Life hurts. Love hurts just as much. You try loving someone, but it just ends with hurt. Why can't there be one happy moment in your life? A moment where you aren't fighting for your life.
When you got to the CDC, you thought of this being the moment. You tried being happy to be alive, but it was hard. It was hard being right next to one of your closest friends, and having to keep your mouth shut, otherwise, he might just snap at you.
That's what happened the day Daryl found out his brother was left behind. You tried comforting him before he left to get Merle, but he just yelled and pushed you away, like you were just a stranger to him.
You thought of it as nothing, considering he does that to almost everyone, but when you begun to realized he just shut you out of his life completely, of course you were upset.
You didn't want to be alone that night, so instead of going to Daryl's room, you went to Glenn's. The two of you good friends. You'd even go far enough to say you were closer to him, than to Daryl.
You and Glenn worked together, delivering pizza, before the world went to complete shit. You were just about to go on break, when Glenn grabbed your arm and pulled you into his car. When you tried questioning him, he just interrupted you and said that people were eating other people, and he was just as confused as you were. You headed to the city, expecting protection, and that's where you met Daryl.
You tried falling asleep, but it was no use, your mind kept wandering, keeping you awake. You slept on the couch that was in Glenn's room. It was uncomfortable, but you didn't want to take the bed from him.
You kept thinking of Daryl, and what to say to him in the morning. You didn't want him ignoring you anymore. It hurt because you were friends, but it hurt even more when you realized you loved him.
When you finally fell asleep, you woke right up, a few minutes later. You couldn't remember your dream but it had you crying quietly into your pillow.
Whenever you fell asleep you would keep waking up, so you got up and walked over to the bed Glenn was sleeping on. You tried tapping him awake, but he didn't budge. You decided to try and see if Daryl was awake not caring about whatever mood he was in right now.
When you got to the room Daryl called as his, the door was already unlocked.
He was fast asleep on the bed. You shut the door and walked over to him. You poked his shoulder trying to wake him. When he didn't wake up, you decided to just crawl into the bed with him. He would probably yell at you when he woke up, but he wouldn't actually do anything to hurt you, so you slowly shuffled over to him and snuggled your face into his arm.
You felt him tense up, and that's when you knew he was awake. You looked up and saw him with his eyes wide, staring at you in confusion.
"Don't be mad at me." You mumbled putting your head back down on his arm.
"I ain't mad." You heard him say. He moved so he was facing you.
You were about to speak but he quickly interrupted,"Sorry." That was all he said, but you understood. You felt like you forgave him way to easily, but you didn't want argue, so you kept your mouth shut.
"I love you.." You were in a moment of bliss, so you didn't realize what you said until you heard him reply, "Love ya too."
You smiled to yourself, finally forgetting about how fucking messed up the world was, and just fell asleep - this time, not waking up until morning.
