Flashback: 14 DAYS BA
Negan sat in silence for a while, watching his fatally ill wife sleeping. Actually, he wasn't known to be in a melancholic mood. He even didn't know if he was right now or what he really felt. But now he knew one thing for sure - why he hadn't come here before. Because he hated to be here, to see Lucille this way. Eaten by this son of a bitch called cancer. And yet he forced himself to be here today. He wouldn't allow her illness to have control over him. Not anymore. Negan sighed, shaking off this sudden melancholy. He turned his attention away from her and instead let his eyes wander through the little hospital room, while his hands were sinking into the pockets of his black leather jacket. "Ohh", he suddenly exclaimed, as his visual tour came to a stop at the table next to him. Flowers, lots of chocolate and some cards were decorating it. Negan grabbed one box of chocolates and opened it without hesitating. While he chewed her wife's sweets, at least a part of them, he reached out for one of the cards. "Look what we have here, Lucille.", he said with a sarcastic grin. " We wish you a lot of strength and sending love your way", Negan started to read the card's text out loud, sinking into his seat like he was one disrespectful teenager at school's rearmost seat row. "On the brink to heave my guts up. Oh wow, wait, it's getting better! You KNOW we're ALWAYS THERE for you. In love, mom and dad." He couldn't help it but let out an amused laughter. What a pair of hypocrites. Hadn't that have been the same mom and dad giving her the cold shoulder when the two of them had decided to get married some years ago? Negan rumpled the card and threw it straight through the room. Neganbanner

Hospital appointments. Shower. Eat. Sleep.
These very four things were what consisted of Ingrid's routine, which seemed to be on a never ending loop for some time now since her step-sister Lucille reconnected with Ingrid and the rest of the family and shocked them with unfortunate news of her terminal cancer diagnosis. Years of two best friends allowing a man to estrange them from one another became nothing more than the past as Ingrid sold her business and made the best effort she could to be there for her sister every waking moment of her slowly declining life. Ingrid felt that she owed it to Lucille as the guilt from years of separation ate at her every being, especially now that she realized the amount of time they had together on this earth that she took for granted.
Every step of the way, from consultations to chemotherapy appointments, Ingrid was there through the whole journey with Lucille. They certainly had their good days where they could make the most of the time they spent together closely. They also trucked on through the thick mud of the bad moments when Lucille's body became full of pain and agony from the chemo. Things got especially rough when Lucille suspected an affair happening within her marriage to her husband Negan after days and nights of being a complete no show at home and at all of her appointments.
Now here Ingrid was, standing in the middle of the hospital bathroom staring deep into her own reflection in the mirror. A tissue mopped up her tear stained cheeks as she attempted to pull herself together. It had been a week since Lucille's illness took a turn for the worst as the last of life within Lucille started to fade, leaving no other choice but to start hospice care to make her feel comfortable within the time she had left. Ingrid studied her reddened eyes and her swollen face as she took some deep breaths. Mental and physical exhaustion overcame her being as she realized just how much sleep she had lost within the past week. "Coffee...man, I could really use a coffee," Ingrid thought to herself for a moment. No. There was no time to selfishly waste, not while her sister's life held on by the fragile thread it was on.
"Be strong, Ingrid. Have strength in times where Lucy can't. Be the rock she needs," She whispered to herself as she let out an exasperated exhale before examining and fixing herself one last time before she went back to Lucille.
Ingrid walked down the halls of the hospital, keeping her gaze to her two feet that moved swiftly as she made her way back to the room that Lucille had been staying in the past little while. Ingrid thought about the way Lucille had looked when she had left the room last, and although Lucille looked sound asleep Ingrid knew the pain and turmoil her weakened body was going through as it was near end of the battle. Ingrid forced away the lump that swelled in her throat as she was soon approaching the room, remembering that she had to hold it together. She had to exert her strength and be the sister that Lucille needed her to be right now.
Coming up along the wall of the hallway, Ingrid was almost at the room. Her steps slowed to a momentarily halt as she had heard a man's booming voice come from Lucille's room. A visitor? Couldn't be any of Ingrid's family, for they were at home tending to the twins who had fallen violently ill. Suddenly, Ingrid's stomach had twisted into the biggest knot possible as she had figured out the only other person it could be...Negan.
Ingrid had never met Negan, only heard stories. Stories by her parents of him being a negative influence and keeping Lucille away from her own family. Stories by Lucille of how he betrayed her in her time of need and blatantly cheated on her. Ingrid knew enough to know that this man did not deserve to be in that hospital room. Ingrid felt the blood boil within her veins as she found the efforts within her to walk into the frame of that door to face the rugged bully, sitting over his wife.
"Well now..." Ingrid hissed as she slowly crossed her arms, her brow furrowed. She didn't even know what she would say to Negan in their first enounter, but she had been waiting for this moment for a really long time, "Look who finally decided to show up."

