Just Me & You

Chapter 4: Lonely Insecurities

Beth

I walked on my own. Daryl was too far ahead. Hell, he couldn't even wait for me. I can't believe he's being this much of a dick to me. This is really not what I wanted. I can't turn around, either way I'm gonna die. I was starting to lose sight of Daryl. He was running. As if we were that close to the canyon. I always thought he would be there to protect me. Who knew that this stupid canyon would come before me. Everything had been a lie. This whole relationship was fake. I'm so stupid for following him, even if I wanted to go out into the world on my own there is no saying I would even ever survive.

Daryl had stopped walking giving time to catch up to him as he stared at the canyon. 

"It's beautiful." He gasped. I'll admit it was a pretty nice place. It wasn't too bad but this whole trip is so naive and risky. "Hell, maybe we can have some fun after all" he smiled at me like everything was okay. I turned away. "Is everything okay" Daryl asked me. 

"No" I cried. "You're so caught up and excited about this place that you were literally leaving me behind. Why. Why didn't you wait for me" I yelled. He didn't reply.

"Why" I was becoming angry. "Why" I slapped him in the face. "Were you hoping that I wouldn't follow you and drag your dreams behind?" I could no longer see his eyes, his eyes were covered by his long brown fringe. "Why didn't wake me?" Tears poured down my face. "Why have you been ignoring me all this time" I couldn't stop crying. "Who am I to you" I wiped my tears away.

Daryl had his arm covering his face as if he was hiding himself from crying. He removed his arm, he truly looked ugly when he cried. "I'm sorry" was all that came out of his mouth. "I thought you didn't care" he began. "You were so up set yesterday about us going to the canyon. I-I thought it wouldn't make a difference if I went by myself. 

"Your right, it doesn't" I wiped all my tears away. "I'm dead with or without you." "Goodbye" this is all I could think of to say. Anything else I would be living in pain. I walked away in the other direction from where Daryl was going. Nothing could stop this. Daryl watched me walk away in the distance. As I walked away I could not stop crying. 

Daryl

I watched the love of my life walk away. Tears ran down my face. Although she couldn't let me have one thing. Without her this entire resort feels lonely. I feel as though something is missing. The Grand Canyon, pfft what a stupid dream, I don't want to be here anymore. This place makes me sick.

Shes far gone by now, I don't even want to call her by her name. She is probably dead, then what am I. Worthless. I left the building, I walked past all the walkers I had killed at the resort. I start to run and find her. The dust I create from running makes me stop. I can't breathe through this. But for her I'll do anything. 

Beth

I can't believe him. He has everything now and what do I get nothing. I'm not going back for him. Why would I go back for him, so I could feel sorry for the scum bag: I don't even want to see him again. I've come so far I'm not turning back for him. If I die, I hope I don't die from his hands. 

Daryl

She couldn't have gone far now. Shes close but yet so far away. Why did I stay in that resort for such a long time. God how could I be so selfish. Oh I just hope she'll forgive me for being this naive. I'm a grown man, I can't believe I'm acting like this. I hope she'll understand and take me back as a man and as her man. 

Beth

It's getting late, I better rest up soon or who knows I might ca lapse. Even if do it wont matter I'm still dead even though I am still living. 

Daryl

The sun is setting, she'll surely soon stop. Although I wont stop I need to make things up with her. I know she will understand, she'll have to. I don't even want to go through with going to the canyon anymore. I continue to find her. As the sun sets I see a silhouette of someone setting up a camp site. That's her. I run as fast as I can.
