Alex's POV

My eyes are heavy, and all I can see is darkness. I'm awake, but can't see. My stomach hurts, it's almost unbearable. I try my hardest to wake up and figure out what is going on. I feel someone's hand in mine, as I try to use my senses to figure out where I am.

My breathing quickens and I wish I had just stayed asleep. I feel soft blankets over my body. I take deep breathes as the hand in mine tightens.

I use a lot of energy to open my eyes, but I can only get one open at a time. I blink slowly my eyelids feeling like weights on my eyes. I look over once I've regained my sight to see not my parents, but...Daryl sitting next to me.

He's snoring, almost like a car that won't start up. I look out the windows and see that it's dark outside, and all the lights inside are turned off. How long have I been asleep?

I turn my head downwards to see a large bandage across my stomach and some red substance staining part of it. I take my free hand and lightly touch it, only to wince when it shoots pain through my body.

"Ouch" I hiss silently, but I guess it was loud enough to wake Daryl up. "Wh-where am I?" I breath out pain taking over.

"Yur', in a house. You and yer' smart little brother decided ta get shot" the Dixon answers. I look over realization hitting me, and taking in what had happened to me. Carl, he was shot too. I open my mouth to ask something but Daryl cuts me off "he's alright. Your parents are in with him. He's already woke up" he says retreating his hand from mine. "Now, sleep. You need to rest. Glad your alive...friend"

I smile over at Daryl happy that he wasn't acting mean anymore. I nod at the man before I let sleep take over me, instantly taking away all my pain.
