~Five Days Later~

Negan wraps a arm around my waist I feel for the paper in the front of my jeans I was in as he bangs on the gate of alexandria with lucielle I jump as the sound echoes and negan says something but I don't care at the moment I clear my throat when the gate opens and I see my dad I clench my hands as my dad and negan talk negan turns to me "come on sweetheart let's go see your family".

I walk forward and I see my dads piercing gaze on negan I stop to hug him and I whimper "hi daddy" he kisses me on the forehead "you good baby girl?" I nodd and look up and try to put on a fake smile "i'm good dad" he runs his hand through my brown hair and then I am broken by rosita "bella?" I look up and see her running towards me she hugs me and whimpers in my arms "thank god your okay".

I whimper and cry in her hold "i'm so sorry about abe" she shakes her head "that is not your fault you didn't want anyone else to die that's very honerable alot of people are mad at you but i'm not okay? you did whatever it took to keep us safe" I nodd as it's her turn to comfort me now "your my best friend" she sighs of relief and I reach down to my jeans waistline and pull out the paper from the front of my jeans and pass it to her and I whimper "don't let them catch you with this you give it to glenn please".

She grabs the paper and hides it in her pants like I did and then we are broken by negan "alright come on sweetheart enough of the reunions show me around" I break from rosita she glares at negan and she looks at my arms and she growls "what did you do to her?" she points to the bruises that lined my forearms and wrists "rosita" she looks at me "don't please" she backs down and then my little brother carl wraps his arms around me "hey big sis".

I smile at him and hug him back and I say "i'm fine okay?" negan smirks as I walk towards him and he grips my wrist and he says "alright men clear out"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the men searched the houses I was standing beside negan daryl was standing beside dwight and daryl doesn't say a word to anyone I glare at dwight and cross my arms when I see one of negan's men standing beside enid my brother's girlfriend I walk away from negan but his grip on my wrist tightens and I see enid have tears rolling down her cheeks and I say "negan control your men or i'll do it for you".

Negan laughs and gets at eye level with me "he won't hurt her" I cross my arms and stare right back at him fire in my eyes "he touches enid like that again I won't hesistate to kill him" negan laughs when he lets go of my hand and I walk towards them I grab the green balloons and hug enid and I growl "move" he smiles at me creepily and he says "you wanna join lil girl" I roll my eyes and spat back at him "I would rather jump on a live grenade".

His eyes glaze over with anger and I whisper a threat to him "one more move and i'll kill you enid probably won't she's a kid but you look in my eyes and tell me if i'm bluffing" his eyes glare into mine and he says "whatever you say negan's 9th wife".

My dad coughs "wife?" I look back at the asshole and he has this evil smirk on his payback's a bitch and I say "i'm negan's 9th wife what did you expect me to do dad?" his eyes look at mine "you mean to tell me that your sleeping with him? a man that killed your family?".

I feel the tears start to fall as I see betrayal all over everyone's faces "look I didn't say I liked it dad but I will go to hell and back just to keep ya'll safe and if I had to becomes negan's 9th wife just to do that i'll do it" my dad looks sad and he says "you betrayed us? my own daughter?".

I sob and look back and see glenn looking at me with so much anger so is aaron and eric and tara too and rosita is the only one not looking at me any different and michonne looks sad for me "dad I had too" he looks back at me and he growls "your not my daughter anymore".

I feel my stomach drop and carl just whimpers "dad come on look at her she's not different she did it to save our lives as much as I wanna kill him right now i'm not doin it because of her so you need to just shut it" I whimper and walk away "negan can we leave now? I don't wanna be here anymore".

Negan grabs my wrist and I stop right by spencer and rosita as eugene opens the gate and I say "hey negan?" he looks back at me and I ask "can I ride with dwight on daryl's bike?" negan looks confused at first and I say "I just wanna forget what happened they didn't take it to well".

He nodds and kisses me on the lips I kiss him back and then I see rosita glaring at us I look at my feet and I look at dwight and I ask "can you spare the room on the bike?" he nodds with a sad smile I hop on daryl right by us and dwight says "you can have it back all you have to do is ask" daryl stares at me and he says huskily "why are you doin this?" I narrow my eyes at him "so he doesn't wreck it" we drive off and make our way back to negan's compound.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rosita's p.o.v

I wait until they have left until I look down at the paper she gave me and I see a whole map of negan's compound the layout of everything and she drew the whole compound I break out into a smile and I say "that's my girl" I look at rick and I see him having a completely heartbroken face and I say "rick look what bella gave me".

He looks at the paper in my hand and he breaks out into a smile "she's still on our side she's given us a extra edge" I look up at him and glower "she was always on our side did you actually think she'd betray us? if you actually did think that then your alot more stupid than I thought".

I walk away from him and I look at everyone and I say "she's still our family bella gave us back our edge for those of you who thought she betrayed us are the most stupid people I have ever met her blood is here she will do anything for our family and if lying in bed with that worthless piece of shit does it then so be it" I held up the paper and I look at glenn "she said give this to you".

