You had been angry for days, full of jealousy that had only worsened with each passing moment when you saw Carol and Daryl together. The way they laughed together, the way they hugged each other—every bit of it was like a stab to your already wounded pride.
But it had reached a boiling point tonight. You stormed into one of the houses in Alexandria and searched for Carol, wanting to confront her once and for all. When you finally found her, she was sitting on a bed, reading a book.
"Carol!" You yelled out harshly, full of anger and hurt.
She looked up from her book with a small smile on her lips, not even bothered by what was happening, nor was she interested. "What is it? Is something wrong? What happened?"
"You know exactly what the fuck it is," you snapped back at her, your frustration boiling over. "I know why you've been avoiding me for weeks! And every time I see you, you're all over Daryl, like he's the only fucking person in this world who even matters to you anymore!"
Carol's eyes narrowed, but she remained nonchalant and quiet. "What are you talking about? Sure, we are a family, but we have our own lives. Daryl has been busy with his own stuff and things, just like I've been with mine."
"Busy?" You scoffed. "Like spending time with you only while I'm suddenly a piece of shit in your eyes?! Oh, yeah, I wonder why!?"
Carol's smile didn't go away, but she looked down on the floor for a moment. "Is this really about me? Or, rather, about you and Daryl? Because if you have a problem with him and your relationship, you should talk to him directly, not me."
"Oh, I will," you answered. "But I need you to understand, okay?"
Carol looked up at you again, seemingly confused. "And I'm supposed to care because?"
"Because we're supposed to be a family!" you shouted angrily at her. "Or does that only apply when it's comfortable for you?"
Carol shrugged. "Life's hard, I guess. We all deal with it in our own ways."
"Dealing with it by throwing away your friends so that you could have Daryl by your side only?" You snapped back at her.
Carol stood up, her patience finally fading away slowly. "This isn't just about me and Daryl or you wanting to spend time with me like before when we were still out there. It's about you trying to make everything revolve around you and your relationship with him because you think you might lose him. And you know what? I'm done with this conversation."
