Fearless: Daryl Dixon Love Story

Chapter Forty Eight: What Happened And What's Going On

┏━━━━━━ Kayla's pov ━━━━━━┓

Beth's dead...

No matter how much I tried to get it out of my head or tried to come to terms with it, I still would think about her crimson hair shot by Dawn. I stared at the landscape outside with one hand on my stomach. There was without any definition that I was pregnant, but I knew my little baby was inside. My hair loose down my back in waves of sweat. My mind was on the events taking place three days ago. Beth was gone, and I still didn't know how to deal with it. Maggie cried non-stop and fell in depression.

She would cry on hours on end and talk to no one. Not even Glenn that she always had much to say to. Daryl was the same cause. He wouldn't cry, but he also wouldn't talk to me about anything. Hell, he won't even look at me.

" How far out ?" Dad asked, turning to Noah, who sat in the front with Tyreese.

I was in the back of the blue suburban heading with Tyreese, Noah, Mom, Dad, and Glenn to Noah's community. We figured his place could hold some shelter, and the rest was much needed.

The small boy turned to Tyreese, seeing the mileage count we went so far." Five miles." Noah said, and Dad nodded, going to radio we found on the road.

" Hey, Carol."

" I'm here." She reported.

" We're halfway there. Just wanted to check the range."

" Everybody's holding tight. We've made it 500 miles. Maybe this can be the easy part." Carol said, but I could tell by her voice the others weren't doing do good.

I relied on Michonne and Carol to watch Daryl while I was gone. Carol just told me with her tone how Daryl was doing even if she knew I was here or not.

Dad nodded his head," Got to think we're due. Give us twenty miles to check-in."

" We don't hear from you. We'll come looking."

" Copy that."

" I've wanted to tell you something," Noah said, hearing Dad was off coms.

" What's that ?" Tyreese asked, looking to Noah next to him.

" The trade. It was the right play." Noah said, and I knew he was talking about Grady Memorial hospital." It worked. It did work. Just...something else happened after."

" It went the way it had to. The way it was always going to." Mom said, looking over to the boy sitting and thinking of the loss of Beth Greene.

" I never wanted to kill anybody before."

" I've wanted that," Tyreese answered, and inside my mind, I was nodding. Governor, Gareth, Dawn, I wanted to kill them all." But it just made it, so I didn't see anything except what I wanted. I wasn't facing it."

" Facing what ?" I asked from the backseat watching Tyreese stare at the road.

" What happened and what's going on. My Dad always told Sasha and me that it was our duty as citizens of the world to keep up with the news. When I was little, and I was in his car, there were always those stories on the radio. Something happens 1,000 miles away or down the block. Some kind of horror I couldn't even wrap my head around, but he didn't change the channel. He didn't turn it off; he just kept listening. To face it. Keeping your eyes open. My Dad always called paying the high cost of living."

" I lost my dad in Atlanta." Noah spoke." I think he would have liked yours. Still got a Mom and a couple of twin brothers. I hope."

" I hope so too," Tyreese said with a smile while Noah turned to Dad.
