Something to Live For- The Walking Dead Fanfiction

Chapter 16 - Two Timer

I just stood there, watching them walk away.

Was this real? Did Daryl seriously just leave the group? We just risked out lives to save his ass and he just leaves? What about Carol? What would she think?

Carol and Daryl were really close. I noticed this when Daryl went looking for her when she went missing. I keep wondering if he'll grow feelings for her.

I was broken out of my trance when a hand was placed on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Rick. He looked sad that Daryl had left. I wrapped my arm around him, as he did the same.

"How could he just leave?" I whispered into Rick's chest.

"I don't know... I don't know." He replied, kissing the top of my head.

Rick slowly broke off from the hug, he had people to lead.

"Let's head back." He said.

Rick, Maggie, Glenn, Michonne and I hopped into the pick up and started driving back to the prison.

Daryl's point of view :)

I walked alongside Merle, thinking of what I had just done. I just left and I already miss them. The group. But most of all, I miss Amelia and Carol. The only two people that really mattered to me in this world.

I mean Merle is my brother, but we're not very close. He left me with my abusive father. Just me. All alone.

"Seems like the Saw Hatchet Creek." Merle said.

He was wrong. We haven't gone that far yet.

"Nah." I said. "We haven't gone west enough. It's the Yellow Jacket."

"Did you lose your sense of direction or somethin'?"

"We'll see." I simply stated.

"Wanna bet?" Merle asked.

"Don't wanna bet nothin'. Why does everything have to a competition with you?"

"Come on now, Baby Brother. Just tryin' to have some fun."

Before I could respond I heard a noise that you wouldn't normally hear in the woods.

A baby.

"D'you hear that?" I asked.

"Yup. Wild animals gettin'' wild." Merle said.

" Nah. That's a baby."

"Yeah. Why don't ya just piss in my ear an' tell me it's rainin'?" Merle said sarcastically. "That there's a couple coons makin' love sweet love." He said, moving his hips in circles.

Without thinking, I ran to the direction of the baby. I stopped and saw a bridge over a creek. Definitely the Yellow Jacket. On the bridge there was a Spanish family fighting off walkers.

"Jump!" Merle yelled to them and laughed.

Dick.

I rolled my eyes and ran up onto the bridge, ignoring whatever Merle was saying.

As we arrived back at the prison, Carl and Carol opened the gates for us. Rick an I hopped out of the car.

"Drive it up." Rick said to Glenn. "We'll be there in a minute."
