I think I liked you better when you didn’t have a knife in your hand, Peaches... Chapter 194- ‘Cause I’m Negan
When Blake finds herself sold out to the Saviours by her abusive fiancé, she realises that she’s certainly not on her own anymore and finds an unlikely friend in Negan. And Negan does NOT like men who beat their girlfriends, one tiny bit….
Chapter 194 - ‘Cause I’m Negan
[Blake and Negan have been stopped on the road home by a man holding a gun. Will they survive to make it back to the Sanctuary?]
Shit.
Five minutes ago they had just been enjoying a leisurely drive back to the Sanctuary and now here they were, with a man standing in the middle of the damn road holding a machine gun, which was now pointed directly at them through the windshield.
Blake swallowed hard, her green eyes flicking over to Negan who looked absolutely furious, his jaw set and his brow furrowed darkly.
"GET OUT!" yelled the man pointing the gun towards them in a thick voice, gesturing with his gun. "BOTH OF YOU."
The man before them was tall and well-built, with a slicked back brown hair, and bright beady eyes full of something malicious.
"Negan-" Blake said in a quiet voice, barely moving her lips as she spoke.
She didn't want to move. For she knew what their fate may be if they got out of this truck.
But perhaps they didn't have a choice, because before Blake could utter another word, a loud scream escaped her lips as the man fired his gun three times into the windshield between the pair of them, showering the interior of the truck in glass.
"SHIT!" yelled Negan, shielding his face and turning one way as Blake turned the other, trying to hide her face from both the bullets and the shards of falling glass.
"I SAID, GET OUT," shouted the man again in cool voice. "NOW. OR I'LL MAKE SURE I WON'T MISS THIS TIME."
Blake sat up again, swallowing hard and chancing another look at Negan.
The dark haired Saviour looked livid, his eyes full of rage and anger, glare fixed on the man before them.
But Blake knew him well enough by now, seeing the cogs turning inside his head, already working out a plan.
"Do as he fuckin' says, Darlin'," Negan muttered under his breath, not moving his eyes, but obviously feeling her gaze on him now. "An' jus' follow my lead."
Blake breathed hard but did as Negan said, her hands fumbling for the door handle and giving the truck door a slow shove open, as Negan, over her shoulder, did the same.
But she stepped out to find the truck now surrounded.
People of all shapes and sizes, varying in age and sex, likely fifteen in all, stood all around, with clenched fists and wary stares. But Blake quickly noted that none of them seemed to be carrying weapons, save for the brown-haired man up front, who spoke once again.
"Thaaaat's it," he said in a harsh drawl, sounding smug. "That wasn't so hard now was it?"
Blake gave a scowl at the arrogance in the man's voice, turning and stepping around the truck, noticing the tall and looming form of Negan, on the truck's left hand side, do the same.
But Negan's visible anger, that had been there just a few seconds ago, seemed to be gone, replaced now by something else completely.
And Blake could only lower her chin, hand resting on her belt, just over the sheath that her blade was housed in, as Negan spoke suddenly.
"Well damn, Son," came the dark-haired Saviour's very recognisable voice, ringing out clear across the quiet dirt road, loud enough for all the listening group to hear. "Did you really have to go shootin' up my shit like that? I mean, fuck, that leather upholstery in there was damn-near antique. Or at least it fuckin’ smelled like it anyway."
The man, with his gun still held aloft, blinked suddenly, looking slightly taken aback by Negan.
For who wouldn't be?
Blake was instantly taken back to her first run in with the man himself. So arrogant, so cocky. All traits which the brown haired man in front of them was trying to act like he had.
But Blake wasn't stupid. She knew what this was.
Her eyes flickered around to the people stood all around her.
No weapons.
Just a single gun between all of them.
All this… well, this was a poor attempt at intimidation. Something which the Saviours were good at. Really good at in fact. And Blake knew that if she had noticed that all this was indeed a front, that Negan, as quick as he was, would have certainly had to noticed it too.
For Negan was stood there, grinning widely now, looking as cool as cucumber, Lucille swinging back at forth in his gloved hand menacingly.
But the man just ignored him, pointing the barrel of the large machine gun directly at Negan's chest. He raised his chin, plastering a smirk onto his cracked lips.
"My name is Charles," the man finally said curtly, narrowing his beady eyes at Negan. "And these are my people."
He gestured with his gun at the folks standing all around them, giving a sneering smile as he did so.
"And I'm sorry to have to tell you, but we're here to take your shit..."
A crisp silence hung in the air at the man's words. Everything around them falling utterly still for a moment as no one moved…
...no one spoke…
...no one even breathed.
A second seemed to pass, then another, then another all of the people there, including Charles, waiting for a reaction.
And they got one.
Because suddenly, there came the loud sound of laughter from Blake's left, breaking through the quiet and the tension like a knife…
And the blonde woman almost rolled her eyes, knowing of course who that laughed belonged to.
