We sat in silence for a while, drinking like sailors. "Kilila. Your turn." I murmured.
"Well," he shifted, and for the first time in my life I've seen him look uneasy, "I've been with the group since the beginning. I care so much about everyone I just... I have to be strong for 'em." He looked away. "Beth... I don' know how I feel about 'er. She's like my sister..." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"I don' like bein' close to people cause I've learned you always lose 'em. No matter how hard ya try." He took a big drink. "I have nightmares. My dad... He was always high. Always has a belt. Then of course Merle took off and left meh behind... I don't think I can feel... I think I'm strong... Up until I loose someone. Then I realize I'm weak and I feel way to much."
I wanted to hug him. I wanted to cuddle him and tell him everything was alright, but I kept silent. Because I what I had always suspected was true.
"Ya'll can be bitches sometimes and sometimes I'd rather stab you through with an arrow then look at you, especially you," I made an offended face, "but I wouldn't have nobody else."
He sighed again and took another drink, draining the bottle. "And... There's somebody and I dun know how I feel about 'er. She's nice and all, but I'm afraid to get close. She messes with my head. I always want to... Hold her hand or touch her face... I want to be close to her even though she drives meh up a wall."
I smiled softly. Carol's one lucky girl. "I think you're in love, Dixon."
He shrugged. "I wouldn't know. I dun know what loves feel like. It ain't Carol..." He murmured. "It's weird. I can read 'er like a book, she annoys me like no one's business, but I still like bein' near 'er."
I shrugged, surprised it wasn't Carol. "Well, I think you should tell her. She might not be so annoying if she knew."
There was a long stretch of silence as he thought deeply.
"I already did."
