You rested your head on the glass of the passenger window of Negan's truck, some fog settled along the roadway. It was extremely difficult to see in front of the truck. Negan pressed the gas petal and continued to drive through the fog. He was unaware of the horde that was in your path to the sanctuary. Unfortunately for the two of you, he didn't see the herd in time to stop, so you were sent flying into them, swerving and running over walkers. The rough terrain and conditions of the particular circumstances and bumps in the road caused your head to separate from the glass and come crashing down onto it with a hard slam causing the glass to break. He looked over to you after he heard the noise and your scream, and drove through the rest of the herd and Negan slammed on the breaks and began to examine your face, assessing the damage. You moved your hands away from your right eye, blood seeping from several cuts across your face and shoulder.
"Holy shit." he said looking at the small fragments of glass stuck in the side of your face. "Alright, we have to get to the doctor. Here.” he handed you his scarf, “Can you keep pressure on it? Can you make it back okay or do you feel like you’re going to pass out? Doll, look at me! Ah, shit!" he finished, eyes wide staring at you.
"Negan, I'm fine. It's just a couple of cuts, not that much blood. Are you gonna make it back okay or should I drive." you said jokingly trying to not think about the pain or about the shape you were in. Negan pressed the gas pedal down to the floor.The truck was hauling back to the sanctuary.
Negan began, "I'm fine, but you are not. Doll, this is serious, your hurt. Bad."
The truck Negan drove quickly approached the gates, Negan waiving his hand out of the window frantically and beeping the horn, not caring that it would draw surrounding walkers toward the camp. The gates sprung open in just enough time for the truck to graze right through.
Members of the sanctuary came rushing out to help aid in whatever way possible, not knowing what caused Negan's panic and urgency. He quickly slid out of the door and raced around to your side, glass broken and bloodied yelling get the doctor! She's hurt!" He proceeded to attempt to carry you into the doctor’s room, you tried pushing him off "Negan, I'm good. I can walk I didn't break my damn legs." you were getting irritated at how attached and frantic he was, you tried to walk but you stumbled instead. Negan snaked his arm around your body just in time so you didn't fall.
"Look, you’re freaking out, in front of all of your people. You need to calm down, you didn't do this, it was an accident. Go calm your people down now, you got them all freaked out and worked up." you pleaded to him seeing the edges of your vision fade to black.
"I'm not-" he uttered.
"GO!" you tried yelling at him, "I'm okay, I can make it."
He picked you up and cradled you and ran into the doctor’s room, his eyes quickly noticing your presence. He got up quickly as a nurse guided you over to an examining table. "How did this happen?" the doctor questioned Negan about you, peeling the scarf away from your face.
You winced at the pain but pushed through to answer the doctor."Ah, um, I was in the truck coming back here from a pick up and there was the fog and walkers, I had my head resting on the, OUCH, GOSH FUCK!" you screamed swinging your fist, as Negan swept across the room to your side, holding your hand and drilling holes into the doctor for putting you in more pain. "Uh, sorry Doc. Yeah, my head on the window and we hit the herd and here we are." your smiled a little.
"Well, you must have some kind of hard head to break that glass, luckily, no glass got into your eyes. You only have four abrasions on he lateral portion of your face. And two additional on your shoulder. It's a miricale that only one of them will need stitches." he said while gently wiping the blood from your face. "Mary, I'm going to need some more alcohol, bandages and sutures. Painkillers."
"No, save'm for someone who needs 'em. I'll be alright." you replied, "I can handle it Doc."
The doctor raised his eyebrows and you as did Mary and Negan. "Y/N you're going to need them. You are in pain already, and stitching this up isn't going to make it feel any better."
"No! I don't need 'em." you said sternly, "I'll stitch myself up if I have to." You looked at Negan, "I don't need them."
"Doll, you sure? It's gonna hurt like hell. It will help."
"I'm strong, I can handle it." you answered him.
At this point the doctor and nurse have your wounds under control and ready to be sticched and dressed.
He honors your requests and turns to the doctor, "Just don't hurt her." Negan said in a very protective and threatening tone.
The Doctor swallowed hard, "You got it Boss. But um, in order to do this.” he paused and continuing cautiously, “This is a small room. And make her the most comfortable, Mary and I will need this space. If you could just go into the other room Si-" he stated calmly.