Negan was just about to read out another card when the noise of an opening door suddenly kept him from doing so. He let the card sink into his lap, turning his attention to the incomer instead. A young woman he has never met before, but exactly knew who she was.
"Well now...""Look who finally decided to show up."
Negan gave her an uninterpretable grin, his fingers tracing a beard line where no one was, not more than stubbles at least. "Ingrid, isn't it?", he assumed, eying her for a moment. Negan was no fool, so he didn't have to think about it for long. The prejudice sent his way told him she was part of Lucille's family. Their visible age difference pointed to the fact it couldn't be no other than her youngest step-sister. So here they were, face-to-face from two different sides of Lucille's beloved.
In slow movement Negan got up from his chair to approach her, having one hand slack in his trousers pocket. "Have heard a lot about you. For example... you and the rest of this FAMILY OF THE YEAR", he stated sarcastically with his other hand pointing at the greeting cards behind. "not have talked to her for... YEARS, right?" He grinned once again. "Then she suffers from this shit and you're all losing yourself in nursing her like nothing ever happened. I'm impressed how much assholes can be in only one family."

"Ingrid, isn't it?"
Ingrid's composure had become frozen with fury in the doorway as Negan walked closer and closer, until his stocky build towered over her like a skyscraper. Ingrid's reddend eyes followed his movement,noticing the swagger in his walk and the disgustingly sarcastic way he talked...Ingrid had only just met him and within those seconds of introductions, Negan seemed to live up to the little expectations she held him up to be.
"Have heard a lot about you. For example... you and the rest of this FAMILY OF THE YEAR" "not have talked to her for... YEARS, right?""Then she suffers from this shit and you're all losing yourself in nursing her like nothing ever happened. I'm impressed how much assholes can be in only one family."
Ingrid's skin prickled as her body temperature rose. Anger fueled her veins everytime Negan opened his stupid mouth, spewing nothing but big words for such a small man. A coward, really.
"I won't deny the stupidity of myself and my parents. What went down between us and Lucy wasn't cool at all and should have been resolved long before she fell sick," Ingrid admitted as it was the truth. All of the years of being disconnected was nothing but a waste, but there was nothing she could do about it now but to just be there for Lucille. "But you seem to be all talk, sitting on your pedestal of high and mighty when you are just as guilty for being a shitty person to her." Ingrid stood her ground as she stared straight back into Negan's face, ready to unveil the scared little man behind the mask.

Negan had listened to her words without any interruption. But when Lucille's sister had come to the end of her little counterargument, his stony features suddenly gave place to an amused grin, followed by a noisy chuckle. His chuckle and the pause between the two of them were hanging in the air for some more moments until Negan raised a word for his part again.
"Look at this! Lady with nuts.", he chuckled once again, while his body bent over her in a macho way. "And I don't just say so because of your fire-spitting my way. But to confess you weren't acting cool absolutely needs a pair of nuts." Negan leaned a little closer to her. "As for my own pair, here's my confession: I. am. a. shitty. husband.", he stated slowly pronounced and with his arms splayed, letting a short pause follow before he continued with a lowered voice. "But here's a question for you... Could you seriously fully enjoy screwing a terminally ill person?" Negan knew this would aggravate the shit out of her and exactly was the reason why he had decided for this choice of words. Fun.

"But here's a question for you... Could you seriously fully enjoy screwing a terminally ill person?"
Ingrid's full intent was to be as reasonable to this man as possible, knowing the pain he had caused Lucille. Yet, when he took his foot and overstepped the line, her blood began to boil. Her entire body shook with absolute fury at his insensitive comment as she attempted to contain her whole being. But her next reaction had arrived so fast that neither one of them truly knew what had exactly happened. Ingrid's dainty hand rapidly came in contact with the side of Negan's stubbled cheek, creating a sound that seemed to echo through the entire hospital.
" That's my sister, you coward," Ingrid's voice spoke low but was packed with anger. Her bottom lip quivered as her eyes welled up with a fresh spring of tears.

