The Lost Arrow

Morality

The next morning Dale is still sat with Jenny, she starts to move "Dale?"
"well good morning, nice sleep?" she looks at him confused then looks around
"What happened?" She asks him sitting up slightly
"You were in a crash, and you were hurt badly" she remembers what happened and lifts up her shirt and sees stitches where her cut once bled "You need to take it easy, or those are going to come undone" 
She laughs and pulls down her shirt "Okay Doctor" she stands up 
"What are you doing?"
"Getting up, I want to see Rick he's got to be back by now"
"He's not Jenn"
"What? how is he not" she gets up quickly but just as quick sits back down, winded "Where is he then"
"We don't know"
"Then I'm going to find them" she gets up again, steady's herself and tries to walk, Dale gets in the way "No your not, your going to recover in here"
"I'll be fine, you did a good job with these stitches"
"I didn't do them, Daryl did"
"Daryl was here?"
"Yeah from one Shane and Lori brought you back till early this morning he hadn't left your side"
"Where is he know"
"I told him to get some air, he didn't look to good"
"Then I need to talk to him"
"No stay here, look I'll go find him and bring him here" she nods in agreement and sits back down.

Dale goes out the house too look for Daryl but he instead sees Rick, Glenn and Hershel arrive back, they are greeted by the others very happily, but this is stopped when T-Dog speaks out "who the hell is that?" he points to the back seat in the car, they all look and see a young guy, blindfolded in the back, Glenn looks at them all and simply says "That's Randall"
Eventually after locking him in the shed they come together as a group in the dining room to discuss what to do about Randell, Shane just complains about him and start to walk out the room "You know what? I'm gonna go get him some flower and candy. Look at this folks, we are back in fantasy land-" Hershel quickly cuts in "You know, we haven't dealt with what you did at my barn yet. Let me make this perfectly clear, once and for all. This is my farm. Now I wanted you gone. Rick talked me out of it, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it. So do us both a favour, keep your mouth shut" this quickly shuts Shane up and a horrid facial expression floods his face, shaking his head he turns and slams the door as he leaves
"Why don't you just take him to some place far away and leave him there" Jenny speaks as she makes her way into the room, holding onto the wall as she moves 
"I told you to rest Jennifer" Dale tells her helping  her across T-Dogs chair, where he quickly moves to sit down, she looks around, quickly noticing Daryl gaze, she looks to him and as swiftly looks away and moves to another spot in the house.
"Yeah we can do that" Glenn says "easy"
"Exactly, then no one has to kill a kid, or listen to Shane so it really is a win, win" She says laughing to herself
"That's what we will do" Rick tells the group and then leaves, eventually everyone follows and goes off doing there own thing, some of them say it's good to see Jenny up, which she thanks them and then they leave. They all leave except Daryl and Jenny, as Dale leaves he pats Daryl and whispers "Talk to her"

They stay there in silence for a few moments before Daryl moves closer to her saying "How do you feel?" 
"I feel like shit" she says standing up, stepping closer to her
"You look like it, too" he bumps her shoulder
"Dale told me what you did. I should thank you. You saved my life" she smiles at him
"No need, you taught me that"
"Okay then. Thank you Jenny" she says to herself which makes him laugh slightly
"Can we just pretend the other day didn't happen. It's been different and I don't like it"
"I can't Daryl. I do care about you" she says as she sits back down and looks at him with sadness in her eyes "just cause you don't"
"i never said that"
"You never say anything"
"J, you really think I would have done everything I have for you if I didn't care" he says bending down in front of her
"I don't know what to think"
"Anything other then that" they stay in silence one again, staring at each other
"What do we do then?" she questions him
"I don't know"
"I don't think we should talk anymore then. I think we just keep some distance"
"Jenny" he pleads
"Daryl I don't have any other choice" he stands there for a moment, stunned by what she's saying and how unable he is to change what is unfolding 
"Fine"
"Good" he looks down unable to meet her eyes then walks away "your really just going to walk away?" she asks him making him stop in his tracts
"I don't have any other choice" he says repeating her words as he continues to walk out