"Fuck NO!" Negan yelled squeezing your hand.
"Negan, I'll be okay, they need their space to do this right. Go on now." you nodded rubbing your thumb across his strong callused hand. "Go, I'll be fixed up in a wink." you whispered to him smiling softly. He submitted to you, and reluctantly retreated to the 'waiting room'.
Back in the 'waiting room' Negan was pacing back and forth from one end of the room, tensing up everytime you would let out a wince or stifled scream. The door opened and he turned his attention there, Simon was walking briskly to him, holding his presious bat. "She okay?" Simon said somewhat out of breath, "The others said she was all bloodied up, what the hell happened?" he continued, "they're talking out there, said you talked to them so quickly, they're kind of freaking out." he paused looking at Negan's face. "Sir?"
"What? What the fuck is so important right now other than my wife with her face sliced open?! And I can't be in there with her because I would be in the way." he snapped at him.
"My apologies, Sir. Well, um, no good way to say this but your truck is all but half empty." Simon said with caution.
Negan's eyes flared, "Fuck!" he yelled in a deep gruff voice and began punching the wall. "The shit must have fallen out when I was haulin' ass just to get back here so damn quickly." he took a breath and took off his leather jacket, "I don't give a shit about that stuff, as long as she;s okay and gets better, that's what I care about." he finished placing his hands on his hips and looking down at the floor.
Simon nodded and placed his hand on Negan's shoulder, saying "Me too, Boss. I'll leave you to it then. I'm here if you need anything. You know that." he turned and left the building.
"Negan, Sir. You can come see her, she's all finished now. She's out right now though. She was dehydrated, that combined with the pain and the blood loss. She will be weak for a couple of days. But she will heal nicely." Mary finished, walking Negan back to you.
He caught sight of you and had to take a deep breath. "When will she be up?"
"Um, I'm not sure Sir." Mary said, "I know that she's a strong woman. My best guess is half a day at least."
Negan looked back to your sleeping body, "I'll stay with her, I'll call you when she is up."
A couple of hours past and Negan never left your side. He sat next to you holding your hand. You were beginning to wake up, his head popped up as soon as he felt your hand move. Your eyes opened up and you began looking around.
"Hey, Nurse! She's awake." Negan said voice elevated.
The doctor and nurse came in and checked on you and your bandages. "Everyting is looking great. Your vitals are normal. You'll be weak and sore for a little while. You can go later tonight if you’re feeling up to it. We did end up giving you some pain medication to help with the pain when you finally did wake up so I don't want you walking around on your own for the next couple hours. We can give you more if you want."
"Thanks, but no thanks Doc. I'm good without it." you said. Negan remained silent and held your hand in his. The doctor returned to his office and the nurse stayed to double check your bandages. Once she was finished checking your bandages and cleaning them, she made sure you had some food and water.
"Hey, c'mere." Negan said directed to the nurse, he stayed quiet to not disturb you. "Tell the Doc," he said firmly. "I want him at tonight's meeting."
Mary smiled and said " Yes Negan, I will tell him that he needs to go tonight."
*an hour later at the meeting that night.*
"So now that we have addressed all of this weeks dilemmas. Doc, thank you for making my wife, Y/N stable. Looks like she'll be making a full recovery thanks to you and your nurse Mary." he paused, letting the doctor walk towards him. "Although, she stressed to you that she didn't want any pain medications. She said she was fine. In fact she wasn’t, but out of respect for my wife, I agreed to let her have her choice. You went against her wishes." he said grunting as he grabs the doctor by his lab coat.
"No, no, Negan, please." he pleaded.
Negan ignored him and tossed his body in. "Let this be an example to you people, you listen to me, respect me and my wife. Don't go against the rules and this wont be you."
"Hey, I'm ready to go now" you said to Negan. "I've got things to do, people to see."
He walked towards you, boots heavy on the floor. "You sure she'll be alright?" he asked Mary, she was frightened. Normally everyone was scared of him to begin with but she was more scared then usual you thought, unaware of tonight’s events at the meeting.
"Yes, I will need to see her everyday for the next week to check on her. Make sure there isn’t an infection and to make sure she heals properly." she answered back to him, voice shaking.
