Till You Need Me

Conflict

Of course, when things go too smoothly something always comes along and ruin it. It was no different now. It all started with a simple run. Judith need more diapers and formula so a couple of people would need to go out and get some and whatever else they could find.

Daryl Volunteer to go and so did you. You need a break away from the prison and just concentrated on something other than Rick because it wasn't helping your feelings for him go away at all. if any it was making it worst.

You were discussing the run with Daryl and making the final arrangements when Rick walked in.

"What's going on?" he asked Daryl looked at you. you shrugged

" Going out on run for more food for Judith and anything else we can grab" you explained. He frowns

"Youre going out? he asked " yeah me and Daryl shouldn't take more than a couple hours at the most " you replied.

" No I don't like it Rick said You sigh. "Rick this is for YOUR daughter " you said trying to remain reasonable.

" it too dangerous for you he replied He looked at Daryl

" get Maggie or Glenn to go " he said and turning and walking out. Your mouth dropped opened and you could stare at where he disappeared.

" Did he just. did that just happen?" you asked turning back to Daryl who was trying to hid a grin.

" I think he just shut you down " he said picking up his crossbow. " no, he didnt. I am going he cant tell me what to do " you said temper flaring

" you sure you want to cross him on this?" Daryl asked " Lets go " you said ignoring his question and headed outside to Daryl 's bike.

*****************************

As you predicted the run only took a couple hours and it was very quiet Glenn and Carl open the gates to let you and Daryl ride back though the bike.

You had hit the jackpot and found a daycare just a little way down the road and they 6 or 7 cans of formula and couple packs of diapers now that were currently tied to the bike. Carl came over to help with the stuff he had an odd look on his face

" what wrong?" you asked him "Dad he is mad that you went out with Daryl. " he said you sigh.

"Don't worry he will get over it " you said as you handed him your bag. Daryl walked up to you.

"You ready to face this?" he asked " yeah worse thing he going to do is yell to be honest it nice to see some kind of emotion in him " you replied. You walked into the prison. Carol and Maggie was sitting at one of the metal benches Carol holding Judith they both gave you looks

" is it that bad?" you asked yep " was Maggie replied. you put down the bags of formula

"Well I better get this over with " you said Where is he?" you asked Courtyard I think " Maggie said. You took a deep breath and headed out there.

He was standing at the fence looking out his back to you but you knew he heard you come up. You stop next to him leaning against with your shoulder facing him

" I am fine." was all you said and he turned on you DIDNT I TELL YOU NOT TO GO!! he yelled AND I TOLD YOU I WOULD BE FINE AND I AM " you snapped

"AND I GOT YOUR DAUGHTER MORE FOOD SO INSTEAD OF YELLING WHY DONT YOU SAY THANK YOU !!" you yelled back. he pushed away from the fence and started pacing.

"That was stupid and foolish anyone else could have gone. why did you have to go.? something could have happened out there and you could have not come back. " he turned around on your

"Didn't you think. do you ever think ... his voice was growing louder again?

THAT ALL I EVER DO IS THINK you realizing you were yelling again. but you couldn't help it

ALL I DO IS THINK ABOUT YOU AND YOUR KIDS. " you said he stop and rounded on you and you had to step back

DONT WE DONT NEED YOU!! he yelled before he walked off. His words left you frozen to the spot You already cracked heart finished breaking into a million pieces. You didn't even realize you were crying until you heard the sob that came out of your mouth.

"y/n? Maggie walked up to you wrapping an arm around you. obviously, the whole group heard the fight.

" he didn't mean. he needs you more than he realizes " she said softly. you continued to cry not able to do anything else.

After a while you pulled away from Maggie " I need some time" you said walked past her and everyone else to your cell threw the covers over the door and threw yourself on your bed.

All your dreams had just hit the floor and busted into a million pieces. Maybe it had been foolish to even believe in the first place that one day he would come to love you like you loved him.

But you had hope and now that hope was completely and utterly gone Damn him. damn you for even going there. But you wouldn't let this break you. you just forget your feelings for him and do what you should have done from the beginning and just worry about your own survivor.

But deep down in your heart that didn't set well with you but at this point that was the best thing you could do.
