My Redneck Angel

14. All Alone

*Jess's POV*

Its been hours and they aren't here yet. Are they dead, Is the only thing I could ask myself. They can't be dead, Daryl wouldn't let that happen. But if there not dead, where are they?

*Daryl's POV*

"Where's Jess?" Was the first question asked, this attracted the others. I bow my head. "Where is she!" Carl cries. I gulp and look into his eyes, they were filled will tears, and its my fault. "What's going on?" Travis pushes his way to the front. I keep my gaze on the ground avoiding eye contact with everyone. "She didn't make it.." Stephanie finally says with a shaky voice. Once again my eyes slightly water, I bite my lip trying to stop myself. I begin to walk away, "Where do you think your going?"

I could hear Travis's feet running at me. "Huh? Where are you going." I couldn't face him, I just stand there facing the other way. "Answer me." His voice full of anger. His hands meet my back pushing me to the ground. I stare at him from the ground, when I was about to get up his fist came into contact with my cheek. Pure rage taking over my body, I jump up punching him in the face sending him to the ground. I get on the ground and hit him again. "Daryl."

"Come on Daryl, let it go." Rick yells. T-Dog and Rick pry me off Travis and to my feet. Travis stands up wiping blood off his face, "That all you got." I try launching at him, but I'm held back by Rick, T-Dog, and Tyler. "Yer not th' only one who lost er." I yell. I look around and everyone's staring with shocked faces. "Let me go."

"Let me go." I yell louder. They loosen their grip on my arms, I pull myself the rest of the way out of there grip and head to me tent.

*Jess's POV*

After hours of waiting I come to the conclusion that there not coming. I have food, water, a gun, my sword, and a knife so I should be able to survive for a while. My plan was to heal then make my way back to the farm, witch wouldn't be easy because I slept on the way here. In my mind Daryl and Stephanie weren't dead..they were alive but somewhere else, maybe they got caught in a croud and had to get out, now there and the farm and bringing help. Yeah, there bringing help..that's it. But for now, I'm all alone...

*Daryl's POV*

I pace back and forth chewing on my nail, debating whether to go talk to Stephanie or not. I Groan angrily and head to her tent. "What--." I stop to let out a breath, once again debating weather to tell her or not. "What happened back there.." She gives a small sad smile. I hesitantly sit down across from her, "I need to know." She nods her head in understandment. "When we found the cafeteria a croud of walkers came out of the freezer. Me and Jess ran, but Jess was in front of me and when we turned the corner a walker grabbed her foot causing her to trip. Then a few walkers came from the other direction, I shot them..but when I turned back Jess was struggling with the walker on the ground. By the time we got that walker off her the.." She fought back tears. "..the other walkers already got to her. I tried to kill them Daryl.. I really did." She chokes on her tears and finally lets them fall. "There--there was just to many."

I take my gaze off the ground, I look at her puffy red eyes. I dont know what it is but something seems off. I hated Stephanie for what happened, but the only person I hated more was myself. I head out of Stephanie's tent and back to mine. I decide to lay down and not sleep. I feel like she's alive..but I know she's not. I had so much anger in my body, my veins feel like there pumping extra blood, and my head was in so many different places..the only thing keeping me from going into complete rage was the sadness, no matter how bad I wanted to get up and do something stupid, kill something... Something, I just couldn't because it hurt. It hurt to breath and to move. I'm all alone...