"Well, shit, Charlie!" said Negan in an obnoxious voice, leaning back on his heels and pointing to the brown haired man with the gun, with the barbed end of Lucille. "That takes some fuckin' balls, standin' up me like that, actin' like a big boy, tellin' me you're gonna take, my, shit."
Negan looked Blake's way, staring at her incredulously, eyebrows practically in his hairline. "I mean did you fuckin' hear that, Peaches?" he said loudly. "Now I know how it feels to be the recievin' end, don' I? I mean I know Charlie-boy here ain't quite got the same badass-ness I have when I say it, but goddamn it, I AM IMPRESSED! Cause' as far as catchphrases go, that shit has it all. Menace, arm-twistin', harassment..."
This time Blake did roll her eyes, tutting audibly.
"This really the time to be stroking your own ego?" she asked bluntly, tilting her head to the side and eyeing him, causing Negan to merely laugh, pointing at her with his free hand.
"Well I was lookin' forward to havin' somethin' stroked today, Darlin'," he said flashing her a arrogant wink, showing off his perfect line of white teeth as he did so. "An' if it ain't my damn cock, I guess my ego has gotta be the next best thing!"
But Blake pursed her lips, giving yet another roll of her eyes, looking away and shaking her head.
"Listen….Buddy," cut in Charles, taking what he obviously thought was an intimidating step towards Negan. "I don't think you understand the peril of your current situation-"
Blake at this, lowered her chin and gazed over at Negan, eyeing him with interest.
For she knew Negan well enough to predict what his reaction was about to be...
And she was right...
For at this, Negan turned back towards the man, his wolf-like smile freezing onto his face, looking fixed and all of a sudden very, very cold.
The two men were stood just a few feet from each other now. And despite Charles being tall, Negan was taller, or at least he seemed it, on his long legs, with his bearded chin lifted, and his eyes as black as a shark's.
"You know who I am?" Negan growled out slowly, his voice now dark and deadly sounding.
But the man before him merely laughed starkly, looking about at his group, before his eyes flicked lazily back to Negan.
"Should I?" he spat, shifting his weight onto one hip and making a face, laughing again.
Blake from her vantage point could only blink calmly, knowing full well what was about to happen, her hand covertly moving to the leather pouch at her hip.
Everyone was looking at the two men now, watching, waiting…
And Negan sucked on his teeth for brief and quiet moment, before he took a sudden and unpredictable step into the man, the barrel of the gun pressing further into his taut chest…
...as his lips curved up into a dangerous smile.
"Oh you're really gonna wish you did...friend," he uttered out loud, in a deliciously dark tone.
"...'Cause I'm Negan."

Alone Together- Fall Out Boy
I don't know where you're going
But do you got room for one more troubled soul?
I don't know where I'm going
But I don't think I'm coming home and I said
I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead
This is the road to ruin
And we're starting at the end
Say yeah (yeah!)
Let's be alone together (yeah)
Dance, Dance- Fall Out Boy
She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "It can't get much worse"
Vs. "No one should ever feel like..."
Dance, dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Dangerous- Before You Exit
She's got a first time kiss that'll lock you in
She's gonna break your heart but you can't resist
I know that I just met her, I know I should know better
Oooo she's so dangerous
I thought she was just so innocent
And from the start I was giving in
She's such a wreck and I can't forget
That ooo she's so dangerous
Dirty Work- Halestorm
Get on your knees and let the games begin
Bow to your queen and I will crown your head
'Cause I can make you every inch a king
Before I do tell me, tell me what's in it for me?
I need someone young, willing and able
You need someone old enough to know better
EVOL- Marina and the Diamonds
It only takes two lonely people
To fuck love up and make it evil
It only takes a drop of evil
To fuck up two beautiful people
L.O.V.E. L.O.V.E.
L.O.V.E. E.V.O.L.
L.O.V.E., do you love me?
L.O.V.E., love is evil
Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker
Every kiss you give me makes me sicker
A day in the dark, a day in a cloud of gloom, yeah
For Reasons Unknown- The Killers
With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer.
I move a little bit closer.
For reasons unknown.
I caught my stride.
I flew and flied.
I know if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind.
But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to.
And my eyes, they don’t see you no more.
And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you no more.
For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.
Heroes- All Time Low
Yeah this is moving in the same direction
But I'm a little too spent to care
Cause it's a battlefield till it blows over
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
We're throwing stones though we live in glass houses
We talk shit like it's a cross to bear
You're only relevant until you get older
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, enemies closer
I Don’t Love You- My Chemical Romance
Well, when you go
So never think, I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
When you go
Would you even turn to say,
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday."
I Forgive You- Every Avenue
From you, I could throw my cares away
now I know how freedom taste and I
thank you for the pain cause now I
can deal with anything
You, you had a way of keeping me on my toes
I forgive you for the truth I liked you better
when you lied, and I forgive you being you
cause you were better when you faked every smile
I Miss the Misery- Halestorm
I've been a mess since you stayed
I've been a wreck since you changed
Don't let me get in your way
I miss the lies and the pain
The fights that keep us awake-ake-ake
I'm tellin you!