I toss him the paper and his eyes widen "this is a map of his compound she told you to give this to me?" I nodd and he says "oh my god I was giving her god awful looks i'm so stupid" I nodd and I say "yeah ya are" he glares at me "and you didn't doubt her?" I shake my head "nope not once I guess I value mine and her friendship more than you do".

I walk away and I say "when you go back to hilltop give that to jesus he'll know what to do with it" I walk away from everyone all of them walking back to there houses and I just walk back to mine with my head held high don't worry bella you'll be home soon.

Elizabella's p.o.v

~The Next Day~

I walk down to negan's room he told some of the guys he wanted to talk to me which I have no idea what's about and the next thing I see is my little brother seated on negan's leather couch and I say "carl? what are you doin here?" negan smiles up at me as he pulls me onto his lap carl growls to himself I shake my head at him timidly "your brother hid in one of my trucks and gunned down a bunch of my men".

I gave him a glower "Carl Grimes daddy is gonna kill you if I don't do it first" he snickers and I kick his foot "it's not funny your gonna have your ass handed to you with dad" he looks at his feet and I say "i'm sorry negan whatever he did i'd be happy to fix the problem" I put my hand on his chest and he smirks "alright I usually don't let anybody do this sorta thing but for you I will but first i'm gonna take your brother home and when I get back you better be waiting for me in here on that bed".

I gulp and nodd with a fake smile and I say "can I at least say goodbye to my brother?" he nodds as I stand up and negan stands at the door and I hug him and he kisses me on the cheek and forehead and he whispers "jesus is on his way" I close my eyes and I say "be careful little brother take care of judy and enid for me".

He nodds as they both walk out and I run and grab a bag and my notebook and I look out my window and walk down to the fences and see daryl talking to negan and he growls "don't ya hurt that kid" I snicker and cross my arms and he says "D put him back in his cell" I see daryl looking up on the top of the truck I look up and see something but I don't know what did he see paul?.

I run back inside I walk down the halls of the compound and go straight to the infirmary and I see it's empty and I go through the cabinets and see a bunch of prenatal vitamins lined across the wall I grab six bottles of it and maggie would be needing this I stuff it into my bag and I run out of the door and see the coast is clear I grab the note in my notebook tape the key I got out of negan's room and slide it under daryl's cell and keep walking I look around the corner and see it cleared I see his cell open and he looks at me and I whisper "come on".

He runs out and stands behind me and when we walk past the doors where negan's men was located and then we go inside a room when someone comes around the corner and daryl grabs a jar of peanut butter I toss him a knife and I grab a gun from my bag he looks for some clothes and he changes out of his jumpsuit and into jeans and a plaid looking shirt and a hat over his head so noone would reconize him I bite my lower lip when I see his scars on his back and I say "do they still hurt?".

He turns and faces me "no" I bite harder onto my lip "you know I would never betray our family right?" he turns and looks at me anger in his ocean blue eyes "do I?" my heart broke into two and I nodd "look I know he's a monster for what he did to abraham and what he would have done to glenn I did it to save ya'll and I would do it again in a heartbeat" I glower at him and I say "we better get out of here come on".

I check the door and see the hallway is cleared we run down the hall and out the exit and we start to go to the bike and then we hear footsteps and we see fat joey with food in his hand and he says "whoa you guys can run out that gate and I won't say anything i'm just trying to get by just like you".

Daryl slams a pipe to joey's head and smashes his head to pieces I look away when I see jesus come around the corner and he says "daryl?" I grab daryl and stop him and he says to joey's dead body "it ain't just about gettin by ere it's about taking it all" I back away from him and he grabs something from joey's holster and he says "I got the key's let's go".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We pull up at the hilltop and the first person I see is maggie,glenn,enid and sasha walking towards us sasha looks iffy around me glenn hugs me and he says "i'm sorry that I thought you betrayed us" I remove him and cross my arms "it's alright certainly no surprise" I shove him the bag that had maggie's prenatal vitamins in there and I walk away from everyone and he opens the bag and his face crumbles he shows maggie the bag and her eyes glaze over with sadness and she says "how?".

I cross my arms "he showed me everything the armory the pit the rooms the cells and the wives room even the rooms he uses for the supplies" glenn smiles at me sadly and I walk to the porch of the barrington house and sit down and that is until I see the gate's open and I see my dad,michonne,carl,tara and rosita stepping through the gates I walk ahead and daryl and jesus walk out from the house and stand with them and dad looks at daryl and daryl starts to cry I walk towards rosita and hug her and she says "your one tough bitch".

I giggle and hug her and I say "I knew you would understand" she kisses me on the cheek and forehead and she says "thank god your okay" I hug her tightly I feel arms wrap around me and I see it's michonne and I hug her back and then I see dad out of the corner of my eye and I whimper in there hold and I say "daddy?".

He walks over to me and hugs me and I wrap my arms around his torso and I say into his chest "i'm sorry daddy" he kisses me on the forehead "it's alright I should be the one apologizing I didn't mean anything I said alright? ya got my heart it's a sucker for the people you love your family".

