My lover's got humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner
Take Me To Church ~ Hozier
////////////////////////////////////////////

It's been a few weeks since the prison. Daryl has been distant. Beth hurt her ankle. We found a house when we were walking. Right now, Beth and Daryl and playing 'Never Have I Ever', which is a drinking game. They wanted me to play, but someone has to be on the look out.

I wasn't paying attention to what they were saying. All of a sudden, Daryl gets up, being loud. I tell him to shut up, but he got louder. He drags Beth outside with his crossbow, and I follow them.

"Daryl stop. I don't know what y'all said in there, but you need to calm down."

He gets behind Beth and she looks at me. I walk over there and try to pry him off of her. He pushes me back a little and he makes her shoot the crossbow at the walker.

"Really Daryl? What are you doing?!"

I stab the walker in the head and said,

"That's enough."

(I'm just gonna make up what Daryl says lol)

"Since when do you know what's enough? Why didn't you think that when you were hurting yourself? Did you care about what my feelings were? How about Beth? Rick? Glenn? You broke their heart, especially mine and your brothers. You made them have another thing to worry about. Rick sees you as his daughter. So why would you do that? He was worried everyday. He didn't want to see you as a walker. Do you know why? Because we love you. And I guess you were to selfish to see that. All you cared about was hurting yourself. Not me. Not Beth. Carl came to me crying after he found out what you do. Spencer didn't know what to do. And did you see that? No. We are your family now. Someone told me that family doesn't start with blood anymore. It starts with the people you care about. And those people care about you. And you need to care about them more because you are apart of the family."

I looked at Daryl. He was on the verge of tears.

"And now, we don't know if they are alive anymore. How would you live with yourself, knowing that you put them through that kind of worry? And me. Was your goal to make me stop you? Because you want me to do everything for you. I'm starting to question our relationship. Do you really love me, or are you just saying that?"

My eyes went wide. Where did that come from?I couldn't believe he just said that. Beth said,

"Daryl stop."

I shook my head and said,

"Actually I was starting to ask myself that. You know I love you. You're just saying all of this because you hold in your emotions. You were a ticking bomb waiting to explode. After the prison, that put more on you. And now that we are here, you finally explode. Here you are crying. This is not healthy. Holding stuff in. Daryl, you gotta stop. Yes I love you. And you love me. If you didn't, you wouldn't of asked me to marry you. You watched Hershel die, everyone getting split up, and the prison getting overrun by walkers. You feel like you could've done something. And to be honest, none of us could of done something to stop it. So please stop."

I walk to him and hugged him. He hugged back and calmed down a little.
