2. daryl

it was a normal day at the prison, everyone was doing their jobs. a few left for a run earlier today. you were bored and decided to walk to your best friends cell, daryl.

"hey daryl" you said waiting at his cell door. you got no response so you waited for a few seconds before Hershel came over.
"y/n? what are you doing?" he asked
"oh you know, waiting for Daryl to answer me" i laughed a little
"daryl? im afraid he won't be answering you for at least a day" hershel stated
"what do you mean?"
"he didn't tell you? he went on the run with Rick and Glenn."

he always went on runs it was totally normal. but he always told you. were you freaking out? yes. what if you don't get to say goodbye what if he doesn't come back but the others do. "stop it y/n he's gonna come back" you told yourself, he always does. The last conversation you had with daryl ran through your head.

"y/n why are you out here?" he had asked you why you were outside of the gates after dark, you were allowed to go wherever you wanted. everyone was. but after dark? and out of the gates? what was going through your head?
"i wanted to find you" you replied
"find me?" he questioned, finally looking up from whatever he was doing. his hair was in his eyes but you could still seem them, barely but you could.
"yea, I was bored and went to your cell and you weren't there."  a complete lie. you didn't even check his cell, you just wanted to be outside, being with him was a bonus. you never got to close to him, however he is your best friend but he still keeps his distance.

"y/n?" hershel said looking at you, forgetting you were standing at daryl's cell, let alone anyone was there.
"oh sorry, just thinking. but no he didn't tell me"
"he'll be back dont worry." hershel said with a smile as he walked away.

yeah he better. you thought to yourself while you walked outside to the garden. as you watched Sasha kill the walkers that piled up along the fence you couldn't help but wonder if Daryl was okay. of course he was who were you kidding? daryl freaking dixon was one and is one of the strongest people you know. of course he's okay. right? suddenly you saw the cars coming through the gates, you heard Rick shouting

"get Hershel he's been shot" Rick shouted at Maggie you glanced around thinking maybe it was glenn. but then you noticed Daryl's bike wasn't behind the other 2 cars. you ran over to the others and saw rick helping daryl out of the car, he had blood coming out of his stomach assuming that's where he was shot. hershel rushed over to him, you don't remember what happened after that all you remember is waking up in your cell with Maggie standing over you.

"good your up" she said handing you a glass of water
"what happened?" you asked taking a sip
"you blacked out, after you saw daryl-" the rest of what she said was just a bunch of mixed up words that didn't make sense to you, daryl. he was shot. and your not sure if he's okay or not.
"Maggie, where is he?" you interrupted her while she was still explaining what had happened to you
"who?" she asked
"daryl. where's Daryl?"
"in his cell, resting why?"
"no time to explain." you said as you rushed to his cell, dizzy and lightheaded from the fall was your guess.

you walked into his cell and saw him sleeping so you sat in the floor, leaning against the bed. you started saying things, worried and scared for him.

"daryl. you have to be okay" you whispered
"i know i never said it before but, i love you" you continued
"and i can't imagine life without you. please you have to be alright." you heard the mattress creak and looked up at him with tears running down your face. he pushed himself up on the bed and grabbed your hand.

"im not going anywhere y/n" he said with a smile
"good" you smiled back at him "but how much did you hear?" you asked
"just the please be okay part" he laughed
"what's so funny?" next thing you know he was leaning down kissing you, just a light gentle peck on the lips. and then he backed away.
"i love you too y/n"

i had no idea what to write for daryl but he's one of everyone's favs so I thought I'd write one for him, again this isn't the best but I just need to get used to writing again! have a good day/night -lex😊
