This is the Apocalypse (A Rick Grimes /Daryl Dixon Love Story)

A new family

I had been driving a few days living on my own I felt guilty and selfish for leaving Carl, and Glenn. I was driving and I saw a farm I headed for it when I got there there was three girls sitting on the porch I pulled up and a woman with short brown hair yelled for her father he came out " Hi I'm Hershel these are my daughters and daughter in law Maggie, Beth, and Patricia." I waved " I'm Esme Rhee" I said every one waved "I really need a place to live I can help around here I seems pretty secure." I said " Okay but you have to help and pitch in around, okay?" he said " Okay thank so much!" i said I parked my bike and grabbed my stuff. I headed inside with everyone else Beth showed me to my room and showed me her pearly whites and I returned the smile " You want to help with dinner?" she said in her lovely southern voice "Oh my god yes." i said making us both laugh " okay then come on." she said as we walked into the kitchen. Maggie was in there getting ingredients together. We laughed and talked about our lives before this about our families where I was before here leaving out Carl, Rick, and D-Daryl. When we finished we  had fruits and vegetables and mm steak we all sat down. We all prayed and dug in I tried to be as civil as I could even though I really wanted to scarf down the whole plate. Once we were all done we went to kitchen and cleaned up all the dishes.

Couple weeks later 

I went outside to sit on the porch to write in my journal about my days without my brother, Carl, Rick and Daryl when I saw a small figure in the distance holding a small figure I took my binoculars and looked through then and it was Rick holding a bleeding Carl "HERSHEL!!!" I screamed as I ran down to him grabbing Carl as he look bewilder at me I ran inside setting him down in the first bedroom as I helped Hershel set everything up " Who is he?" he asked I looked at him with a cold expression " Hes my son." I said coldly " He'll be okay I promise" he said we worked on him for an hour until we got one piece out but there was more and we needed to have special equipment " I'll get it." Shane said " I'll go with you its my fault and you don't even know were to go we'll go to the old high school down the road the military set up there it was a camp that got overrun." Otis said after that they left. I went up to my room and layed down on my bed and face away from the door. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me "Rick leave me alone I should have never said yes to you after all we just met and I automaticly said yes to you Jesus I'm an idiot. Now Daryl hates me." I said crying "You know he never gave up looking for you.Every morning he was gone till night.Looking for you" I sniffled "really? How did Carl get shot??" I asked him " We were looking for you and we saw a deer Carl walked up to it and he was so close he was about to touch it when that man shot it and the bullet went through the deer and into Carl." he said " Otis is a good man he probably didn't see Carl." i said as Rick nodded " You can leave me for Daryl I would understand. Your right we did just meet each other I think I loved you because of you protecting Carl and I was heartbroken. Not that your no pretty or anything like that I just don't want to rip you from Daryl I can see that you love him Esme." he said " Are you sure?" i asked he nodded. " Thank you and I'm sorry." I said before kissing him on the cheek " where are they I'm going to get them." I said.

RICK'S P.O.V; THE NIGHT ESME LEFT CAMP!

She got on her bike and left us all we screamed for her to come back but she kept going. I turned to see Daryl coming towards me an angry expression on his face " THIS WOULD'VE NEVER HAPPENED IF YOU HADN'T TAKEN HER FROM ME!!!" he yelled in his thick southern accent " I'm going tot find her and when I do you stay the FUCK away from her!" he yelled at me he was right I barley knew this girl I was just heart broken and not in my right mind and now she was gone because of it because of me."

Daryl's P.O.V; PRESENT DAY ;

I was on watch sitting on top of the RV at the high way when I heard an approaching motorcycle then I saw the motorcycle I jumped down and meet the mysterious rider. When they pulled off they're helmet it was Esme. She ran to me as I stood in shock but instead of her just hugging me she did something else she smacked her lips into mine and started kissing me I started to kiss her back falling for this girl once again she wrapped her small arms around my neck melting into me Esme was a confusing one all right " I missed you Dixon." She giggled making me chuckle. She smiled at me but we were interrupted by someone screaming. It was Glenn  I rushed Esme to her motorcycle and told her to leave she did as told and I rushed to get Glenn only when I did he was staring at a huge herd.
