Beth's POV

 I looked up from my journal to find Daryl standing in my door way rather than Zach which could mean only one thing. He was dead. As the words came out of Daryl's mouth I got up and began slowing dragging my feet across the concrete sell. as I did so I could not only feel the cold hard feeling of the ground, but I could also feel Daryl's eyes on my every move. As I finally reached my destination I extended my arm for the days without accident sign and changed the number to zero. I looked back to Daryl and made my way to him. He was looking at me with sympathy and a type of curiosity that I couldn't quite place.

" I don't cry anymore Daryl.  I'm just glad I got to know him ya know." I spoke breaking our silence. he quickly responded.

"me too"

I soon realized it wasn't curiosity that I had seen in his eyes it was something I had never seen before. I'm not sure if anyone had seen this in Daryl Dixons eyes before. It was pain, a type of hurt that was deep down and aching.

" Are you okay?" I asked almost positive the answer would be the opposite of what he was feeling but he surprised me and for the first time Daryl was surrounding himself in vulnerability.

" I'm just tired of loosing people is all" He answered whilst keeping his eyes on the ground. I moved closer to him and wrapped my arms around his waist not expecting him to hug back not even expecting him to let me. both expectations were wrong . Although he tensed at first he still brought his arms up to hold me. I put my face into his shoulder as I spoke.

" I'm glad I didn't say goodbye........I hate goodbye's "

He responded quietly.

Me too.
