Is There Somewhere? |Daryl Dixon

027| fragile little egos

A long week had passed since the arrival of Randall had ransacked the minds of those on the farm. Life went on as normal, somewhat. Rick and Shane were clearly at odds, but the pair would be dropping Randall off at a nearby school. It was a worrisome thought, but Sabrina knew that they'd both come back. Their brotherhood might be in shambles at the moment, but that didn't mean that the pair didn't care for each other in some way. 

Sabrina was cutting up a cucumber in the Greene's kitchen with Maggie and Lori. Daryl, had taken Frankie hunting. She was apprehensive at the idea, but knew that Frankie couldn't be cooped up forever. Eventually, she'd be back out there. There was no one she trusted more with her daughter than Daryl. Daryl would risk his life before ever putting the young girl in danger. 

"Rick say anything to you about Glenn when they got back from town?" Maggie asked. 

"Just that it had gotten pretty bad." Lori said, separating a piece of chicken from the bone. 

"He's not the same." Maggie said, voicing what was on her mind. "Says he froze, blames me. Says I got inside his head." 

"He came back." Sabrina voiced her thoughts on the matter. "That's what matters." 

"Men have to do certain things, you know that." Lori said. "And they're either gonna blame the little woman as the reason they do 'em or the reason they don't." 

"Fragile little egos they have." Sabrina said, thinking about the many times she got into it with Daryl and Merle over little things. Like fixing the damn leaky faucet in the trailer kitchen. There was once an incident so bad she threw a bottle of glass cleaner at Merle's head. Served him right. 

"I'll tell you something, what happens out there happens out there." Lori said. "And we, we're just trying to keep it together till they get back." 

"Things were good and maybe I-" Maggie said, before Lori cut him off. 

"Glenn's a big boy." Lori said, taking a bite out of a cucumber that Sabrina had just sliced. Sabrina gave the woman a playful glare. "He makes his own choices, and then you do you have anything to apologize for?" 

Maggie shook her head. 

"Tell that boy to man up and pull himself together." Sabrina said. "Pretty boy will learn eventually you're the best thing to ever happen to him." 

"Just don't say 'man up'," Lori added and Sabrina nodded with a small laugh. "It never goes well." 

"Never." Sabrina said. 

"Let me just give this to Beth." Maggie said, reaching for the plate the three woman had prepared. 

Beth, was still in bed. The blond teen had hardly left her room since the incident at the barn. Sabrina felt for her, it wasn't easy holding off on mourning. Holding it off only made it worse, the grieving came in tenfold. 

"You go on, I got it." Lori said, picking up the tray. 

"I'll grab your laundry from your tent, get a head start." Sabrina said, grabbing a handful of cucumber. She reached for the salt shaker sprinkling a bit onto the green vegetable before tossing a slice in her mouth. 

"I'll see ya out there shortly." Lori told her before heading towards Beth's room.

Sabrina was doing laundry in the middle of camp. The task was boring, and monotonous, and seemed to be never ending. All the while she watched as Andrea sat on top of the RV. Once again, Andrea was wanting to prove herself when she didn't need to.
