my mistakes I don't want to mess up our group I don't want to be the one to make it all fall apart. I don't think I could stay around and watch if anyone else didn't make it. I've grown to close to you guys your like my family, but I don't deserve the goodness you Guys have given me. you don't know my past and it's best kept that way so I'm leaving. but don't forget that I won't forget any of you. love ya all'

-John

There was a walker talkie on his bed when I opened the

Door. I ran over to it and saw a sticky note with a station on it. I cried and threw the wallow talkie to the ground and it smashed into little pieces. I read the back of the note and cried harder.

Beth I'm sorry I left but I had to. I couldn't take all of the memories that kept flooding into my head being here. I hope you know that I love you and I will never stop loving you Beth Greene. your everything to me and I would do anything to keep you safe. and this is what I think will help. i left this wallow talkie so I can keep in touch please contact me when you get this.

-yours John Dixon

My last way of communicating with him and I threw it out the window. I cried harder into his pillow and wrapped my self in his blanket and cried my self to sleep. why would he leave without me.

JOHND POV

It's been two weeks since I left that Walkie talkie. either they don't know or don't care. what ever I give up. it was stupid anyway. I jump down from the tree to do some hunting. I see a small doe not to big come out of the bushes alarmed. I raised my bow to take a shot but it fell. I looked towards where the bullet came from and pointed my arrow. it was a young dark haired man and a brunette man who was towering over him. "who are you?" He pointed and I tensed up. "John Dixon." I responded coldly. "you know how ta shoot them bow and arrows." I nodded and he smiled. "follow us we have a town blocked off we keep survivors their I'm sure you'll like it" I started to follow him. "my name is Phillip by the way and that is Martinez. you can call me the governor." The governor? who the hell does this guy think he is. "We call our town wood bury I'm sure you'll do well there."
