A few days later. At Alexandria.

I saw Lydia hiding at the clothing drying area and walked over to her. She was sitting on the ground, digging up worms.

Negan walked to her "You looking for a job, kid? "

yeah he's kinda welcomed in our community but also not. It's complicated.

Lydia "Just trying to clear my head. "

Negan "It's your third visit in a week. You keep it up, you're gonna find some socks with your name on 'em."

Lydia " Gage and his friends started again today."

Negan " Again? "

Lydia nodded.

Negan sighed "Alright, kid, look, obviously you're having a day, but, you know, what happened to rolling with it? "

Lydia shook her head "I'm not just gonna smile and take it. "

Negan "I didn't say that. But I also didn't say run and hide. I mean, shit. "

Lydia "You said to kill 'em with kindness. "

Negan kneeled down to her "I did say that. Look, they are trying to get a reaction out of you. They wanna see you upset. Don't give that to 'em. Screw 'em."

Daryl showed up " Let's go."

Lydia " I'm good. "

Daryl snapped "Now!"

Lydia walked away.

Negan " She is just trying to fit in. "

Daryl nodded, pissed off "Yeah. Well, that ain't ever gonna happen if she hangs out with you, now, is it?"

Then he grabbed my arm "and you're coming with me"

he dragged me away with him.

We walked behind Lydia.

Lydia "We were just talking. "

Darryl "He ain't your friend."

Lydia " He gets me. "

Daryl "Just stay away from him, alright? "

I grimaced "Daryl, you're hurting me"

He let go of me.

I asked irritated "the hell is wrong with you?"

Then my jaw dropped when is saw what was painted on the door

"SILENCE THE WHISPERERS"

I walked behind the house. Lydia had gutted a raccoon at the eating hall. Every single one of her bullies told her she was disgusting. I thought it was a great move.

Daryl "You do wanna live here, right? "

Lydia "They deserved it. "

Daryl nodded "I know. But you can't be doing shit like that"

Lydia asked irritated " But they can just write whatever the hell they want on our door? "

Daryl "I'll talk to 'em. I'll set 'em straight. "

Lydia shook her head "No, please. I don't want you to fight my fights for me, okay? They want me to give up. I know that. But I'm not gonna, okay? - I can't. - "

Daryl nodded "I get it. Can't you just avoid 'em?"

Lydia sighed and walked away.

Daryl sighed "great"
