England's POV
"It won't work." My father says. We're huddled up together, the four of us. Debating on what to do about Merle and the woman. I haven't said much, I'm exhausted and all I want to do is lay in bed and sleep forever.
"It's gotta." Daryl says, he's trying to convince them to let Merle come.
"It'll stir things up."
"Look, the governor is probably on the way to the prison right now. Merle knows how he thinks. And we could use the muscle."
"We can handle our own." I said. To be honest, I don't think I can handle being in the same room as him let alone a car...But I don't want him out here either. "I'm not having him at the prison."
"Do you really want him sleeping in the same cell block as Carol or Beth?" Glenn asks, I scrunch my eyebrows.
"He ain't a rapist."
"Well his buddy is." I looked at Glenn, my eyes widen. Daryl and my father took a second looking at me before speaking again. Glenn swallowed hard, not daring to look up from the ground. He knows he's crossed a line.
"They ain't buddies no more...Not after last night."
"There's no way Merle's gonna live there. Without putting everyone at each other's throats." My father said.
"So you're gonna cut Merle loose and take the last samurai home with us?" I sigh, looking away from them.
"She's not coming back."
"She's not in the state to be on her own." I said.
"And she did bring you guys to us." Glenn defends.
"And then ditched us." Dad says.
"At least let Hershel stitch her up, dad."
"She's too unpredictable."
"He's right. We don't know who she is." Daryl said. "But Merle...Merle's blood."
"No. Merle is your blood. My blood, my family is standing right here and waiting for us at the prison." Glenn said, Daryl sighs looking at me. My eyes soften, I can't help him. Not with this. Merle has done too much damage now...
"And you're apart of that family." My dad tells him. "But he's not.. He's not." I can hear Merle groan behind us. Waking up from when I hit him. Daryl shakes his head.
"Man, y'all don't know...." My dad just looks at him. "Fine, we'll fend for ourselves." My heart stops, I take a step forward.
"No!"
"Daryl that's not what I meant" -Glenn.
"No him, no me." Daryl says looking at us both. I shake my head.
"You don't have to do that, you're our family. You're my family." I take another step forward and he just shakes his head again.
"It was always me and Merle before this." I shake my head at him.
"Don't."
"Seriously? You're just gonna leave like that?"
"You'd do the same thing."
"And What do you want us to tell Carol? Huh?" I ask him.
"She'll understand." I shake my head again. We all take a moment just staring at him. "Say goodbye to them for me." He walks forward, towards the car. I try to grab his arm, but he lightly shoves me away.
"Daryl are you serious?"
"Daryl!"
My dad and I jog up to him.
