I And Love And You

Chapter 17

Beth's P.O.V

We got the prison cleared out. It's great. We each have a cell and our very own bed. We don't have to sleep on the floor! I am so happy my back was starting to hurt. I'm also happy that we found a safe place for Lori's baby to be born. We are finally safe. I was in my cell when I heard a knock on the wall. "Hey." Daryl said. "Hey." "How you holding up, after... Patricia." "Oh I mean I'm sad she's gone, she was taken right out of my arms. I saw her dying face, like what happened with Dale. I mean you were the last person he saw. You saw how scared he was, the pain. But one thing that comes to my mind when I think of her is her last words. She said for me to go be with the man I love. She said she saw how I looked at him. I don't know what she means by that. I don't know if she was just, confused about what was happening. I just don't know." "You'll figure it out. You're a smart girl." Daryl said. How could I figure it out. "I remember my moms last words. Before the house burnt down, with her in it. She said to get the hell away from my pa. She didn't understand. Who was I gonna go too. I-I was only ten. Merle left without me. How could I have made it out on the streets. She said that I am gonna make it. That I will make it out of that hellhole. Funny thing is, I did." He paused. "But I didn't make it out with her." He got up and left me there. "Daryl wait." I said. He stopped and looked at me. It was getting late, and I was tired but I didn't want him to leave. Not yet. "C-Can you stay. Please." "Beth I don't know." "Please." "What would your dad think." "Please." I said more sternly that time. I needed him to stay. I don't know why but I do. "Ok." He said and got in beside me. I curled myself around him and fell asleep.

Time Skip!

Beth's P.O.V

I woke up and he wasn't there anymore. He must have gotten up to do something. As I brushed out my hair and put it up in my usual ponytail I put on my black long sleeve shirt and green vest, then I put on my blue jeans and boots. As I walked out I saw Carol and Daryl talking. I know it sounds childish but I eavesdropped. "I saw you walk out of Beth's cell this morning." Carol said. She didn't sound to happy. "Yeah, so." He mumbled. "So you are so much older than her. She's just a kid!" She practically got in face. He glared at her. "It's nothing like that. She doesn't want it to be that way anyways!" He yelled back at her. "Anything going on out here." Rick said coming around the corner. "No." Daryl growled. "Stay away from her." Carol growled in his face then left. Rick looked confused but didn't say anything. "I'm going on a hunt." He said then left. The only thing I could think of right now is on thing. That bitch.
