Chapter 27

Daryls pov
I ran a few yards and hid behind a buildin. I watched the shutter doors close and her face disappear.
"Let's go and don't hug my daughter like that ever again." her dad growled and his face became even more wrinkled. He looked like a general; hard face, short hair clean cut grey hair and eyes that had seen wars.
Jenna smirked and I bit my tongue while cursing underneath my breath.
I was mostly silent for the next ten minutes cos I was thinkin about Lily; her hair, her lips, her touch, her everything. Jesus the girl had me becomin that Shakespeare guy she always banging on about.

The walk was long and hard. I kept myself to myself while the two of them talked god knows what about, I couldn't tell how Lily was related to them.
"Where now redneck?" Jenna tilted her head, I snatched the map out of her hands and looked around.
"That way." I pointed to an alleyway between two collapsin buildins and she raised her brow and scoffed.
"No, unless you wanna die. There has to be some way around it?" she placed her hands on her hips and her pony tail nearly hit me in the face.
"Well I think we should stick to the map." I growled stepping back from her lethal hair.
"Well I think you should keep your hands off my sister!" she screamed her face goin red and blotchy, I felt mine do the same.
"You don't know shit about Lily and I." I hissed backin away from the girl slightly while clingin onto my crossbow.
"Guys like you don't go for girls like her, you're polar opposites. I know you like her just like any other guy because of her body." she snapped crossing her arms and scrunched up her face.
"That's not true and you know it." I snapped back at her.
"Oh Daryl please, what on earth could you have in common?"
"Lots."
"Not to mention the fact you nearly let Rick kill her..." I stiffened and I felt my eyes become slits, how dare Lily tell her?
"What?" Her dad snapped.
"It was a long ago we are over it..."
"You nearly let my daughter die in the hands of your so called leader!" His eyes flashed with rage.
"We weren't together then, I wasn't gonna let her die" but you were weren't you? Cos you were too afraid to save her 'let her die now instead of later to make the pain go away quickly' that's what I was thinkin that day. I could never forgive myself.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and swore some words underneath my breath. She must of heard as she opened her mouth to throw abuse back. Her dad held up his hand stoppin her, he sighed and itched the back of his neck.
"Shut up the both of you, we will go with the rednecks choice" I felt a little bit happier, winning over that bitch of a sister was appealing.

We stopped in a house and caught some sleep to prepare for the long journey. The pharmacist store we wanted had collapsed, luckily Doc told us there was another 10 miles away from there. When I woke up they were already packed and we started to walk. Her dad was hot on my heels while Jenna kept her distance.
"Hey can I ask you a question" I looked at the man. His eyes were similar to Lily's but not nearly as beautiful.
"Shoot." I mumbled lookin towards the distance between the decaying building and the bridge we were going to cross.
"Why Lily? Why her? What's so special about that girl" he looked me up and down and I hitched up my crossbow.
"Why ain't?" I shrugged.
"Elaborate." Her dad snapped and I thought about it.
"She knocked me out with a frying pan when I first met her. I didn't like her at first but she got into my head and I began to like her. I don't like feelins and shit so I wasn't all for it but, she showed me it was okay too have them. That I wouldn't be thought of as weak."
"What do you like about her" he sucked the inside of his cheek while I focused my eyes on the horizon.
"She's so beautiful. She laughs and its catchin. Her eyes, they twinkle a little and her nose twitches when she smiles. When she cries her emerald eyes go all puffy and become way more blue, her hair is like honey-and-and she's just perfect," I stop and began to look at the floor. Her dad laid a hand on my shoulder and for the first time he gave me an approving nod and smiled.

We got to the pharmacists and it was already mostly raided.
"Shit!" her dad swore and I checked round the back and there was more stuff all over the floor. Shelves were tipped over, bottles were smashed and a ton of over shit lay on the floor.
"Over here" I called out and they appeared behind me. Jenna got on the floor and started over turning some of the medicine. She picked one box up and sighed.
"We got it." Jenna smiled and seemed content. I felt a happy feelin wash over me.
"Let's hurry back." her dad pulled her up and I followed close behind them. We were half way across the bridge when a hoard appeared limbering towards us from both sides. We were trapped.
"Run" I hissed as they snarled and snapped and began to stumble towards us. We ran back towards the pharmacist. The bridge had a separate sidewalk for people where a few walkers roamed. I sprinted, my legs feelin like jelly pushing the walkers out of my way as we got to another shop. I made sure the other two where in before I pushed a desk in front of the door. I locked the door too and we stepped back all out of breath.
"Check the map." Jenna suggested and I saw that there was an underground system sewage pipe that ran underneath the shop we were in all the way to outside the hospital.
"Look we are here and there is a sewage system we can take, it can take us too the hospital." they both nodded.
The walkers began to break in and I pushed them towards the manhole cover.
"We aren't gonna make it." Jenna seemed to screamed as I kicked the walkers away. I looked down my sights and hit then with my arrow.
"Go I will save you time." I shouted knifing a walker in the head.
"We ain't going without you." she picked up her axe and hit the walkers head, it roared and fell to the ground.
"Go." I barked and her eyes were watering. I heard the sewage pipe door close and the walkers began to close in on me. The back office door was my only escape. I went into the office room and put the desk in front of the door. I managed to break the window and escape through there but I was lost and with no map and walker on my ass it was pretty obvious that I was screwed.