"Relax Mary, he went behind our backs and did specifically what we told him not to do. And as long as you don't do that and you keep her healthy then you don't have to worry about." he smiled and walked over to you, helping you out of bed and kept his arm tight around you.
"Thank you Mary. I guess i'll see you tomorrow then." you said smiling.
Negan began walking you out back to your house. "Oh, you’re promoted, congrats."

You sat there with Negan until the sun came up, spreading its warm rays across the sanctuary. He got up reluctantly leaving you alone to go take care of some business. You didn’t mind, in fact this was all going to the plan you had made. He put Dwight in charge of helping you with anything that you may have needed while he was gone.
“I’m good Dwight, you don’t need to babysit me.” you told him, standing up from the couch and limping slightly.
“Well, I’m not supposed to leave you, Negan said.” he started.
“Yeah, well I don’t care what Neagn said.” you snapped at him “I’m telling you that you should listen to me. Remember what happened to the last person that didn’t listen to me” you said strongly, raising an eyebrow waiting for Dwight to challenge you.
He paused, thinking about it, “Okay. But, I don’t like it.”
“You don’t have to.” you blurted out not having enough patience for dealing with him today. After he left the room you got dressed, you feel better today but still a little sore. You needed to take action today or else the plan would be in drastic jeopardy. You put on your big girl pants and soldiered on.
You walked to the medic building and easily found Mary, the sanctuary’s new doctor. She was terrified, looking at you with wide eyes. You smiled calmly and it seemed to settle her down a little. “Hey, Mary, how are you?” you asked her.
She hesitated, realizing that you were alone, she didn’t expect Negan to leave you without supervision for a while. “Good, how are you felling? How’s your pain?”
“I’m okay, I know the best nurse, she’s a doctor now actually. She’ll fix me up real good.” you smiled hoping to cheer her up a little. “I’m actually hoping to get a couple of those pain killers.I’ve got some things that I would like to do and those may come in handy.” you said pointing to the medicine locker.
“Yeah, but first let me have a look at your head and shoulder.” she said voice shaky.
“Mary.” she keeps glancing at the door waiting for Negan to enter, “It’s just me. No one else. You can relax.” she walked back over to you with clean bandages in her gloved hands. “Look, I know what Negan did last night. I don’t exactly agree with it, but, it happened.” you paused, sighing, “Things happen. You just have to deal with it.” you finished.
After you were done with Mary, you were feeling a lot better. She gave you some extra pain killers in a pill bottle for later. Now, it has to be now. Back in the sanctuary, you were able to distract the guards saying that there was an emergency meeting Neagn called, said that you would take watch until they got back. When they left you entered and started looking around. You needed something that was fast, easy and a quiet kill. Your eyes landed on a familiar weapon. Daryl’s crossbow. Perfect.
You took it outside and hide it in some bushes. You had just returned to the doors when you see the men walking back to their post that you ‘watched’ for them.
“Hey, Y/N, there wasn’t anyone in there. Asked around and they said Negan was already gone.” the man said.
“Oh,” you furrowed your brows, “I thought I heard Dwight say something. Um, sorry guys.” you said walking away shaking your head, acting like you were confused.
Once out of their sight, you grabbed the hidden weapon, slinging it over your shoulder that wasn’t injured. You walked around confidently, making others think that you were allowed to have it within the walls. Nothing else going through your mind other than you plan.
“Hey guys, you know where Dwight is? S’posed to help me with somethin’.” you said acting more fragile than you actually are, hoping they would buy what you’re selling.
“Yeah, Y/N. He’s out by the fence, smoke break.” they said pointing in the direction where they keep the cars and bikes.
“Thanks guys.” you said innocently, smiling at them and limping over in his direction.
You closed the door behind you silently, and you looked around for Dwight. No sign of him. You readied the crossbow, ready for anything. You caught sight of a cloud of smoke, Dwight. You walked toward it, being completely silent, the way you were taught back when this whole thing started ages ago. You pressed your back up against the wall, taking a deep breath, this had to go right or the plan to take down the sanctuary and Negan would get you and everyone else at Alexandria killed.
