I And Love And You

Chapter 19

Beth's P.O.V

Oh god. Dad. His leg is gone. It's cut off, why!? "Daryl! Why is his leg gone!" I yelled crying. "Sh, come here." He said pulling me into a hug. "Why?" I whispered again. "His leg got bit, we had to try and safe him, so we cut off his leg to fight infection. Lori is gonna save him. I promise." I don't know why but I know he's right. If it were anybody else telling me this, I'd reconsider. I looked into the cell and all I saw was red. Blood was everywhere. But this isn't any blood. It was my dad's. "Oh god." I whispered. I felt someone grab my arm and pull me away from the sight. "Don't look Greene, don't look." It was Daryl. I cried into his shoulder some more but I had to stop. Tears don't help anything. "H-He's gonna be ok." I said. "Damn straight Greene." He whispered and kissed the top of my head.

I was sitting beside my dad and holding his chained hand. "Just a precaution." Rick had said. I understand. In case he turns. I had an idea. I'm going to cut out all of his right pant legs. When he wakes up he won't need that one. Right? As I was doing so Maggie came in. "What are you doing?" She asked. "He's gonna have a hard time trying to walk around with his pant leg dragging behind." I said holding up the right pant leg. "Beth you know that, there is a very big chance he won't wake up." "Why are you so eager to give up on him!?" I said glaring at my sister. I've had it. With everyone losing their hope and faith in life. "I'm not giving up on him-" "Sure sounds like it." I spat back at her. "I don't want you to get your hopes to high, we aren't equipped to deal with something like this." "We have Carol." "She's not a doctor. Dad told her a few things to help with the baby." "She. Stopped. The bleeding!" I growled at her. Before this ever started I would have never growled, or talked back to Maggie because she was usually right. But now I know she's wrong. "This will do just fine." I said as T-Dog  walked on with the food. "Food's here!" He called. "What ya got?" Carl questioned. He started to go on and on about canned food. I quietly chuckled. I started to go over to where dad was but over heard Maggie instead. "You don't have to fight anymore. If you're worried about me and Beth don't-don't worry about us. We'll take care of eachother. Go ahead dad, it's ok. Be peaceful. You don't have to fight. If it's time to go it's ok. I just wanna thank you. For everything, thank you. She's crying now and I was crying too. I'm being selfish. I've been wanting him to survive to live with me. But this way he can die a peaceful death. Maggie was right. She was right.

Nothing has improved. He's breathing but, it's shallow. We have all gathered around, just waiting. That's all we can do. Wait. We all heard a door open. "I thought you were organizing food?" Glenn said. "Even better." Carl said. He put a bag on the ground. It was full of medical supplies. Carol got straight to work on bandaging up my dad. I know what Carol said made me angry but I know she was just looking out for me. Lori and Carl started fighting. Carl was screaming in Lori's face. "Carl! She is your mother, you can't talk to her that way." Can't he see that you shouldn't take parents for granted in this world. My dad is laying there. He could die at any second but he has the nerve to yell at his mother. He stormed off.

Me and Carl were standing outside the cell with Maggie inside. I'm scared. I'm losing hope that he will wake up. If he doesn't he'll be will mom and Shawn. Everytime I think he won't wake up I think that he won't be alone. He'll be with family. His wife and son. Maggie suddenly got up with a look of fear on her. "W-What's happening?" I asked frantically. She didn't say anything. I gently pushed her out of the way and started screaming. I couldn't help it. I love him to much to let him go. "DO SOMETHING!" I yelled to Maggie she just stood there. In shock. "SOMBODY PLEASE!" I yelled again and Lori came rushing in. She started to perform CPR as me and Maggie were hugging eachother and crying. Suddenly he shot up and grabbed Lori's head. We gasped and started to pull her back and Carl had his gun ready. As we got Lori free he gasped and started to breathe again as he fell back with his eyes closed. It has been a little while but Rick, Daryl, and T-Dog came back. I am so relieved that they made it back safely. Everyone gathered around daddy. I made eye contact with Daryl and he nodded his head slightly. I smiled and focused back on dad. His eyes started to flutter. Me and Maggie both took ahold of his hands. Please wake up, please wake up. His eyes opened. Maggie and me hugged. He's alive. We started to cry tears of joy. Everyone was smiling. It was a happy moment. I just wish it would stay that, at least a couple of days. Maybe a month. 30 days without an accident would be nice.

Dad was sleeping as I went to my cell. "Hey." Daryl said from my cell. "You were right." I said smiling. "About what?" I hugged him and kissed his cheek. "He woke up."