I nodd against him and he rubs my back and I sniffle and michonne places a hand in my hair and I say "daddy? I have a song for everyone actually I have two can I sing it at dinner?" he smiles at me and nodds and when dinner came around we was inside the barrington house and rosita walks me to the house where there was a piano right next to the dining room and I sit the notebook down in front of me my whole family and a few hilltop walked with us and I say "rosita sasha this song is for abraham".

They both smile and I sniffle "when I was writing this inside his compound and I actually grieved while writing this and this song is called can you see me" I start on the brown piano and read the notes and I sing the first line.

I wonder where you are hope it's not too far

When will we meet? the smile on your face just like the old days

I see rosita crack a tiny smile so does sasha I see them both starting to cry

Your beautiful heartbeat you gave me a good start you gave me your heart

I'll never lose that part I think you hear me I think you're right here that's why I have no fear

I feel tears roll down my cheeks and I hear my voice die alittle bit but I regain my composure to finish the song

I wish you could see that I'm okay your words they took me far

I wish you could see that I'm okay that I am moving on

Can you see me? Can you see me?

I smile and smile at the memories that flooded my head and he taught me so much how to use a gun how to repair one and how he would make you laugh with the stuff that comes out of his mouth

I still remember sat on your shoulders I was too tired to walk

Laughing together spring sunday weather Ice cream and just small talk

I wish you could see that I'm okay your words they took me far

I wish you could see that I'm okay that I am moving on

Can you see me? Can you see me?

I wish I could see that you're okay

I start to drive down on the piano and start to cry again and I let my voice overpower and I remember his smile and how he would say anything that came to his mind with things like 'what the bitch' or 'mother dick' or 'bitch nuts'

Waiting there for me I wish I could see that you're okay

Please just let me know I wish I could see that you're okay

Smiling back at me I wish I could see that you're still here Watching over me

Can you see me? Can you see me? Can you see me?

Can you see me? Can you see me?

I sniffle as I see there wasn't a dry eye in this room and rosita and sasha walk over to me and hugs me and sasha says "that was beautiful thank you" they both look at me and rosita says "yeah that was wonderful bells".

I smile as I see my whole family here I see my dad leaning on the piano daryl in the background leaning against the wall and I say "the next one is a good one it's called all you had to do was stay".

I sit down on the bench again and put the lyrics and piano notes so I could remember them but once I see it the first time I get it but just in case I mess up I start to play the piano and I look up to daryl as my crystal blue eyes meet his oceanic blues I sing the first lyric.

https://youtu.be/ZVQ1SYezWcE

People like you always want back the love they gave away

And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed

The more I think about it now the less I know

All I know is that you drove us off the road

I look up from the piano keys and to his eyes again and I see so much guilt in his blue eyes and I sing every word to him so he knows this song is about him

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in

Hey, now you say you want it

Back now that it's just too late

Well, it could've been easy

All you had to do was stay

When I sung they why'd you go and lock me out when I let you in I see tears start to roll down he makes his way to the piano and leans again the front of the brown piano next to my dad and his eyes never leaving mine

Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say

I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made

People like you always want back the love they pushed aside

But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye

I have tears falling down my cheeks as I mean every single word in my song and I want him to realise he has lost me for a long time

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in

Hey, now you say you want it

Back now that it's just too late

Well, it could've been easy

All you had to do was stay

Stay Oh

Reliazation hit's him like a ton of bricks and he shakes his head and he sniffles and he says "don't you do it" I shake my head as my heart breaks and he starts to cry too and rosita grabs my shoulders and gives me some form of comfort

This was what you wanted

You were all I wanted

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand

Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in

Hey, now you say you want it

Back now that it's just too late

Well, it could've been easy

All you had to do was stay

Stay

All you had to do

All you had to do was stay

All You Had To Do Was Stay

After my song everyone stays quiet and I stand up and I sniffle and walk away from him and he says "is this it? this is how we end thangs?" I bite my lower lip and nodd without talking because I know if I open my mouth i'll forgive him but I keep telling myself not to do it and I whimper "don't follow me dixon".

I walk away but I feel a hand wrap around my wrist and I know it's daryl and he says "i'm sorry" I whimper in his hold "daryl let me go" I turn around and I scream "I expected sasha and maggie and glenn not to trust me but not you I will say a million times more I didn't have a choice he was gonna kill glenn and I would do it again in a heartbeat because I love all of ya'll like my own blood and now I feel so pissed that they just threw me away like a used condom oh she's out of the way now and this is the thanks I get? rosita didn't doubt michonne never doubted me carl didn't carol didn't I knew what I was doing daryl just stay away from me for a little while alright? I just wanna be alone and be with the family that didn't doubt me".

Dad has tears rolling down his cheeks and he says "honey we won't ever doubt you again alright we just thought you were scared and then once I seen the map you gave rosita I knew then that you was still with us" I whimper as I remove my wrist from daryl and I sob "it shouldn't had to be that for me to prove to you that I didn't switch sides rick it just hurts you should had just trusted me" his eyes soften as rosita grabs me in a hug and she says "okay come on let's get you to bed it's been a long day hasn't it? everyone just stay away from her for now she needs time to heal and time to breath she hasn't been able to in the last two weeks come on bells".