You swing around the corner of the wall and shoot. The arrow pierced the tire of one of the motorcycles next to him. He was shocked, his head snapping to the arrow. You ran up to him with the crossbow ready. “Don’t move.” you said through your teeth. He just looked at you, shocked. He never took you as the person who would be capable of doing this, fooling everyone to think that you were weak and couldn’t take care of yourself. Carol taught you well.
“Put them on the ground. All of ‘em.” you commanded him. He stood up slowly and complied.
“What do you need Y/N? No one has to get hurt. Just put that thing down before you hurt yourself.” he said in a clam voice with his hands raised. He still thought that you were something fragile and weak.
“You’re takin’ me home.” you said staring daggers at him with he crossbow aimed between his eyes. He raised his eyebrows and nodded. “Don’t try anything or I’ll kill you.” you said to him in a stern, confident voice.
“Okay. Okay-” he started but you interrupted him.
“What made you think that you have a choice?” you said harshly, not wavering from your dominate position. “Get up. You look pathetic.” you said pushing him toward another bike and taking his things.
He started the motorcycle, you attached the bow to your back and had a knife in your hand that was hidden behind Dwight’s back, ready.
“Where are you guys going?” the guards questioned the two of you.
“Out.” you said plainly. “Open the gates or I’ll kill you and open them myself.”
They quickly complied, wanting to live. Dwight drove through without a problem. You grabbed Dwight’s gun that you had in your belt and turned around slightly and pulled the trigger twice, tying up loose ends.
The whole way to Alexandria you had your knife pressed to his back, preventing him if he tried anything. You wouldn’t hesitate. As you approached Alexandria you waived an arm at Tara and Eugene and they opened the gates allowing you and Dwight inside with ease.
You swung your leg off of the bike and pulled out your gun again and pressed it in between Dwight eyes. Rick searched him for any hidden weapons, coming up with nothing. Daryl ripped his vest off and placed it on his body where it belonged. You simply completed him when you handed him his crossbow. You pushed the gun closer into his forehead making him walk backwards out of Alexandria. “Enjoy the walk home.” you said in a gruff voice.
“Why’d you kill the others and not me?” he questioned.
“I’ll do that later.” you said with no emotion, “I need you to give Negan a message from us.” you said raising your arms slightly motioning to the others standing around you, “It’s. War.”
Want to be added to the tag list? Let me know! Requests are open!
"Hey Boss, what time did the man go to the dentist?"
"I don't know, when?"
"Tooth Hurt-y"
You and the others laughed at the joke.
"Two guys walk into a bar, the third one ducks.", again everyone started laughing. Your jokes were terrible, but they were so bad that they were funny.
"C'mon, one more!" Simon told you.
"What's Forrest Gump's password for everything?" you said.
"What?" Negan said with a cheesy smile.
"1forrest1" you said bursting into laughter.
Negan broke into laughter, as did everyone else. You always found a way to make light of everyday and make people happy.
Imagine Shane's face when you catch him staring at you.
"You keep your mouth open like that, you're gonna catch flies, Shane," you joked.
"Uh, I wasn't uh..." he trailed off.
"Oh come on Shane, I see you looking at me all the time, it's no secret..." you leaned up against the trunk.
"I mean, what's the point now? You know now so, you wanna go on a date or somethin', not sure how that'll work but I'll come up with somethin'. Look I like you a lot, Y/N."
Seeing Daryl for the first time since he was taken.
You looked over your shoulder and saw him. Heart skipping a beat and body breaking out into chills. He was here. He was alive.
"Daryl." you whispered in shock and relief.
"You know him?" a voice said from behind you. You turned towards the voice. Negan stood there, Lucille over his shoulder. Your jaw tightened. "Well then, how about we have ourselves a little reunion." he said with a growing malicious smile.
Part 1| Part 2| Part 3| Part 4| Part 5| Part 6| Part 7| Part 8
"Let's go!" you said, briskly walking to wards the door, leaving the meeting with Negan and the Saviors. Today was the day. The day that you put your plan into place.
You grabbed Rick's hat and you grabbed the truck door handle and opened it. Soon after it opened, it was quickly pushed shut. "Not so fast, doll." Negan said, his body towering over yours. With frustration burning inside your eyes, you looked at him.
"What." you said.
"What do you think you're doing." he leaned down, making his face only inches from yours. His gaze never leaving your eyes.
"W-what do you mean?" you said, jaw tightening. Does he know? How could he know?