It has happened before either one of them truly knew, even though it had been for damn sure it would have happened.
"That's my sister, you coward,"
The echo of her bitchslap was still resounding in his ears when Negan slowly turned his head back to her. His first expression may have been sort of stern, but then happened to change to actually something like a silent compliment, until he gave it a sound.
"Holy crap! Now, that look of you gave me the heebie-jeebies!", Negan stated obviously impressed by Ingrid's fire, while his body bent into an enthusiastic shape for a moment. That was though before he had noticed the spring of tears welling up in her eyes. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings that much. After all, it was her sister and his wife he had been joking about.
Negan let out one deep sigh. "Okay... Ingrid..., that was a sick joke, c'mon.", he suddenly said more sensitive or at least less like a total jerk. It really had been a sick joke. One of those even Lucille wouldn't have had a chuckle for, and she had been used to his sense of humor for quite some time already.

Holy crap! Now, that look of you gave me the heebie-jeebies!",
Ingrid's gaze fell away from Negan towards the inside of the room as she tried to keep herself together as best as she could. How could this man joke about the person in this world that he vowed to love and honor until death while she lay in the same room, too sick and helpless to defend herself? This whole situation made Ingrid sick to her stomach as she looked upon her frail looking sister, sound asleep in the hospital bed.
" You know what' a sick joke? That she is suffering from this fucked up cancer in the first place. And if that wasn't enough for her to handle physically, her heart broke every day when I had to tell her that you weren't coming home. And every night, through all the pain and suffering she would cry out for you. Begging to be with you," Ingrid's voice quivered as her piercing, reddened eyes turned back to Negan's. " Lucy"s not stupid, she knew a long while ago that you were screwing behind her back. But after knowing that, after all the heartbreak you caused her...she still loves you." Ingrid said in a surprised tone as she shook her head slowly back and forth.

Negan listened to her speech in silence, a real disquieting serious expression replacing the usual malicious joy on his face. And even though there was nothing new in these words, it somehow hurt to hear somebody actually saying them. It surprisingly really fucking did. And yes... that had been the sickest joke of all.
There had passed some more minutes, until his facial features were easing a little bit, at least looking less like he was going to kill somebody, even though that wasn't exactly the feeling behind.
"You might be right with everything you're saying.", Negan eventually stated, leaning closer to her, not flinching from looking straight into her eyes. He had nothing to hide after all. "But don't you think you would know me. Don't you even think you would fucking completely know HER. It needs more than a god damn blood relationship to know someone." Technically speaking, In this case, there even wasn't a relationship of blood, but that was not the point anyway. "But most especially", Negan added more quietly though not less emphatically, while he walked one last step closer to Ingrid, having overstepped the personal comfort zone by now. "don't you think you would know US." And with that, he meant Lucille and himself.
Without waiting for any reaction from her, as he didn't care for one anyway, Negan passed her and walked outside the door, raising his left hand to a silent goodbye when his back had been already turned to her.
***Negan exits***

I know enough about you to know that you don't deserve her.
Before Ingrid could say this or anything further in her raging rampage, Negan made his rapid exit as he walked down the hallway away from her to god knows where. What a coward. Baffled about how quickly he exited their conversation, Ingrid had a feeling that it would be continued, whenever the hell that would be. Due to his previous absences, Ingrid did not expect Negan to return to the hospital, not anytime soon to say the least. Letting out a breathy exhale, Ingrid felt as if she could breathe again as she pulled herself together. She walked across the room, taking the seat beside Lucille that Negan had formerly been sitting in. Staring down at Lucille, Ingrid thought about the things Negan had said before he left, how Ingrid did not completely know Lucille. Her own sister. Well, she was sad to admit that the asshole might be right on that one.
"Do any of us truly deserve you?" Ingrid whispered gently, her words filled with sorrow. She mourned for the life they used to share together and for the last few years. Years of useless pain and disconnection. If only Ingrid could go back in time....extending her hand, Ingrid gently caressed the top of Lucille's pale hand with her fingertips as she buried herself deep within reminiscence of the confrontation with Negan, playing it over in her head.

