~Ashley's Pov~
It was the same day. Daryl and i were outside. Earlier today i was with Enid, Sasha and Maggie. We went to go get Maggie checked out. We saw her baby. The doctor said the baby was healthy, Daryl and I were talking and somehow this conversation turned into us talking about Glenn. "It was my fault." He said sadly. I shook my head. "It's not." i said looking at him. He shook his head. "it was my fault. Glenn is dead because of me." he said. "Stop." i said looking at him with tears in my eyes.
He was crying. "Dwight gave me a picture of Glenn." He said as his voice broke and he sniffled. "Daryl stop.." I said. He was beating himself up over something that was not his fault. "His head- It was because of me." He said. I stood in front of him. He was sitting on the bench. "Maggie hates me." He said. "She doesn't hate you." I said. he shook his head and continued looking down. "Daryl she doesn't." I said.
He threw the knife to the ground causing it to stick out. "It should have been me." He said. I furrowed my eyebrows sadly and looked at him but he didn't look at me. "Don't say that. Don't you dare say that." I said angry but mostly sad. The thought of losing Daryl like that. My own blood.
"He would have been alive. Maggie's baby would have had a father." Daryl said. "And you would be dead. What do you think i would have been going through?" I asked him. "You would have been okay." He said. I shook my head. "I wouldn't. Daryl you're my brother." I said looking at him. I got off the table and stood in front of him. "Don't you ever say that to me. Please don't" I said shaking my head. He held my hand and pulled me in for a hug which he obviously needed.
I hugged him back. "That wasn't your fault." I said to him. He didn't say anything but he let go and picked up his knife. He walked away. I ran my hand through my hair and wiped away the tears in my eyes. "You okay?" I looked over to see Enid. "Yeah" I said. "You wanna talk about it?" She asked walking up to me. "Um... has Daryl talked to Maggie?" I asked. She shook her head sitting down next to me. "He hasn't even looked at her, Ever since Daryl came back he hasn't talk to her.. Why?" She asked me.
"He kept on telling me that it was his fault that Glenn died.." I said. She shook her head. "Maggie said it wasn't.." She said. I nodded. "It wasn't..." I said as flashbacks of glenn and Abraham dying by Negan's bat came flooding back. "I'm glad you weren't there..." I said not looking at her. We lost so many people now... She shook her head. "I'm sorry you were there, I know how much Glenn meant to you" She said. I nodded.
"Cmon" She said. We got up and went to Maggie's Trailer. Maggie was sitting down on the table. "hey" She said smiling. "hey" I said. "Are you gonna tell me what happened?" She asked. Enid looked at us. Sasha left. "The saviours came to Alexandria looking for Daryl." I said. I stayed quiet for a while trying to get the words to come out.. "Remember how i told you about my father?" I asked looking at her. She nodded looking me in the eyes. "He's alive.." I said looking at her. "what?" she asked confused.
"His name is Michael... He took me with them when they left, And i woke up in Negan's room with the cut" I said looking at her. "You said you saw him when this all began" She said. "I thought i did" I said looking at her. "i'm sorry" She said. I shook my head. "it's okay.. I just want to stay as far away from him as possible" I said. "what happened with your dad?" Enid asked. We looked over to her. "My father use to hurt me. He would hurt my brothers" I said. "Brothers?" she asked. "His name was Merle" Maggie said "Oh.. I'm sorry" Enid said. "It's okay" I said nodding.
~Next Day~
Daryl and i were outside on the same bench. I was playing around with my knife on the table tracing the lines on the wood. Daryl was playing around with his knife and a stick. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Nothin' " he said showing me the stick. We heard clanging. It made me jump a bit. We looked over. "The Saviours are coming!" a man yelled. My heart skipped a beat. I put my knife away. "We have to get Maggie." Enid said. "Where is she?" Daryl asked helping me down. "Cmon" Enid said. We took off running.
We got Maggie. "We'll never make it in time." Maggie said looking around. We heard the motors of the trucks. "Cmon" Enid said as we kept on running. "just stay down there. I'll keep them away" Enid said opening the door to the basement. Maggie and i went down. "They aren't the same ones that went to Alexandria." She said. The doors closed and we hid. Daryl stayed at the door while Maggie and i moved one of the shelves. "Daryl." Maggie said getting in. Daryl stayed looking out with his knife. "Daryl." Maggie said again. He kept looking. "Daryl." I said. After a few seconds he closed the door and came over. he put the shelve back how it was and we hid.
~~
After a while we heard footsteps. My heart rate picked up a bit as we all saw a man walk in the basement. Daryl had his knife out. He looked around and grabbed some things. He looked our direction and we hid low.. The man turned around and Daryl moved trying to lunge at him but Maggie and I stopped him. He grabbed the boxes and left. Daryl went to the door quickly and checked.
"He's gone" He said looking at the door. I walked out. "You were gonna kill that guy" Maggie said. Daryl kept on looking at the door. "he was gonna find us." He said now looking down. "He wasn't. And he didn't." Maggie said. Daryl stayed quiet for a while. "He deserved to die." Daryl said. "Ever since you got here. You haven't said a word to me. Would you look at me? Please?" Maggie asked.
I looked at Daryl. He looked down again and sniffled. He looked at Maggie. He was crying... Or about to cry... "Daryl..." Maggie said walking up to him. "I'm sorry..." He said as his voice cracked.. I looked at him sadly... "I'm sorry." He said again. I hated seeing Daryl like this... I shook my head a little. Maggie looked at Daryl, "It wasn't your fault." Maggie said. Daryl nodded. "it was...." Daryl said. I closed my eyes and looked down the slightest bit. You can hear the pain in his voice. "no. It wasn't. You're one of the good things in this world. That's what Glenn thought. And he would know because he was one of the good things too." Maggie said in the verge of crying too. I opened my eye in the middle of the sentence.
I was trying not to cry.. "And.. I wanted to kill that guy too.. I wanted to string them all up and watch them watch them die.. But we have to win." Maggie said as we all seemed to have calmed down a bit. She walked up to him and pulled Daryl in for a hug. "Help me win." She said hugging Daryl. he nodded. Maggie looked at me and nodded. I nodded a little.
