I Need You (Daryl Dixon Fanfiction)

Chapter 31

Ruth-

I had taken the clothes off Henry gave me, when I tried to return them, he made me keep them. I pulled on a loose white tee shirt, dark gray jeans, my black hoodie, and Daryl's vest. I sat by my window, with it open as I smoked. I hung my leg out the window with my sketch book in front of me, and a charcoal piece in my hand. I started sketching Daryl's hands, at least what I had remembered of them.

"Open the gate!" One of the guards yelled, I looked up as the gates opened, and saw a man with a horse walk in.

His hair went past his shoulders, half of it messily pulled back out of his face, he wore a black zip up hoodie under a faded black trench coat, and patched up dark jeans, with big boots on to finish it. A crossbow rested on his back, he held the strap firmly on his shoulder as he looked around. My dad went up to him, and hugged him, seeming to know who he was. My dad then pointed in my direction and I ducked out of the window, my sketchbook falling out the window, damn it. I breathed heavily for a moment, then took a deep breath and headed downstairs, firmly gripped the hem of Daryl's vest. The man in the trench coat was holding my sketchbook waiting for me." Thank you." I said quietly.

"Ruth." His gruff voice sent familiar chills down my spine. I looked up at him into his soft blue eyes, then it struck me, and tears welled up in my eyes. He smiled warmly at me." Ruth." He said again holding out his arms to me.

"Daryl?" I crashed into him, hugging him tightly, tears streaming from my eyes, his embrace felt like home, it felt familiar, comfortable, warm, it felt normal." You're alive." I cried.

"I am." He kissed the top of my head.

"You're alive." I whispered over and over again, trying to convince myself this was real. He continued to hug me tightly.
