Never Knew

Addison.

"Savannah" I yell up the stairs "yeah" she says as she walks out of her cell. "I'm gonna go on a run with daryl" I tell her. "Just you and Daryl" she smirks. "Yes, just me and Daryl." "Have fun" she smiles. "What's that supposed to mean?" I laugh. "Well I mean you and him were in that guard tower for an awfully long time." She stated with a wicked smile. "Fuck off" I laugh and walk away.
"Ready?" Daryl asks as I walk out of the prison. "Yep" I say. "What's with the smile?" He asks "Nothing, just happy" I say and jump in the truck. We're not taking the bike Because were hoping to bring back some supplies. We're running low. "Whatever you say" he mumbles and Jumps in also. "So what exactly are we looking for?" I ask as we pull out of the prison. "Anything that'll help. Clothes food medicine." He lists. "Alright."
We pull up to a store. The sighn read "Fixers" "This is an old store. When I was little my foster dad always came in a place like this for booze" I say as we exit the truck. "My old man came here" Daryl mutters. "Let's go in"
We grab a duffle bag from the back and go threw the side door. I open the door and Daryl takes the walker out that was banging on it. When we walk in I head straight for the medical area. Daryl goes to the food. "There isn't much left here, just a couple antibiotics" I exclaim to Daryl. "I cleared out the rest of the food. Bout a dozen can food and a couple bottles of water." "It's better then nothing" I say. "There's another store about 30 minutes down the road, came across it with T-dog on a run once. When we first got to the prison." Daryl says. "Let's go then" I say. I really miss T-dog. He was like a light at the end of a tunnel now that same damn tunnels looking dark and grey. He always had something to say. He always had a positive thing to say about a dark situation. I remember this one time. Right after Dale died

FLASHBACK

"Hey Caroline" T-dog says as he aproches me. "Hey T" I say sadly.
"Hey look I know you feel responsible for Dale's death, I overheard Daryl telling Rick." I didn't say anything. "it wasn't your fault" "yeah it was" I mumble with tears running down my face. "No caroline, it wasn't. Listen Dale, he was a good man. He was like a father to so many of us. It's not your fault he's gone. Plus he's in a better place. I know he is. I can feel it, he's at peace. He's with his wife. And Amy, Jim, Jackie all of em." T-dog says. "I look up and smile at him. "Thanks T" I says and get up from my spot at the bottom of the tree and hug him. "No problem"
FLASHBACK OVER

"Hey you okay?" Daryl asked as he grabbed my hand "yeah, just thinking" I say. "Ya sure?" He asks. "Yeah I'm sure. Looks like we're here" I say and kiss him and jump out of the truck. "yeah" he mumbles and follows me. "This place looks so untouched." I state. "The doors are chained locked. Got some bolt cutters in the back." Daryl says as he heads back over to the truck.
"Come on" we break the chains on the door and go in. There's only a couple walkers in here and we quickly take them out. "I'm gonna look over here" I tell Daryl as I point towards the indoor pharmacy. "Keep your bow up, stay alert" he says. "Will do."
I'm looking threw the different medications. Most of them are expired. "CARE" I hear Daryl yell. I run over to him and see him standing in a door way to a broom closet. "Daryl?" He steps aside and I see a little girl. She's dirty, her hairs a mess and it looks like she hasn't eaten in days. I get down on my knees in front of her. "Hey..." I start but she scoots away. "Hey we're not gonna hurt you, my name's Caroline, and that's Daryl, what's your name?" I ask. "Add--Ad-Addison" she says. "Well Addison, are you alone?" I ask. "My mom-mmy left. She di--didnt come bac--back" she stutters. I look back at Daryl and he just nodds. "Do you wanna come with us?" I ask and she leans into my arms. "Please take me. I--i don't wanna be alone anymore" she cries. "Okay, okay we'll take you" I say and put my arms around her. I carry her out the doors and sit with her in the back seat my arms still around her. Daryl jumps in the front seat and takes us back to the prison.
We pull up and Addison is asleep Daryl comes around and opens my door. I get out and Rick walks up. "How'd the run g--, who's that?" Rick asks as he gets closer "her name's Addison. We found her and she was alone. I wasn't gonna leave her there. Daryl picks her up "where's she going?" He asks. "Put her on the top bunk of my cell." He nodds and walks Into the prison. "Caroline, we can't just be adding people to our group. We're struggling enough as it is" Rick says as I grab some of the stuff from the back. "I'll take care of her. She can't be older then 13. She was alone. I know that feeling all to much and I wasn't gonna leave her." I say and head into the prison. I walk toward my cell and Savannah stops me. "Who's the girl?" She asks. "Her names Addison. She's gonna be joining us." I say and go to my cell. Daryls there covering Addison up when I walk in. "Your good with her." I say. He just scoffed. "you are." I laugh quietly. "you should get some sleep it's getting late. He says and kisses me. "yeah.." I say and sit on my bed and take my shoes off. Daryl sits down too and starts unlacing his boots. "thought you weren't sleeping in no cage?" I say. "I'll make an exception" he says and lays down. I just smile and lay my head on his chest. "I love you" I say. And close my eyes. "I love you too"
