Dale pulled me aside. " We sent T-dog, Andrea, Merle , Glenn, Jacqui and Morales."
I didn't say anything. Dale looked at me with worried eyes.
"They always return within a few hours." Dale whispered.
"They'll be back." I reassured him.
"Is Merle safe? Would he hurt them?"
I wanted to say no. But I knew Merle. He can get out of hand.
"He's... he wouldn't kill them." I didn't want to answer the safe part.
I knew Merle. I hung out with him since 9th grade, when I met Daryl.
I turned around to leave the pressure of Dales questions when I saw Daryl leaning against a tree smoking a cigarette. I admired how gorgeous he was from a distance.
" Stop drooling." Lori joked as she came up from behind me.
"Sorry." I laughed. "I hope they come back soon." I could see Lori was also worried. "I-I can't loose anyone else." She seemed like she was on the verge of tears.
"Who..?" I asked.
"My husband. Rick Grimes. He was in the hospital when it got bad. He's gone." I didn't look at her, but I could feel the tears rolling down her cheeks.
"That hardest part was telling Carl. My son."
I didn't say anything but I had always thought her and Shane were together. Maybe they hooked up after this all went down.
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize it has been that long." I said. I thought the apocalypse had been a few weeks.
"He was in a coma for just over a month. He got shot before this all happened."
"Shane went over to try to get him out of bed when it started. He couldn't get him out of the hospital, and the military were in there shooting live people in the head. Shane left before they found him but had to leave Rick there."
I wasn't sure why Lori was telling me this, although I didn't mind listening.
"Shane knew him?" I asked.
"They worked together. We're bestfriends."
"I better get to Carl. Sorry." Lori said as she wipes her cheek and walked towards Carl who was playing with Carols kid, Sophia.
"Hey Daryl." I called as I leaned against the tree he was also leaning against.
"Lori and Shane are using eachother as grief to get over Loris husband." I loved gossiping to Daryl.
"Oh shit. Really?" Daryl chuckled.
"Yeah. He was in the hospital when this started, in a coma. He was Loris husband and Shane's bestfriend."
"I always thought Shane was the husband and dad." Daryl chuckled again. He handed me a cigarette and I lit it.
"You think... you think Merle had one of his freak outs? And that's why they're not back?" Daryl glanced over at me to see my reaction to his question.
"I.... I don't know." I couldn't lie to Daryl. 
Daryl reached his hand over to the side of the tree I was leaning against. I held it. I knew he was worried about Merle. Mostly about Merle freaking out.

As the sun set people started falling asleep and going into their tents. Daryl kept looking at me as we sat by the fire. I knew he was anticipating tonight.
"Come on." I finally said with a huge smile as I put out the fire.
Daryl smiled and got up behind me and followed me into the tent.
I've had sex before, but never with anyone I loved. It was usually just one night stands or with a boyfriend I kept for a few weeks to a few months.
I layed on my back as Daryl zipped up the tent.
He looked at me and I could tell he was nervous too.
He leaned into me and kissed me , his hands rubbed against my face as he pulled himself on top of me.
He started taking his pants off while still kissing me.
I pulled mine off and pulled my underwear off too.
"Ready?" He whispered in between us kissing.
"Mhm."
Daryl went inside of me and I tried to stay quiet. It felt so good. "Mmmmm." I quietly moaned and covered my mouth with my hand. With my other hand I grabbed onto Daryls arm and he went in and out. "Fuck." He whispered under his breathe.
He started going faster and buried his head into my neck. I could hear his heavy breathing in my ear.
"Keep going." I whispered into his ear.
This time, sex felt different. Before it just felt good, but now it wasn't just sex. Daryl let out a loud moan as he finished, and I let out a tiny moan too as I finished. Daryl kissed my forehead and rolled over beside me.
We both layed there , staring at the tents ceiling and panting.
"That was... really good." I said out of breathe.
"Yeah.. it was." Daryl panted.
We didn't speak for the next few minutes. I rolled over and looked at Daryl. His eyes were closed. I snuggled up into his chest and he put his arm around me. "Goodnight. I love you." I said as I closed my eyes.
"Night y/n. I love you too." Daryl said , half asleep.
