2. Never Tear Us Apart

e i g h t y f i v e

Morning soon came around and Daryk was up early, waking up before Theo to make her breakfast and make sure he was okay before going with Aaron for a few days in search of new people.

He made her some toast and coffee and carried it up the stairs.

She was buried under the blankets, still in last night's outfit, her hair tangled and slight snoring coming from the bed, only every snoring after the intake of a lot of alcohol.

He placed the food and drink on the side before lightly shaking her.

"Ughh" She groaned under the weight of her head. The hangover being the first in a long time.

"Morning" He smiled, handing her some coffee.

She sat up, smiling and happily took it before she was handed some toast.

"Are you going to be okay?" Daryl asked

She nodded eating some toast.

Daryl watched her carefully making sure she was okay.

But before he knew it, tears brimmed her eyes as she ate her toast.

He reached out and held her leg. She sighed before he took away the toast, letting her lean on him as she cried.

It wasn't like any other time she cried, where she screamed at shouted, she was usually crying with anger, but this time, she was hurt, she felt broken.

"It's okay" Daryl tried to sooth her as she let out everything into him.

"Do you want me to stay?" He asked, looking at her worried.

"No, it's okay. I'll be fine" She tried to smile, quickly removing the tears that had fallen from her face.

"Theo..." He tried to start

"I'll be okay" She whipped her eyes, i'm going to go out with Glenn i think, they don't need 2 running teams, just a bigger one" She sniffed

"Okay, i'll be back in a few days, be careful, and if you can't sleep don't stay awake, go to your dad" Daryl begged.

He really didn't want to go, but he knew if he fussed over her, she would get frustrated with him.

"Okay" She whispered as Daryl kissed her head before walking away.

He walked out the house and as he hoped Glenn and Aaron where waiting.

"Glenn do me a favour and don't let Spencer anywhere near her." Daryl asked Glenn.

"Believe me I won't" Glenn agreed as Aaron sorted through his bag.

"You seen him this mornin?" Daryl wondered looking around as they walked towards the gate.

"You might be in luck" Aaron pointed at the gate, there he was waiting.

"Don't bring in any attention" Glenn panicked as Daryl picked up the pace, but it was too late for that.

"Hey!" Daryl yelled, Spencer turning, knowing exactly what was about to happen, but stood his ground.

"Hey, Daryl right?" Spencer smiled, but instead Darryl sent a punch flying towards Spencer, connecting his first with Spencer's jaw, knowing him to the ground.

"You touch my girl again, I'll cut of each of your fingers and shove them where the sun down shine, you understand?" Daryl yelled down to the man as he grabbed his face in pain.

"I didn't do anything man" Spencer tried to deny it but Daryl hadn't just heard it from Theo, Glenn witnessed it.

Knowing he was lying, Daryl kicked him in the stomach as he laid on the ground.
