~Aaliyah's Pov~Small time lapse~

We rode out the snow storm at Alexandria, once it was over a group of us went to Oceanside. It's been a few months. "You hungry.?" I looked over to see Daryl coming over to me with a plate. "Uh, kinda. Not really." I said looking at it. "Too bad." He said sitting down in front of me, i was sitting at a table. I shook my head. "Why do you ask me if i don't have a choice.?" i asked reaching for the plate. "Mm." He said taking some food from the plate. I took some too, the plate was in the middle of the table. "Eat." he said. "What? You 'fraid imma pass out on the beach.?" I asked looking at the plate. We were gonna go 'train' some people, take out some walkers. "Shut the hell up. Where's your boyfriend." He said. I looked up at him and narrowed my eyes at him.

"Hmm." I said moving my head slightly, kind of shaking my head, giving him a small smile. He smirked and took some food from the plate. I swallowed the food. "He's helping get all the equipment ready for later." I said drinking from my cup. He looked at me and swallowed the food in his mouth. "Not my boyfriend." I said looking at the plate. I took the fork from his hand and took some more food. "Not yet." I mumbled and took the food in my mouth. He scoffed and i giggled covering my mouth. "You asked, i'm just giving you the answers big brother." I said swallowing the food and uncovering my mouth.

"Whatever.." he said taking his fork back. "Do you like him.?" i asked leaning forward a bit. He didn't look at me, but he poked the food around in the plate. "Because if you don't i need to know." I said, he still didn't look at him. "He knows i'll beat his ass if he hurts you right.?" He asked taking some food in his mouth. I smiled softly and looked down. "No, but.. I'm pretty sure it's logic." I said shrugging a bit. "Mm." he said. I got up and sat down next to him, "But yes?" I asked. "Maybe." He mumbled with food in his mouth. "Ohhh, that's not a no." I said. "It ain't a yes either." He said once he swallowed the food in his mouth. "But cmon, i'm serious. I need to know, because i like him.." I said looking at him.

He groaned. "Don't talk to me about this shit. Go to Connie or Magna." He said. I giggled a bit. "I need to talk to you too, you know that.." I said resting my arms on the table then my head on it, so i'd be able to look at his face. "Yes?" I whispered. He looked at me and shook his head a bit. "You're happy. All's i a care about." He said. "Yes Aaliyah, I do approve of your future boyfriend. I'm just to stubborn to say it." I said nodding He looked at me annoyed, I gasped. "Thank you Daryl!" i said smiling at him. He smirked a bit. "You're welcome little sister. I love you!" I said softly. I nodded scooting closer to him. "I love you too Daryl." I said. He nudged me a bit with his elbow. I laughed a bit and buried my face in my arm.

"I need to know, for real." I said, He heard it muffled but he heard it. He kissed my head. "Yeah." He said. I smiled and took my head out of my arm. I looked at him and smiled softly. "Good." I said. "Are you coming?" I looked over to see Judith. I nodded sitting up straight. "I am," I said. She smiled, "Can you do my braid? I can't find my mom." She said. I nodded, "Yeah," i said getting up. I hugged Daryl from behind, Wrapping my arms around his shoulder. "You wanna know a secret Judith?" I asked. She giggled. "Get off me." Daryl said moving. "Daryl, hates hugs." I said nodding. "I'm gonna-" He said moving some more. I let him go and laughed. "He secretly loves mine." I said nodding as i walked over to her.

"Hate 'em." He said eating. "He loves 'em, deep inside." i said nodding. He pushed me a bit. I nodded looking at Judith. She giggled at me, I looked at Daryl. "See you in a bit," I said. "Mhm." he said looking at me. I smiled at and looked at Judith. I took the hat and put it on my head. "I think Michonne's probably helping out with the rest." I said as we went to where she was staying at. "i need my brush," She said. "Go get it," I said. She nodded and left, I took Carl's hat off and looked at it. I smiled the softest bit, looking down at it. I licked my lips and sat down on the steps then slowly put it back on. After a minute she came back with her brush, "I wet my hair," She said. I nodded a bit. "Come here babe," I said patting at the step below me. She looked at my hand then i moved it, she sat down between my legs and i took a small portion of her hair and started braiding.

"You're not wearing the ring Carl gave you anymore.." She said. I slowed down a bit but kept working on it. I didn't speak because i didn't know what to say. She turned around and i let go of her hair. "Why..?" she asked. I shrugged a bit and licked my lips a bit. "Is it because of Jackson?" She asked. I nodded a bit. "Yeah," I said softly. She nodded, "I really like him, like- a lot." I said nodding slightly. She gave me the smallest smile, I didn't expect that reaction from her, but it was good. She wasn't mad, or upset.

"Really?" she asked. I nodded a bit, returning the small smile. "Yeah, and the reason i'm not wearing it is because i feel like-it's wrong. Wearing the ring that Carl gave me when i have feelings for someone else." I said. "Do you still love Carl.?" She asked. I nodded without hesitation. "i'll always love him. But- it's lonely without him." I said. "You laugh a lot when you're with him." She said giggling a bit. I nodded a bit. "He's- Funny." i said smiling at her. "I like him, he's nice." She said. I nodded. "I'm glad you like him." I said softly.

"Carl would want you to be happy." She said nodding. I smiled at her and looked down. "..Yeah.." I whispered. She hugged me and i hugged her back and rubbed her back a bit. "I love you," I said softly. "I love you too." She said. We pulled away and i smiled at her. "Okay, let's get your braid done," I said. She sat down and i started braiding her hair. "Where is your ring?" She asked. I held her hair with one hand and i reach in my pocket and pulled it out. I held it out in front of her, she took it and looked at it. I kept on braiding her hair then put a hair tie on it. "I just need to look for a necklace, just the chain to put the ring on it, you know?" i asked.

She nodded a bit as she got up and put her Katana strap on then i put that hat back on her head.
