I'm writing this straight after I made the edit and wrote this chapter! It's midnight and Im exhausted,but I can't sleep in hot weather so here I am! Trying not to k word myself!

After arriving home...
"Young lady It is eleven thirty!I had Merle go lookin' for ya' for Christ's sake!"My dad shouted,half angry ,half worried.
"I'm sorry,I got distracted.I was having fun with my friend."I responded,trying to keep him and me calm.He opened his mouth,trying to think of words.Sighing he spoke.
"I'll call Merle to tell him to come home.You're grounded for two days.Me or Merle will take you to and from school."
"Ugh."I groaned,dragging my slightly limp body to my room,drowsily opening the wooden door,flopping on my bed,and falling into a deep slumber.

The next day..
My head ached from all the crappy love songs Olivia played yesterday.Luckily,it was Friday yesterday,so no school,yay!But,I'm still grounded.After,forcing myself to get dressed I grabbed some clothes.

"Shit.Shit.Shit."I repeated,as I searched my bag for my phone.(it's 2010 by the way)I finally pulled out my old phone,relief hormones realised through my body.But,I was distracted by the price of white paper stuck to it.

(It's a fake number,don't try and call it!)
"Sweet."I chanted,opening my phone and inserting the number and started texting.

I soon informed Olivia on me being grounded.Leaving us chatting for about an hour.Until,I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in!"I yelled,sitting up from my original,not so comfortable position.
"Hey,kiddo."My dad comforted,entering the room and taking a firm seat next to me.
"Hey?"I asked,confused,as to why he was so god damn tense.
"I wanna' apologise for yesterday.I was worried,so were Merle."He continued.
"It's fine Dad.I shoulda been more responsible."I owned up.
"That's why I'm not groundin' you any more."He started.
"On one condition."Sticking his index finger up to declare.
"Ya have too come huntin' with me an' Merle."
"Deal."I agreed.My Dad began to leave the room,when he stopped in his tracks,retracing his steps and reclaiming his seat.
"Who's this friend ya got?"He quizzed,secretly hoping it isn't a boy.
"Her names Olivia."I replied,causing Daryl to sigh in relief.
"What?"I asked,confused.
"I'm glad it ain't a boy."He responded,ready for me to lecture the lecturerer.
"Dad."I sternly said.
"I'll never find a man as great as you or Merle.I promise."
A huge smile stretched from ear to ear,as he engulfed me into a hairless bear hug.

You guys are driving to a forest to go hunting...
Me and Liv where texting the whole ride.It was the first time I hadn't sung my heart out when 'heatseeker' by AC/DC cane on the radio.Then I finally cracked the question.'Do u regret last night?'I was assuming she'd block me and never speak to me in person or online EVER AGAIN.But it was just a simple 'no'.I asked her why? But all she replied with was 'Bc Charlie is a douch and I like you.' Valid answer.I was snapped out of my thoughts when Merle's truck abruptly stopped,flashing green trees all around us,the sound of majestic birds chirping and so much more!
"Daryl!Daryl!"Uncle Merle very badly whisper yelled,while nudging Dad with his left elbow.
"Ow!Yes I'm gettin' it!Jeez."He responded,muttering the last bit under his breath.My dad reached into the boot/trunk of the car pulling out a brand new crossbow,it was a bit smaller than my dad's.
"Holy shit."I said,impressed.
"It's for ya."Daryl insisted.

While hunting...
"You gotta be very careful with it.it's not a-"My dad was cut of at me firing an arrow hitting a squirrel square in the head.
"Toy."He finished.
"Ma' niece is a professional."Uncle Merle spoke,swapping an arm around my shoulders.
"At least you're set for an apocalypse.But that won't happen anytime soon."My dad promised.
(Foreshadowing🤨🤨)
"I guess so."I responded.

After a couple hours of hunting we me and dad caught seven squirrels,well with Merle's 'moral support' which was mostly leaning against a tree and smoking,we decided to head back.Me and Liv had a repeat of the ride there,it felt like we'd known each other since we were born,she's the first girl-friend I've had.
"You goin' to Olivia's house today?"My dad quizzed.
"Yeah.Is that okay with ya?"I questioned back,just to make sure.
"Yep."Merle intervened.
"It sure is,baby brother?"He questioned Daryl.
"Yeah ,it's fine."

Hey guys!I know that this is quite a short one(sry) but I'm just building up to the apocalypse with will be in chapter four (I think) I still have to plan.the edit is out on my TikTok if you wanna see that!