Lucille - tempplay by DarkSideCookie - Lucille felt like sleeping, even when she was awake. Sometimes she even didn't know if she really was awake. If the voices, sounding somewhere in his head, did come from real people or if they already were the start of a life after. Lucille had never been exactly a religious person though. Whenever her parents had dragged her into church, she did obey with a smile, while during mass thoughts of whatsoever had coming up into her mind. In fact, she had a lot of memories like that regarding her family. Kind of situations, in which she had felt the wish to break out of a pattern. To speak up only once to say 'Hey! This is not me!'. But despite these thoughts sometimes had come up, she always was the good girl, because the love she felt for her parents had always been stronger than the wish to break out. Later, it actually hadn't bothered her so much anymore. Good and accepting. So actually no wonder her whole family had been shocked, when she eventually fell in love with a man being the absolute opposite of her and at the same time being not. Negan. The classic example of a bad and unaccepting person. But then, Lucille never had looked at him that way. Instead, she always had been able to see the heart behind all that offending and bullying. His actual refreshing, even if sometimes a little bit too inappropriately, sense of humor. Her ability to have a look behind and above all to forgive must have been the reason their relationship actually functioned. At least until fate had foiled what they have had over and over again. But still, after all those lonely hours, after all this crying about Negan not have been there for her in times she had needed him the most because he somehow hadn't been able to deal with it, she had never been able to hate him. She still was loving that man. That man everyone else was hating. "Ingrid...", a quiet broken voice was suddenly speaking up, filling the cold hospital room with another sign of life. Lucille's eyes were still closed, but she knew her sister was there, feeling the gentle touch in her hand.

Ingrid became startled out of her own little world, letting out a slight gasp as her gaze snapped back up to Lucille who's eyes were still closed but slowly started to wake in the hospital bed.
"Lucy," Ingrid spoke in a hushed tone despite her surprised expression, leaning closer towards her sister, " I'm right here Lucy. Anything you need, I'm here for you." Ingrid spoke devotedly as she gazed down at her, clasping both hands around Lucille's.

Lucille - tempplay by DarkSideCookie - "Lucy," A faint smile appeared on Lucille's lips, as she heard her sister's voice. It felt good to awake with someone being there. And of course not only someone. Ingrid was one of the most important persons in her life. After everything they had gone through in the past - she always had been family. "I'm right here Lucy. Anything you need, I'm here for you.""I know...", she answered with now opened eyes, while her fingers gently stroked in Ingrid's palm. She was thankful to know her sister here every day, In every hour she would have awakened alone without her, but inwardly though Lucille felt like a burden. Her sister was young and healthy and shouldn't sacrifice her own life for someone dying. Yes, dying. She knew the day would come and could come soon. After a long pause of silence, Lucille turned her head to the side, watching the little mess on the bedside cabinet. "Has... someone been here?", she suddenly asked, a spark of hope in her broken voice. She was as if there would have been voices, while she was sleeping. And now that little chaos on the cabinet. Could it be any possible...

Ingrid stared down at Lucille who appeared to be graciously smiling back at her. They basked in the silence for a moment more, as time for these precious moments of just being in the presence of one another was running short. Swallowing the lump in her throat, Ingrid smiled at her sister as she persevered to remain as strong as she could for Lucille.
"Has... someone been here?"
Ingrid's smile slowly receded. Did Lucille hear them? Did she know?... A pair of empty wrappers were strewn along the side table that had caught Lucille's gaze. Ingrid wanted more than anything in the world for Lucille to be happy, for her end of days to be full with no sorrow or regret. However, with what Negan had strolled in and said earlier, all of those hurtful things that had spouted from his mouth...she couldn't bare to see her sister become hurt by her husband any more than she already had been.
"No," Ingrid spoke sadly as she quickly scooped up the wrappers and threw them in the nearby trash, " It's just been me." Ingrid had a feeling that Negan had come to pay his dues and wouldn't return. Why would he? All Lucille appeared to be to him now was just a terminally ill person. She returned to Lucille's bedside as she put the attention back to her sister. " You slept for a while, you must be thirsty. Would you like some water?" Ingrid asked as she straightened Lucille's blanket.

