"How did you know Merle?" "He saved my life. He saved me from somebody I loved." --- Ryan Melody Greene has not had the best life. She's not beautiful, like her twin sister, Maggie Greene nor does she have an amazing voice, like her stepsister, Beth Greene. Worst is, her boyfriend of three years, Rob, suddenly turns abusive. One day, it seems to be the end. Who would expect that the seemingly heartless, eldest Dixon brother to save her life? An unlikely friendship forms, and Ryan is given the nickname "L'il Sparky". When the world seems to end, Ryan decides to put up some mental walls. Those walls stay firm and stoic until a man in a sheriff's uniform and his friend with a shotgun run to her house with an injured boy in their arms. Ryan believes that she's unbreakable. But maybe the youngest Dixon can break her walls down. Maybe she can break his. I DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF "THE WALKING DEAD" TV SHOW OR COMICS! For the record, Wattpad is doing this weird thing where the Prolouge comes after the first two chapters. I'd recommend skipping forward, reading that, then reading the actual story. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. ***AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED***
