TWD One Shot: Daryl x Reader "I'm sorry"

Setting: The Camp and Atlanta

Plot: The group handcuffs Merle Dixon to the roof and he calls out to you, but you don't help. Instead you give him a knife and lock the door with a chain. Daryl (your husband) comes back from a hunting trip and not too thrilled to find out what happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You look back at Merle begging for you to help him. Merle calls out, "Daryl won't be too happy. Please (y/n) fucking help me!" You look over to T dog holding the door then back to Merle. You run over and pull your heavy duty buck knife out and hand it to him, "here. If you ever get out you have a weapon." You run back as T dog calls you again. Before you go out the door you mouth a 'I'm sorry' then leave out after chain locking the door. You follow T dog down to the truck and hop in with the new guy to return to camp. On the way not much was said and Glenn went down the road blaring and having the time of his life with his newly found car. You can't help but have a little laugh, "y'know before the world went to complete, utterly shit. I always wanted a white Dodge Challenger with black rims." Andrea gave a little giggle, "I guess now you can steal one." You nod with a smile, "yeah. I guess so." Y'all arrive back to camp and get out. You were relieved to see everyone again. The new guy climbed out the truck and seen Lori and Carl. You almost teared up at the reunion. The day went on and that night was just as usual. A camp fire with the gang and happy that everyone lived and the families reunited. Ed threw more stuff onto the fire making the flames rise. Everyone looks at him, especially Shane. Ed chuckles a complaint, "what it's cold as hell out here." You mumble under your breath, "we'll then man the fuck up." Ed over heard and immediately looked at you, "what did you say to me little missy?" You raise your voice with a little sass, "I said man the fuck up! Stop being a big pussy." Ed gives you an evil glare, "I don't care if Daryl finds out, but I'm not afraid to slap the shit out of you." You smirk, "is that a threat. Try me. I have a knife ready to go on every end of my body." Shane immediately stops it before it escalates, "woah. Ed you know we have to keep the embers down or else the embers will attract." Ed scowls at him, "I said it's as cold as hell." Ed and them fight, but Shane over powers Ed. You stand up after Rick, Lori, and Carl head to bed. You say good night and go to yours and Daryl's tent. Daryl was out on a hunting trip so you just slept with one of his shirts that has just been washed that day. The next day you wake up with everyone else and sit around the morning fire. Carl and Sophia were out playing and it left everyone else to talk. Screams were heard in the woods and all the adults ran to see what was the matter, especially after Carl called out for Lori. The other women stayed with the children and you quickly ran with the guys to see what happened. A deer with three arrows in it's stomach was being eaten by a walker and everyone was trying to kill it and taking so long so you just stabbed it in the head. They all looked at you. You smirked, "what? Someone has to have balls around here." All of y'all heard a noise come from the bushes and you were quick to pull out your knife. Daryl emerged from the bushes and started after the walker for eating his deer. Dale was the first to say something and Daryl quickly commented back. After that everyone made there way to camp and Daryl had his arm around your shoulders with the squirrels hanging on the other side. When y'all came up on camp Daryl called out for Merle as he took his arm from around you. You didn't have the heart to tell him and kind of felt like it was partially your fault as well because Merle called out to you. Shane broke it to him, "Merle isn't here. Things didn't go so well in Atlanta." Daryl confuses, "he dead?" Rick starts from behind him, "no. I have something to tell you." Daryl gets more angry, "who the hell are you?" Rick clears his throat, "I'm Rick Grimes." Daryl huffs, "Rick Grimes, you got something you wanna tell me?" Rick looks to the ground then back up to him, "your brother was a threat to us all. He's handcuffed on a roof." Daryl steps back with his eyes starting to form tears, "let me process this. You mean to tell me, you handcuffed my brother to a roof! And you left him there!" Rick restates his reason, "your brother was a threat to us all." Daryl pulls his knife and swings at Rick. Shane helps and puts Daryl in a choke hold. You watched, shocked by what was happening, but couldn't do anything because you did just the same part as anyone. Rick shoves Daryl's knife into his back pocket and kneels down in front of him, "all I want is to have a calm conversation. Are you going to cooperate with me?" Daryl agrees and Shane let's him go. T dog starts, "it was my fault. I dropped the key." Daryl gets up, "is that supposed to make me feel any better." T dog shrugs and Daryl looks over to you, "did you do anything about it?" You look to the ground and confess, "he called for me, but I couldn't." Daryl snatches his knife from Rick and puts it back in its holster. He looks back to you with hurt, "why?" You sigh, "I did lock the door with a chain and I gave him a knife to use if he needed it." Daryl raises his voice, "you didn't save my damn brother! What kind of wife are you!?" You stand up and try to reach for him, but he pulls away and sits on a rock, cleaning his arrows. Lori appears in the RV door way, "he'll go back and get him. Right?" Rick sighs, "I am. I'll go get him." Lori goes to sit down by you. Shane comes up and tries to talk Rick out of it, "you want to risk your life for a douche bag like Merle Dixon." Daryl scolds him, "hey. Choose your words more carefully next time." Shane looks at him, "I did. Douche bag is what I meant." You move over to him and try to talk to him, but he ignores you. Lori looks up at Rick, "you're not going alone are you?" Rick sighs and turns to Glenn, "you can come with me." Glenn shakes his head. Rick convinces him and T dog volunteers to go. When they're loading the truck you jump in the back and Daryl gives you a weird look, "you're not going." You look him in the eye, "yes I am. I feel bad." Daryl looks away, "you should." You look to the floor not wanting to face him, "I do." Daryl turns to you with anger, "you know I don't even want to look at your ass right now!" You look back up and see him with his back turned, pacing around, "you want to know something? I would've saved him, but let's be honest Rick and this group has always treated me better. I've kept things that Merle has done to me away from you because I didn't want to split you two up. I never told you about that time I came over to see you and you were out so Merle tried to hit on me and was saying how I deserved someone better. Like him. He actually did hit on me one time and I guess you didn't know about that either so I don't want to look at you either." He quickly stops pacing and walks over to you, "it doesn't make me not mad at you, but it does mean that I'm sorry I didn't know. I'm still mad at you. It gave you no reason to leave him handcuffed to a fucking roof." You roll your eyes and he honks the horn and yells to them, "come on let's go!" The ride to Atlanta goes by, quietly and when they got to Atlanta they went up to the roof to get Merle but to there surprise he was gone and a rotting hand was laid on the ground. Daryl immediately starts crying and screaming. He hugs you and muffles his yells. You wrap your arms around his neck and rub his back. You whisper in his ear, "I'm so sorry."

Note: well Merle's gone and let me know if you want another part.