Lucille - tempplay by DarkSideCookie - In her recumbent position Lucille wasn't able to see her sister's smile receding, but the sudden silence, plunging the anyway icy room into kind of a glacier cave, made her imagine. She held her breath for some seconds, her heartbeat rising. "No,"No, Lucille repeated inwardly. Of course not. She breathed out, the beat of her heart slowly regularized. What was she expecting after all? What was she actually waiting for? For him, throwing stones at her window, while a ghettoblaster was playing their song? No, that wasn't kind of their story. Not the way of telling, nor the happy ending. They even didn't have a song. But why was she still waiting? It was hopeless, wasn't it? Wasn't it? Somehow she wished there was a voice answering her to that. But then, she already knew the answer, didn't she? Didn't she?"... must be thirsty. Would you like some water?Lucille's head turned to her sister. She hadn't even noticed her own absentminded look out of the window before. She forced herself to a smile, not a false one though, before she slightly nodded her head. "Thank you, Ingrid." "How are Shannon and Debbie?", she eventually asked after Ingrid had received the glass of water to place it back on the table next to them. Lucille was worried about the twin's sudden illness. And even if everybody seemed to avoid talking about it, there was this upcoming feeling that something was going on. Something really terrible. She heard doctors and nurses mentioning a real emergency situation. She just hoped their sisters were alright.

With a nod and a smile, Ingrid turned around and was about to relieve herself from the room to fetch a drink for Lucille as well as a gasp of air to ground her back down to somewhat sanity, until Lucille attempted to open yet another can of worms.
"How are Shannon and Debbie?"
Ingrid's gaze dropped down to her dirt laced runners as brief silence filled the room once more. She knew very well that she couldn't spare Lucille on this one, as she knew that Lucille had somewhat of an idea that something bad was brewing outside the walls of the hospital. It had been brewing for a few weeks now, and it seemed to grow worse real quick.
"Not good, Lucy." Ingrid's voice flowed gently as sorrow and confusion surrounded her words, her gaze turning back to Lucille, "And it's not just them. It's millions of people, all over the country," Ingrid thought about everything that she had been hearing about this mysterious virus, " All of the news reports that the nation is doing everything in their power to find a cure and to control it. But even then....." She knew the country was on the verge of a nationwide state of emergency, Ingrid could feel it. And the danger that the rest of her families lives were in wrenched her heart as she couldn't possibly bear to lose anyone else. " Something bigger than us is going on here. Something that they're not telling us about. And whatever it is, it's about to hit us at full speed," Ingrid didn't want to frighten or scare Lucille, but she had every right to know what was going on outside of their little bubble here in the hospital room. At that, Ingrid's frightened eyes diverted away from her sister as she continued to make her exit out of the hospital room.

Lucille - tempplay by DarkSideCookie - And another minute of awkward silence was filling the room. Lucille tried to raise her head enough to be able to see her sister's face. The funereal expression on it meant no good. Lucille already had accepted her own approaching death, even though that didn't mean she was good to go, but couldn't she accept her family's death. And above all not the twins'. They had more than half a life ahead; They should have. And when Ingrid spoke up again, she confirmed what had been her apprehension. "Not good, Lucy." Their eyes met, sorrow readable in both of them. "And it's not just them. It's millions of people, all over the country," So it was the truth. An epidemic was spreading. "All of the news reports that the nation is doing everything in their power to find a cure and to control it. But even then....." ... there was no warranty of rescue., Lucille ended her sister's sentence in mind. She wished there was anything she could do. But most of all did she wish to not take up the family's strength any longer. "Something bigger than us is going on here. Something that they're not telling us about. And whatever it is, it's about to hit us at full speed," Lucille took notice of Ingrid's inner fear and wished she was able to do something about it. But unfortunately, she wasn't. Her head slowly turned to the door's direction, as she watched her sister walking out the door. She couldn't do anything. And that was the worse of all.

