Through the woods (a Daryl Dixon x oc story )

Broken family

Meghan's p.o.v.
Daryl packed up the car for us and we were one step closer to leaving the camp. I went towards the RV to pick up Alex, as I entered I saw him playing with Sofia and Carl. I was overjoyed that he could have a somewhat normal life with these people.
"Meghan!" He yelled running towards me. I squatted down and he fell into my arms. I picked him up and said bye to the others in the RV.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked Alex as we walked towards Daryl's blue truck.
"Yea...I like it here." he said as he laid his head on my shoulder.
"Good." I said as we made it to the truck.
"Hey Meg ya all set?" Daryl asked as I stood besides the truck.
"Yea ready when you are."
Moments later Rick yelled "Alright let's go!" as he made it to his car, and that was it. We were off to the CDC to hopefully find somewhere safe, and good for all of us.
Alex had already fallen asleep on my lap so I had no worries to keep him occupied for the time being.
"So what's your story about the apocalypse?" Daryl asked momentarily glancing towards me. "and how have you managed to keep both you and Alex alive"
"In the beginning I didn't take care of him..He was left by another group...they were trying to escape from a herd and locked him in a car so he'd be safe...they distracted all the walkers and sacrificed themselves to save him...then I found him one day when I was walking to get some supplies and he just stuck with me."
"And how do ya' know that?"
"Alex told me the story...he said the 'scary monsters' were coming for them." I said.
"Mk, well what about you? What'd you do before all this?"
"Nothing really...my life sucked. I didn't really have a lot of people to go to...or to support me, but then this apocalypse started and now I have someone to look after...who I have to protect." I looked down at Alex and realized how much he meant to me. He'd given me a reason to live, and I was so thankful for him, because without him I wouldn't have found this group...I would never have found our own little broken family.

Daryl's p.o.v.
I didn't know how to feel about Meghan, she was so kind hearted and anyone could see how much she cared for Alex. So far the group loved her and I kind of started to care too
