We All Start As Strangers ~ A Daryl Dixon Fanfiction

Chapter 11 ~ Wandering

~~~~~~~~DARYLS P.O.V~~~~~~~

I stood up and helped Jessie's mom up and helped her to her cell Emmy followed her. I remembered that I had left Hallie and Carl back at the farm I ran outside and got in Hershel's truck I decided to take his so we could all fit then I drove off into the dark night. when I arrived at the farm I drove to the spot I told them to wait at. they weren't there.

"Carl? Hallie?"

I whispered

all of a sudden a bush moved and they walked out of it with someone else.

"Guys who is this.."

I said confused and frustrated at the same time.

"Daryl just let us take her back to camp we will explain when we get there."

Hallie replied

"Fine."

I said

it was a long and silent car ride back to camp. i wasnt very excited to meet this girl that hallie and carl had found. I don't think rick is going to be to happy about it either. I mean we already have a whole bunch of people at the camp. we pulled in to the prison and I parked the truck and went into the prison. hallie the girl and Carl followed. Rick greeted us at the entrance of the cell block.

he ran up to Carl and hugged him

"CARL! MY GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"

he yelled.

Carl hugged his father back smiling.

I was still pretty beat up about jessie.

I started to walk off to go to my cell.

"hey Daryl wait!"

hallie yelled

i turned around and started walking towards her and the girl

"what."

I said in a aggravated tone

"can she sleep with you all the cells are full..."

hallie said with plead in her eyes

"are you kidding me? we just met and it was YOUR Idea to bring her here."

I yelled

"Daryl please."

hallie pleaded

"fine."

I said rolling my eyes

I stormed off to my cell

and she walked in.

"I'm really um.. sorry... I"

she stuttered.

I rolled my eyes and got on the top bunk of the bed while she crawled into the bottom bunk.

the next morning everyone except me and the girl were in the cafe having breakfast.

I jumped off the bunk.

and checked the bottom bunk to see if she was okay I guess

she was still asleep her knees tucked to her chest and shivering. I pulled the blanket from my bunk and covered her with it.

damn. i don't know why I was being such a douche lastnight. I felt kind've bad. I went and joined everyone in the cafe.

"good morning princess"

Rick laughed

"don't make me come over there and beat that ass of yours"

I said sternly

he just laughed.

I grabbed some of the breakfast and sat at the bench with hallie and carl.

"how did she do lastnight?"

hallie asked

"she's fine..."

I replied

"good thanks for taking her in lastnight." hallie said

"yeah yeah"

I replied

just then she walked into the cafe with the blanket still wrapped around her. I did sort've a half smile.

"you like her don't you Daryl"

hallie said smirking.

"shut up bitch no I don't. we just met."

I said sternly

hallie winked and went back to eating.

after the girl finished eating she came and sat by me.

"mornin"

I said looking at her with my mouth full.

"good morning"

she smiled.

"thanks for taking me in lastnight ...."

she trailed off

hallie smiled

"your welcome"

hallie and Carl got up to throw their trash away.

"so I never caught your name?"

"amanda.."

she smiled

I liked that. amanda.

"I'll um be right back"

I said

I started off towards my cell

and sat on the edge of the bottom bunk.

did I like amanda?

I couldn't. what about jessie.

jessie. god I missed her

I missed her so much.

I thought to myself

I started to cry.

what have I become?

I fucking softie.

Daryl Dixon isn't supposed to be a softie.

I cried some more thinking about Jessie and how it was all my fault when amanda walked in.

"hey are you okay..?"

amanda said as she came in and sat next to me

"I'll be fine don't worry about me" i replied

she sighed

"if there's anything I can do to help let me know I kinda do owe you one..

she smiled and walked out
