Living in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Heartbreak, Again

Staying in the same position for probably hours, I cried the whole time. It felt like my heart had been shattered then cut into little pieces and stomped on.

I felt ill, my body wouldn't move. I was weak from everything but this pushed me over the edge.

All I could do is curl up in a ball and continue on crying before my body caved in causing me to fall in a deep sleep out in the open.

I feel someone kicking my feet, I look up and see a walker gnawing on my right shoe. My adrenaline pumps throughout my body causing me to use my left foot with all my might and kick the bastard in the head.

I continue to beat his skull with my right foot until the body goes limp. I stand up and grab my crossbow and make my way back to the cabin with a limp. I must of hurt my knee because I couldn't really put much weight on it.

The sun was almost down it and it was chilly already outside.

The tears begin to poor down my face, no matter how I tried to not cry they came out. A broken heart is the worst feeling ever.

I peered out of the forest and saw the cabin I was ready to go back and feel a little safer.

I took one step and I remember falling to the ground. My head hurt and I fell unconscious.

I regain my consciousness on and off but once I finally wake up I feel my head wrapped and my knee also wrapped too. I immediately sit up and see Carol in front of me.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"What happened? Why is my head wrapped?"

"Beth was on watch and thought she saw a walker and accidentally shot you. She grazed your head, and your knee was beaten up pretty bad and for your eyes, they were swollen. You must of cried your eyes out. I'm sorry for what all went down. Daryl can be a asshole but he doesn't know what to do in a relationship. It is clear that he doesn't but I know for a fact he cares, he was the one who almost beat Beth. He yelled at her that's for sure. Hershel got mad at Daryl and nearly punched him but I could tell Hershel was too scared to." She giggles.

"Jesus, how long have I been out?"

"Two and a half days."

"Two and a half days? Where are we anyways? This isn't the same cabin we were at."

"We were forced to move, I forgot that part. Walkers surrounded us we had no option but to run."

"Thank you for caring for me Carol, I truely means a lot to me. I wanna know, how did you know it was me and not a walker?"

"T was on the roof and saw it was you. We were ready for a memorial but we saw you were still breathing and not bitten."

"Oh, well I'll have to thank T too, actually the whole group. Also how did Dar-" I pause for a minute before saying, "Never mind."

"He thought he lost you, at least for a moment."

Tears roll down my eyes, just speaking of him kills me.

Carol carefully wraps her arm around me and comforts me.

"It's alright, sweetie. I know what a broken heart is like but you actually have a chance to fix it."

"You heard him, he said he didn't care."

Carol pulls me out of the hug and places her hands on my shoulders and says, "Working it out it better then seeing him for the rest of your life and having your heart ripped out everytime you look at him."

"He should be the one!"

"Daryl doesn't know what to do, he's clueless. He needs to be taught."

"I will later, I need to heal and I don't wanna have my heart crushed anymore."

"Okay, how about a nice sandwich. You haven't eaten in two days."

"Sounds wonderful! Wait, is Batman, er, the black cat with us."

"Yes, he wouldn't leave your side. I had feed him minutes ago before you woke up." Carol said with a huge smile.

"Thank you again for everything, Carol!"

"No problem."

I hear a door open and Carl comes and sits right next to me.

"How are you?"

"I've had better days, ya little rascal. What have you been up to?"

"Nothin much, Mom won't let me do too much."

"Just always be careful Carl."

"I gotta go, my Dad's gonna take me out for a walk."

"Have fun."

Carl runs out and I lie down, my head was killing me.

Carol arrives back with a chicken salad sandwich and a glass of water.

"Eat, it will help."

As I did, I quickly ate and wanted to get some fresh air.

I get up and head out front with ease. It didn't hurt too bad but I wanted to unwrap my knee because it was restraining me.

I sit on the steps and stare into the forest. I see that my bike is here. I wanted to know how.

Daryl comes into view and stands right in front of me.

"How're ya feelin?"

"Fuck off."

"Whatever, just so ya fuckin know I saved yer ass."

I stand up and deck his stomach. I kind of felt a little bad but he clearly wasn't heart broken.

"You're such an asshole! You said you didn't care, so don't care anymore."

"Fine! I won't anymore!"

"So you won't care if I leave then."

Daryl's face goes from pissed off to shocked.

"Yer leavin? Why?"

"You fuckin broke my heart, I can't stand to even see you! I don't want to look at you and cry because of what you did!"

Tears come pouring down my face, I couldn't fight them back.

"Grace, I don want ya ta leave, I say these things 'cause I-I have never loved anyon. I love ya too much 'n I don know what ta do. I want ta be there for ya, I just don know how to, I feel like I'll just hurt ya even more. I didn't mean ta break yer heart but I was so pissed off at the asshole who nearly raped ya. It hurt me ta see ya cut up like that 'n now ya have more injuries 'cause of me." I see tears also escape down his face.

I couldn't stand to see him cry, I broke my heart, even more.

"Don't you fucking ever shatter my heart like that ever again or I think I might seriously die!"

Daryl wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me up and hugs me.

He lowers me down and kisses the top of my head.

"You're not getting off easy though!"

"I don't care as long as I have ya."

"I do mean it though."

I began to feel dizzy, I couldn't really stand up.

I feel Daryl's grip tighten before everything turns black.
