I walk around the house holding my crossbow in front of me. Rick and Daryl's voices are soft murmurs in the room next to me. I monitor the outside trying to ignore the two fellow men inside. I peak inside one of the windows to see Rick and Daryl looking at something. I can't see what.

I walk in the house and walk to the room they were in. They look at me and smile. "What?" I ask. They hold out a piece of paper. I take it in the hand and find out that its not a piece of paper, it is a picture. I look down and see a brunette boy and a blonde boy, Charlie.

It was the day of his tenth birthday party. The boy in the picture, Tony, was his best friend at the time. Tony was a year older than him but he acted a year younger than Charlie. He had to move because his mom lost her job and my brother constantly bullied him, not Charlie, my other one.

I hand him back the picture and look around. This isn't Tony's house, though. I furrow my eyebrows before shaking my head. I walk out the room and go through the kitchen. I grab some cans of corn and a bag of chocolate chips. I open the chocolate chips and take a handful and dump them into my mouth. A moan escapes my lips as the chocolate melts into my mouth.

I sit down at the table and make a meal out of chocolate chips. Footsteps are approaching me and the squeaking of a chair. I open my eyes to see Daryl staring at me, completely amused.

"What?"

"I think you are enjoying those a bit much." He says. I roll my eyes and kick his chair.

"Hey, what happened to Merle. Last time I checked he was with us." I say. Daryl's eyes advert down to the ground. The movement of his chest quickens with every passing second. No. I cover my mouth with my hand. I walk over to Daryl's chair and sit down next to him. I put my hand on his shoulder and I can feel it shaking. My eyes watch sparkling tears stream down his face. I bring his body to mine and wrap my arms around his shoulders. His low sobs fill the air. Rick is staring at us. I shake my head and hold my finger out telling him to stop.

"Its okay." I whisper into his ear. "What would the chances be if Merle is with Charlie right now?" I chuckle into his ear.

Daryl pulls back and smiles at the ground. "Charlie is probably telling him how flowers bloom and Merle is confused as hell."

I laugh loudly. "Merle is probably walking away rolling his eyes, muttering under his breath about how stupid it is to be smart." Daryl chuckles and nods. I pat his back before standing. I feel a warm hand on my wrist. I turn around and see Daryl standing. He wraps his arms around my shoulders. He whispers thank you into my ear.

I pull away and kiss his cheek. His eyes shoot over to mine. "Anytime." I smile. I wrap my arm around his shoulders and walk out with him. Rick is leaning against the car looking around. His hands are in his pockets and his legs are crossed. His azul eyes meet mine and I can see his lips twitching up into a smile. He opens the passenger side door for me. I climb in and Rick closes the door. Daryl gets in next to me and Rick behind me.

I stare out the window wondering where my other brother is. What is he doing? I close my eyes and imagine him being a total jackass or a dead jackass. I feel the car come to a halt, a very sudden halt. My eyes spring open as walkers bodies hit the car. The car spins to the side, right in the middle of a herd of walkers.
