Daryl POV

I woke u cuddled up next to Beth with my arm around her. I smiled then realized what I was smiling for. I was smiling because I was cuddled up with her and barley any space between us, scratch that no space between us, and i loved it. I knew it was wrong for me to feel this for her but I couldn't help it plus its not like i would act on it she probably didn't even feel the same way. so I then slowly moved my arm off of her trying not to wake her and I didn't she was still sound asleep. so I got up and started exiting the room to  go sit on the couch but a small voice called to me it sounded shattered and upset "Daryl." she said with tears staining her face " can you stay with me for awhile" I hesitated but agreed after a moment and came back and put my arm around her waist pulling her close to me. we sat there for a few minutes before i spoke.

"Beth?" I asked " what's wrong?"

"I-I just. I M-miss my dad a-and Maggie and everyone f-from the prison" she answered bawling trying to catch her breath. I felt horrible she hadn't had the time to mourn between all this running and actually losing the prison not to mention her father. I couldn't believe I didn't let her have a minute to cry i felt like a  monster.

"I'm sorry Beth " I said holding back tears. I wanted to cry not because we had lost the prison and so many people I was used to all that. the reason I wanted to cry so bad was because Beth was in pain and I couldn't handle her feeling hurt physically or emotionally. But I sucked it up.

"why are you sorry its not your fault Daryl its that asshole the governors fault" she hopped out of bed and started pacing and yelling . "I hate him that two faced cock sucking ,bitch"  i winced when she swore. she never swore like that there might have been a crap here or there but that's barley even a cuss word. 

        "I'm sorry Daryl I shouldn't of" I stopped her with my arms hugging her tightly .she calmed right down as soon as I touched her. her body made me warm as I tightened my grip around her, never wanting to let go. She was so perfect and fit right against my body. her eyes always seemed to find their way to mine, and the way they looked at me made me warm an happy on the inside. I had never felt this way with a girl, she just made me happy being in her presence and when she was hurt it felt like I was dying. dear god I was falling in love with her. I was falling in love with Beth Greene and I was scared to find out what this meant because if I lost her I would have nothing. absolutely nothing.

" Beth don't ever be sorry for feeling something" I said in a calming voice "even if feeling it makes you swear like a truck driver in a traffic jam" she giggled an wiped away all her tears. she was beautiful even with a tear stained face. I pulled her into the hug once more then let her go. "now would you like to go learn how to shout a cross bow " I said in an encouraging voice. "YES" she squeaked with excitement then kissed me on the cheek and ran to put on her shoes.

Beth POV

I can't believe that I was gonna learn to shoot a cross bow this is going to be amazing." Beth lets go, your so slow " Daryl yelled down the hall to me as I grabbed my knife I ran to the front door where he was waiting. " took you long enough" he said with a smirk. I stuck my tongue out at him as we started walking. after he showed me how to hold the cross bow i got to try. so I grabbed it from him an put my hands on it holding it for the first time.

" you almost got it but you have to put yer hand here not there" he said as he went behind me and put his hands on mine showing me how to hold the bow. i felt my cheeks getting red.

"what's up Greene gettin' a little nervous" he said flashing that cute smirk again, my cheeks just got warmer.

 "yes Daryl I am nervous because its almost nightfall and I haven't got to shoot anything yet" I said as a cover up. it may not have been  a very good one but it still worked. he laughed in reply.

"alright Bethy what cha' want to do is aim right at the eye of that squirrel" he said well pointing to a squirrel that had been climbing a tree near by. "okay" I whispered back

I took a deep breath in then blew out when pressing the trigger just like Daryl told me to. I looked up to see if I hit the squirrel and I did right in the eye.

"nice job Greene maybe you should be the hunter around here" he said with a huge grin on his face that I haven't seen since the prison when he would play with Judy.