*** One day later ***
Negan sat in silence, watching Lucille's chest slowly going up and down. It had been just yesterday when he swore her illness would never have control over him. When he was facing the reason for his absence. To see her this way really sucked ass. But after all, he had come back here, even though this probably meant her illness yet had control over him. So be it. "I'm sorry, Lucille...", he stated whisper-like, knowing her still sleeping. Negan buried his head in his hands for some moments. Neganbanner

Simmering hot coffee dropped down into the medium sized paper cup that Ingrid gripped on to steadily. The hospital cafeteria seemed abnormally quiet that morning as the humming sound of the coffee machine seemed to vibrate through the room, with only a couple of patients and staff scattered about. Since the breakout of the mysterious virus, E.R's and rooms had been more packed than ever leaving waiting rooms and the cafeteria flooded with dozens upon dozens of family members and friends. Though whether it was scarce or bustling, Ingrid wouldn't have noticed anyways as she zoned out into her own bubble of fatigue in front of the machine. Sleepless nights had become the normal reality for Ingrid's family ever since the twins became ill, even more so last night as Ingrid and her family had heard global reports - rumors of the first few cases of this illness turning people rabid and insane. Almost zombie-like. Even though no cases had been reported in the U.S yet, Ingrid couldn't help but to become sickly worried that this result could be a possibility. Her drooping eyes widened suddenly as hot coffee began to over flow her cup, skimming over the side of her hand. With the cup still in hand, Ingrid jolted her hand away as coffee made a slight spill on the counter. "Damn it," Ingrid uttered, feeling completely stupid for not paying attention as she grabbed some napkins from the condiments table and mopped up the mess as well as her hand which smarted slightly but didn't hurt too bad at the moment. Exhaustion had plagued her whole being, but yet she still felt that she had a duty to do, a debt to be paid. Inhale, exhale. Ingrid gave herself a moment to compose herself before swiping her coffee from the counter and heading up to Lucille's room.
Spending time with Lucille had become the light in Ingrid's dreary days, and although Lucille had been in rough shape as of late she still remained selfless and always concerned herself with Ingrid's well being instead of her own. Thinking of this, a thankful smile grew slowly across her face as she rummaged through her the bag on her shoulder to pull out a novel, Lucille's favorite from when she was younger. After the downer mood from the day before, Ingrid felt that some smiles were in order.
"Lucy, you won't believe what I found in the tattered boxes in the attic the other day-" Ingrid began to say cheerfully as she entered the hospital room, only to stop in her tracks in front of a man with his face buried into his hands. "Oh," Ingrid said in shock before her surprised face flexed to an annoyed expression as she placed the book on the side table, not breaking contact with the bully from yesterday. He was back, but why? Ingrid was itching to find out Negan's motive. "So now you've decided to commit to being here, eh? Must be nice to be able to pick and choose when to give a shit," Ingrid said without thinking, taking a sip of her coffee cup which still sat in one of her hands.

"Lucy, you won't believe what I found in the tattered boxes in the attic the other day-", suddenly a voice, all too familiar since yesterday, broke in the silence between him and his sleeping wife. Negan's head raised up from his hands to have a look at Lucille's little sister, staring right back at him. He saw surprise, mixed with the usual amount of despite he was used to, in her eyes. "Oh," It didn't take her more than a second though, to change her expression to annoyance. Well, he should be the one being annoyed, shouldn't he? After all, it was her every time barging in their sweet little private space here.
"Oh.", Negan returned her welcome greeting with a slightly amused smile. Actually, a smile combining two feelings not really getting along well, gaiety and frustration. His eyes followed Ingrid's move to place the book on the side table, while she wasn't breaking eye contact at all.
"So now you've decided to commit to being here, eh? Must be nice to be able to pick and choose when to give a shit," Negan turned his attention from the table back to her. A quiet chuckle left him before he fully swang around in her direction with his hands crossed behind the back of his head. "Mission uncovered."
He gave her a provoking look, while he straightened himself up to walk over to the side table. A quick smile appeared on his lips, as he picked up the novel Ingrid had brought along, wordless reading the book's title. A Neverending Story. Yes, that was quite the kind of story Lucille would have read. The smile vanished as fast as it had come, and at last Negan turned around to Ingrid once again, only to watch her in silence for another moment.
"Anything else?", he eventually asked, as if she was the uninvited guest in here, his lips already formed to the addition of saying No? Then please grant me some time alone with my wife.; Without the please.

