Dixon Charm II

Chapter Four - Love & Sadness

-Lucy P.o.v-
Maggie and I finally gathered our emotions and stood up and headed back to the road to see Daryl a bit angry, I sigh and pat Maggie's shoulder before walking over to him. "Where did you go?" He ask sternly, "I just went to..talk to Maggie." I say hiding the fact I was just sobbing, "why are your eyes red and puffy?" He ask, "allergies." I say a bit harshly as I turn on my heel and walk over to Rick as I take Ryder from his arms as we exchange smiles. I turn around as it fades and I sigh as I walk over to Maggie.

She smiles sadly as she wraps an arm around my shoulder, we talk a bit as Ryder stays quiet and latched onto me. I just want to live peacefully and I want Daryl and I to be happy and not annoyed with each other...I want to hold him close and calm him but we're out here, in hell.

All of a sudden Rick speaks up, "we're gonna have to find shelter, there's a storm coming.." He says as everyone nods and continues walking. We suddenly find a old, beat up barn. We all run inside as the storm starts to get bad, we close the barn doors and chain them loosely.

I walk over to a barn corner as I set Ryder down as he runs over to Daryl, I smile tiredly as I curl up and stare at the ground. Daryl hates me, he doesn't love me anymore does he? He hates me because I'm broken...

I let my tears fall as I hold my sobs back, I wipe my tears away and sniffle. I'm a mess honestly, Matt's gone and Beth is to...I lost family. This group is my family!

I gasp as I feel a hand on my shoulder, I look at the person to see Carl. He sighs and sits beside me as Judith is in his arms, "I brought you a blanket-" "do you think Daryl hates me?" I ask as Carl looks at me, "are you kidding me? Daryl loves you. He's just sad like everyone else.." He says as I shake my head, "I know it's just I feel as if he..hates me." I whisper as tears stream down my cheeks. Carl rest his head on my shoulder as I rest my head on his. Maybe Carl's right? No! He's not Lucy..Daryl hates you for acting like you are! You little girl..

I bite my lip to keep my sobs inside as I take deep breaths. My head is right...

Daryl hates me...
