Beth's POV

        i woke up and Daryl wasn't in bed. he must have been out hunting so i went into the kitchen and sure enough there was a note on the counter that read

I went on a hunt i don't think ill be gone too long so I should be back by noon i left some cereal in a bowl for you on the table

                      -Daryl 

it made my heart melt to think that Daryl thought about me while he was getting his breakfast and decided to get me some cereal. something I'm completely capable of doing on my own it was just such a sweet small gesture. this is what made me like Daryl so much it was the little things he'd do to show me that he still cares about me, even if its not more than a friend and even if its just getting me a bowl of cereal in the morning i still appreciated it.

-a couple hours later still Beth's pov-

all i could think about while Daryl was gone was Daryl and how i felt about him. I didn't know how much longer I could deny myself of liking him, maybe even loving him. I mean I would tell him if I wasn't afraid it was going to ruin our friendship. i cant loose him completely.hes the only thing i have left in this world , hell he is my world and if i lost him i don't know what id do.

a creek on the floor from behind me interrupted my thoughts i turned around to see who it was and what i saw was a tall bear like man with scares all over his body and jet black hair that was greasy and pulled back into a slick pony tail

" lookie what i found a nice, sweet, innocent girl that wont be alive much longer  " his voice made my heart stop

" what do you want from me " i said in a stern voice

" oh nothing just all of your weapons, food ,ammo, oh and i want that boy you've been runnin around with what's his name again oh yeah right Daryl isn't it" he paused for a moment looking me up and down " wow he really got himself a nice catch didn't he a nice sweet young thing like you. you know i would keep you alive but i don't want his sloppy seconds.hell you probably aren't that innocent anymore if your hanging out with Daryl, i mean really the things he does to you are probably anything but innocent. tell me what shit did he pull on you to get you to fall in love with an asshole redneck like him"

i stayed silent i would be getting ready to fight with my weapon but i left it upstairs in the bedroom. i was praying for his life that Daryl wouldn't come back because this man would surely kill him but i knew that Daryl would be walking threw that door any minute so i tried lieing to get the man to go away.

" Daryl left me this morning he didn't want to put up with my shit any more so he left " i said in a voice that i thought was pretty convincing but apparently the big scary man did not and in one motion he was quickly holding me but my chin violently and putting his face right next to mine " I'm sick of your shit too now girly, ill give you one last chance where the fuck is Daryl Dixon" and with that Daryl walked into the living room yelling " Beth I'm Back i actually got a pretty good haul we will be  eating like......" when he walked into the kitchen and saw this man holding me he stopped talking and pointed his crossbow at the man holding me.

Daryl POV

" let her go Nathan she did nothing its me you want " i said as i looked at Beth then back to him

" put the crossbow down Daryl " Nathan demanded

" okay okay just let her go first" i pleaded. he dropped her and i dropped my cross bow but what this fucker didn't know was that i had my gun hidden on my belt  under my shirt

"now Nathan what do you want " i asked calmly

" I wanted revenge Daryl for your brother abandoning me in that field with the fleh eaters, but now I'm thinking i want this pretty little girl of yours. i think that would be good enough revenge. you living without your little fuck buddy here. i think ill kill her right in front of you. maybe tie you up and make you watch " he said looking at Beth and sliding his thumb across her face i could see the tears welling up in Beth's eyes

" DON'T TOUCH HER " i snapped and ran over pulling Beth behind me and pulling my gun out and pointing it right in Nathans face

" whoa there Dixon if i didn't know any better id say that this little bitch got you falling in love with her she got you a little messed up. the sad part is she's weak and you wont be able to protect her from things like me " and as soon as he said that he pushed me out of the way grabbin the gun and then hitting Beth in the head with the butt of it causing her to fall to ground blacking out.

" YOU SON OF A BITCH " i said fighting to get the gun back from him and when i did i shot him straight in the head

i ran over to Beth

" Beth, Beth can you hear Bethy. no please don't leave Beth i need you you don't know how much i need you i cant live without you Bethy please come back to me " i said well sobbing and rocking her back and forth with her laying limp in my lap. when i touched her head all i could see on my hands was blood. there was so much blood. that all there ever was in this world  blood blood and more blood .

 i picked Beth up and i carried her  to bed, laying her down under the sheets.I grabbed a cloth full of water and cleaned her head, then I grabbed some bandages and put them around her head wound all i could do now is wait till she woke up and i wasn't planning on leaving her side till she did.
