burning love

Chapter 7 - Merle

--Bella's POV:

       We drove back in silence after T-dog explained what happened.  "So who is going to tell Daryl?" Andrea asked. "I will. I dropped the key, so I will tell him." T-dog stated boldly. "OK, then it's settled." Rick stated. I think he'd make a great leader one day. We slowly pulled around the corner of the hill to the campsite. Everybody jumped out and reunited with their loved ones. Rick and I stayed in the white van and watched everybody. I couldn't see Lori, Shane,or Carl though. "Come meet everybody then." I said hopping out of the van. I walked over to Sofia and gave her and mom a hug. "I was hopping that maybe you died while you were out their." Dad said a little disappointed. I looked over to Lori holding a crying Carl. Carl looked towards the van and his whole face lite up. "DAD!!!" Carl screamed. I looked to Rick he had his arms wrapped around Carl and Lori, like that was his family. Shane had a look of hate and shock clearly written across his face. 'I am so confused I thought. I will ask Rick later. "So what happened out there?" Dale asked getting everybody's attention. "Their was died every where we went. Rick rode in on a horse and got attacked by a horde of thousands of walkers. He climbed in a tank and we made a plan to get him out there. I went and got him. We went back to the department store we were at and Merle was popping of rounds on the ceiling. Rick handcuffed him to the roof. We gave T-dog the key and he accidentally dropped the key....... down the drain. Me and Glenn escaped down the street to the construction vans and stole one, while Glenn distracted the walkers, I loaded everybody in the back. Where's Daryl i'm going to talk to him." I stated, I said the Merle part quietly. I looked up at Dale and he had stunned look on his face. "Daryl went hunting."Dale replied. After that we all went about our business, I watched as Glenn begged them not to take apart his red beautied sports car. But they did anyways. I went to my tent with my dad hot on my heels. He grabbed my arm and threw me around, were he was inches from my face. "I want you to go down their in the water and help your mother wash my clothes, you understand me girl?" He stared me down. I looked down and nodded my head. I slowly walked toward the water and started helping mom with the clothes. I stopped when I heard Daryl up by the RV calling Merle's name. I got up and ran up the hill, before dad could stop me. "Merle get your pussy ass out here and help me skin some meat." Daryl yelled. No response. Daryl looked around confused at everybody, he stopped and stared me down. I look down at my shoes suddenly feeling intimidated by his glare. "You where's my brother?" He asked pointing a finger at me. "In Atlanta." I said slowly lifting my head. "WHY?!" Daryl yelled growing impatient. "Rick handcuffed him to the roof of a departments store, because he was becoming out of hand. We gave T-dog the key to uncuff him but he dropped the key.........down the drain."I said quietly. I suddenly felt rather guilty, their was a sicken feeling in the Pitt of my stomach. It became harder to breathe, my chest was tightening up. Daryl walked towards me with balled fist. I was for sure he was going to hit me, before he could do anything I blacked out.

--Daryl's POV:

      I walked up to Bella, not sure what I was going to do just that I was mad. I was a foot away from her and she started to breathe heavily, then she just blacked out. I caught her right before she hit her head. Carol was right behind me freaking out. "What happened? What did you do?" She screamed. I picked her up bridal style and turned around. "She had a panic attack." I simply said and carried her inside to the back room of the RV I covered her up with a blanket. I used to get panic attacks all the time when I felt that I was about to be abused by my dad, or Merle. I got a really bad panic attack when my mom died. I look down at Bella. 'She's very beautiful. Her hairs a long chocolate brown, she has pretty green eyes, that look stunning and could make the grass green again. She has dimples when she smiles, I wish she would smile more . She is so quiet, something's wrong with her. She tries to stay in the shadows she's weak. She's like me..... we're broken, closed off from the world. We put borders up to keep from being hurt so easily. We try not to show emotion. She would make a great.......Dixon?' What am I think she would never like someone like me. Would she?'
