Alyx's POV

As I jogged up the field and up to the prison, I slashed at walkers with my machete, left and right. I was getting tired but I fought on. Once I made it to the top, Grayson opened the gate and let me inside.

"Hey Gray" I said, pulling his in for a small hug. He looked down at me and nodded his head.

"You're good?" He asked, checking my arms for bites. I nodded and squeezed his forearm gently. Glenn drove a truck threw the gates, with Michonne and Hershel in the back. Hershel hopped out and hugged his daughters lovingly. Glenn got out and stood over by the side, watching his girlfriend. I walked by him and stood by his side, my arms crossed. I looked at the ground and tapped my foot against the pavement.

"He's coming back, you know." Glenn said from beside me. I looked up at him and frowned.

"I'm not sure I want him to." I said, my voice breaking. I used to think I loved Daryl, so so much. Now that he left me, without saying anything, my feelings changed. He really hurt me and I can't forgive him. If he came back, it would pain me to look at him.

"What? Why?" Glenn asked. I sighed and bit my bottom lip.

"It would kill me to look at him. After what he did... I'm not sad anymore, I'm just very angry." I said, spitting out the last word. Glenn was about to speak but something behind me caught his eye. His jaw dropped and he cleared his throat.

"Um, Alyx?" He said, pointing behind me. I raised my eyebrows and turned around, not expecting what I was about to see.

"Alyx!" Daryl shouted, running towards me. He tried to throw his arms around me but I pushed him back.

I don't know what I was feeling. Definitely not happiness or joy. It could've been anger but mostly betrayal. I felt betrayed. I brought me hand up and slapped him across the face.

"Don't touch me." I growled.

I pushed his shoulder to the side and walked inside to prison, letting tears fall from my eyes and land on my shirt. I passed everyone who tired to talk or touch me.

Once I made it to my cell, I kicked the wall, hard. My foot throbbed but I ignored it as I kicked the walk again. And again and again. The toe of my boot was scuffed so I started to punch the wall instead.

I was sobbing, throwing punches at the cement wall, angry with Daryl and myself.

Rough hands grabbed my wrist and pulled the from the wall. Daryl pulled me to his chest and wrapped his muscular arms around my waist. I hit his chest but he pulled me to him tighter. I eventually gave up and rested my head on his shoulder, uncontrollably crying.

"Alyx stop. Look at me." Daryl said, pulling my chin up with his thumb and pointer finger. "M'sorry, I need ye to list-"

I stepped back, angrily throwing his arms away from me.

"You're sorry?" I let out a short laugh but my smile disappeared as fast as it came. "I don't care if you're sorry, leave me alone! You've hurt me enough! How could you just leave me like that? I trusted you, I loved you!" I shouted, tugging on the roots of my hair and passed back and forth.

"Ye' did th' same!" He yelled. "Ye think I wanted ta leave ye? Ye know how many times I thought' bout ditchin Merle an' comin' back to ye? No ye don't, 'cause ye didn't listen to me."

"I did not do the same!" I barked, pointing in his face, hurt that he would even say that.

"Yes ye did! Back when we were lil'. Ye left to get outta yer house. Ye were too scared ta' stay wit' yer dad. Ye' jus' ran away an' left me behind! Like you didn't care, like you wanted to get away from me." He shouted, his voice cracking near the end. He bowed his head and rubbed his eyes. "Maybe I coulda done somethin', somethin' to keep ye from leavin'... I-I didn't know why, I didn't understand... I said I did, I should've said somethin' else... somethin' ta' keep ye from leavin' me."

I brought my hand to my forehead and sighed. He should have said something. He should have told me to stay. I would've...

I know how he feels know. He felt like trash, like his dad always told him. He felt worthless, like no one cared about him, not even me.

"Daryl stop. I would've stayed... I would have. But I didn't. And you felt like garbage, I know that because that's how I feel right now." I said, looking up into his glossy blue eyes. Little tears fell from his eyes, but not as much as mine. He nodded and tugged at his hair.

"M'sorry" He whispered.

"I'm sorry too" I whispered back. We stood there for a few minutes, just looking at each other. Eventually, one of us pulled the other towards them, and we ended up in a solid embrace. I pulled back and wiped the tears from my cheeks.

"We should go make sure Merle isn't harassing anyone." I said, starting to walk out of the cell.

"Ye know he already is, righ'?" Daryl said. I chuckled because he was probably right.

"Yeah.." I nodded as we walked down the steps. Daryl bumped my hand with his lightly and I felt the goosebumps I always gets when he touches me. I think I do still love him, but does he still love me?

He laced our fingers together and brought my hand to his lips, where he kissed me softy. He let go as we got outside to see the group huddled around Merle.

I remembered what he did to Miles so I charged forwards. I tapped on Merles shoulder and he spun around quickly.

"Aye! Girlie, how ya-" I cut him off with a hard punch to the nose. He fell back, holding his face as blood began to drip.

"Y'all ain't gonna do somethin'?" He yelled to Rick and Daryl. Rick looked at Daryl with his eye bows raised.

"Ye deserved it." Daryl said and Rick agreed. We walked back inside, the group as a whole, and into the common room. We all took a bowl of some beans and rice Carol had cooked up and sat down at the tables. It felt like we were a family, eating together at the dinner table.

Carl sat down next to me and ate his food quietly.

"Why did you leave?" He asked, not looking up from his bowl.

"I had to take care of some things." I answered.

"Like my dad did after my mom died?" He asked, looking up at me sadly.

"Kind of..." I trailed off, finishing my food and heading upstairs, Daryl trailing behind me.

I sat down in the bed to change and take off my boots. Daryl leaned into the wall from the doorway, watching my every move.

"Watcha' doing there, Pervy?" I teased, throwing a shirt on.

"I love ye, ye know tha', righ'?" He blurted out.

"You still do?" I asked, sitting back on the bed.

"I never stopped"
