Never Make A Promise (TWD/ Daryl Dixon FanFic)

Promise x

Everyone sat around a table in the cafeteria, well except Daryl who was learning against a wall and I was sitting on a counter top next to Glenn.

Everyone was laughing and joking, Lori let Carl try some whine which he hated so Lori had his share and Glenn tries to put his bottle down but Daryl spoke up "not you Glenn" we both looked up at him "what?" he chuckled confused "drink up little man, I wanna see how red your face gets" I smiled at Glenn as he cautiously put the bottle to his lips, I shook my head and tilted the bottle up making him cough and splutter but he was too tipsy to complain though.

Rick then stood up when he noticed Jenner sitting all by himself, he tapped his glass gently with a fork to gain everyone's attention "seems we haven't thanked our host properly" everyone cheered saying 'here, here' but Daryl being Daryl shouted 'booya' making me laugh and yelled 'booya' too.

"so you going to tell us what the hell happened here Doc?" Shane asked once our laughter had died down to chuckles "we're celebrating, Shane" Rick mumbled "we don't need to do this now" "Whoa, wait a second. This is why we are here right?" Shane spat. "This was your move, suppose to find all the answers. Instead we find him, one man. why?" his voice rose as he pointed at Jenner.

I eyed Shane, he is so rude and disrespectful but he did have a blunt point. We all listened as Jenner spoke up at last "Well, when things got bad, a lot of people left. Went to be with their families. And when things got worse, when the militiary cordon got over run, the rest bolted. The ones who stayed couldn't walk out those doors. They....opted out. There was a rash of suicides. That was the bad time. But I just kept working, hoping to do some good"

I looked around and saw everyone staring intently at Jenner even the drunk ones like Glenn looked interested, I rolled my eyes not wanting to hear anymore "so Doc.... where's the shower?" I asked, changing the subject "here, I'll show you" he said standing up as everyone followed. I jumped down from the counter and walked out the door with Daryl hot on my heels.

"Most of the facility is powered down," Jenner explained, leading us down a hallway. "Including housing, so you'll have to make do. There's a rec room down the hall that the kids might enjoy. Just don't plug in the video games or anything that draws power. same applies if you shower. Go easy on the hot water." with that he walked off leaving me, T-dog and Glenn with goofy smiles on our faces as everyone else picked a room "did he say hot water?" Glenn beemed "that's what thean said" I laughed hysterically as I ran to the end room.

There wasn't much, two cots and a couch. I threw my pack on the floor and flopped on the closest bed 'oh this is nice' I though to myself. I then suddenly realized that the water in the bathroom was running, I turned my head to the side and saw a crossbow leaning again the wall, I sighed, standing up and walking out the room.

Every other room was taken by someone so it was either the rec room, Daryl or Shane. So considering I hate Shane's guts right now and I'd have to sleep on an uncomfortable couch I decided to room with Daryl.

When I walked back into the room Daryl was laying on his bed with no shirt on, just his ripped pants "urm..." I started but his muscular chest destracted me "what?" he huffed annoyed. I shook my head "all the rooms are taken and I don't feel like shareing with that asshole Shane so I'm your roommate" I smiled walking to the bathroom with my backpack, not giving Daryl a chance to speak.

Feeling the hot water on my skin is the best thing that's happened since this apocalypse started. I just stood under the running water letting it burn my skin, it was nice until a curtain blue eyed person came into mind. I tried to shake my head of the feeling I had in the pit of my stomach and turned off the shower, wrapping a towel around me so I could dry my hair.

Once I was completely dried I walked out of the bathroom in my baggy jeans and ripped tanktop. "wha' ya think ye doing?" Daryl asked with that on again, off again Southern accent "I just had a shower if you doing mind" I shot back, smirking. He then muttered something under his breath so I walked backwards slowly and ran up, jumping on him as he layed on his bed. I laughed while he was tried to push me off, seeing as it was pointless because I am the most stubborn Bitch you will ever have the pleasure to meet Daryl stopped trying and looked up at me.

"why'd you move?" that was a bit random but I answered anyway "I had to get out of that town, reinvent myself you know" he nodded understanding "why didn't you tell me? I had to find out by my dumbass brother" I could tell Daryl was getting angry so I did what I use to do to calm him.

I crawled over to where he was sitting with his back against the head board and his legs stretched out in front of him, I layed between his legs and wrapped his arms around me, putting my head on his chest so I could listen to his now steady heart beat.

"I just can't believe you never told me" he muttered sadly, I lifted my head up and looked at him "I'm here noq..." "you never gave a shit about me!" he almost yelled, cutting me off. He stood up, pushing me out the way. he started pacing back and forward while running a hand through his hair "Daryl" I said softly grabbing his muscular arm  "I'm here now" I said again, cupping his cheeks in my hands "I will never leave you... ever" I promised and I was determined to keep this promise.
