FALLING APART daryl dixon

t w e n t y - f i v e - Daryl got shot

It had been now a few days, no Sophia, but Alycia managed to get the good doctor and her family to agree for her to walk for a bit. So, the woman was finally out of bed. She couldn't handle it being stuck in the farm house, she felt like going mad, of course, it was nice for a change not having to run every change she could get, or gather supplies, or almost dying for a few days.

With the help of Lori Grimes, Alycia managed to get ready for the day, the mother was helping her with her jacket.

- Jesus, just be careful when you walk, ok, Aly? - Lori asked her daughter, as she pulled her sleeves down. It was hurtful to do a few things still for Alycia, and she reckon that it'll hurt for a few more days.

- Yes, mom! I'll be fine - She reassured her, giving her a bright smile.

Carl was excited to have his sister up and ready again, he wanted to show Alycia around the farm, it's been quite a while since they had a place as big and as safe as this one.

- Carl has been so excited to show you around the farm. He hasn't been able to do much since we got here - Lori told Alycia with a smile on her face.

- How so? - Alycia asked.

- Everyone is, you know, worried for Sophia, so we have to stay quiet here, as everyone is doing their part - Lori shrugged at her daughter.

- Do you think we'll find her? - Alycia asked sincerely.

- I hope so, sweetie - Her mother answered, trying to give a reassured smile.

- Actually, Carl has been hanging out a lot with Glenn...

- Yeah?

- And Daryl - Her mother completed. Alycia furrowed her brows in confusion.

- Daryl? - She repeated.

Lori noticed the look on her daughter's face and raised an eyebrow at her, causing the girl's face to fade into a frown.

- What? - She asked.

- You know, I hate to give you some kind of advice about these things...

- Mom - Alycia huffed.

- I just know that look, is all - She told her.

- I didn't do a look.

- Oh yes, you did! I'm not going to tell you how to live your life, I'd rather have you with a sweet boy and someone your age like Glenn, but... I just want you to be careful - Lori said stroking her daughter's hair.

- Jesus Christ, mom! Come on, first of all, no, there's nothing really happening. Second, Glenn is my best friend so, forget about that, ok? And third, I'm an adult, alright? He's a great guy, and nothing is happening - Alycia denied instantly.

- Ok, hun, don't get mad - She asked.

- I'm not - She said.

Lori smiled.

- Ok, ok, Aly - Lori still smiled.

- I'm not - She defended.

- You're not, what? - She heard from beside them, causing both of the Grimes girls to spin around in a rush.

When Alycia looked behind her, she saw Glenn, standing awkwardly with Carl beside him, looking at his mother and sister strangely.

- Humm... - Alycia tried to talk about something.

- She doesn't need help walking around, I was trying to tell her otherwise - Lori said.

Carl didn't care what they were talking about, in an instant, he ran to Alycia and gave her a hug.
