Reasons

Hope

valentines day was today and Carol was excited but she played it down secretly hoping that Daryl would catch on. Her crush on him and taken control of her life for almost seven months and it was heaven. Spraying her floral perfume once more she adjusted her necklace and left for school, almost jogging just to see the face of  a certain mr Dixon. He was already at his locker shyly looking at her with his hands shoved in his pockets, whilst she retrieved her school books. Looking back up she saw that he had left for class and decided to join him only to see a rose on her desk with a note attached to it reading her name as he stared down at the table. Taking the rose and placing it in her bag pretending she didn't know who it was from smiling from ear to ear, already planning ahead for her surprise.

"Carol?" Lizzie questioned curiously as the woman had been in her daydream for a while and had let the pan boil over releasing water all over the grubby stove. Turning her attention back to the stove and  turned it down adding in the spaghetti she had managed to find in the mess of his kitchen.

Returning home, Ed yawned and entered with an annoyed groan from his stressful day. His eyes scanned the house with panic creeping into his mind as he could not locate his wife or the little girl that was supposed to be arriving. Screaming Carols name as he ran up the stairs with panic controlling him only to come face to face with all of Carols belongings gone with the room in a state.

Carl was still locked in his room grieving over the loss of one of his bestfriends Sophia, he was seven and this was his first loss. School was different without her, scratch that life was hard without her the suffering never stopped and no one understood him or how he felt neither did he but he knew he hurt.

Standing the trio heard the commotion and run out to see a frantic Ed holding an officer by the collar  against the wall screaming about his missing wife. Walking over there Rick put a calming hand on his shoulder pulling him back explaining that she had to have been missing for 24 hours before they can do anything. Shane and Daryl smirked whilst watching the angry man storm off after he was "assissted" by to officers. Shane entered back into the office whilst Daryl was being awkwardly hugged by Rick "don't deny it cuz i know it was you that got her out so thanks" he thanked with joy obvious in his eyes  looking to see questioning on his face "i do remember you, high school. Carols stalker" Rick joked as he patted the man on his shoulder.

As Daryl opened his locker shock exploded inside of him as a single rose fell onto the floor infront of him, bending down and picking it up he saw his name written on a note attached to the flower. Quickly stuffing it into his bag with a wide smile knowing that Carol was being a copycat to what he had done earlier.

Returning home the smell coming out of his apartment was heavenly and opened the door still inhaling deeply through his nose as his sights were consumed by Carol and Lizzie laughing at the table eating a home cooked meal making a smile reach Daryls face. Seeing the spare plate filled with food he joined the table and digged in with hunger consuming him only stopping to mutter a thanks with his mouth full of food.

Closing the curtains Carol got into bed which she was sharing with the blonde girl who was so beautiful inside out making Carol happy.

That bitch of corse she was here and he had found her, he was going to kill Daryl Dixon. He was going to regret his decision.