"Mission uncovered,"
Ingrid rolled her eyes as Negan stood up and waltzed over her way. She stared at him with caution as he approached her personal bubble, watched his next moves. Watched his smug grin wash away as he eyed Lucille's favourite story. How can he just walk in here, like nothing has happened ? Like nothing has changed ?
"Anything else?"
Ingrid could find a million things to say to him. She itched to express how she viewed him, as nothing more than the low life bastard who cheated on her sister, his loving wife. "Yeah actually," Ingrid started as she looked up into his face, in an almost whispering tone "Why are you here, Negan ? You don't come around for months, and now you're here. Why now?" Ingrid raised both hands at each side in question as she was also curious to know. The way he had come and left Lucille's life, It wasn't fair, none of this was.

"Yeah actually,"
At that Negan's eyes widened in a mocking way, coping with the intense eye contact she had on him. Down to the present day, there had been no one intimidating him with anything. Not since the day he had seen his monster of a father bleeding out in front of his young boy's eyes; By his own hands.
"Why are you here, Negan? You don't come around for months, and now you're here. Why now?"
Negan's facial expression hardened, which might let one think that her words actually affected him. "Fair question." But that was before he came even closer, again this smug grin on his lips, and answering in a whispering tone himself. "Maybe because I think it's just nice to be able to pick and choose when to... give. a. shit." He leaned back again, as his tongue was playing around his lip.
Negan watched her kind of studying for another moment before he started a question in return. "Now to you, dear sister. Why are you here?" He pointed with one finger in her direction or actually more very close to her face even. "I can't remember to have ever seen you in all the years. Why now?" He couldn't suppress that mocking smile that still lay on his lips, while he was giving the same question with purposefully almost the same wording that she had made use of back at her.

"Maybe because I think it's just nice to be able to pick and choose when to... give. a. shit."
Ingrid's hands fell to her sides, one placed on each hip as she continued to stare at the brute as he continued to run his mouth, her gaze remaining stone cold. She wouldn't let him have the audacity of getting a rise out of her, not today.
"Now to you, dear sister. Why are you here?" "I can't remember to have ever seen you in all the years. Why now?"
Ingrid didn't flinch, despite the finger being waved obnoxiously in front of her face. She knew they couldn't go back and forth playing the blame game forever of who wronged Lucille the most. Ingrid let out a nasally sigh as she finally broke eye contact, staring down at the book between them. " I'm here because I made a mistake in hurting someone I loved the most in this world," Ingrid started, her fingertips tracing the outer edge of the worn novel, "And at first, when I starting visiting Lucille everyday since her diagnosis and started to help out...I couldn't figure out what I had been feeling. In the beginning, I convinced myself that it was out of guilt. Which made me feel like a shitty person, it really did. But when we bonded like the sisters we used to be, I realized that the reason why I was here now was because deep down in my heart, I know that that she would do the same for me," Ingrid spoke from her heart as her gaze peeped up at her sister who was fast asleep, "We're sisters, and we always will be."
Her gaze traveled from Lucille back up to Negan, "And I know you talk like nothing hurts you, like you can take on the world, but I can see your bruises. Someone has hurt you, broken you even and you feel like there's no other choice to build walls and protect yourself. Even if that includes hurting the people you love," Ingrid slowly crossed her arms, "And honestly, if it wasn't Lucy that was caught in your shit storm, I would almost pity you."

There was a sign of triumph seeable on his face, as Ingrid lost their little staring game. Not a game, but a demonstration of who was the stronger. If that was a game though, Negan would have his proper place on top of the highscore list.
Negan lastly followed her look down at the book between them, as she suddenly started to open her heart to him. "I'm here because I made a mistake in hurting someone I loved the most in this world,""And at first, when I starting visiting Lucille every day since her diagnosis and started to help out...I couldn't figure out what I had been feeling. In the beginning, I convinced myself that it was out of guilt. Which made me feel like a shitty person, it really did. But when we bonded like the sisters we used to be, I realized that the reason why I was here now was because deep down in my heart, I know that that she would do the same for me,""We're sisters, and we always will be."
And this time her words actually affected him. There was something in them he knew all too best. Not even something, but everything. His teeth grind in his jaw while he was listening to them. And this expression even remained when her eyes turned back to him at last.
"And I know you talk like nothing hurts you, like you can take on the world, but I can see your bruises. Someone has hurt you, broken you even and you feel like there's no other choice to build walls and protect yourself. Even if that includes hurting the people you love,""And honestly, if it wasn't Lucy that was caught in your shit storm, I would almost pity you."
Negan watched her with a stern look for one moment longer. The two of them were actually alike. Usually, he wasn't someone pouring out his heart to anyone except Lucille, but what the heck. "You seem to be good at reading others. Got some stuff read out from the Negan book even. But with something you were completely wrong." He made a short pause, not breaking eye contact though. "I'm not building walls. In fact, I'm the one breaking them. My bruises didn't make me become the timid fawn. They made me become the big bad wolf. Believe it or not, I really am the asshole right here in front of you. No walls, no self-protecting. And never did I give a shit about it. Never that was... before I met your sister." He paused again, this time him being the one who lost the staring game. "She... made me see things. Myself and other people. With her I could be a better person. And I suddenly gave a shit. About her. About us... But after all..., I am still who I was, with the only difference of now hating myself to have hurt the only one I loved in this world." There were signs of tears in his eyes that were telling everything he said was the truth. Negan made no move to hide them. That was because he didn't give a shit... for nothing except Lucille.

