One way or another [Daryl Dixon]

[26] SCARS.

"People go through so much pain trying to avoid pain."
-Neil Strauss

Merle, Daryl, Tyreese, Bob, Michonne and myself are now stuck in a what looks to be an old garage for the time being.

Everything was going well on the road until the car collided with walkers.

Luckily we were all able to make a quick escape from the vehicle which is how we ended up here. The group couldn't travel on foot either. One because it was dark and two because everyone back at home with the illness would be dead before we even stepped foot it to the college.

A new plan was needed.

Looking around at the group, Tyreese was sitting in a corner muttering complaint after complaint about how much time we're all wasting. The Dixon's were sat next to each other in silence while Michonne sat by my side offering small words of reassurance every now and again.

"You really think he's going to make it?" I questioned my voice breaking of at the end as I referred to Theo.

Michonne watched me pondering on her words for a moment. "He's a lot stronger than you think Harlow."

I knew that already. "Answer the question."

I just needed to hear a straight.

She let out a huff before contemplating her answer. "I'm not sure, his bodies so little there's only so much it can take."

Taking in Michonne's words was easier than I expected probably because that's what was always at the back of my mind anyway.

"Could I just be let alone for a second, please?" The please came out a mere whisper.

I felt a gentle hand being placed on my shoulder a quick reassuring squeeze before Michonne stood up and made her way over to Ty.

My mind was blank. I didn't know what to think.

Usually I'd be thinking through all the worst possible outcomes but all that was circling through my head was nothing, it was completely blank.

It was almost as if the world didn't want me to think because I already knew the outcome.

Theo's my little fighter but his bodies so small, fragile and his immune system is not as strong as others.

The biggest fear I had was running into A block and it being too late. His eyes glazed over, skin paler than it was when I left. Him being too far to gone to save.
