Negan POV:

"Do you want us to go after her boss?" Fat Joey asked while trying to catch his breath.

"No, I know exactly where she is going... let's just wait 'til morning because it looks like it is going to start raining fuckin’ soon." Negan motioned for the others to go back inside.

Negan was trying his hardest to hide his emotions from his people because in reality, he desperately wanted to go after you to make sure you were safe, but he knew you weren't some damsel in distress. Plus, he knew what you just saw in the basement created him to be a monster in your eyes and he needed to figure out what he should do in order to change that. Because even though he manages to survive this new world, if he were to ever lose you permanently he isn’t sure if his heart will ever be able to recover from a break that deep.

Reader POV:

The scene from tonight's events wouldn't stop playing in your head.

The blood, the screaming, and the look on Negan’s face... made you feel scared as hell. All you could think to do was to run.

So that's what you did. You got into Negan's car and just left hoping to find an answer on the way. As the rain was coming down, you thought to yourself, “I trusted him...I could have sworn he was one of the good guys..”. Then finally after driving for what felt like eternity, you saw the only thing you could truly depend on in the distance, your home on wheels. While you pulled into the field, your RV looked exactly how you felt, lonely and in the dark. You were on edge due to the darkness and recent events, so you gripped your knife a little tighter and rushed inside your home.

Trying to calm your racing heart, you searched the kitchen for dinner. You decided to eat some chicken noddle soup while drinking the left over whiskey, because maybe the alcohol will make you forget all about what had happened just hours ago. But of course no matter how drunk you were you couldn’t stop thinking of Negan.

Minutes have past and the alcohol still wasn’t working, so you decided maybe a movie can help ease. So, you grabbed your portable device and played the movie that was left in the player. As the dvd was loading you put on your pjs and grabbed a blanket from the couch and tucked yourself in bed. “ much better...” you thought to yourself. Once the movie had started, you realized it was one of your favorite “Indiana Jones” movies but just like the alcohol, it reminded you of Negan. “ you’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” You couldn’t help but laugh knowing fate was giving you a sign.

Then your drunken mind started to rant furiously to the air, “But how can I trust a guy like him...at least Indiana didn’t have to lie to get into the girls pants!” . You continued your speech while flipping off the universe, “You know why is it sooo hard to tell the truth nowadays! You think most people would want to ban together against the non-living...instead of killing others to show off who’s got the bigger balls!” After a few more slurred statements your screaming match was finally over. You decided to continue watching the movie even though you couldn’t help but remember the comments you had made to Negan about his Indy like bag, wishing he was here with you. As the movie plays on, just as Dr.Jones saves the day, you slowly drifted off to sleep, having one of the best dreams you've had in awhile.

You were with Indiana on another adventure finding ancient artifacts and before you lean into kiss Indy for a job well done...your mind had replaced Harrison Ford’s face with Negan’s. That’s when you woke up in a cold sweat.

You looked around your room in a panic, thankfully your body started to calm down realizing you were safe in your RV. In addition, your movie was on the menu screen, so you figured you were only asleep for a couple of hours. “At least the rain stopped.” You said while peeking out your window noticing the sun starting to find its way through the trees. That’s when your thoughts went back to Negan and all the signs the universe was dealing you, giving you what seemed like the answer you were looking for. “What I’m I gonna do...do I trust him or do I not trust him...ughhh” you think out loud as you scream into your pillow. Then you came up with a final decision plan stating to yourself, “if Negan truly cares for me I’ll give him until noon to come find me and explain to me what the hell I saw last night.”

Negan POV:

Negan got up early the next morning before any one else, in order to sneak out and find (y/n) alone. Just before Negan left he grabbed his bat and headed down the hall. Negan was in the clear until he saw the little girl next door outside with her dog. She waved to him and said, "Good morning... sir"

Negan waved back and replied, "Hey there sweetheart. What are you doing up so early?"

"Dash here needed to go potty so I needed to make sure he is safe. And you?"

Negan laughed thinking this little girl was to smart for her own good, reminding him a little bit of (y/n). "Well I'm just out here making sure you are safe... you can think of me as a Knight protecting his people. And hey it looks like Dash is done, I'll wait until you head back to your room, okay?"

The little girl smiled showing off her missing teeth while grabbing her small dog. She rushed to her room and right before she entered she said, "Excuse me sir... can you also make sure the princess is okay I saw her leave last night looking really sad."

It broke Negan’s heart what the little girl had just requested but he put on a brave face and said, "No problem sweetheart and I'll let her know you were worried about her." Negan gave the girl a bow and started his motorcycle speeding done the road to a safe haven that only "the princess" and he knew about.

Reader POV:

“Okay, time to start moving.” You thought outloud. Just as you were starting a piss poor pot of coffee you heard an engine rev as if trying to get your attention. “Shit they found me.” You panicked believing it to be Brody and his psychotic group. So you crouched down under the windows looking for anything to help you defend your home. “okay...I’ve got pans and my knife...and” when suddenly a voice came through your walkie talkie which was sitting on the table, that snapped you out of your thoughts.

“No need to fret princess...it’s me your one and only knight in shining armor!” Negan proclaimed.

You rolled your eyes and peeked your head out the window noticing Negan in a motorcycle looking extremely sexy but you knew you needed to keep him on his toes, proving to him you weren’t going to fall in his hands like putty again. So you glared out the window and spoke into the walkie saying, “thanks but no thanks I’m perfectly fine...no need to worry about me. This princess can save herself.”

Negan knew you were gonna put up a fight. So he decided to play your game and he slowly got on his bike, starting his engine when your voice came back through the radio asking. “Hey where are you going?”

“Well you want me to leave don’t you doll?” Negan turned around staring at you through the window, smiling that swoon worthy smile at you making your insides turn to mush.

“Shit...he knows me too well.” You thought then you responded to him on the radio, “damnit Negan...why can’t I just hate you!”

That’s when your body started heading toward the door as if a magnetic pull was making you go toward the handsome devil. As soon as Negan saw you coming toward him he ran to you embracing you in a manly bear hug while giving you a tender kiss on the head.

He spoke first and as he spoke you heard the sadness within his voice, “ I’m sooo sorry darlin’ I can explain...the man you saw in there was a part of that group we ran into at the mall... I was just...”

You interrupted Negan , “shhhhh...okay, I should have let you explain, before I decided to storm off... I was just scared of what you could do... to me."Negan looked into your eyes but you continued to say, "but I now know deep down that you were just trying to protect the others and me. But please no more secrets I want to know everything even if you think it will upset me.” Negan nodded to kissing your lips then replied,  “ I promise because there is no way in hell I could live without you or your sweet perfect ass!” you playfully pushed Negan. He responded, "Just kidding, well kind of but seriously doll, ever since I met you the thought of losing you drives me crazy because if anything were to happen I don't think I could ever truly live without you." You smiled looking into his hazel eyes agreeing with the man.  

Finally you got onto his motorcycle but before you started your new journey, Negan mentioned to you his interactions with the little girl requesting for him to save the sad princess. You replied to him saying, "even though this princess doesn't need saving... its nice to know there is someone out their willing to save her." You kissed Negan on the shoulder as he drove you off to your new life, once again.