I miss the bad things
The way you hate me
I miss the screaming
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls
When it's your fault
I miss the late nights
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery!
Just The Way I’m Not- All Time Low
I'm a waste of chances,
Full of bad romances,
Your favorite enemy,
And your most hated friend.
When it hurts it hurts,
You wonder if it's worth it.
But when it works it works,
When it's broke it's perfect.
Woah oh!
Never seem to please you, no,
Don't you ever let me go,
I know your heart is shut, shut, shut.
And don't you know,
Nothing's gonna change us.
Kiss With a Fist- Florence + The Machine
My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees no blame
Your slaps don't stick
Your kicks don't hit
So we remain the same
Blood sticks, sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none
Whoa a kiss with a fist is better than none
Love is a Suicide- Natalia Kills
You like the smell of blood
When it's pumpin' like a factory
Ooh, you like your words to cut
You like to choose the best artillery
I wonder who you're thinkin' of
Who am I
Am I the epitome
Of everything you hate
And you desire
You love me like an enemy
It feels so surgical
How you dissect every mistake I make
Love Me Dead- Ludo
She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften, her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed...
Must be the sign on my head, it says
"Oh, love me dead!"
You're a faith-healer on tv
You're an office park without any trees
Corporate and cold, gushing for gold, leave me alone
Love me cancerously
Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da! Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da!
How's your new boy? Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of the beast
You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful!
Lovefool- The Cardigans
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do!
So I cry, and I pray, and I beg
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
The Luthors- Blake Neely
(instrumental)
Mama- My Chemical Romance
And when we go don't blame us, yeah.
We'll let the fire just bathe us, yeah.
You made us, oh, so famous.
We'll never let you go.
And when you go don't return to me my love.
Mama, we're all full of lies.
Mama, we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a coffin your size,
Mama, we're all full of lies.
Miss Murder- AFI
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.
We’re left to wonder why
He left us all behind.
Dreams of his crash won’t pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down.
Mz. Hyde- Halestorm
Good girl gone bad, my poison is your remedy
Better be scared, better be afraid
Now that the beast is out of her cage
And I know you
Wanna risk it
You know you
Are so addicted
Boy, you better run for your life
Never Surrender- Skillet
Do you know what it's like when
You're scared to see yourself?
Do you know what it's like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by?
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
Please Don’t Leave Me- Pink
I can be so mean when I wanna be,
I am capable of really anything,
I can cut you into pieces,
When my heart is broken.
Da da da da da
Please, don't leave me [2x]
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me
Sometimes- Skillet
Sometimes I don't wanna be better
Sometimes I can't be put back together
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
Sometimes don't deny
That everything is wrong
Sometimes rather die
Than to admit it's my fault
Sometimes when you cry
I just don't care at all
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but...
Starring Role- Marina and the Diamonds
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role
Sometimes I ignore you, so I feel in control
'Cause really, I adore you, and I can't leave you alone
Fed up with the fantasies that cover what is wrong
Come on, baby, let's just get drunk, forget we don't get on
Stop Me- Natalia Kills
Darling, darling
You know I never meant to drag you down
Standing at the bar with your scars and your lonely heart
So let's leave this dead-end town
If I, if I run away with you tonight, tonight
We could make the wrongs feel right, so right
We could do some damage
Tell Me I’m a Wreck- Every Avenue
I could have been easier on you
I could have been all you held onto
I know I wasn't fair, I tried my best to care about you
I know I could have been a better man
But I always had to have the upper hand
I'm struggling to see the better side of me
But I can't take all your jabs and taunts
You're pointing out my every fault
And you wonder why I walked away
Toxic- Britney Spears
Baby, can’t you see
I’m calling
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It’s dangerous
I’m fallin’
There’s no escape
I can’t wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You’re dangerous
I’m lovin’ it
Villain- Hedley
I'm so cold and far away from home
You're so tired and so damn alone
It's darker and much harder to be me
So far away from my reality
I hate the way you look, I'm looking back
I hate the way I look, you're looking too
I think maybe I'm just falling, falling, falling
And you kiss me like you know inside of me (let me lead you, let me follow)
And you watch me fight my own insanity (let me lead you, let me follow)
You Can Do Better Than Me- Death Cab for Cutie
I'm starting to feel
We stayed together out of fear of dying alone
I have to face the truth
That no one could ever look at me like you do
Like I'm something worth holding on to
There's times I think of leaving
But it's something I'll never do
'Cause you can do better than me
But I can't do better than you
Young God- Halsey
He says, "Oh, baby girl, you know we're gonna be legends
I'm the king and you're the queen and we will stumble through heaven
If there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes”
But do you feel like a young god?
You know the two of us are just young gods
And we'll be flying through the streets with the people underneath
And they're running, running, running
