Daryl's POV.
It's July 4th 1987, I'm 8 years old, daddy was always mean when he drank, but he had never hit me until today, I woke up to daddy and mommy fighting, daddy hit mommy and I went to help her, I walked out of my room and yelled for daddy to stop, when I did daddy grabbed me by the hair and threw me to the ground, "Shut up you little brat," daddy yelled. I felt a single tear roll down my face, I stood up and started to yell, when I felt the side of my face stinging, "Dixon's don't cry." daddy yells. "Don't hurt him." mom told dad, he went to slap mommy, but I grabbed his hand, "don't touch her," I scream. "Didn't i tell you to shut up!!" He screams with anger in his voice. I started to apologize but before I could he grabbed me, and started to drag me to my bedroom, "I'm sorry" I say, "sorry won't do!!" He threw me on the bed, and yelled for me to take my shirt off, I heard him undo his belt, "daddy please don't" I beg, "I said take it off," he screams, I stand up slowly taking my shirt off, knowing what was about to happen, Merle had told me daddy hit him, I look at daddy with terror in my eyes. "Turn around" daddy said, I turn around with tears in my eyes, but I don't dare let them fall, I feel the belt make contact with my back, I whimper in pain, he hits me again and again and again, i fall to my knees and daddy left. ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I put my shirt on and climb out the bedroom window, running into the woods, to a lake Merle showed me. when I got there, there's a little girl sitting there with her feet in the water, I walk up to her and say, "may I sit??" "Of course," the little girl about my age, said, I sit and say "I'm Daryl Dixon, It's nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you to I'm Annabella Horvath, I'm 7. how old are you??" she ask. "I'm 8," I say. "Are you ok, you have blood on your shirt??" She ask with concern in her voice. "I'm fine." I say. "No your not, come with me." "Where are we going??" I ask. "Just come on," She said and I follow her. We stop in front of a house, "where are we??" I ask. "Welcome to my house, come on I want you to meet my dad," Annabella said. We go inside and a man says "hey who's your friend Bella??" "This is Daryl Dixon daddy." "Hello Daryl I'm Dale, Bella's dad." "Hello," I say shyly. "What happened to you??" Was there an accident??" "No accident" I say, "my daddy hit me," I say holding my head down. "Come here son, lets take a look." i walk over, he picks me up and I flinch as a pain shoots up my back. "I'm sorry" Dale apologizes. "It's ok i say." Dale sits me on the cabinet, and pulls up my shirt, "Bella go get the first aid kit," Dale tells Annabella. She comes back with the first aid kit a few minutes later. "This may sting a little," Dale says apologetically. "Ok" I whisper. I quietly whimper when the alcohol hit my back, A few minutes later Dale is done and he turns me around, "I'm sorry," I say. "Why are you sorry??" Dale ask. "Cuz Dixon's don't cry." "It's ok son," Dale said. I smile at him and say thank you. "I need to get home before my dad knows I'm gone." "Ok, come over any time." Dale says. "bye Dale, bye Annabella."
I get close to my house and there are firetrucks and cops everywhere, "what happened??" I ask a fireman. He says "the bedroom was set on fire with gasoline." "Did my mommy get out??" I ask. "No but your daddy did" the fireman said. Daddy killed mommy because of me, I think to myself.
