Trying Not To Love You [Daryl Dixon]

Page 3

   Now I've met everyone. The blonde girl who opened the gate for Daryl and I was Beth, who is Maggie's younger sister. Maggie is the girl with short brown hair. She's dating Glen, the Asian guy. Hershel was the 'doctor' of the group, I guess you could say, and is Maggie and Beth's father. Carl is Rick's son. Lori is Rick's pregnant and distant wife. Carol is the lady with the boy hair.  

  As it got dark, Daryl started a fire and Carol began to cook the squirrels Daryl caught. I sat quietly next to Daryl. He was the only I felt completely comfortable with for some reason. Sure everyone here seemed nice, but I always preferred being close with just one person. That's all I ever needed.     "Daryl?" I tried to whisper as quiet as possible.    

  "What?" He asked.  

  "Can you come with me tomorrow to get my stuff at my old camp?" It wasn't really much, just water, some food, a old tent, and maybe medicine. I just wanted to pull my own weight around here. Not like the last time I was in a group. I only had one use there. I shook the thoughts out of my mind and realized Daryl has been staring at me.    

  "You okay?" He asked.

  "Yeah, I'm fine." I said forcing a smile. Daryl looked at me for a while, then turned to look at the fire. I stared at him for a while and just noticed every perfect thing about him. His eyes. His hair. How nice he was to introduce me to his group. He caught me staring and lifted a eyebrow at me. I looked away, embarrased for getting caught. Daryl was amused by that and smirked.    

   Carol finished cooking and passed around plates of cooked squirrel to everyone. At first we ate in silence. I looked around at the group. Despite what was going on in the world, they seemed genuinely happy. Like a big happy family. I caught eyes with Glenn.    

   "So Angela," Glenn started and all eyes turned to me, "Were you ever with a group?" I froze.
