Daryl the Protector

(Set before the apocalypse when you and Daryl were teens)

Warning: Some cussing. Ages 12+

Summary: You snuck in Daryl's room at night. You never got caught but Daryl's dad, Will, heard you laugh and tried to kill you. Daryl saved you from his father. Then you save Daryl in return.

For the past 2 years you had been sneaking into Daryl's house. You live about 1 mile away so it was easy. Every night at 12:00pm to 3:00am you were in his room. Just talking and spending time with each other. He loved spending time with you because his dad would never let you guys hangout during the day. He always had a rope ladder outside his window. So when it wasn't there, it either meant his dad was still up. or he wasn't home.

You were walking up to his house. The ladder was there, thank God! You had a lot to tell him. You hadn't seen each other for a week. That's the longest you had ever been apart for the last 2 years! Best friends need to see each other at lease three times a week! You climbed up the ladder and opened the window. Daryl was sitting on his bed facing you. You smiled and climbed in. You sat down next to him. "I have missed you so much, Y/n." You hugged for a while. He finally let go. "I missed you too, man."

You both laid on the bed and just stared into space. He looked over at you and said, "So, what have you been up to? Without me, probably nothing." You gasped very loudly. "What? I have lots of friends! Like...Umm..." He giggled. "So...Nothing?" You sighed. "Yeah." The look he gave you was one of a kind. You busted out laughing. He laughed with you. Daryl didn't even know why you were laughing. He was laughing because you laughed. He couldn't help it.

You guys didn't realize how loud you were till he heard the door slam. He put his finger up to your mouth. "Shhh." You stayed as quiet as you possibly could. All of a sudden, the door busts open! Merle. "Oh my God! Merle, you almost gave me a heart attack! I almost pissed my pants. Daryl nudged you. "What? Its true." Merle laughed and hugged you. "Long time, no see. What have you been doin'? Daryl has been wining for a week about you!" Daryl looked down and blushed. You were going to giggle but you were interrupted by a gunshot.

His dad had a gun in his hand and had shot the ceiling. He had the gun pointed at you. Merle was going to step in front of him but Daryl beat him to it. The gun went off with a loud bang! The bullet had gone through Daryl's leg. "DARYL!!" Merle grabbed Will by the shirt and threw him outside. "Merle! You can kick his ass later!"

Merle ran to your side and sat there looking at Daryl. "Hey, listen to me. I need you to get some thread, a needle and rubbing alcohol. Can you do that?" He looked panicked an nodded. You turned your attention back to Daryl and put pressure on the wound. You flipped his body over and checked for an exit wound. There was a hole it the other side. You rolled him back over and tried to wake him up. His heart was still going normal. Merle came back with the stuff and sat them down next to you. "Thanks. Now I need you to get a towel." He got back up and rat to the bathroom. He ran back with a large towel in his hand.

You had finished sticking him up. He was still not responding though. So you sat down next to his bed with Merle. "Don't worry, sugar. He will wake up. Soon, I hope." Daryl started fluttering his eyes. "Merle. Look." You both stared at him. "Y/n? What happened?" You chuckled. "Man you don't want to know. I will tell you tomorrow night." You walked to him and hugged him. You just climbed out the window and went home. On the way home you found you self saying, "Daryl, my protector."
