Reasons

Change

His chapped lips moved roughly against hers as her ran his hands up her sides underneath Carols loose fitting top as he massaged her ribs gently with his palm. Carol clumsily moved backwords against the wall with a stumbling Dayl following with their lips still attached. Daryls calloused hand ran up over her chest as he removed her top and stroked her shoulders, it felt like his hands were searching for something and when he didn't find it his body seemed to tense. His hands roamed upwards to her head as he ran his fingers through her short grey hair as he tugged on it lightly, his body had visibly relaxed once he had found her hair. Realization froze Carols body as she realised that he was searching for long hair, stepping away from the kiss images of Brooke flashed through her mind as she recalled that Brooke had long brown hair that reached the top of her chest.

Daryl must have a type. A type that Carol, didn't fit into anymore.

She may have fit into it when she was younger with her long brown hair and curves even to the healthy glow of her skin but that had all gone now. Carol had been made to cut her hair short and had turned grey due to the stress and pressure of Ed, she no longer owned curves as she had lost a lot of weighit and her skin now showed an unhealthy paleness.

Slowly she raised her eyes from the floor and stared into Daryls confused gaze, tears welled up in her eyes as sadness consumed her. Walking towards the rugged man she raised her soft to his stubbled face as she stroked it softly. sighing in contemptment Daryl rolled his head back as he covered her small hand with his large one opening his eyes wide in sadness when Carol pulled her hand away. Stepping away from Daryl and towards the door carol murmered a single word "Brooke".

Lizzie trotted downstairs with sleep still in control of her body, walking past the couch she did a double take when she saw the sleeping body. Carol was still asleep, releasing small soft snores. Lizzie gently began to nudge Carol awake, as carol began to slowly awaken Lizzie used her left hand to move her long blonde hair so that Carol would see her smile. Smiling back Carol sat up streching ready to prepare the young child for school.

Daryl had still not come downstairs by the time they had finished eating yet they knew he was awake as they heard him move around, heavy on his feet. Lizzie skipped upstairs to finish getting ready for school and passed a grumpy looking Daryl on the landing not acknowlendging her presence only mumbling incoherent words to himself. Mentally debating with herself Lizzie decided to ignore the mumbling man and go to get dressed. Opening her small bag she wore the last peices of clothing left, a simple stripped top and khakis. Tying her hair into a loose side braid Lizzie continued down the stairs excited to see her new friend Carl.

Running to the car the young blonde tried hard to keep up with Daryl who was grumpily stomping to the car, he had come downstairs blanking Carol and Lizzie heading directly to the car. The car ride was silent with only the slight humming from Lizzie as she tried to keep with the rock song playing. When the car stopped Lizzie bound out of it and ran into school causing Daryl to release a small laugh whilst driving to the station, he had never liked kids but Lizzie made him smile due to her upbeat attitude and humourus personality. Pulling into the car park Daryl slowly waled in watching as Shane was opening the cell door to release Ed, with anger bubbling over inside of him Daryl ran up and started punching Ed.

He couldn't remember much due to his anger but he knew that he had beat Ed into unconsiousness but he kept punching only stopping when Rick pulled him into his office. Rickfuriously pushed Daryl into the chair as he walked to the door "You didn't see anything. Got it?" he demanded as he shut the door and sat in the chair opposite him. Rick began shouting at Daryl questioning him angrily teling him about how much trouble he would be in if Rick wasn't at work.

Rolling his eyes Daryl stood and left dropping his badge on the desk as he stormed out making everyone in the station stare at him whilst he left. By the looks of things Ed was long gone but Daryl didn't care he wanted, no NEEEDED to see Brooke.

The door fell helplessly to the ground crumbling under Ed giant boot, he walked over the door and shouted into the rusty apartment "Honey i'm home..."

Shaking Carol clutched her knees tightly sobbing.
