WHAT?? AN EARLY UPDATE? HOPE YOU ENJOY! MY APOLOGIES FOR THE CORRECTIONS.

Rhett nods timidly at them. They introduced themselves one by one to him, “Woah, dude you’re so tall.” A red headed burly man said to him. Rhett laughs sheepishly,” 'm name’s Abraham, This is Eugene and Rosita.” Abraham says, gesturing to Eugene and Rosita. They kept a friendly exterior but they still kept a wary eye on their new member. “Rhett.” Rick trailed off silently, Rhett turns toward the speaker with a questioning look. Rick gestures with his head towards the kitchen, they both walked towards the counters where Rick took a deep breath, “Look, I’m sorry for what happened earlier with Daryl pointing a crossbow at you. He was just protecting the group.” Rhett chuckles, “its cool, man… No worries” Rhett squeezes Rick’s shoulder as a sign of reassurance. Rick nods softly, Daryl gruffly walked towards them, “Rick... 'm gonna hunt for a bit.” Daryl suggested, jaws clenched as his eyes followed Rhett’s hand as Rhett releases his light grip on Rick’s shoulder. “You sure you don’t want some company? I mean, I’m not tired I could come with you.” Rick suggests. “Nah, you better take a rest... you prolly had an exhausting day.” Daryl eyes shift to Rhett and left the room abruptly.

“What was that 'bout? Is he always like this?” Rhett asks Rick with a questioning stare. “Yeah, don’t worry too much about it.” Rick said, still glued to the living room door where Daryl exited.

DARYL’S P.O.V.

He looks through the window; a man with blonde hair was heading towards the front door. Daryl and the others heard a soft knock on the door. Everyone panicked loudly, Daryl shut them up with a sharp “Shhh” Daryl opened the door hastily, he pointed his crossbow at the man’s head, “Who are you?” he threatens. Daryl focused on the man in front of him, he watched as his mouth open but before he could answer another man pulled him away from the door. Daryl’s eyes went wide, “Rick?” before Daryl could process what was going on, Rick went in for a hug, “I found you, all of you.” He whispers softly. Rick let go off him, turned to the unknown man, and said, “Rhett, this is Daryl”. Rhett held out his hand and muttered, “Hi.” Daryl turned towards Rick, thousands of questions running through his head. as if Rick read Daryl’s thoughts,he said, “He saved my life.” Daryl cautiously grabbed his hand and said, “Thanks for uh, saving him. “ He did not want to look at Rhett.

Rick went inside and hugged all of them. He hugged Carl tightly, Daryl was deep in his thoughts about Rick when Rick spoke up and said, “Everyone, this is Rhett, he helped me.” Rhett waved awkwardly, Maggie decided to be the one who'll clear out the air, “Well, if you trust him, we trust him too. Welcome to the group, Rhett.” Daryl rolls his eyes at the amount of fakeness he feels radiating from his group. Everyone except Daryl went toward him and introduced themselves one at a time. Daryl wanted to leave and hunt because everyone trusted this person too early it is repulsive to him. “Great, now that douche Abraham is now headed towards this other douche.” Daryl thought, Abraham introduced himself and his “Crew” to the new member. Daryl wanted to talk to Rick so bad..He wanted to figure out what happened. He busies himself with his crossbow, trying to get his mind off Rick and hm.

Daryl turned toward them again, they were not in the living room anymore, he peeked through the kitchen. “Fuck this,” he thought as he stomped inside the kitchen where he saw Rhett’s hand on Rick’s shoulders, “Rick... 'm gonna hunt for a bit.” He said, his eyes still glued to the offending hand that is now letting go of Rick, “You sure you don’t want some company? I mean, I’m not tired I could come with you.” Rick suggests. Daryl wanted to smirk at Rick’s stupidity but instead he replied with,” Nah, you better take a rest... you prolly had an exhausting day.” His eyes coldly shifts to Rhett. However, before Rick could reply anything, he was already out the door. He stomps angrily towards the forest, anger seeping through his body. “Who the fuck does he think he is?” Daryl’s teeth was gritting with anger, Daryl wanted to stab something…or someone. He needs to find a squirrel or a rabbit fast. Hunting keeps him relax when he is pissed off but what he is feeling right now is far from being pissed off. He is for certain that what he is feeling now is jealousy.

                         I think that we should've seen what Daryl felt when he saw Rhett. I'm sorry for Daryl's looooong P.O.V.