"All this confidence, better not go to that crazy little head of yours." he straightened back up, "Don't forget, I run this place, these are my people. I call the shots. Don't get in over your head, Darlin'. With great power comes great responsibility."
A wave of relief crashed over you, he didn't know about your plan. "Well Boss, what do you want me to do then? Stay here, go with you, or go to Alexandria." you questioned him, making it seem like he could control you.
He sighed and leaned his back up against the truck and grabbed your hand in his. "Well, first off, Doll. You don't have to call me Boss. And I think it's just going to be me and you making a little visit to Alexandria to say 'hi' to Rick and his people." he said with a mischievous smile.
You swallowed and felt your heart drop into your stomach. You couldn't let your concern show though, so you met his smile with one of your own as you grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled him into a kiss. He was surprised but kissed you back pulling you closer into him.
All of the others were waiting for Negan's approval to leave. He pulled away and raised his hand, "Alright, get the fuck out of here. Go on!" He turned his head and picked up where he left off.
You let your hands wander, feeling if he had any other weapons on his body other than Lucille. Nothing. He was leaving for Alexandria, with just you and Lucille. Nice to know.
You broke from his kiss and looked up at him, "You changed me Negan, you made me just as psycho as you. Maybe even crazier..." you kissed him again, "You ready to go?" you said biting your lip. He eyed you, cracking his neck.
It was just the two of you, everyone else had already left. "Shit, I thought you'd never ask." he said leaning in to kiss you again.
"Keep it in your pants, Negan. I meant Alexandria." you said turning your head away from his lips and putting your hand on his chest pushing him away. He released you from his strong arms.
"Hey, I didn't mean to, uh I just thought." he ran his hand through his hair, "If you're not ready that's fine." he said, "I can wait just a little longer."
You looked at him acting like you were shy about taking the next step with him and your marriage. "Negan." you sighed, "You ready to go, to Alexandria now?" you said laughing.
"Yeah, let me." he said reaching to open the door for you. You smiled took his hand helping you in the truck. The door didn't shut, to you took the hint that he was driving. Control freak. He climbed in and handed you Lucille. You just stared at her. Having flashbacks of the stories of what had happened to Glenn and Abraham, because of Negan and Her. Subconsciously your jaw tightened trying to suppress your emotions.
"Ground control, to major Tom." he said, pulling you from your thoughts. "You gonna take her?"
You nodded, "Yeah, sorry." you grabbed his 'dirty girl' and gripped the end tightly.
"Hey, don't do anything crazy." he said laughing nervously seeing your slight aggression.
"I just can't wait to get to Alexandria." you said releasing her from your grip. "Something about you made my brain snap, I ain't the same now." you said smiling, running your finger along the barbed wire generously wrapped around the bat.You could feel his eyes on you, you looked up at him, he was looking at you with mixed emotions ranging from concern to lust. You looked him in his eyes, "Let's have some fun!" raising your eyebrows.
During the drive to Alexandria, your former home, you gazed out of the window. Flashbacks started happening to when you had your psychotic break in your 'special room' Negan put you in after he took you. You had spent days in dark, slowly letting the darkness seep into you and your mind. You snapped. Punching the walls and the door relieving the frustration and emotion from your body, leaving your knuckles bloody.
Once you were numb, you managed to put together a plan to get revenge. Revenge for Glenn, Abraham, Alexandria and everyone else including yourself. It began when Negan let you out, you could then put our plan into place. When you were out, with him, you played out your plan but most importantly, you played him.
"You ready, Darlin'?" he said, you didn't respond, "Hey, what is goin' on in your fucked up head today?" he questioned you.
"Ah, nothing, just thinking about what I'm going to do to you later." you said looking at him, eyeing him like a walker does to anything living and breathing.
He smiled, "C'mon then, let's make this quick."
You both got out of the truck. You pulled out your machete and Negan hoisted Lucille to his shoulder. You walked towards the gate, the armed guard told the others to open the gate. You began to take the lead just went you felt the business end of Lucille on your shoulder. You stopped suddenly body stiffening. Fuck, he did know, and he brought you here to kill you and the others.
