Waiting Forever
(3rd POV)
"I was nobody, nothing, just some redneck asshole with an even bigger asshole for a brother." Daryl picked at the wooden banister he sat on, avoiding eye contact with Beth. They had been together since the prison fell, going through arguments and violence and walkers, until Beth decided she needed a drink.
That's where they were now, sitting on the porch of an old cabin, drunk as all hell. Daryl was telling the teenager a story about Merle from when they were younger.
"You miss him, don't you? I miss Maggie. I miss her bossing me around. I miss my big brother Shawn. He was so annoying and overprotective." Beth breathed out a sad laugh. "I miss Belle." She added, seeing Daryl's frown at the girls name.
He had forced himself not to think about her. "Yeah. Just wanted to protect her, you know? Keep her safe." He remembered seeing her kneeling behind the fence, arms tied behind her back. He couldn't do anything.
Beth smiled at him. "It's nice that you care about her. Makes me think you're not all that bad." She saw his eyes roll at her words. "I'm glad anyway. Me and Maggie, she's like our sister, you know? I love her."
Daryl swiped a hand across his eyes, keeping his gaze on the trees instead of the girl in front of him. "Well, we ain't ever gonna see her again-"
"We are. She's out there, she's alive. After everything she's been through, you really think this would kill her? She's tough. I bet she's with Maggie right now, waiting on us."
