Will He Fall?

Chapter 7

Georgia's POV

We've been back a few days now and everything has gone back to normal. Even Daryl. I haven't really spoken to him and I really miss him. Sometimes I catch him looking at me, at first I looked back at him and he'd move his head away quickly. But now I pretend that I don't see him so he'll give me a little more attention.

Maggie and Glenn are going on a run soon, lil asskicker needs some more formula. I offered to go with them but they said it's ok. They need some time alone.

"Hey." Beth came up behind me with Judith. She's like a second mother to her. "Hey, how's she doing?" She bounced her up and down in her arms. "She's fine for now, we'll be needing more formula soon."

Over the field we could see Daryl just walking around. "He's been very distant." I raised my eybrows in confusion. Of course I knew she was talking about Daryl. "Who?" She laughed and pointed over at him. "Daryl. He wss like this back at the farm. I thought he'd gotten over things." They'd told me how Daryl used to be. He sounded like such an ass but he kinda still is. "Hmm maybe I should go talk to him." I started to walk down to him. "Good luck." Beth shouted behind me.

I ran down to Daryl. "Hey Dare." He looked up at me. "Huh?" I've never called him that before. I guess it just slipped out. "Thought I'd try something new. If it's ok with you?" He shrugged his shoulders. "Well I just came down here to see if you're alright. We all think you've been a bit distant with us all. Especially me." I said the last bit quietly. "Am fine woman." We continued to walk side by side. "So what'cha doing out here?" He pulled at the fence. "Jus tryna find out if there are any weaknesses on the fences."

"Daryl, are you really ok? I mean, we miss you." He shook his head. "The hell they do. They jus like playin happy families up there." He pointed up at the prison. "Well I miss you then. You promised you wouldn't leave me." I tilted my head down. "Well am still ere ain't I?" He said getting in my face. I could feel his hot breath on my face. I felt butterflies in my stomach. "I-Im sorry." He let out a long sigh, again I felt his hot breath on my face. "Ye, don't nee' to be...C'mon." His hand went to the small of my back to push me up the field.

He didn't take his hand off my back until we got inside and sae everyone gathered around the table. "Has Maggie and Glenn come back yet?" Rick was now holding his daughter. "Not yet, we're expecting them back very soon." I was starting to get worried about them.

Everyone seperated, me and Daryl sat down on our own. "So what's up with ye?" He fixed his bolts on his crossbow. "Nothing. I just missed your company." He laughed it off. "Seriously I did. You might now see it Daryl but I care about you." He chewed on his thumb. "Ye do? Merle always said no one will ever care 'bout ye but me. And I've always believed tha." I sighed. "That's not true, at all. Everyone her cares about you. And you care about them. You're their protector." I smiled sweetly at him. He continued to chew on his thumb.

We were interupted when Rick came rushing in with a stranger. They brought in a basket with some baby formula for Judith. I stood up and went to get it but Daryl grabbed my hand. I looked back at him and he nodded for me to go behind him. So I did. "Stay behind me and keep quiet." He whispered. He held his crossbow up at her. "We can help you. Just tell us where our people are." Rick said to her, taking her weapon from her. I must say it was pretty awesome. I've always wanted a katana. "I don't need your help, let me go."

She stayed silent for a while. "There is this town run by a man called the Governor." I peared round Daryl to see her. "So that's where our people are?" She nodded at my comment. "They took that Korean kid and that pretty girl."

"W-we have to go get em..t-thas my sista." Beth interupted. "We will." Rick said, "we'll need your help. Now in order to do this properly we can help you then you can help us. Then you can leave."

"Hershal will fix you up." He walked away. Daryl took me over to the side away from the others by my arm. "I thought I tol ye to stay quiet." I shrugged my shoulders and his grip tightened. "We don't know anythin bout er, she could be dangerous." I pushed his hamd of my arm and rubbed it. "Everything is dangerous now Daryl, plus she doesn't have her weapon anymore. You don't need to protect me anymore, I'm better."

"The hell with ya, o'course I have to protect ye Georgia." He flung his arms around and raised his voice. "No you don't Daryl, I might be young and small but I was on my own for a while, I know how to protect myself." He sighed. "Look Dare, I know you care about me, and I care about you but you need to look after yourself too and not just focus on me. I-if anything happened to you...I..I...don't know what we'd do. What would I do?" I sunk down to the floor, tears threatening to spill. "Nuthin ain't gunna happen to me. I jus need to make sure yer ok."

He sat down next to me. "Ok. But someone has to look out for you too. Your brother was wrong. We'll find him. I promise." I leaned my head on his shoulder. "A-about shoutin at ye, I'm sorry." I looked up at him and smiled at him, making him smile a little back. "It's fine Dare." I lightly kissed his cheek, setting off fireworks inside me. "Now you gonna come with me to get some stuff out of that woman? Or just sit there?" I extended my arms out for him and heard him chuckle. He took my hand and I helped him up. I felt a spark run through me. I tried to hide the smile on my face. He still hasn't let go.

I pulled him up a little too fast making him crash into me. But he didn't move away. Instead we stood there looking into each others eyes. I loved the way his blue ones sparkled when I caught him looking at me.

This was weird. Slowly my head started moving towards his. He just stayed still, looking into my eyes. My eyes fell down to his lips, thinking of what they'd taste like, mud maybe?

We heard the door slam and we moved apart. Daryl let out a cough and I felt my cheeks heat up. Was I really going to kiss Daryl Dixon? "C'mon." He cleared the silence and I followed after him.