Lucille - tempplay by Ariel - Lucille's subconscious faded in and out of her medically induced sleep. These days, she wasn't sure how long she had been sleeping for, but to even achieve some sort of rest amidst the pain that cursed her body was sure something. Voices and words swirled her mind, but they weren't her own.
"She... made me see things.... With her I could be a better person..... only difference of now hating myself to have hurt the only one I loved in this world."It was her husband's voice, but only that could be a dream. Negan had abandoned "until death do us part" long ago, and even though he left her broken and alone with so much pain, her heart still belonged to him. She would give anything to see him again, to be with him again. Wrapped in his arms, wanted. Loved. Coming back into the hospital room from wherever she was, Lucille's eyes fluttered open at the warm feeling of the presance of two beings standing nearby. She sat in silence for a minute, not moving an inch. Was she really dreaming ? "Negan?" Lucille finally let sound into the room as she appeared shocked, as right before her was him.

Ingrid did ot expect to have stood there and listened to every word Negan said, yet here they were. And here she was, as her hardened gaze softened slightly. For once, the brutish bully appeared to act somewhat human. Ingrid hated to think it, but it seemed that they were in the same boat although their situations were different.
"Negan?"
Ingrid snapped over to her sister, noticing that her husband had indeed come. Without thinking, Ingrid rushed to Lucille's bedside in almost a protective stance. "Lucy....how are you feeling? What do you need?"

"Negan?"
Negan grew stiff at the sound of the broken voice filling the silence that had expanded after he had actually poured out his heart to his wife's little sister. Negan's eyes had been closed at the end of his little confession. So now he was still standing there with his back turned to Lucille, as he heard Ingrid passing him to rush over to her sister's bedside. The place actually he should be. He should have been the last couple of months.
"Lucy....how are you feeling? What do you need?"
Why was it so hard to turn around now? Had he intended to come here to watch her sleeping only? No, it really was on time to face the truth. To face their bitchy fate.
And so Negan turned, his eyes open, still filled with tears not running down by now. There was Ingrid seeing him this way as well, but he didn't give a shit.
"Lucille.", he let out in an almost whispered way.

Lucille - tempplay by Ariel - Lucille noticed Ingrid rushing to the bedside like the loyal sister she had become, however she could not tear her gaze away from Negan who seemed to have froze where he stood. She feared that if she looked away for just an inking that he would fade away like a mirage in the middle of a barren desert. Nonetheless, this was all very real, and Negan standing before her in a nervous wreck was truly right before her. "Lucy...how are you feeling? What do you need?"Lucille's eyes welded up with fresh tears of happiness as she managed to break into a joyous smile "I need my husband," Lucille's longing voice cracked slightly as a lump grew in her throat, " Ingrid, you've been so good to me. I could never thank you for everything that you've done. But if I could have a moment with Negan alone?" Lucille finally broke her sight off of Negan to turn to her sister.

At Lucille's request, Ingrid looked towards Negan for a brief moment and then back to her sister. With the stories she had heard of how he had mistreated her and of the abandonment, Ingrid was almost afraid to leave her vulnerable sister with Negan. But nonetheless, Lucille was her sister and during these dire times she owed it to Lucille to fulfill every request. With an agreeing nod, Ingrid hesitantly left the room only to go as far as behind the frame of the door, just in case.