"I told you, didn't I Darlin'." he paused, "I call the shots. I go first." he said lifting Lucille off of your shoulder and walking past you through the gate into Alexandria. You took a breath, he really didn't know about your plans with Rick and the rest of the group.
"Negan." you said, walking behind him grabbing his shoulder firmly.
He turned to you, "You fuckin' crazy woman?" he shouted at you but you didn't show any emotion, you didn't falter.
"When you locked me away. It changed me. I snapped. I don't feel anymore. All I want is revenge, power. And you can give that to me. I just need a chance. Let me." you said lifting your head making eye contact.
"Don't get that wacked up head of yours ahead of yourself." he said rejecting your request for control over this run.
"This is my group. My people. I call the shots. This here," you motioned to the town and the emerging people, "I made. I helped build this. Not you."
He looked at you head cocked to the side, surprised. "Really, now? You think you can handle that sweetheart? You think you can-"
"You're a fierce leader, but I can do better. You're crazy, but I'm crazier. You have everything to lose. I don't." you said walking towards him. "Do you trust me?"
"Always. But, I can't just let you have complete control over all of them. I just can't, not now." he said softly, "But, eventually, Doll. I trust you." looking deep into your eyes.
Your plan was working perfectly. You had him almost completely wrapped around your finger. He made it easy.
"Rick!" you shouted walking deeper into Alexandria. "Come out, come out!" You walked right up to his front door, he opened it slowly, seeing you standing there.
"Is that necessary, Y/N?" Rick asked you motioning to the sharp machete you had in your hand.
You tipped the hat on your head, "Just a little precaution, you know the drill Rick." you said walking past him into his home. Negan followed you locking eyes with Rick raising his eyebrows and biting his fist.
"Ah, it's been a while since I've seen your little girl. Oh wait, it's really Shane's but good for you for steppin' up to the plate." you said. Rick bowed his head, your words hurting a little. "Where is she?"
Rick pointed and started talking, "Maggie, she uh, took her on a walk. They're outside.
"I feel like taking a walk, don't you dear husband?" you said towards Negan.
Negan smiled and said, "You go ahead, Doll, I wanna stay and chat with our gracious host for a minute."
You looked at him and Lucille. You walked over to Negan planting a deep kiss on him before you left. But as you turned Negan's hand connected with your bottom, making you jump a little. You turned around and your eyes met his. He had a shit eating grin plastered across him face. You left to go find Maggie and Judith.
"She's one hell of a woman, isn't she?" Negan said to Rick. Rick remained silent. "Oh, c'mon now Rick, you had her since this started, time to let someone else have some quality time with her."
"You don't touch her, or I swear to-" Rick said before Negan interrupted him.
"Or you'll what? You gonna do that whole, 'not today, not tomorrow' bullshit?" Negan hissed. "Let's go see how much of your shit I can fit into my truck." They went outside.
"What did you do to her. She's...different." Rick said clearing his throat, Negan analyzing Rick, "Looks like she's wearing the pants in the relationship."
Negan let Lucille dangle in his hand, laughing he said "You know Rick, it's because of her, this place isn't burnt down yet with all of you turned, chained to my fence." he stepped close to Rick, "She might think she's in control, but I assure you, I know everything that crazy thing over there does. I am everywhere. In case you haven't caught on."
Rick stared to the ground, not knowing what he really knows. Rick did know that he doesn't know about your plan to overthrow him yet because you were still alive.
The guys finished loading up your truck and you said your goodbyes to Judith and Maggie and found your way over to Rick who was standing alone. Negan was making sure nothing was skimped on. "Everything go okay? What I said earlier, you know I didn't mean a word, I just gotta make it believable." you said concern in your eyes.
"Yeah, I know." he smiled "Everything is working to your plan, perfectly I am worried about you Y/N. You do seem different, you remind me of when I broke. Just be careful, don't get lost in your thoughts, don't get inside your own head."
You smiled, "Yeah Rick, thanks. When he locked me away, something changed, it was like every cell in my body ran on revenge and nothing else. But I have to keep my head above the water, keep my head straight to help all of us." you said. "I'm sorry for this but I know he's looking."
He looked at you confused, "Wha-" he said just as your hand smacked the side of his face. You stood there for a couple seconds before plucking the hat from your head and poorly placing it atop Rick's. You turned and saw Negan, he was shocked but he still had a smirk on his face. You walked back over to the truck and got in.
