The Grimes Daughter (Daryl Dixon)

Chapter 33

———— Alex's POV————
I sit down in the porch chair and Daniel sits in the other. We sit in silence for a while, till he speaks up. "I was really worried about you. But then again everyone was," he states with a nervous laugh. "I didn't mean to worry everyone," I say, I also laugh nervously.

Silence again, till he asks me a question I would have never expected. "Do you like Glenn?" He asks me suddenly. My eyes go wide with shock, "No! Glenn is like my best friend, maybe even like a brother. No I dont like him. And he doesn't like me," I state.

I turn so I'm looking at Daniel, our eyes meet. "Good," he says. I give him a confused look. He takes a deep breath. "Alex i like you. I know we haven't known each other long but I would love to take this time and get to know each other more. You seem like a really nice and funny person, not to mention your beautiful," he say.

I start to blush a little but keep Eye contact. "Alex, will you be my girlfriend?" He ask me. I'm shocked. This came out of no where. What do I say? I don't know if I like him, but Dad would like me being with him....

"Yes." I say with a smile. He lets out his breath he was holding and I laugh at him. He laughs too. I hear laughing and we turn to see Glenn and Maggie talking. I smile, then they both go separate ways. "I'll be back, I need to talk to Glenn," I tell Daniel as I walk of the porch.

He nods and starts talking to Maggie. I make my way to Glenn. "We need to talk," I tell him as I grab his hang and drag in to the outskirts of the farm where we won't be heard. "What's up?" He asks.

I take a deep breath. "Daniel asks me out and I said yes." I say quickly, but Glenn heard it all. He eyes go wide. "I thought you didn't like him," he questions. I sigh, "I don't know. I don't think I do, but who knows I might. It just happened." I look down embarrassed.

"What about Daryl?" He asks. "Forget him! He can be with Carol, that's obviously what he wants." I say, anger clear in my voice. "Carol May like him, but Im not sure he likes her. He was so worried when you were missing last night." Glenn explains.

"Everyone was worried, it's nothing special that he was." I state. Glenn shrugs. "I guess. But I don't think you and Daniel will work. I sigh, knowing he is probably right, but I won't say it. I have to work through this.

We head back and everyone gathers for lunch. Beth and Patricia made everyone sandwiches. We all sat around in a circle. "I have an announcement to make," Daniel says.

Everyone looks at him as he stands in the middle, wondering what he has to say. Even I wonder what he has to say. "Guys, me and Alex are dating," he blurts our. Everyone is shocked, then looks happy. Everyone is happy, even Carol. Everyone but Daryl.....

He looks my way and I avoid eye contact. After a minute Daryl gets up and leaves. Carol tried calling him back, but he keeps walking. She soon gets up and follows him. A few people clap, and my dad smiles at me.

I smile back. I say thank you when everyone say congratulations. I show them how happy I am. Well, how happy I should be. Its not right. I should be happier, i shouldn't feel like this is wrong.

We continue eating, then Maggie announced that everyone will eat dinner in the house tonight. We all cheer. Conversation starts back up, but I block it out. Why does this feel so wrong? I sigh, already knowing my answer.

————Daryl's POV————
"I have an announcement to make," Fuck boy, sorry Daniel says. Everyone gives him his attention as he stands in the middle. Better be good for wasting my damn time. I thought. "Me and Alex are dating," he says suddenly. I freeze.

What? No way. I look towards her but she avoids eye contact. Anger boils in me for an unknown reason. I get up and walk towards my tent to get my cross bow. I have to get out of here.

I heard Carol call me but Ignore her. I can't help but feel she is the reason for this. I suddenly stop. I might be the reason for this. I shake my head and continue walking as Carol catches up.

"Daryl what's wrong?" She asks me. "Nothing leave me alone. I'm goin' to hunt," I says harshly. She stops. "Daryl, when you cool off, just know you can talk to me," she says. I nod.

I grab my bow and head into the woods. After going some what deep I set down my cross bow and start pacing in a circle. It's my fault I know it is. Now she is with that bustard and there is nothing I can do. I turn and punch a tree. My knuckles start bleeding. I lead against the tree and slide down till I'm sitting.

Why the fuck do I even Care.  Carol said it's because she is ricks Daughter. But Carol is wrong. So what really is it? It can't be. No, i cant. How can someone like me..... possibly like someone like her? I'm a trashy fucked up red neck. She looks like she is a damn model compared to me. There is no way. But what else?

I sigh as my thoughts fly back and forth. Shit, I rather her be with Chinaman.
