The fake boyfriend (A bethyl story)

What happened to Daryl Dixon?

Me and my family had arrived in Georgia at night time and when they asked me about Daryl,I just told them that his work place needed him back in.

That night I asked if I could stay at My parents farm and I did because right now I didn't want to be on my own.

My old pink room was always a great deal of comfort with little horse stickers slowly peeling off at the edges.

As a child if I was to have a nightmare I would always stay with Maggie.

Me,Shawn and Maggie were always so close when we were young and don't get me wrong we still are but we all have individual lives now.

Maggie wasn't staying there that night she went to hers and Glenns house closer to the city so I laid in my old small bed cuddling into Maggies old green hoodie she left here wishing I knew what happened to Daryl.

The next morning I left the farm before my parents woke and drove over to Daryls work,the garage.

I saw a man working underneath a car and asked if he had saw Daryl he immediately came out of the car and stood up receiving my full attention.

"He came in about two days ago and said he couldn't work because his brother died"The man spoke making me feel sick to my stomach as I knew how much Merle meant to Daryl.

"Thanks for your help"I ran out of the garage and straight into my little car driving to the one other place I thought Daryl would go....the woods.

I knew it was going to be very hard to find him in a huge woods but I didn't care the least I could do was try.

"Daryl!"I shouted and continued running around the woods until I came across an old beaten down cabin with police tape running around it.

I thought it looked like a crime scene and then I saw two police men through one of the broken windows so I began running back...

I bounced off something hard and fell to the muddy ground.

I looked up to see Daryl standing over me with an outstretched arm which I instantly grabbed and stood up wrapping my cold hands around his neck pulling him in closely.

Daryl pulled away as we stood in silence for a few moments before I spoke up,"I'm so sorry about Merle what happened?"

Daryl met my gaze and I watched anger grow in his eyes,"Have you not heard my Dad beat Merle up so hard that he died from head injuries"

My mouth dropped open in shock as I reached for Daryls hand but he brushed it off almost instantly.

"I shoulda been here,I shoulda protected him but instead I was with you trying to make some dick jealous"Daryl shouted and tried to walk away but I pulled him back by his arm.

"Daryl,we've spoke about this before"I say with calmness in my tone.

"Just leave me alone you stupid bitch"Daryl spat as the words cut deep inside me and he turned his back on me.

"Daryl don't push me away......I love you"I whispered.

Daryl stopped in his tracks and turned around to face me before letting go of all of his emotions and falling gently into my shoulder as I began to run my fingers through his hair soothingly.

I didn't think I'd ever witness Daryl Dixon cry until now.

"I'm sorry I left you,I just had to get outta there"Daryl cried.

"Come on you can come and stay with me"I smile as Daryl lifted his sad and tired face and nodded...