Negan soon followed you and as soon as the gates closed behind the truck and you made your way back to the Sanctuary he turned his attention to you. "What was that about."
"What? Rick?" you asked. He nodded. "Oh, he was just bitching about how I took the hat from Carl, how it's not right blah blah blah."
"Damn Baby, you're cold. Smacking the very man who saved your life when this started. Maybe you are crazier than me." he smiled once again and the two of you, in a truck full of other people's things, made your way back home.
Summary: Reader gets tired of Lori and her actions so, reader let's Lori have a piece of her mind.
You watched as Lori walked past Shane and over to Rick. She didn't even look at him, completely ignoring his existence. You watched from the opposite side of the room cleaning your gun. You shook your head and scoffed and said some choice words under your breath. Daryl heard you, "Shit, why don't ya just give'r a piece of your mind, Y/N, and stop bein' so bitter about it."
You laughed, shaking your head catching Lori's attention, "Nah, she couldn't handle that. She can hardly handle herself." your eyes traveled to her, she was staring at you.
"You got a problem with me, Y/N?" Lori said placing her hands on her hips. Rick got up from sitting ready to intervene if necessary. Shane, looked up at the two of you as tempers began to flare.
You slammed your gun down on the table, "Yeah, Lori, now that you're asking. Yes, there is a problem." Daryl was right behind you ready to grab you, you weren't afraid to fight, unlike Lori.
"Yeah, and what is that. What about me bothers you so much?" she said sarcastically throwing her arms up.
"You got over your 'dead' husband in less than a month, start screwing his partner. You barely can keep an eye on Carl, I honestly have no idea what you would have done without us. How many times have I saved your ass? You don't contribute to our group, and you fucking complain about everything. Once Rick saves others from our group, you drop Shane like it ain't shit." you pointed to Shane, he was wide eyed, looking at the two of you argue.
"You're not only a terrible person Lori, you're a terrible wife. Most importantly, you're a terrible mother!" you shouted, Daryl grabbing your shoulder pulling you back, silently saying that's enough. Lori looked shocked at what came out of your mouth. She turned to Rick and looked at him, the same look she had always given him, the 'Rick, do something' look.
She took a few steps forward closer to you, looked you straight in the eyes and said "I know that I'm a shitty wife and I'm not winning any mother of the year awards. But, I'm trying, and that's all I can do." she finished.
"Well, try harder or you're gonna get yourself or Carl killed." your words hit her like a dagger in her heart. Rick stepped in front of her, "Alright, I think everyone is pretty tired, it's late, we should all get some rest." Shane got up and walked out of the room, as he left he turned and looked at you, you're eyes locking for a second before he disappeared. Daryl grabbing you and pulling you back over to where you two were sitting as Lori and Rick left the room.
"Damn, Y/N. You finally said what I was thinking. What everyone was thinking." Daryl said. You just looked at him and put your gun back together.
You walked over to the makeshift bed that you and Daryl were sharing, "You think I should apologize for what I said to her?" you whispered to Daryl, keeping quiet so you didn't wake anyone. "Do you feel like you have to?" he asked you. You nuzzled into him, "Probably. Just to keep the peace in the group." you replied. With a quiet "Alright then, first thing tomorrow then. G'night, Y/N," he said.
The next morning, you asked Rick where Lori was, "I should apologize, to you and her, what I said was out of line. And I'm sorry."
Rick said, "It's alright, I understand, and at first I felt the same way. Believe me I did, but all that stuff is done now. It's just the past, in this world you can't worry about the past because we have plenty to worry about in the present." You nodded, "Thanks Rick. So, she's in there?" you pointed into another room. Rick nodded. You walked into the room, Lori taking notice to you as you walked in.
"Go on and find your daddy now Carl." Lori patted Carl on the back. He left the room and you stepped in closer to her. "Look, Lori, what I said last night, it wasn't right, I'm sorry." you brushed Y/H/C behind your ear. She looked at you, "Yeah, I know, but I needed to hear that. Thanks for apologizing, really, Y/N." Lori said to you. You smiled at her as you turned to walk out of the room.
You turned to corner to find, Daryl and Rick waiting to see what happened between the two of you. "Calm down, we're okay now." you laughed.
