She walked in before slamming the door behind her.

"Daryl!" She yelled, she hated arguing with him, but right now she was pissed.

"What?" He snapped

"What was that about?" She asked concernedly as she wandered up stairs to where he was yelling from.

"Nothin" He answered

"Oh really, didn't seem like nothing" She answered

"I don't like it here" He admitted "You knew I wasn't going to like it here!"

"Why?" She wasn't sure that he wouldn't like it but, because she knew he was going to find the change difficult, she sat down on the bed next to him.

"I don't like this, the house, the constant looks, having jobs like we don't live with walkers" He yelled, throwing his hands about like he does when he's mad.

"I know, but it's only been one day, you have to give it a chance right?" She asked, begging as she looked up at him.

"Nah, if nothing changes with the way i feel in a few days, i'm leaving" he sighed standing up to walk away.

"What if the rest of us stay? What if i stay?" She panicked

"I'll see you around" He walked out

"I'll see you around!?" She asked shocked but he continued to walk away

"Oh no, that's fine Daryl, being in a relationship for years means nothing to you, so sure see you the fuck around!?" She yelled as he slammed the door behind him.

The sound of the door slamming made her jump, she closed her eyes hurt. Was that it?

Daryl stood outside the door.

"What was the yelling about?" Rick asked hearing the commotion from outside.

"I don't... know '' Daryl asked himself confused at why he suddenly turned on Theo like that.

Rick looked at him confused

"Hang on," Daryl told Rick as he turned around and back into the house.

He went upstairs to see Theo sitting crying on the bed, playing with the ring on her finger. 

"What?" She asked, whipping her face quickly.

"I'm sorry" He answered walking towards her

"Yeah, alright" She said trying to walk away from him, but he stopped her

"Theo" He began, holding her gently.

"I get it Daryl, this isn't your thing, you aren't a people person, i get it, but i don't think you understand that i get you, more than you think i do, but i can't let you walk out, i can't leave you, you can't leave us" Theo cried, she wasn't angry, she knew Daryl said everything in the heat of the moment.

"I know," He sighed, pulling her over so she stood in front of him as he sat on the bed.

The sun was finally beginning to go down, the rest of the group where finally getting their own beds

"I won't leave ya, don't even know why i said it, cuz i wont, I already promised you that" Daryl looked at her.

"I know, you need to try to make this work, we will go out for a ride tomorrow, before the party and then we will both go" She smiled

"Maybe" Daryl smiled at her

"I love you Daryl" She smiled

"I love ya too, im sorry, don't know what came across me" He admitted
